“Hey hon.”
Yeah, you definitely wouldn’t make it back before snowfall. Maybe you can visit in the spring, though.
“By that time I’ll probably have forgotten, or gotten busy.”
I might be able to remind you. You could also visit and come back when the ice melts if you’re willing to visit for that long.
She looked at him sceptically. “You want me sane, right? After that long with my mother, I’ll be a psychopath.”
muahaha*cough*

“Hey hon.”
How long did you say it would take you to get there last time I asked? A few days, right?
“Yeah. A couple days there, a couple days back, and that doesn’t include the time /spent/ there, and my mother would be unhappy if I didn’t stay at least a week.”

I’m always a bit busier this time of year, but it’s not too bad so far, he shrugged. How have you been, besides getting sick?
“It’s not so bad, other than that. I’ve been thinking about making a trip home, but the cold weather crept up on me, and I don’t think I can make it there and back before the snowfalls.”

Merlin grimaced in sympathy. Yeah, a cold’s been going around the castle lately. Do you want me to see if Gaius has anything that could help?
“Not right now. I’m hoping that if I just drink a lot of water it will go away. How about you? Busy, then?”

“Hey hon.”
How are you?
“I think I’m starting a cold,” she said slightly sulkily. “I’ve got the worst headache.”

“Mmmph?” Summer made a sleepy, mumbling groan, and flopped over to the other side of the bed. Then she jerked, and yelped, “Your feet are /cold/! GAH!” She shoved a pillow at Merlin. “Get those off me! What are you doing anyway?”
“Hey hon.”

What’s that? o.o
Madmen engineers (I think there’s a Tony Stark fic about this, come to think of it) build machines to see who can hurl an intact pumpkin the farthest. They’re grouped by how they’re powered, i.e. trebuchet, air cannon, spinning, etc. A pumpkin that explodes before impact with the ground is considered pied.
It’s AWESOME.
