Fateful Convergence

Both curious and cautious at the same time, Hayley cut herself a small slice and popped the lasagna into her mouth, humming with pleasant surprise as the savory and salty flavor burst inside her mouth. "I sure hope my boyfriend don't start asking me to make one of these everyday... It's really good! I gotta hand it down to you, Sarah. You really know your stuff!" Hayley began to wander how Isaac would respond to this new recipe she had just acquired and was filled with excitement and eagerness to try it out herself, given the flavorful result.

Hayley: Nothing important. I just tried to get under crazy Howland's skin, that's all.

What are you up to? :3

Fateful Convergence

Acting as if she was giving her suggestion a thorough thought, Hayley shrugged and, giving Sarah, an amused gaze casually replied, "Eh, he can wait. I might as well give it a try and memorize the flavor so when I try it myself, I know when I mess up badly, which I most likely will." She couldn't help but feel a small measure of delight in their improving first encounter, hiccups aside, and said to her, "I can smell it from here and, sorry if I sound rude, I can see why your boyfriend and your brother, given what he said, dig your lasagna. I would be lying if I said I don't want a slice of that!"

Arlia: *Swoons over the angry Nigel*

Eryn: *Eeps and backs away, slowly*

Fateful Convergence

It looks like tiny, lean broccoli, but it's actually a Broccoli-Chinese Kale hybrid. :)



Good to hear that. Also...

Hayley: Who's the little cute bastard killer? Oh yes, you are~!

Fateful Convergence

"Aww, that's just cute," Hayley replied with a teasing chuckle. "Hey, now. I wouldn't mind hearing you rambling as long as it keeps you happy. You seem to adore your brother very much. That, in itself, isn't a bad thing." Although Hayley definitely loathed the elder Howland, she felt that their 'arguments' and personal life were best kept separate. She wasn't so cruel as to break what happy solace he had with Sarah and the younger Howland had proven to be a gracious host so far. "Thanks again for having me here and thanks again for the lasagna recipe. I'd give it a go at some near future and hope that I don't end up burning down my kitchen. Wish me luck~!" she said in jest, grinning softly as she saw Sarah's happy smile.

"Again, not your fault. I didn't know Nigel Howland is your brother." I did suspect that's the case, but it's not like I'm going to say that to your face, Hayley said to herself mentally, sighing and adding, "Our first meeting wasn't a very nice one. We had an argument, so to speak, and it sorta came down on its own. At least he seems to be doing just fine." Mulling over what happened and how quickly Nigel avoided a confrontation, she realized that the serious and dedicated killer did have a loved one of his own. In a way, she finally found a part of him she could sympathize with. "He seems really protective of you, though. I could only wish for a brother like him. Not that I'm complaining about being an only child, but it's nice to know that he cares for your well-being."

Good, thanks. Just about to heat up my beef and broccolini soup for dinner. :)

You?

Also, the awkwardness is over 9000!!

Fateful Convergence

Hayley's entire body tensed when the familiar voice came towards them and, sure enough, she looked face to face at her new enemy and the man who nearly killed her and Isaac. She hadn't forgiven him for what he did to both of them, but took a silent pleasure in the knowledge that her 'other self' had forced him to flee with his tails behind his legs, a fact that kept her from rearing like a mad dog on his sight. "Hi again, Mr. Howland," Hayley replied curtly, mustering an indifferent expression and returning his cold glare with her own stinging stare. It took her all the willpower she had not to let the 'other her' go out and wreck havoc in the house, not with Sarah watching both of them. The latter was already on the verge of forceful takeover, but she quietly told her to stay put and turned to Sarah, asking with a casual, yet cautious tone, "So, I'm assuming this guy's the shy and sloppy brother you were talkin' about?"

Fateful Convergence

Hi. :3
