Title: The Perils of Domesticity
Rating: G
Prompt: #4 Food
Summary: Lark and Crane share... um, food?
Warnings: None
Notes: Also written as part of my five-sentence L/C/R series Roll Away Your Stone and crossposted to FFN. I have this headcanon that Rosethorn is a passable-to-great cook (haven't decided yet).

The Perils of Domesticity

"Rosethorn sends her love," said Crane incredulously.

"Well, I believe her exact words were, 'Tell that idiot Crane that eating and sleeping are not optional activities, unless he wants to pay an extended visit to Water', but I think we can read between the lines," said Lark, with a smile.

"I made some of her leek-and-carrot soup and flaxseed rolls - don't fret, I got Comas and Evvy to help, or we'd all have ended up at the healers'," she added, offering him a bowl.

"How are they, and how are you?" he asked, between bites. "Raising four energetic child-mages alone is not an enviable task; tell me if you need any help - as long as it does not involve actual interaction with them," he added hastily.

That ending actually made me laugh out loud. It is perfect characterization for Crane!

These are always so freaking sweet; you're turning me into a Lark/Crane shipper. You know, I cannot possibly have the time for another ship. whyyyy.

Rosethorn's actual message, Lark's re-wording of it, and Crane's incredulity that Rosethorn would have said something so nice was possibly the most perfect illustration of their dynamic I have ever seen.

Oh, what a lovely comment to wake up to - thank you!
I'm updating this at FFN too, if you're interested (a couple of chapters weren't written for the MPP, so I didn't post them here).

Mwahaha. I don't actually ship them, but I do like to think they have a strong friendship after so many years, particularly in my headcanon where they knew each other before the Circle came along.

It's so weird, I started off thinking they'd barely even interact in this series and it turned into this.
