Bolstered with caffeine thanks to the Perk, Duke had returned to his boat to see just how much damage his younger self had managed to wreak over the weekend. The place was a wreck, especially the galley, with weapons (that had been toys, which was reassuring and terrifying in equal measure) strewn about wherever wee!Duke had happened to drop them, and a sticky film of grape jelly coating pretty much everything. He'd thankfully been quick enough even as a ten year old to keep the small fire he'd started trying to use the waffle iron contained to a very small space, so that wouldn't take much more than replacing the outlet and maybe resanding part of a cabinet.

And, as predicted, there were five pizzas, two giant cookies, and a rather unholy amount of Pepsi leftover in his fridge. Also, most of a frittata, at least half a serving of beef stew, and several stale and/or smashed cookies. He fed those last items to the porgs, who were all terribly pleased to see him, and set about making the Rouge a proper home again.

He had the door to the deck propped open to air out the smell of small semi-feral boy and to be able to hear if Octavia -- or anyone else -- came around. And, well, if he ended up humming some Violent Femmes under his breath while he did, well. Not everything he remembered from being a kid was a bad memory.

Octavia took her time. Between her extended training bout in the preserve and then returning to the apartment for a shower and tattoo maintenance and then a quick store run in town, the late afternoon was turning into the early evening as the sound of her boots across the gangplank and then along the deck heralded her arrival.

She was carrying a bag from Turtle & Canary which did not have any Oreos in it, thank you very much.

"It's me," Octavia called back, more comfortable raising her voice now than she would've been before the preserve. Not that it was that necessary a confirmation, considering she was making her way in soon after. Carefully, yes, and raising her eyebrows just a little at the reason for it. "Guess we did some damage."

She was willing to take partial blame/credit. She'd been here for a while yesterday, too.

"I noticed."

In so many ways.

Octavia held up the bag. "I brought... some fruit and juice, mostly." She'd had cravings for fresh things after three days on a diet consisting 75% of cookies. "There's some chocolate in there, too."

"I never want to see another Oreo again," Octavia drawled dryly, only a little bit hyperbolic. But, hey! She'd managed to get some tones back into her voice since this morning.

And also: "Other kinds might be fine. Guess we'll find out."

"Good," Octavia replied, setting one bottle of apple juice down on the table before brushing past him to stick the other one in his fridge, and also to pull out a pizza, probably. "Actually hit the target a few times."

Well, she'd mostly just nicked the corners, but it was a start.

"Beau gave me one of her throwing stars, I was practising with that."

okteiviakom: ([neu] willing to hear you out)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
"It didn't help," Octavia said, like she hadn't already given ample evidence that she'd just ignore pain when she felt like it. "But, no. I use a small target, and the star takes precision."

Octavia pulled out a pizza box, and peered into it. "My sword was plastic." Along with all her knives, yes. "I don't think I touched it even once all weekend."

Tiny Octavia, you were a disappointment.

(Or possibly not.)

"You don't think I would've tried to slice someone's face open?" Octavia drawled, with a glance over at him. "I did grow up on some violent myths."

Yes, but those parts hadn't stuck.

"Fear is a demon," Octavia drawled with her gaze downcast, sounding like she was quoting something she'd heard more than once. "I knew how to slay it."

Then she looked up again, and nodded at the pizza she was holding. "Warmed up, or are we doing the standard leftover pizza barbarism?"

She could say that because she was kind of a barbarian herself!

okteiviakom: ([neu] I am always right)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
Octavia snorted, and said, "Suit yourself." But it was an act, just an affectation for the sake of clinging to the comfort of being something a little more Trikru and something a little less... tiny, scared Space Girl.

She had a healthy appreciation of both ovens as well as warm pizza. Probably evident in the ease with which she went to use the former to make the latter happen right after saying that.

okteiviakom: ([neu] i had a dream once)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
"Makes sense," Octavia replied mildly, after taking a second to figure out the oven and get the pizza safely in there. Then she straightened up again. "Get it while you can, that kind of thing."

Octavia went to empty the rest of her shopping onto the counter. An entire pineapple (because fruit was better when there was knifework involved), a few oranges, a thing of strawberries. And a bag of those mini peanut butter cups because those were kind of a comfort thing, not that she'd say so.

"It's why I'm half made of Oreos now, too," she said. "And cake."

Liam had used his precocious adorableness for good to get them that.

Date: 2019-11-19 05:03 pm (UTC)
okteiviakom: ([neu] wait what's that)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
At least going overboard with grocery shopping was still her healthiest coping strategy of the day.

"My mom made it for me," she said, as she popped the strawberry container open. "His name was Bunny."
