Every now and again I see people curious to learn some hand to hand--or hell, some weapons--fighting. I'm offering to teach, assuming you're up to the task. I'll tell you now, not everyone will be.

[Admittedly he hesitated to put Barbara on the filter but logic wins out in the end.]
So what've you two put together about the Barge's engines? Need to bounce a few ideas at you.

Lucky for you and that bedspread, I've got real steady hands. We could risk red wine or chocolate pudding.
[He's on the verge of asking Barbara if she, too, needs hand feeding...but he stops himself when he realizes what he was about to say.]

[Unrepentant. Iris could use some spoiling.]
Re: [filtered Cain/Babs]
Date: 2014-03-29 08:11 pm (UTC)I'll make you up some magic soup, my own recipe. It'll have you on your feet in no time.

Date: 2014-03-29 08:44 pm (UTC)Sure thing. Make sure to look weak as a kitten when I get there, you hear?

And then suddenly she's small, and frail and old and hurting. Although a little theatrically.]
...Please sir, just a little soup first?

Date: 2014-04-03 09:24 pm (UTC)I can't have you starve. On my way, right this second.
[And when the soup is ladled out (two bowls: one for Iris, one for Barbara) he drops the one off for Babs and heads in to see Iris.]

She lets herself be fed, pliant and contented. I could get used to this, she wants to say, and then doesn't; it's a wonderful feeling to be looked after, but she knows herself better than to think she could take it except in very small doses on special occasions. So she picks on a lesser, truer thing to say instead.]
...This soup's bloody amazing. What's in it?
[Spam]
Date: 2014-04-07 02:41 am (UTC)Garlic, chicken broth, more garlic, some whiskey and honey, a touch of lemon, some hot peppers to clear your sinuses.
[He's actually enjoying this. But, like her, its a small-dose thing: he doesn't have the temperament to be nurturing for very long.]
