Goodies for Practice (Josh/Lance/Genevieve/open)

[Lance Jordan]

Lance had paused to talk to the captain about something before he managed to race after the direction Josh had dissapeared to. He didn't really need to talk to the captain but he'd wanted to give his brother a chance to talk to Eve, and he was also scanning the pitch looking to see if Genevieve had been there somewhere hopeful, but he didn't see her and went to fly over to Eve and Josh. He did a little spiral flip on the way there on his broom, he couldn't help but enjoy flying.

As he flew closer he landed next to them, "oooh cookies!" Lance absolutely loved homemade Eve cookies and reached for one. "So is our dear Joshy safe and uninjured this time?" He chuckled and teased because he knew how Eve was about injuries to either of them. She always had to check them over when one of them had even remotely gotten brushed or hit by anything. And he loved her for it too.

[Eve Mallory]

"Oh hush you and no teasing me." she narrowed her eyes and was tempted to take away his cookie, " Don't think I didn't see that nose dive earlier, you could have been really hurt Lance!" she griped at him because it was her job and because she was worried "Don't you both know how lost I would be if I ever lost either one of you?" she asked in a hopelessly small voice before she sighed.

[Lance Jordan]

Lance spread his hands in a gesture of submission to her probing, he knew it was best to just let her inspect him quickly and then he could get back to his cookie.. it was still warm and gooey. "Yeah but the buldger didn't get me! I thought you'd be at least happy about that part." He was trying to distract her from the fact that he had almost run into one of the pillars but only because of his speed and that bludger that had been chasing him. It had been the best way to get rid of it, even if it had been a dangerous move. "mmm I love your cookies Eve..."

[Josh Jordan]

Josh grinned. "That was a great dive though Lance. I have to hand that one to you. See, if we didn't have such suicidal tendencies, as you put it, we would be getting hit with the bludger more than we do now! So, what we do is necessary. And don't worry Eva, you're not going to lose us anytime soon. For once, we know exactly what we're doing."

He gave her a wink before turning to look at Lance. "Exactly! Her cookies are the best. Too bad I can't cook. Oh, last time I attempted to cook cookies, well, it didn't end to well. That's why I'm glad that we have Eva, well, one of the reasons anyway."

[Lance Jordan]

Lance laughed in agreement "one of the many reasons" he confirmed. "Heh the last time you tried to cook them you almost blew up the house, mom was furious with you too." Lance purposely left out his own part in the cooking disaster but he was actually an okay cook as long as you didn't want anything too fancy. And he hadn't thought that double chocolate peanutbutter pumpkin cookies would have been that bad of a combination but apparently it hadn't been a smart idea by them to try. The peanut butter had ended up everywhere. He wondered idly if Geneveive could cook, though he doubted anyone could cook like Eve... she was really good at it.

[Eve Mallory]

Eve, had to learn to cook after her mother died and s he wasn't without her fair share of mess while younger but she was happily proficient now. She inspected Lance but shook her head, " Yes, I'm happy you two are safe." she sighed and squeezed Lance's hand, she'd never forgive herself if anything ever happened to either of them. But now the mood was somewhat dour and she decided to lift it with her presents.

"Alright." she clapped, " Now I have something for you both." she smiled and reached where her things were to pull out matching bags with tissue paper coming from them, inside were the boy's handmade scarves with their initials on them.

[Josh Jordan]

Josh's eyes lit up more as he saw the bag. A grin that nearly spread from ear to ear. He took the bag thankfully. Taking out the paper and his hands landed on the scarf. He pulled it out of his bag and admired it. Eve had even put his initials on it. Josh was in slight awe at the craftsmanship of the scarf. He would wear it everyday during the winter.

He stood up, placing it gently on the bench and picked Eve up. Josh wrapped his arms around her and hugged her. He spun her around once, before planting a kiss on her cheek. "Thank you! I love it!" He would definitely cherish his scarf.

[Eve Mallory]

She laughed spinning around and it was times like that that she wished he would never put her down her arms reaching around his neck she held on tightly. When he kissed her cheek she had accidentially turned her face slightly so he ended up kissing the corner of her mouth, she was a bit stunned but shook it off, he had meant to kiss her cheek like always, she nodded to him shaking out of it again "You're welcome" she said when he did finally put her down she checked for Lance's reaction hoping he liked his just as much.

[Lance Jordan]

Lance was still finishing his cookie when Josh opened his gift like an eager puppy and then sweeping up Eve in his arms and kissing her. Lance felt a tiny nudge of envy but it dissipated just as quickly. He knew by experience that his gift would be the same but he was still happy she had thought to make him one too. As he swallowed the last piece of cookie he reached over kissed her other cheek before saying, "thank you for the cookie, those are my favorite kind." before reaching over to open the bag he'd set down for a moment.

He liked gifts but it was more fun watching Josh open them, they'd always been that way during gifts. Josh was always the one to tear into the gift while Lance took his time to savor them. He liked gifts just as much but he liked to make it last longer.

