lulu, skwisgaar skwigelf (pre-dethklok)

Who: Lulu and Skwisgaar-the-younger.
What: Chatting.
When: Saturday evening.
Where: Mordhaus.
Warnings: I literally have no idea. I'll update as needed.

Lulu had wanted to get out of the cabin for a while, just to walk around. She left a note for Skwisgaar so he wouldn't worry, and then portkeyed over to Mordhaus. She wasn't really dressed for the weather, but she didn't mind; she had walked directly from the cabin to the portkey and then right to Mordhaus' front lawn. The Klokateers nodded to her, not remarking on her presence. They were accustomed to far odder things. She thought that perhaps she could find Teja and chat about ideas for the party they were going to throw for Charles. She was wondering what to get him for a gift, as she didn't want to default to brandy or cigars.

As she paced the halls, she paused for a moment to slip off her heels, groaning to herself as her bare feet moved along the cool marble floor. After a time, she heard familiar rapidfire twanging. It made her smile; the sound immediately calmed her and made her feel comfortable. It was a sound she identified with comfort, with love, with her husband. Though she knew this wouldn't be her husband, she sought it out. Teja could wait for a time.

It wasn't her husband, but it wasn't the version she was used to either. Skwisgaar had apparently decided that he needed a break from Toki for a while (a while that would likely only last an hour at most) and had gone to sprawl himself across a chair in one of the sitting rooms, staying away from the main room for the time being.

His brow was furrowed, apparently fully intent on what he was doing, eyes half-closed, running one song right into another and a third, mostly just to make sure that he still could after all, he hadn't gotten as much practice in lately as he would have liked.

She'd only met this version for a time, when she'd been a boy, and even then not this version specifically. It had been her husband then, some time-addled other-version of the man before her. At any rate, she associated the man in front of her with rejection and carelessness, which was something she had to swallow down.

Lulu leaned against the doorframe, watching him wordlessly. She couldn't help smiling to herself. He was at turns uniquely familiar and completely different. But she thought he would be similar enough where if she disturbed him, he wouldn't enjoy it. So she stood, barefoot and quiet, trying not to chuckle at how Soren had started to thump against her.

He continued to play, a small, almost grim smile settling into place as he ran through his part of Yardwoolves, doing it again a moment later, faster, stopping partway through when he realized he was being watched, brow arching as he twisted around to see who it was.

His brow furrowed then, just for a moment, "Why's you gots a standing up for?" He scoffed then, shaking his head and jerking his chin towards the other chair, "You should has a sitsdown."

Lulu's eyes widened. She hadn't been expecting that reaction, which was why she didn't protest and simply obeyed. After lowering herself into the chair, she ran her hands over her stomach, trying to soothe Soren a little bit. She still didn't want to interrupt Skwisgaar more than she already had.

It was odd; she could see why so many women had thrown themselves at him, and she could see a few of the lines around his eyes. But there weren't as many of them, and he was still somehow different. She smiled to think that this was Toki's Skwisgaar. Instead of jealousy, it inspired a great calm.

	"You just comes to sees at de place a while?" He asked, picking up where he'd left off with playing, still just a little puzzled by her sudden appearance, after all, as far as he'd been told she lived elsewhere with his olderself. More than likely he'd ask if he could pet her belly once he was done playing. (Reply to this)

	"I was looking for Teja, to see if there was anything Charles would like for a gift aside from brandy and cigars." She smiled and shrugged a shoulder. "That, and it's nice to have a change of scenery from time to time. I haven't left the cabin in a while. You know who I am?" That was unexpected. (Reply to this)

There was an eyeroll at that, but not the usual 'surrounded by idiots' one, really, given as how there was a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, fingers still moving. Muscle memory was a wonderful thing, "Oh yeah, because we's is getting all kinds of a pregnant ladies arounds of de place all kinds of a time." He shrugged then, "I remembers on ..." He shook his head then, brow creasing a moment, "Toki tells me abouts a thing and a peoples here."

Honestly he wasn't sure if he remembered her or not, he felt like he should at any rate.

Skwisgaar's smiles were something that didn't happen often, and Lulu loved every single one of them. They always made her toes curl, and she leaned back in her chair. Crossing her legs, she started to take her hair down, mostly because the pins were starting to give her a slight headache. "I'm glad Toki is here. I'm glad you found each other again." Really, it eased her mind knowing that Toki had found him again. It gave her faith that the vortex - if sentient at all - was a benevolent thing.

"You don't have to remember me, that you know who I am is enough."

He shrugged then, finally finishing the song and settling into the half-idle playing that she was probably used to, "Ja, Tokis is have an explain on thing?" A shrug, "Just so I haves a knowing about what is happen here."

He'd even broken it down in to small pieces so that Skwisgaar wouldn't get bored and tune him out halfway through. "I know de bumpsbaby is here all grows up too, and he's is have a marry at Toki's grandsons from de future too." As far as he was concerned this all made perfect sense.

