Room 429, Saturday Evening

[raspberryturk]

It had been a long day, and Reno had gotten permission to beat people up for candy, which meant that Deadpool was the coolest adult ever. But, as really cool days tended to go, there was always a time when wee Renos had to retire to their bedrooms again, in order to pull on their pyjamas and get ready for be-

"WEASEL! WEASEL WEASEL WEASEL!!!"

Maybe not get ready for bed so much. There was a time when wee Renos had to harass the poor ferret, instead.

Honk!

"I am," Reno said proudly. And then, after a long, thoughtful pause, he added, "Do you have any candy?"

Deadpool gave him permission to punch people to take their candy.

Rikku patted her pockets down. "Nope," she said, narrowly avoiding face-punching. "Do you gots any?"

[raspberryturk]

"I miiiiight." Reno hugged onto a very disenchanted ferret and grinned. "But you gotts to apologize for sayin' I have cooties afore you get any."

He'd totally hit that poor rickshaw driver right in the junk on the way back to the dorms because he'd refused to dish out.

This was a dilemma. Apologize to the meanieface, or not get candy.

"But I want candy," she whined.

[raspberryturk]

"Well, you don't get none until you say sorry," Reno said, and he'd be crossing his arms over his chest, but he had a weasel to hang on to for dear life. "I earned that candy, fair and square!"

[the_merriest]

"But 'm not sorry," Rikku insisted. Life was terribly cruel, making her choose in this fashion.

[raspberryturk]

"Well, more candies for me, then!" And they were gooood candies. They were M&Ms!

Honk!

That was not a Mako honk of agreement. That was a Mako honk of for all that is holy, someone SAVE ME.

"Can I pet your weasel?" Rikku asked, candy momentarily forgotten.

He might have cootie-fleas, but those honks were kinda cute.

[raspberryturk]

The candy was HIS! Woo! Reno won!

"Sure you can! But careful for his teefs. He tried to eat Edmund's nose earlier."

Rikku was going to wobble over uncertainly to the ferret, who ... was probably not all that thrilled to see her, no. But she was offering her fingers out to him, and trying not to be a hyperspaz. (At the moment.)

Mako, still unsure, opted to sniff at her fingers, which led to a squeal of delight from Rikku. "It tickles!"

[raspberryturk]

"He has a tickly nose," Reno agreed with a nod. "And he smells like X-Potions and stinky socks!"

The difference between an X-Potion and a stinky sock is that most people opted to put the stinky sock in their mouth to try to get rid of the flavor of the other.

Mako really didn't smell that putrid, no.

"Pet him caaarefully, okay?"

[the_merriest]

"Okay," Rikku agreed, holding her hand out to pat at the ferret's back. It wasn't very coordinated petting, but it certainly was the closest that she could get to gentle.

Mako, for his part, seemed to sense there were genuinely good intentions, and wriggled in response. Still wary. The little ones seemed to be insane.
