Characters: Raven & Larry
Date: Backdated to after the Woman in the Well event
Summary: Apologizing, having Talks, and poorly cooked food.
Warnings: None expected

Morning, and Raven was already up and around. She said she'd have a talk with Larry about what happened with... the glowing red eyes and everything else that came with it. Today was that day. Though she figured that along with actually talking about herself, the least she could do was cook breakfast.

... Well, at least she could do one of those right. As it was with another occasion, the food she had cooked didn't looked appetizing at all and it smelled even worse.

But maybe the taste wouldn't be as horrid.

Maybe not.

The smell was what drew Larry into the room. The horrible, horrible smell of someone who doesn't have any idea what they're doing.

"If... if you're hungry, I can make something..."

[loveswaffles]

"Can't I just cook something to show my appreciation for you?" Though cooking something that was actually safe for consumption would've been much better.

"... Get it while it's still warm." Not like being warm made it any more appetizing.

[gun_cata]

"Promise me that it's edible." Larry is not actually sure about that. It looks like food, or something that was food at one time, but now...

[loveswaffles]

"Of course it is." To prove it, she takes a slice of the... whatever she ended up cooking, places it on a fork and...

Nope, she can't bring herself to eat it.

[gun_cata]

"Come on. I can even teach you to cook a few things if you want me to, but this is... yeah." If Raven won't eat it, Larry's not touching it.

[loveswaffles]

In a last ditch effort to prove some kind of point, Raven just takes in a deep breath and eats a piece of what was supposed to be breakfast.

She grimaces almost instantly, accompanied by some notable eye-twitching.

"Okay. So maybe it could use a little work." Ironic that in all the books she had read, cooking was not a subject she often read over.

"I was just trying to make it up to you, with inedible breakfast."

[gun_cata]

"I can tell." Larry's smiling, though. Not everyone is good at everything! That'd normal.

"You don't really have to make up for anything anyways. I'm alright, after all."

[loveswaffles]

"You came pretty close to being traumatized for life, you know." Or probably worse. "That's enough of a big deal to make it up to someone."

[gun_cata]

"Well, I guess... maybe a little close to that." Larry frowns. It sure was pretty serious. "I'm the one who followed you though.

[loveswaffles]

"The point is, I owe you. I shouldn't have said those things or tried to hurt you." Raven never wanted to hurt her friends.

[gun_cata]

"You didn't have complete control over it. We're both alright now..." Larry reaches out, placing a hand on Raven's shoulder. "It's fine."

[loveswaffles]

And thank goodness for that. Raven wouldn't have ever forgiven herself if she had hurt someone. "Still, you deserve an explanation for what you saw."

[gun_cata]

"Well, I can't stop you if you want to explain what happened, and I'd like to know as well." Maybe she can figure out a way to help, maybe it's hopelessly beyond her.

[loveswaffles]

"It's my powers, they're tied to my emotions. The more I feel, the more energy I released, and the harder they are to control." That at least explained why Raven acted the way she did, though there was still something else.

"And the rest of what you saw is something I got from my father. Or he used to be." He was kind of... not alive anymore.

[gun_cata]

"Your emotions... so I guess that's why you are the way you are." She frowned for a moment, but, well, that was life for her. They couldn't quite change it, could they?

"So your father. Was he like... some kind of... evil wizard? A demon?"

[loveswaffles]

It sounded like a rough way to live, but it was a lifestyle she was born into, and Raven was pretty used to at that point.

"A demon, and a really bad one. But he's gone, for good."

[gun_cata]

"Demons and magic... I guess he was really bad enough that it's totally fine that he's gone, huh?" It puts her not missing her mom all that much in perspective.

[loveswaffles]

"He wanted to destroy the world, and actually did it." No thanks to her own doing. Presenting your evil, demonic father with the entire planet. Not one of Raven's better decisions.

"But I stopped him."

And everyone lived happily ever after.

[gun_cata]

"So you... fixed the world being destroyed." Well, she's heard stranger things before?

[loveswaffles]

"Pretty much, all in time to wrap up my birthday." Hopefully next year's would be more fun, and less full of fire, brimstone, and demonic fathers causing the end of the world.

[gun_cata]

"That's... a pretty terrible birthday, at least up until you fixed everything." She might have to throw Raven a birthday party if she can get the day out of her.

[loveswaffles]

"Makes an interesting story to tell." Especially to kids, provided the details of said story don't terrify them too much.

[gun_cata]

"I guess it is... interesting."

[loveswaffles]

"So uh, now you know why I'm this way. Maybe things make a bit more sense to you now."

[gun_cata]

"It makes a lot more sense. Sorry if I ever pestered you about it." Not that she did that very often.

[loveswaffles]

"It's fine. You don't really pester me all that often." A shame she couldn't say that about other certain people.

[gun_cata]

"But I do sometimes, huh?"

[loveswaffles]

"It's not really all that difficult. Besides, it's just part of being roommates."

[gun_cata]

"Yeah. Ha, yeah... it sure is."
