What: Dhaos' mallynap effect wears off. Uh-oh.
When: Morning of the ninth!
Where: House 34
Summary: Dhaos' kidnapping effect wears off, transforming him from a child into an adult. This, unfortunately, places him in a rather compromising situation. Grune's not helping.
Rating: ...PG >>;

The day before, Grune had invited the young Dhaos to sleep in her bed with her. Though rather reluctant to do so given that they had not known each other very long (and sharing a bed was for babies), the prince was, for one, not accustomed to sleeping on the couch, and for another, rather lonely and taken with Miss Grune. So eventually he agreed.

Unfortunately, Dhaos' kidnapping effect chose that night to wear off, and he is now lying in bed, next to Grune, stark naked.

Better hope he wakes up first.

[Her head turns to follow Norma.]

Wha -- ? [...Fast retreat there. She's about to turn back to Dhaos when it finally clicks that she had been pretty much staring at Dhaos. She ought to fix that, and does so by putting her face in her hands.]

No, Grune.

[Wait. The way Dhaos said that implies that he was in Grune's room. She looks up quickly.] What a -- ?! [...Okay, looking up is a bad idea. Returning to initial state. She doesn't finish her question, though, as she remembers waking up in someone else's bed when she stopped being bitty herself.]

[This is Grune, not listening to you, Dhaos.] Oh, all right.

I wonder if Walter has anything Dhaos can borrow. [And she...starts heading in the direction of his room. Unless Fenimore and Dhaos want Wally to have one hell of a wake-up, they might want to put a stop to that.]

[That is... also not good. If Dhaos remembers Walter properly (he was probably a bit shorter than in Dhaos' memories, but besides that) the young man is unlikely to want to be woken up in such a manner. Especially with Dhaos in the house like this. Grune, why could you not have kept your little streak of being bizarrely cooperative?

Dhaos raises his voice a little. For once.]

Grune, please go back inside.

[He's not manhandling a woman, though. Especially not wearing... this. Hopefully Fenimore is thinking the same thing he is.]

[Hey, she's still trying not to survey this scene! So she has no idea that Grune is actually moving in Walter's direction and her reaction is to provide a somewhat lackluster:] No, Grune, he won't. No one is going to have anything he can borrow.

[She presumes, though possibly wrongly, that that will be enough to deter Grune. She's a little too lost in her own embarrassed recollections to really think about it.]

[Grune pauses, her hand on the doorknob of Walter's room.]

Do you think so? [She isn't keeping her voice down. Everyone is awake right now, aren't they?]

[...Well, at least she stopped.]

Indeed we do. [Since Fenimore isn't, Dhaos will... stroll over and gently try to steer Grune away. He doesn't do anything about the volume of her voice-- as long as Grune didn't go into Walter's room, he wouldn't have any decent reason to get upset.

...Hopefully.]

[Walter is a fairly light sleeper; one has to be when you spend so much time sleeping out in the wilderness and survive on your own. He had done his best ignoring whatever was going on in the room right next to his, which was at least somewhat possible because he didn't happen to sleep right next to the wall.

The conversation moving out of the wall and right in front of his door is pretty difficult to ignore, however.

At least it's not hellishly early in the morning. But that's probably the only good thing as he opens the door, fairly put together with his pants and shirt and even shoes.

He stares. For just a moment.]

What is going on here?

[As Fenimore looks up, she can take small comfort in the fact that Walter is dressed. Two men largely undressed would be too much, however cute Walter might be. ...That is neither here nor there.

It probably falls on her to explain, doesn't it. Grune will probably not explain well and she would be surprised if Dhaos's attempt began with stony silence. Even if she didn't feel very explainy right now, either, she is probably the best they've got for at least as long as Norma has absconded.]

...Hi, Walter. This is Dhaos. Dhaos, Walter. [They probably have at least seen each other while bittified Dhaos has been staying over, but she suspects that they haven't met big. ...Really big, in Dhaos's case.

She leaves it at that for now in the hopes that that would go a long way in filling in the missing parts.]

Edited 2011-08-20 05:42 (UTC)

[Oh, now she can ask her question! While being barely dressed have fun deciding where to look, Walter.]

Walter, do you have any clothes that Dhaos can borrow?

[You know, that guy who's a solid foot taller than you?]

[...Dhaos is now surrounded by people probably less than half his age. Or a quarter his age, for that matter. Possibly a tenth. There's no where to go or look without having to meet someone's awkward gaze, so clearly the thing to do here is to just close his eyes altogether.

Dhaos is quite sure Walter has absolutely nothing positive to contribute to this situation, but he's also feeling much less inclined to speak than usual. He assumes that Walter has had experience with Grune's... eccentricity, and is under the impression that he'll be able to figure out what's going on based on what Fenimore has already said. So, unfortunately, he decides to let this particular line of questioning run its course.

He can't see how this could possibly get any more awkward.]

Edited 2011-08-20 22:26 (UTC)

[He twitches--his brow, a few fingers--as he hears Fenimore and Grune talk. Grune and the ridiculously-tall man (is that supposed to be the kid he saw before?) did not look presentable... Ugh. It was too early for this.]

