[ It has been an obnoxiously long day. Actually, it's been a very long week. The planning, the comparing, the struggle to find the best quality but cheapest package, the preparations, the packing, weighing the luggage over and over so they don't have to check bags, the airport, the flight, the constant reassurance that little Lodewijk will be ALRIGHT with Luxembourg... by the end of it all she was starting to wonder if her idea was a good one. But they've finally arrived and whether it be out of frustration or relief, the place seems a lot nicer than she initially imagined.

There's a chill in the air but the sun does peek through the overcast snow clouds. The snow is fresh and beautiful and white, not like the gray slush back home. The lodge itself is heavy with the scent of hot smoked meat, old cedar and pine and there's something sweet and warm in the air, pastries perhaps? Fresh bread? The crackle of wood can be heard from the massive fireplace in lodge's common space and on the board with the specials for the day clearly says that they have mulled mead. MULLED MEAD.

She blinks at the sign for a moment, tired but her face lighting up with delight as she gives Ned a gentle tug of his sleeve, trying to pull his attention away from the man grabbing their room keys. ]

Ned, look... they have mulled mead. I haven't had mead in so so long.

[You think they'd be over this kind of thing by now, but, nope. At least he isn't. Instead of relying on his newfound focus on far walls he ducks back into the bathroom and keeps talking.]

Uh, yeah. Bathtub. Nice shower, towels.
handelaar: (klerelijer)

[Hey, it's not like he got a good look at it. Now he just knows that it exists and is going to think about it at inopportune times until he sees it again, because that is how these things end up.]

Call - [hey!] - y'don't get dibs, Bel.
handelaar: (um no)

[personal profile] handelaar 2014-02-25 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ROLLING. HIS. EYES.]

Definitely don't get dibs.
handelaar: (just gonna pout over here in the corner)

I can fit in there too.

[>:c]
handelaar: (brooding)

[personal profile] handelaar 2014-02-25 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Hm.

[Well, okay. That's acceptable. Which means that he starts poking around the rest of the bathroom.]
handelaar: (yo japan)

[personal profile] handelaar 2014-02-25 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Uh.

[Is he supposed to be? He looks torn between apprehensive and indignant.]

Not really.
handelaar: (gimme a light)

[personal profile] handelaar 2014-02-25 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't - [HUFF!]

[He didn't come up with anything... which is a piss-poor reason to protest, really.]
handelaar: (this tea is bitter)

[personal profile] handelaar 2014-02-25 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[No way.]

No way. [He crosses his arms.] Not if I gotta carry ya around the lobby.
handelaar: (tiptoe through the tulips)

[He looks like he's about to sneeze. But grumpier. He can't say that he could carry all of it or else she'll make him and that will suck but he could.]

[Instead he smirks and reaches over to turn on the faucet.]

[LA LA LA]

Don't see you in it.
handelaar: (trade negotiations get me going)

[So does his ridiculously huge smirk give him away, or does his ridiculously huge smirk give him away - JUST AS PLANNED.]