Lulu beamed at that. "Soren and Cassidy are very sweet, yes. It's comforting knowing that he turns out well." She ran her fingers over her stomach again, nodding to it with her eyes on Skwisgaar. "He's kicking, if you'd like to feel. He always does whenever you or my husband play." She chuckled, humming along a little bit as she patted against Soren's foot. Or hand. She was never sure.

"I'm just glad you're here. I was worried about Toki for a time." Lulu tended to worry about everyone, though she never expressed it. People who knew her well could see it, but she never talked out loud about it unless pressed.

	Well she certainly knew what he liked. He smiled at that, sliding out of his chair to settle on the floor beside hers, one hand spreading against her belly, "Don't kicks on anything aportents for your mama, hokay bump-Soren? Don't steps on anythings she is maybe need for later, ja?" He murmured, fingers twitching slightly at the next kick, smile tilting again. (Reply to this)

She was glad she wasn't in a crying fit sort of mood, or his murmured words would have sent her into a spiral of happy tears. As it was, she just smiled and chuckled a little. "Every time you boys play guitar. He's so proud of his father already." She ran her fingers through her hair, sighing contentedly. Soren gave a particularly hard thump once he felt the presence of something, and she groaned lightly, following it with a chuckle. "Darling, he's right there, shhh."

	There was an actual smile at the thump, shaking his head, "He's is just already havings on a good tastes of musicals, ja?" A nod then, "Dat's is good, means on he won't has an annoys on everiesbody with a dildos kinds of musicstaste." (Reply to this)

	ultimafury 2009-01-31 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	"He does play guitar," she smiled. She curled her toes and stretched out her legs, smiling at Skwisgaar and leaning back more heavily. "He's a good boy." Which was still strange to say, considering he was only a year younger than her. (Reply to this)

	cockylilbastard 2009-01-31 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	This version knew quite a bit more about pregnant women than the younger version did, though not as much as the still-elder. He shook his head, twisting himself around so that he could massage her calves, "Ja." He said in the tone of 'well duh' "Gots a moms like you insteads of crazybitch moms like I gots." (Reply to this)

	ultimafury 2009-01-31 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	She hadn't been expecting him to touch her at all, and she couldn't help a tiny moan escaping her lips. "Mmm," she purred, before laughing out loud when he mentioned his mother. "I threatened to light her on fire. If I ever see that woman again, I'm going to slap her." Lulu didn't hate many things in that world or her own, but Servetta was one of them. (Reply to this)

	cockylilbastard 2009-01-31 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	There was that half-amused little smile again, apparently she was good at getting them, he shook his head, "I's is already have tells on Toki dat's she is prolublies just walks aways from a firetorchings likes dat turmilator guy." He hadn't stopped kneading, however gently, at her leg. (Reply to this)

	ultimafury 2009-01-31 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Mmm, then I'd try to blow her up. Or freeze her, or poison her, or simply summon Death. Really, something I can do should work on - " She had been about to say more, but his fingers over her ankle felt like heaven, and she fell back into the chair with a satisfied bite of her lip. (Reply to this)

	cockylilbastard 2009-01-31 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	The smile went smug at that, shaking his head as he continued, "I can sees on why I is prolubly haves a liking at you when I gets a olders." Because she was small and pretty AND she could apparently kick ass. (Reply to this)

"What, because you can play me like a guitar?" She chuckled and sighed, moment having passed. She did still purr a little, a low rumble in her throat. "And I don't know what you see, I'm just glad that you do at all." It was odd; when she'd first talked to Skwisgaar on the boards, she'd thought he was stuck up, arrogant, and a bit on the slow side. Now she thought the exact opposite, and couldn't imagine her life without him.

	cockylilbastard 2009-01-31 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	But he was all of those things! At least, this one was. Kind of. There was an amused scoff at that, shaking his head and shifting over to the other leg, just repeating what he'd done before, "Maybes a little bits of dat, ja." (Reply to this)

"As long as my husband does. That's all that matters." She smiled and looked down at the strangely comforting vision of a younger Skwisgaar and poked him with her free toe. "You don't have to do that, you know. I won't stop you, but it's certainly not necessary." She shifted a little, hoping that Toki wouldn't come in and get upset. The younger Skwisgaar had been one thing - Skwisgaar yes, but not Toki's. The man in front of her wasn't hers at all, and she reminded herself of that fact over and over in her mind.

	He shrugged, poking back, mostly just because he could, "Ja, I's is knowing on abouts dat knowledges." A shrug then, kneading just a little more firmly at her ankle, "I wants to does of it tho, somesbody is gots to make sure you haves an alrights while you's is being here, ja?" (Reply to this)

	ultimafury 2009-01-31 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	She bit her lip again to keep from crying out, smiling a little. Her ankles had been a bit sore of late, and she was silently thankful for the attention that he was paying to them. "I'm not fragile, but thank you all the same. Really." (Reply to this)

	cockylilbastard 2009-02-01 12:29 am UTC (link)
	There was another eyeroll at that, "Just because you's is not haves a breaking easy doesn't be the sames kind of thing as makes sure you gets a take care on, ja?" (Reply to this)
