Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I don't know... I've too much blood in my stomach and not in my brain to think of anything but chicken and cake... Oh!" Nyx looked excited, "Chicken pot pie! We should make that some time!" It was the perfect mix of baking and meat.

Nyx sat up in her chair and covered her mouth briefly and then sighed. it seemed she was maybe trying to be a tad bit more polite. "I wish we didn't have to go back to work. I would rather sleep now..." A textbook case of 'food coma', emphasized with a stifled yawn. Though a good amount of her sudden tiredness was easily explained by the fact that it was quite late and she hadn't slept for almost twenty four hours now.

Nyx stifled another small yawn and leaned back in her chair. "Yes. Oh! I almost forgot about that. Your arm is healed now, too, I think I owe you swim lessons." All that had to be arranged was the when, but that was always the hardest part. Though, she wouldn't admit it, she was actually looking forward to their swimming foray; Rational Nyx would claim it was to laugh at how badly Mau swam and how silly he'd look.

"I'm glad I finally got the cast off, I'm back working and not going crazy... And now I get to tease Allen again." Nyx chuckled quietly.

"Ha. I broke his favorite coffee mug the other evening. I had good reason to! But he didn't think so... It almost made the situation better seeing him so flustered." Nyx frowned momentarily, but she was in too good of a mood to be upset about the past situation. "Allen was pestering Miss Nadja about one of the experiments that had been not doing anything wrong, and then we heard Seth in the room with her too. So..." She smiled, "I reached over and knocked Allen's mug off of the counter and tried to convince Miss Nadja that there'd been a terrible accident... but she didn't believe me. She even said that I am a terrible actor!" Nyx crossed her arms and pouted at Mau.

Nyx grinned and laughed a mischievous little laugh. "Oh yes. He whined and sulked for an hour. But then he remembered how much he dislikes Seth and started on that rant."

She was unaware of the fact, but Newton was also fond of messing with the storm cloud of a man, and would leave jammy 'presents' hidden in his coat pockets and various belongings.

The small woman yawned again and stretched her arms out above her head. Since when were the kitchen chairs so comfortable? Or chatting with her greatest rival so... not... terrible?

Nyx ran a hand through her fluffy hair before taking Mau's hand with her other to help her down from her chair. "You're right... We're more likely to muck it up more like this." She must have been half asleep already, since she'd made no comment about Mau's gentlemanly manner.

"Bed sounds wonderful... Like I haven't been in ages... If only I'd managed to steal your sheet." She grinned sleepily.

"Pft." Nyx scoffed, "I don't have Santa's address, silly..." It was, of course, not the ridiculous thought of Santa being real, an adult writing Santa a letter, or Santa bringing an agent of Team Rocket anything but coal that she spurned, but her lack of ability to contact the jolly red man.

"That wouldn't be hard to prove. Poor old man. Two plus two is four and we're better scientists than him." She smiled at Mau and swiped the keycard to open her door. "Good night, Mau."

Nyx had woken up fairly early for someone who'd been up into the wee hours of the night, and not because she had to fight for control of the bed from her various pokemon. She'd gotten it in her head, either from the poisoned food or some dream invaders planting the idea while she slept, that she wanted to thank Mau for dinner. That, or, she reasoned with herself, she just wanted cake for breakfast and Mau happened to be in an area where there would also be this cake.

Either way, she spent the first hour or so of her morning baking a red velvet cake covering it with cream cheese icing. The only way to start a sugar high day.

"Mau? What are you doing?" Nyx 'hovered' over Mau with her gratitude baked good, Why was he still tired? There was no way he would have lied and not gone to bed. But pretty much all of their work was finished... did he do it in the hour she'd taken in the kitchen?
