PILLOW FORT MEME

Who said a meme has to have elaborate rules? You've just built the ULTIMATE FORT out of pillows, blankets, and couch cushions. Decide who gets in and who has to stay out. Throw jelly beans at invaders, read scary stories at midnight with a flashlight. Play truth or dare. Discover your inner child! Go nuts!

Sorcha lifts her head and her tongue lolls out, and her tail makes soft 'whump whump' noises against the pillows.

Sorcha has definitely grown since he got her at the Nexus pound, but she's still all limbs and hair, and tongue. Either she remembers Jelani from her puppyhood, or she's just a friendly dog. She starts offering a paw right away, just in case the trick will get her something good.

"Right where I've always been," she says as she turns to Connor. "In the Nexus. Just sorta... I dunno, got caught up in my own stuff and lost touch with a lot o' people." It just sort of happened that way. "So how've ya been?"
no subject
"I've been... busy. In the forge." He looks a little sheepish at that, because he really has dropped out of the Nexus for a while. Connor falls into being a hermit all too easily, and he knows it. "Sorcha, lay down." He offers Jelani her glass over the dog's back once she's settled a little. "Sorry, I guess I haven't been around. But you're always welcome to visit, you know. Kai likes you fine."

"So what've ya been makin' in th' forge?"

Even when he's swallowed and come down from his cloud, Connor hands her the carving he's been working on to have a look at, instead. The way he's shaped the antler, it looks right for a knife handle, and what he's been carving with that itty-bitty blade is a scrimshaw design, a tiny image of a ship at sea. He's pretty good.
Once her gaze is on that, he answers, "You should. I've got something there for you." It is an answer to her question, in its way.
no subject
She runs her thumb over the small lines carved into the horn, studying it. Knife or some other tool. Probably a knife. "Well, heck, now ya got me curious," she says with a loopsided little grin and hands the piece of antler back. "Guess I'll just hafta come over."
no subject
"I'm there most days." It's warm, and it's familiar, and it's just possible that between his forge and Kai he's trying to relive his early days with Heather, back before he knew what he was and could pretend to be a simple blacksmith. Or maybe he's just happy to use his skills again. "Less in the spring, but it overlooks the garden and I'll be there then, instead." It's way too early to do much there.

Another sip of whisky. "I'll come by once we've gotten settled." She smiled, looking almost embarrassed. "Wylie an' I bought a house. We're just about ta move in."

It's always entertaining seeing her look sheepish, though, so he's tempted to milk that. "Does that mean he'll be the one hauling your furniture?" He sips his scotch with a little grin, and rubs Sorcha's ears absently.

Sorcha's ears perk and she tilts her head at the laughing, then lays her head in Connor's lap again.
Another swallow, and Connor's glass is almost empty. "Let me know if you want any help, though. More hands make things go faster." He's not sure how much stuff she has, but it seems rude not to offer to help her move. He's feeling stronger after a year working the forge, anyway. He'll never be musclebound, but he's in a lot better shape now than when he first came to the Nexus, half-starved and too depressed to bother taking care of himself.
no subject
"I think we've got it covered," she says in regards to the move. "Thanks, though. I'll call ya if we need an extra pair o' hands. In any case, ya hafta come by once we're settled."
no subject
"Sure, I'll bring you a housewarming bottle. Can Kai come, too?" He's already thinking of making her some sort of housewarming gift, too. There's so many useful things he can produce out of his forge.

"I'll call first. Does he need cooking lessons?" Connor is actually a pretty capable cook, having raised a picky little girl as a single parent. He and Kai split cooking, although she's more inclined to bake goodies.

She should get gardening tips from him. They can trade seed and tools.
