mythkillers-blog said: Good morning sweetheart! (for f!zoe and f!tori and also for ophelia & eloi)

Zoe & Tori ;

              “ Mmph. Hiya. “

She only looks moderately grumpy- of course, she used to wake up every morning with a nice cup of ice water thrown on her bed, so. Just about anything else is a step up, to be perfectly honest. Rubbing her eyes, then blinking, she looks over at Zoe.

               “ Either you tell me there’s breakfast or you get over here and be my pillow. “

Ophelia & Eloi ;

He may have fallen asleep in one of the booths, and he may be hanging off of the side… which may result in him hitting his head on the table as he jerks awake. Whoops. 

             “ Migh’ as well rent out the apartment… “

Sitting up, he looks at her and gives a sleepy grin, before patting the spot next to him for her to sit down. If he wasn’t unsure of how she’d react, he’d probably rest his head on her shoulder, but he decides against it.

              “ G’mornin’, cher. “

( he’ll doubt that response, if it’s all the same to you ;

        feel a little guilty, too. but he was/is running on fumes, so. )

( give ‘im a minute. )

( and, there we are.

       blink, blink. yawn.

              a little jump once he realizes who’s there. )
