Damn Kavinsky for giving me issues with purple.

Research?

[leylined]

He really is joking most of the time, you know.

[He nods.] I talked to Jimi about it. After having to promise to go to her May Day service. It's worth a shot, though, isn't it?

By the way, what's skyclad?

[liberty_bodice]

I know. How long did it take me to be okay with Jane, though?

[Her eyebrow goes up at his question.] Uh. Well. [And she starts snickering, then laughs.] You know how you hear about all those naked-under-the-full-moon rituals that everyone jokes about? It's... that. Ritual no-pants.

[leylined]

I think you adapted to it pretty quickly. I can come up with a name for you if you feel like you got used to that one too quickly, though.

[Adam's eyes are saucers.] Nooooo.

[liberty_bodice]

I disliked it thoroughly for a long time. Just didn't fight it, since it was happening anyway. And you're welcome to give me a nickname, if you want to. Won't answer to it.

[She grins] And this is why you never agree to anything with Jimi without running it by me or Persephone first.

[leylined]

I can get out of it. I can get out of it, right?

[liberty_bodice]

Kinda depends on what you agreed to. Did you agree to the nudity?

[leylined]

She said she'll help me free of charge if I go. I said okay. She told me it's skyclad but I didn't want to be rude to her so I said okay again. [He pauses.] Oh god.

[liberty_bodice]

[Blue dissolves into giggles] You're screwed.

[leylined]

Blue, I can't. That's like- what if Orla's there? You're not going, are you?

[liberty_bodice]

No. I opted out of the nude events ages ago. [She reaches over and pats his shoulder] It's okay. I can get you out of the naked part. Not the rest, though. So you might have to see Orla and Jimi and possibly Calla naked.

[leylined]

Ew. [Not that them naked is anything objectionable, but Blue's since become like a sibling to Adam, so by extension it'd be like looking at extended family.]

[liberty_bodice]

Yeah. Generally. I mean, I have to see it all the time, but it's not necessarily something I'd wish upon my friends. I can go with you. Protect you from the nudes.

How's the research going, anyway?

[leylined]

You don't have to throw yourself between me and your heathen pagan kin, Blue.

It's...coming along okay, I guess?

[liberty_bodice]

You've never seen them skyclad, Adam. I might.

Helping at all?

[leylined]

The only one I'm scared about is Orla. I've seen how she looks at us.

I haven't really started yet. Jimi said choosing the right crystal's important. And I should get more than one.

[liberty_bodice]

Good instincts. She'd eat you alive.

There's a shop, next town over. We can go check it out, if you want to.

[leylined]

Not necessarily a bad thing. [He smirks.]

[He pauses and looks away.] No car, unless you can somehow get the family one.

[liberty_bodice]

Gross, don't do that. [She makes a face]

[Blue nods] I can get it, in a little while. And I can drive, too.

[leylined]

Then keep your creepy cousin away from me.

[A small weight lifts from Adam's shoulders when she offers. He isn't sure he's ready to drive again, yet.] It's good practice, right?

[liberty_bodice]

I'll keep them away, don't worry.

Calla will be home from work in about fifteen, and then it should be free for a couple hours, until Jimi needs it later for the class she's teaching at the community college. We should be able to get there and back. Even with me driving.

[leylined]

Are you positive?

[liberty_bodice]

Shut the hell up. You want tea or something while we wait out Calla?

[leylined]

[Adam looks around for a moment to see if anyone's there. Satisfied, he looks back at Blue and shakes his head adamantly.] Literally anything else.

[liberty_bodice]

[She grins, then waves him toward the kitchen. She pokes her head into the fridge, where she comes back with iced tea] I made this, it's safe.
