(Almost) Everything Is Comin' Up Chase [closed post]

[summerdude]

Magnus, triumphant, has finally managed to make some old bamboo sprout. With Drosera fed recently enough that she's not complaining of hunger and resting in her new favorite perch (lounging on his shoulder tucked right against his neck, her beak tangled in hair that is once again getting long), he sneaks it into the Mansion, hides it in a large gift-bag a closet gives him, and hangs it on Claudius and Galahad's doorknob with a quickly-jotted note that reads Claudius, What next? - MAGNUS CHASE.

Then, since he's already inside, he figures, why not wander around until he finds someone to talk to?

Galahad hands him the bowl with the egg yolks. "Add one at a time."

Magnus tips the first yolk in, still pouting, mostly because he thinks it's a funny bit. "Not even one little egg?"

[onthewillowsthere]

Ah, joke! He arranges his face into the sternest expression he can make, which is probably not so different from his default blank one, and says, "No."

Magnus feels his back straighten despite himself, and he reacts by giving Galahad a hangdog sort of expression before tipping the next yolk in. "Fiiiiiiiiiiiine."

Galahad stands a bit taller and folds his arms as his hands were tucked into his sleeves, and gives Magnus his best Lan Wangji. Since this is, in essence, his normal blank expression, there is no reason for Magnus to clock it other than everything he knows about both of them.

So of course Magnus does clock it, and he doubles over laughing. "Dude, if there's another talent show, you should totally do impressions," he says, meaning every word of it.

"You and Claudius are the only people who would like it."

"Fuck the haters," Magnus says, peaceably, and adds the final egg yolk. "You'd make a killing in the mountain jotunn bowling alley with those impressions."

"I have the best vibes," he agrees peaceably.

"Obviously." Magnus peers at the dough. "What next?"
