Setting
Ofelia, the dragon trainer, operates her dragon ranch here.
Ivie giggled, before kissing him back. She gasped a little when he picked her up and looked down at Dawn who wasn't having it. "Oh no. Dawn save me from the big handsome giant!" She said as if she was in distress and put her arm over her forehead. "Whatever shall I do, Dawn?!" She tried hard not to laugh before looking up at Blair. "Well it seems like my knight in pretty fur is here." She smiled and gently tapped his cheek with her hand.
Blair looked down at Dawn and huffed. "She doesnt want me to have any kind of fun at all." He said and watched her run circles around his feet. "Maybe she'll make herself dizzy and I can run away with you while she's distracted." He joked and then watched dawn nudge his legs. "Okay okay, i'll put the pretty princess down." He said and set Ivie back down. Dawn sat at Ivie's feet and sneezed at Blair. "My own dog, such a mama's girl...You wont win next time Dawn..." He said and crossed his arms.
Ivie laughed, though she was a bit sad and annoyed that it ended this way. "Such a mama's girl." She smiled and walked off. "I am gonna get ready for bed. Can you go walk Dawn?" She asked but disappeared into her bedroom before he could answer. Ivie went in the shower and let the steaming hot water roll over her until she calmed down and got out. She wrapped herself in a towel and just sat on the closed toilet, thinking. "Remind me not to do that ever again." She mumbled to herself.
Blair watched Ivie disappear and went to walk Dawn while Ivie was in the shower. The walk had ended before she even got out of the shower and Blair had completely distracted Dawn with a nest of toys in her bed that Dawn just could not get over at all and hopped into them, carefully carrying them one by one back to the bin. He shook his head and snuck off to the bedroom and got undressed down to his boxers and then waited for Ivie to come back.
Loris got up with Cora and got her dressed before they went to the diner and had breakfast. Cora talked about her dream of baby chickens and pink llamas. Loris couldn't help but laugh and they had a good time before he dropped her off at Ivie. Ivie welcomed her with loving arms and then he left to go to work.
Elise was up at her usual time, though today she wasnt feeling the cheeriest. She wasnt expecting Loris to get the way he was about the thing with Blair. She wasnt really mad, she knew it was just a bunch of joking around between Loris and Blair. But she didnt really know Ivie and didnt want Blair to be in trouble with his woman. That and he was hardly ever like that with her, even when she would start things with him. She walked into work and went about her day as usual.
Loris got to work but went around to the back and slipped through. He went to the break room and made himself a cup of coffee before rolling up his sleeves and going down to his own office. He just wanted to get the day over with and go home with his daughter. He was going to start reading her some of his favorite childhood stories. As he was setting up he thought about taking Cora on a little hiking trip. Maybe stop by his family's house and give them the news.
Adrian woke up before Lorelei and jumped into the shower, took his meds and checked back in on Lorelei. She was still asleep so he decided to surprise her with pancakes for breakfast. He couldnt cook much else, but he could make a really nice pancake at least. Once they were done he walked in and gently shook Lorelei awake. "Time to wake up sleepy head" He said softly.
Lorelei groaned and sat up. "Why are we up? Is that pancakes I smell? We didn't die? No fire? I'm so proud." She laughed tiredly before getting up and shuffling to the kitchen. "You took your iron pill? You forgot to take it last night." She said softly.
Adrian nodded. "I can make pancakes. Theyre even edible. Micahs even asked me to make them for him a couple of times. Its the only cooking I seem to be able to get right." He said and then blinked. "Yeah yeah, I took all of my pills when I got out of the shower. Got that stuff locked into my morning routine." He said and gave Lorelei a plate of pancakes before sitting down with a plate of his own and starting to much away. "You coming with to work today? I can go right? You seem more tired than me today anyways." He said softly.
Lorelei took a bite of her food and looked up at him while she chewed. "Mmm" She said as her eyes closed and she smiled. When she swallowed she said, "So good... and I can after training. I am shocked Dol isn't here yet. Usually she busts through my do-" She didn't even get to finish when Dol came in. "Speak of the devil and she comes." Lorelei smiled.
"Hahahaaa. She why men are bad? They make you late for things... and pancakes." She stole a bite from Lorelei and gave a thumbs up to Adrian. "Good stuff, but can I have Lorelei when she is done getting ready? Thanks. Also... you two really need to stop creeping on me through my window from here. Pervs." She stuck her tongue out at them.
Lorelei smiled innocently. "I will come when I am ready. Get warmed up so I can kick your butt." Dol pointed at her and shook her head as she disappeared out the door. "Uh oh... she saw your willy, how you performed, and now tasted your pancakes. She is gonna steal you away." She sighed. "It was nice loving you."
Lorelei smiled, "I am going to shower and we can head over to the office." She kissed him softly before running to her house and showering. Once she was done she got dress and grabbed Adrian's hand and walked to his work. "So slow at work? Wonder what Loris is doing then? Probably bugging poor Elise." She said, but when they walked in Loris wasn't bugging Elise and she could see something was up with her. "Morning, El."
Elise was doing paperwork and dreading having to go down to give Loris some paperwork he needed to fill out for one of the bodies since it was getting cremated and the remains filed in an evidence locker for an unidentified person. She looked up when she heard Lorelei and gave her a soft smile. " Morning Lor." She said and looked down at the paper. "Going to see Loris? Could you give him this paperwork for me if you are? Since you'll be going down there anyways." She said softly and slid the paper towards Lorelei.
Adrian raised an eyebrow as he got whisked away into his lab. "Hey. Im not that dense, you just do things that dont make any sense to me sometimes and then get mad when I question you." He said and huffed. "Well I mean....Its cold in here but.....I could take you back to the office and open you up in there..." He said and thought about it a little bit a tiny smirk crossing his face. "Anyways, what makes you think theres something up with them? Elise does seem kind of down, but shes gotten that way because she saw a stray dog on the way to work a few times..." He said and leaned against his table.
