Title: Precise Measure
Pairing: Snarry
Rating: G
Prompt: their idiosyncracies
A/N: just a quickie--going with the obvious.
"What are you doing?"
"Chopping vegetables for stew, because you asked me to see to supper. What does it appear I'm doing?"
"Well. Chopping vegetables, actually. But--"
"So, you asked because you enjoy forcing me to state the obvious? Still?"
"Because I was unclear regarding why the pile in the rubbish is larger than the pile in the dish, actually."
"The recipe requires one-inch cubes."
"I think there's leeway."
"The author wouldn't have specified if it weren't relevant. Therefore, the non-conforming pieces are useless."
"Oh. …Maybe you should save the remainders for another time."
"Then they wouldn't be fresh."
"…Right."
