the small happiness that i shared with you

[shoyu]

CHARACTERS: Bardo, Heather, Soysauce.
LOCATION: Oxygen Gardens.
WARNINGS: None.
SUMMARY: Picnic food and canoodling.

It's good to relax, sometimes. Soysauce always has been, always will be a hard working -- diligently tending to his shift on security, spending plenty of time cooking, helping out with this and that, seeing if there's anything else little that needs being done. He's always been the type to feel like sitting still, waiting for things to happen is a bit of a waste of time, and he's happiest when he has something to do, something to keep his attention occupied.

But still. Sometimes it's good to just have a bit of time to rest and take a breather.

So one afternoon finds Soysauce trotting to the Oxygen Gardens with a little bundle of food in hand. It would be nice to have a basket -- like a picnic basket! -- but he hadn't been able to procure one. The best he could do was to find a rather large cloth and tie together the top; he'd packed up two sandwiches, a few pastries, a couple sweets in paper, all the ingredients necessary for a nice picnic lunch.

And now, striding between the tall tufts of grass, Soysauce kept an eye out for a certain, familiar, tiger-eared gardener that he knew would be here. Gladly giving anyone else he passed along the way a bright, cheerful smile.

[There's a soft purr at that, head tilting against the nuzzling quick as it is. Even as Soy pulls away and settles down at his side, Bardo leans against him, tail curling about waist in the absence of another tail to twine with happily.]

I'm sure it would be delicious no matter what you made. [There's a quick grin, teasing, and then he ducks down to pull away the paper, careful to mind his claws.] How was your shift?

[ a small glance down and a laugh when he feels bardo's tail curling against his side. quite the comforting little touch.

and soysauce settles in comfortably at bardo's side, leaning against him a bit as he unwraps his own sandwich and takes a bite. chewing slowly and swallowing before answering. ] Mm -- nothing much to report, to be honest. Just the usual. [ he picks a bit at his sandwich, peeling away a bit more of the paper and taking another bite before going on. ] But that's a good thing, I think! Means nothing catastrophic's happening, yes?

[The tip of his tail taps gently against Soysauce's hip, the only hint that he's permanently restless as all cats can be. But for now he's working his way through a sandwich happily, ears swiveling slowly to listen to the quick little tale.]

For now at least! [He laughs a bit under his breath, because oh that might have jinxed them, oops.] Nice though, having some quiet time.
