Laffy Taffy Cabin, Alcove A3

[icecoldfrost]

When it came down to it, Emma was bored. There was only so much sitting quietly and playing nicely that she was capable of the in the first place, and she'd used most of it up the first fourteen years of her life, trying to be perfect for Winston.

Which is how the germ of an idea started tickling inside her head, and why Emma was in her alcove, pecking away at her Blackberry and haphazardly shoving items in a bag. It was devious and sneaky, and might actually work. Now she just needed to work out the timezone difference to make sure she didn't arrive too early, and her evil plan would be complete.

"If I tell them you had a date with a boy, they'll be too busy giving you an inquisition to mind me tripping over my own feet," she teased. "So tell me about this date."

[glacial_queen]

Ooooh, low blow.

"You are the meanest mean Emma who was ever mean," Karla informed her, sulking. "And I shouldn't tell you anything, since you are so mean."

Of course Karla was going to tell her everything. She was too excited not to.

"So, tomorrow, Warren's going to take me to Taste of Thai," she said, trying not to smile too much. "He said it's because he owes me lots of fabulous lunches, but he said it was a date--several times. So, I'm pretty sure it's a real date."

[icecoldfrost]

"Well, if the gentleman says it's a date, and the lady doesn't object," Emma agreed, trailing off significantly and raising an eyebrow at Karla. "Do you like him?"

[glacial_queen]

Karla's blush probably answered that question all too well. "He's very nice," she said quickly. "And handsome. And a good friend."

Wow, Karla. Could you make him sound any blander?

[icecoldfrost]

"He's a boy, Karla, not a shampoo," Emma said acidly. "You may as well have just said he smells nice and I would have gotten more information."

[glacial_queen]

Karla fidgeted a little. "I don't know what to say!" she said. "I do like him. A lot. And I think about kissing him." A lot, but she wasn't necessarily going to admit that. "Just not sure how to say that without sounding dumb."

[icecoldfrost]

"He's handsome and fun and you've entertained a naughty thought once or twice, and then you act coy until I bribe you," Emma prompted. "It's not hard."

[glacial_queen]

"He's handsome and fun and I may have entertained a naughty thought or two, and surely uoi don't need to know any more than that," Karla said immediately.

[icecoldfrost]

"Surely I do," Emma instantly retorted. "For instance, is he picking you up, or are you meeting there? How many nice lunches does he owe you, and why?"

"And if you're entertaining naughty thoughts, what sort, because I want to know how much on an inquisition I ought to put Worthington through."

[glacial_queen]

"He's picking me up at the cabins," Karla recited dutifully, "He owes me fabulous lunches forever, because I spent a while scritching his feathers when he was molting, so...infinite? If we were serious about that?"

She laughed. "And shouldn't the inquisition be based on the naughty thoughts he has about me and not the other way around? Assuming he has them, I mean. Naughty thoughts. About me."

[icecoldfrost]

"Well, I need to test his reaction to the idea of you having naughty thoughts about him," she pointed out. "I rather assume he's having naughty thoughts about you, darling."

He was, after all, a boy, and Karla was quite pretty.

[glacial_queen]

"So how much detail are you looking for to go into, here?" Karla asked, shooting Emma an amuses--if suspicious--glance.

[icecoldfrost]

"You can just start talking, and I can tell you when I've heard enough?" Emma suggested. "Don't worry about TMI."

She could always use it for blackmail later.

[glacial_queen]

"Don't think I don't know that you'll hold whatever I say over my head," Karla muttered.

"Honestly though--" since a little thing like that wasn't about to stop Karla from gossiping with Emma anyway, "--I keep think about straddling his lap and kissing him," she admitted. Her voice was steady, but she couldn't help herself from blushing. Stupid fair skin. "And I like his wings...either enfolding us or sometimes, umm, using feathers to tickle?"

[icecoldfrost]

"Karla!" Emma was delighted. "Wicked! You've been thinking about this!"

Emma was so proud.

[glacial_queen]

"Mother Night, Emma, I'm a virgin, not blind!" Karla said with a laugh. "Besides, have you seen him with his shirt off? It's kind of hard not to have those thoughts."

[icecoldfrost]

"If I admit to having those thoughts, you might trip me with Craft at a bad moment," Emma pointed out, "Or chill my coffee or something equally horrible."

"But I'm not blind either, darling."

[glacial_queen]

"I think I can handle a little bit of agreement," Karla said, trying not to grin too much. "I don't mind my friends thinking that I have a date with a very attractive male."

[icecoldfrost]

"Then this would be the time to tell you that I kissed him at a kissing booth, and he did a respectable job," Emma laughed, winking at Karla. "And I got a dance with a different-him in my world, once."

[glacial_queen]

Karla couldn't be jealous about that; for one thing, she was far too eager for details. "Speak!" she said, pointing at Emma. "I need details. How respectable? And when did you get to dance with him? Was he identical to this-Warren?"

[icecoldfrost]

Emma laughed, and showed Karla a a glimpse of her chatting with a Warren Worthington the III before Jono had gotten her to pay attention to him.

"I think the similarities are rather astounding, don't you agree?"

[glacial_queen]

"Emma, are you flirting?" Karla asked, laughing. "I wonder if this Warren has any better idea of what is about to hit him than our Warren would."

She studied the image again. "My--rather, this Warren is handsomer,' she declared. "This was looks a lot more worldly."

[icecoldfrost]

"He is. A bit of a playboy, if the rumors are true, but I doubt they are. I'm sure he can sweep a girl off her feet, but I doubt he's taken any of them to bed." Wings were, after all, hard to hide when shirtless.

[glacial_queen]

"He could if he just didn't get undressed," Karla said, following Emma's unspoken line of reasoning. "Maybe he just convinces them all he's a better lover when clad in a shirt and tie."

Not that Karla had ever thought about anything like that.

[icecoldfrost]

"Or maybe they're the ones wearing the tie," Emma retorted slyly. A tie could become a blindfold, after all.

And really, she just wanted to see how badly Karla would blush at the suggestion.