Of course not. How can you-- [How can you even think that would work?] It's-- Why would I?

[She facepalms, but with only one hand this time. That went...about as she expected. Grune being no help, Dhaos being silent, and Walter getting annoyed. To Walter:] ...It's best not to think about that too hard. She asked me if I had any clothes for him, too.

[She doesn't turn to face her as she shakes her head, but the next portion gets addressed to Grune.] There aren't going to be any clothes for Dhaos here, Grune. Norma will be back with something. [...Probably. Norma said it very fast, so she's not entirely sure that's what she said.]

[Grune tilts her head slightly and looks first at Walter and Fenimore before her gaze comes to rest on Dhaos. She doesn't so much as blink at the large amount of man in the small amount of bathrobe.]

Oh, do you think so?

[Speak of the devil and she will arrive. Honestly, Norma had purposely taken her sweet time in meandering her way to the clothing store. She really, really didn't want to be in that awkward situation a second longer. Plus, with all the noise, it'd only be a matter of time before Walter woke up and hoo, boy, Norma did not what to deal with that mess even more than the one she was already in.

But as she sneaks in through the open door, looking left and right cautiously, it can be seen that she has a bag hanging off one arm. The clothes should be able to properly fit a giraffe like Little D, or so Norma hoped. And she neven tried to get something neutral, casual, but comfortable, too. Isn't she such a wonderful person?]

These better fit, cuz I'm not going anywhere again... H-Helloooo? Is it safe to come in?

She tends to do such things. [Yes, the tiny child is now a full foot taller than you. Yes, Grune continues to reinforce the theory that she does not understand the function of clothes. Thanks, Fenimore. And no thanks, Grune and Walter. You two are extremely unhelpful and only serve to make this situation worse. And he's still not looking. Not looking. Not looking. Are you looking at him, Grune? Well, he's not looking.

Until Norma returns, at least. Then Dhaos opens his eyes.]

Give those to me. [NOW. Before something else threatens to destroy Dhaos' dignity.]

[And there was the squeaky-voiced Orerines. Wonderful. It was a damn party now.]

Clear out. This hallway is cramped enough without everyone right here.

[He would probably make some arm gestures if not for the fact that Grune was right in front of him and he'd probably end up smacking that rack of hers.]

[Fenimore just shrugs and obeys, which is made fairly easy by the fact that she's the smallest person here and on the outer edge of the little crowd. Even if Norma approaches in the meantime, there should be plenty of room for her to back along the wall away from Walter's room.]

Hmm. All right.

[Of course, to clear out, Grune decides to squeeze between Norma and Dhaos. Have fun with the sudden closeness, you two!

…And then, naturally, she only wanders so far before coming to a gentle halt.]

[DHVJFRG--LITTLE D, YOU HUGE JERK, NORMA'S EYES WERE OPEN! M-My innocence...again. She squawks, hurls the clothes in his direction (or at his face, whichever is closer), then scuttles along the wall like a crab, eyes shut tight. She doesn't care who or what she bumps into anymore, just so long as she makes it into another room or area that isn't inhabited by a towering, half naked man.]

Jeez, have you all just been standing here while I was gone?! What were you doing, shooting the breeze or something?! Find a room to have your little party! I already saw more than I wanted to see of a guy in my lifetime! Go get dressed already! And stay outta my room!

[Good choice there, Walter. Nude or not, Dhaos would have to smack you if you touched Grune's rack. Unfortunately, Dhaos is now the one likely to unintentionally touch Grune's rack, and he attempts to back away hastily. Has this woman no sense of personal space?

...Don't answer that.

Dhaos' face is a little too high off the ground for that, but he catches the bag anyway as it is thrown at him. Geez, Norma, so violent.]

No one is forcing you to look, and I have no reason to be in your room.

[He'd make his way to where he knows the bathroom is, but Grune is still in the way. Um.]

[Walter shakes his head as the crowd slowly parts; they were only missing Sophie and Stella to have the entire house crammed in that small hallway. He edges his way out of the hall, giving Dhaos a weird look (how the heck does someone grow that tall?) before heading for the door.

He doesn't bother saying that he's going outside. The house was too noisy for his tastes this morning.]

[She's just going to keep sliding away until she can find a room where she is out of this kerfluffle. The first to come along is the kitchen, so even if that's not entirely separate from the rest of the house, she'll take it.

...Oh hey, unsupervised strawberries. No one's going to miss one or two, right?]

[After a moment, Grune finally gets out of Dhaos' way and ambles back into her room. However, not too much later, she comes out again.]

...Did Dhaos go somewhere?

Fenimore will drink in the safety of her own room, stigmas against drinking alone be damned.

And then Grune will cheerfully hand out hangover cures in the morning (once someone explains)!

Dhaos would be loooong gone by then. ...Unless he passed out on the couch or something.

Suddenly House 34 is strewn awkwardly with drunks.

That's one way to interior decorate?

Considering Dhaos practically wears his curtains? Yep!