Lance opened the bag and pulled out a scarf with his initials on it... "hey my initials aren't JJ.. they're LJ" .... he waited till he got a reaction out of her before hugging her.. "I'm just kidding it has L J on it.. hehe"

[Eve Mallory]

Eve blushed profoundly and reached for the scarf to see if she had made a mistake the worry crinkled in her eyes and she lost her breath, "I'm so sor-" she saw that it was indeed LJ and tossed the thing back at him while crossing her arms over her chest, "Not funny, you know how clumsy I can be." she wasn't anything of the sort, in fact she was meticulous when it came to the boys but she did worry. She would have been mortified if she had hurt Josh or Lance in any way.

[Lance Jordan]

Lance hugged her.. "heh sorry I couldn't resist." He wondered if she had caught the real joke though, but she'd probably missed it completely. He'd been teasing her about making both scarves with Josh's initials but he just continued chuckling. "I do like it.. I love it. I can't wait till I can wear it every day this winter." He looked up to see Josh half laughing and covering it up.

[Eve Mallory]

She had caught that he was joking with her, but what he probably knew only she didn't know he knew was that she could have done that very thing mindlessly with how often she thought about Josh especially recently with all the changes going on between the four of them. She blushed, she would have hated for Lance to think that she cared about Josh more because it wasn't like that, she had known them both for forever and she loved them both dearly, she just wasn't sure where she stood with Josh, while Lance, well she didn't seem to have any problems with him.

[Josh Jordan]

Josh smiled and shook his head at Lance. "I'll also wear my scarf everyday of winter. I needed a new one. Thank you Eva." He kissed her temple and looked between the two of them. It was just like old times and it was always entertaining to say the least. Never a dull moment.

"I would wear it right now, but I don't want to get sweat and whatnot all over it. You, on the other hand, I don't mind getting close to even if I am sweaty." He flashed her a playful grin. Josh reached over and ruffled her hair to mess with her, but took a step back. Last time he did that, well, Josh met the ground.

[Eve Mallory]

She didn't beat him down this time for ruffling her hair, it was the kiss that stunned her, was it her or had he been doing that more often lately? It was strange to her, but her hair rumpled she remembered her annoyance and tried to fix it. She needed to get her hair cut, at the moment it was simply too long and in need of therapy. She used to have beautiful hair, now she mostly had to keep it back, she tried smoothing it out and then glared at Josh. " You try brushing this mess and then we'll see how much you like it getting tangled." she told him.

[Lance Jordan]

Lance reached onto the plate that held the cookies while Josh and Eve were distracted. He was a bit dissapointed that Genevieve hadn't come to watch practice today but she had probably gotten lost or distracted by something. He didn't mind her getting distracted as much as she did, but he did miss seeing her today. He wondered vaguely what she was doing. Probably chasing after some ghost or playing with some animal at Hagrid's or.. chasing a butterfly he thought ruefully.

He sat down with his cookie and leaned back in the bench, half watching his brother and Eve and half in his own thoughts.

[Eve Mallory]

She finished fixing her hair and sighed once more, if only she had an inkling of what to do wtih the mess, oh well, maybe she'd get it cut in hogsmeade. That would be different, Merlin knew she needed one. She glanced back at Lance, "So what else besides cookies?" she asked, " I've been doing cookies for a while, but I was thinking I should bring you guys something else something more substancial like sandwiches or something..."

[Josh Jordan]

"I'll brush your hair when we get back to the common room," said Josh to Eve. He took a seat next to her after he figured that it was safe. He didn't want her to end up attacking him, although in a way he wouldn't have minded it at all.

"Oh! I love brownies! Brownies with milk!" Brownies and warm cookies were Josh's number one weakness when it came to food. Josh was smiling. "But if you mean sandwiches, I like just about anything. You know what I like, and that's just about everything you make."

[Eve Mallory]

She smiled back at him, she knew he liked brownies and milk and so she saved that for special occasions.

Putting a finger to the corner of her mouth she tapped her chin gently in thought, " Maybe something warm...cold weather's upon us...I could have soup for you guys after practice, except you're usually warm right after you practice." contrary to Eve who had to wear layers upon layers so that she wouldn't freeze to death, even now her nose was red with the cold but she didn't complain.

[Josh Jordan]

"Soup?! Yes! I've been craving your soup for the longest!" Eve's cooking was excellent. It was right up there with his mother's, and her cooking was great. Josh gave Eve a hug from the side. "You're too good to us, you know that?" He noticed that her nose was red. Of course, he knew that that was a sign of her being cold.

"Here, take this," said Josh taking off his top cloak. He was warm enough, and he had on a few more layers on underneath. He put his cloak around her shoulders so she couldn't really protest about it.

[Eve Mallory]

She grinned up at him always eager to hear his praise, " Thank you." she said holding his top cloak around her shoulders, sheknew protesting would be useless and so she accepted his offer graciously and leaned in closer to him to absorb some of his warmth, although the top robe he put on her was warm as well.
