Snowman Making? [Ian]

[Shelby Chou]

[[this is so interesting. haha.]]

After I clean them all, I start coating them with butter, then place them in a huge cookie sheet. "Alright, now put this in the oven." I say handing it to him.

[Ian Hunt]

[ooc-lmao, i wish i knew how to cook. haha.]

I take the tray from her, putting it into the oven, "Well, that was...interesting."

[Shelby Chou]

I laugh. "It's not fully done yet." I say to him. "We still have to do all the seasoning and breading stuff." I say leaning on the counter.

[Ian Hunt]

"What? Why?" I shake my head bemusedly, "I don't get any of this."

[Shelby Chou]

I laugh. "Cause that's how you cook chicken. Well, one way at least." I say with a smile. I walk over and set the timer for about 5 minutes. "There, we wait." I say going back to the counter.

[[haha, I had to cook this a couple nights ago. ;D ]]

[Ian Hunt]

"Where do people learn to do this?" I laugh slighly.

[ooc-oh wow. i burn things when i cook. xD ]

[Shelby Chou]

"TV, cookbooks, family, friends..." I say with a smile. The bell rings, so I go over to take them out of the oven. "Okay, so take this breading and make sure each piece is covered completely." I say handing him a huge can of seasoned breading.

[[well, I helped. Usually I do too. lol]]

[Ian Hunt]

I raise an eyebrow at her, but start to cover the chicken in the breading.

[ooc-lol. usually i get my sister to cook for me. haha. but my uncle is staying with us for christmas so he's cooking at the moment. it's great. lol.]

[Shelby Chou]

"You do know what a tv is right?" I ask as I start cooking the rice on the stove top.

[[nice. My parents probably could have been chefs if they wanted. lol]]

[Ian Hunt]

"The muggle box thing, right?" I ask, turning to glance at her briefly before carrying on with what I was doing.

[ooc-lol, lucky you. my mum never bothered. just let us get on with it. haha.]

[Shelby Chou]

"That's right." I say with a smile as I continue with the rice. I look over at his job. "Okay, you can put them back in the oven for 30 minutes." I say moving so he could place them in.

[[sorry about that. my parents are strict though.]]

[Ian Hunt]

"Right," I say, putting them back in the oven.

[ooc-lol, no need to be sorry, we were better off that way cos otherwise we'd have no idea how to fend for ourselves now. strict in a bearable or unbearable way?]

[Shelby Chou]

I stand there stirring the rice. "So, anything you're thinking about?" I glance over at him.

[[sorta bearable. my curfew is 1. Won't let my friends over, and I have to tell them everything I'm doing even if it's taking a shower.]]

[Ian Hunt]

"Not much really. You?"

[ooc-ah, doesn't sound too bad. could be worse.]

[Shelby Chou]

I smile at him for a bit. "No, not really." I lie, not wanting to tell him. Since it did involve him.

I look back at the rice and decided it was finished. "Okay, so I'm gonna put the rice onto plates now, and you set it afterwards." I say to him, trying to avoid his eyes.

[[drama. teehee. It was in high school. My curfew as a senior was earlier, but i didn't follow it. haha. ]]

[Ian Hunt]

I frown slightly, noticing her reluctance to meet my eyes, but don't comment on it...yet, "Okay then."

[ooc-haha, you rebel. lol.]

[Shelby Chou]

I start putting a spoonful of rice on each plate, and handing him the plate. "Alright, the table in the dining room." I say looking at the timer, instead of him.

[[not really. lol]]

[Ian Hunt]

I take a couple of plates into the dining room, but pause when I come back and she still doesn't look at me, "Shell? Something wrong?"

[Shelby Chou]

I look up slightly, from the rice. "No. Nothing." I lie again.

[[[haha, i've having fun. I have to eat dinner now. but it won't take long.]]

[Ian Hunt]

"You sure?" I ask.

[ooc-lol okay. tis sort of late so i'll be signing off soon.]

[Shelby Chou]

I sigh, finally looking up at him. "You're not gonna like it." I say.

[[that's right, you and you're lateness... sighs. lol]]

[Ian Hunt]

"Tell me anyway," I nod.

[ooc-lol ]

[Shelby Chou]

I sigh slightly. "For some reason the thought of if we ever dated what would have happened..." I trail off, just looking at him.


[[yes, I'm bored. random question of the year. lol]]

[Ian Hunt]

I pause, slightly surprised, "Well, guess I've thought about it too before," I shrug, "Impossible to say really."

[ooc-lol, how can you be bored!? tis christmas eve!]

[Shelby Chou]

I nod my head a little and go back to putting chicken on the plates without a word.

[[cause my parents are wrapping the presents right now, so they have practically banned me from the house until they're done which can be who knows. sighs.]]

[Ian Hunt]

I stay still wondering if I should say something else for a minute or so, then pick up another couple of plates and carry them into the other room.

[ooc- ooh, not fun.]

[Shelby Chou]

I look up once he leaves with some plates. I place the rest of them on the plates and go back to the rice.

[[yeah, they don't know when they'll get done... so annoyed cause i want to watch tv. lol]]

[Ian Hunt]

"Things are gonna be awkward for a moment then, huh?" I ask, after taking the last couple of plates into the other room.

[ooc-lol. how inconsiderate of them. lol.]

[Shelby Chou]

"Yeah, just a bit. But I had to say it. It's been in the back of my mind for years." I say honestly.

[]

[Ian Hunt]

"Been that long?" I murmur, although I know exactly how long it's been. There's no denying I wondered occasionally.

[ooc-haha! wow, that's sort of funny. lol. sorry.]
