The joys of sailing in from 2008, Duke was not dealing with a giant winter storm as he made his way down the coast from Maine. The weather had in fact been perfectly fine until he crossed into Fandom waters and the first of the white flakes hit the boat. He'd had some warning about this, sort of, thanks to Octavia's voicemail, but it still took him a couple minutes to work out that it really was powdered sugar falling from the sky instead of snow.

He managed to get his boat docked without getting too much of a contact sugar high, and paused on the deck for a few moments to just watch it drift in the glow of his string lights. It didn't sparkle quite the same way a good snowfall would, but it was pretty enough in its own way, and with the hood of his slicker pulled to protect his hair, he could let himself relax for a minute and just enjoy it.

A porg landed on the deck, liberally dusted and practically buzzing like a hummingbird as it rolled around in a small sugar drift. He was going to be cleaning up tiny sugar porg prints for days. Duke watched it for a moment, then turned his face back up towards the sky, tasting sugar on his lips.

"Home sweet Fandom."

This couldn't possibly be good for the fish.

[can be open, sure!]

Octavia shook her head. Practically tsked. "Ai don sin in ha yu feis don ge bliden, fou."

She'd come back to English in a second.

"Didn't save you from blushing, either."

So, no, she hadn't been talking about him being hit in the face.

"That is what I'm saying, yes," Octavia replied with a tiny nod. "I liked that, anyway."

And just like that, she was smirking a little.

"Oh, you shouldn't have said that. Now it's a goal."

"I also haven't actually tried even once."

She didn't think the odds were in her favor at all, either. But that wasn't going to stop her from joking about it!

Snort. "I don't think you understand how committed I can be."

"That was a different thing," Octavia retorted, immediately. "And also about you, not me."

There was some indignant burbling from under the table as Octavia moved one of her feet and nudged one of the birds in the process.

"Not sold on the porgs, but sure."

okteiviakom: ([pos] yeah as if)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
"Couldn't just count the 'sure' as a win?"

She nudged his leg with her foot, since she'd already upset the porgs.

"I did, just now."

So there.

"Which I think was pretty nice of me. Otherwise I could've pointed out I'm pretty sure the guy living with the porgs and losing food to them probably would call them wiley, just to save face or something."

"Brave."

You know, as if she would ever dare to seek retribution against them.
