[Meanwhile, Beverly is off to the other side busy working on the synthehol production. By now she's gotten the process down smoothly and doesn't have to pay as much attention to it, so she's able to keep an eye on Sokka's doings as well. For the life of her, she can't figure out what he's trying to make or why it involves protein gel.

She turns and raises an eyebrow at his words.]

This time? What happened before?

[alwayscomeback]

[Look. Look. It's important science, okay? ]

...I might have set fire to the table a tiny little bit.

[dancingmd]

[She sighs with exasperation.]


Sokka.

[alwayscomeback]

Only a little bit. You can hardly notice it.

[Yeah. You can notice it. ]

Besides, i know it won't explode this time. I fixed it.

[dancingmd]

[Beverly raises a skeptical eyebrow.]

Maybe I should get the fire extinguisher ready, just in case?

[alwayscomeback]

If you want to be safe, I guess.

[No, really, GET TWO. He starts fiddling with the machine again. Hawky flaps off his perch and sits on Beverly's shoulder. You're safe and sane, he'll stick with you. ]

No faith in me gosh.

[dancingmd]

[Beverly gives Hawky a little neck scritch. He's got good instincts. She goes to fetch one of the fire extinguishers and sets it at the ready next to the table.]

It's my job to worry.

[But! She leans her elbows on the table and looks at Sokka's invention with interest.]

Nevertheless, I do hope it works.

[alwayscomeback]

Yeah yeah, I know. Team Mom.

[He adjusts a things here or two.]

And hey, if it does, we can make our lives a little easier, right?

[dancingmd]

What does it do anyway? I've been trying to figure it out...

[alwayscomeback]

It'll mash up protein gels together to make new flavours- and then we can spread them on toast or whatever. I mean, if we're gonna keep getting denied a cook and all, we got to be creative.

[dancingmd]

[Beverly’s mouth quirks. Awful lot of trouble to go to instead of simply cooking. Nonetheless, she’s curious and hardly one to dampen his inventive spirit.]

What flavors are you going to try first?

[alwayscomeback]

[This is what happens when he's stuck in one place for too long. This is exactly what happens.]

Meats, of course!

[Come on, Beverly. ]

[dancingmd]

Well yes, but which meats?

[alwayscomeback]

[Big wide grin. ]

All of them.

[dancingmd]

Even the dinosaur meat?

[alwayscomeback]

But of course! That was one of the tastier meats!

[dancingmd]

If you say so...

[alwayscomeback]

You didn't like it?

[BEV!!! How...could...you?!!!! ]

[dancingmd]

It's... Certainly different.

[So no.]

[alwayscomeback]

A good different?

[Denial, thy name is Sokka. ]

[dancingmd]

It's just... Not for me.

[alwayscomeback]

[He considers this. ]


Okay. I can take that.

[dancingmd]

Means more for you, right?

[alwayscomeback]

[A smirk crosses his lips and makes camp there. ]

Curses, you discovered the sneaky part of my scheme.

[dancingmd]

[She taps her nose.]

Mother always knows.
