Early December 2012: Leena's B&B

December is damn cold in the badlands. Good thing the B&B has a good heater. Due to the cold and Joshua's typical inclinations, he has been getting up a bit earlier than usual to make breakfast for Morning Meetings, which he's been running more often than not because Artie just doesn't want to leave the Warehouse in the cold. (Not that Joshua blames him in the slightest).

So this particular morning, Pete and Myka were already on a case from yesterday involving rather frightning office supplies, so Joshua was making tea instead of the usual coffee, and much less bacon.

It still smells damn good, though.

It's not too long before Helena comes down (though Claudia and Steve will probably be a while yet); she heads into the kitchen to see what Joshua's up to. "Hello, darling."

Helena fishes a plate out of the cabinet and hands it to Joshua. "You may wish to put on some trousers before your sister comes downstairs."

"Ah. Well, I do hope you're prepared for later." As soon as the tea's ready, she takes the liberty of pouring herself a cup.

"No, when we go to Minneapolis and find things to wear for next week." She may have made the arrangements when it became apparent Joshua had no intention of doing so (and when she realised they couldn't get by with what's available in Featherhead).

"You're burning a pancake, darling." Helena takes some dishes to the dining room, the better to start setting the breakfast table. "It is next week, and if you don't show up under your own power, it's just as likely Mr. Kosan will ensure you get there. Better to be prepared. Besides, I'll need something to wear as well."

"You did groundbreaking research that you can - and should - be recognised for. And you need to start learning to embrace the power you've got." Which Helena suspects is a good deal more than Joshua realises, but this isn't the time to bring that up. "You've earned this, darling."

"Eyes on the food, Joshua." At this rate, there won't be any batter left to eat. "Do you really think you're the first person in the world to get recognition for something and feel that they haven't quite earned it?"

"Claudia is right, you know. You can't get away with a sweater-vest at this particular event. I doubt you could even if the dress code were less strict." She leans back into the kitchen and smiles at Joshua. "And for all I am not bound by current fashion or even good taste, I can't very well wear anything I currently have to such a function as this."

"It's also far from appropriate for the occasion." Helena smiles. "I would try to rouse them, but I dare say it's not worth the effort. Cover the dish and let's eat our own breakfast. We need to be underway in a couple of hours."

"Well, is there a case for them? If so, I'm sure Artie would delight in the opportunity to fill them in."

"If they happen to make it downstairs, we can still do precisely that. If not, you're still going to Minneapolis. If we put this off much longer neither of us will have anything to wear."

And to some extent, Helena's still not used to moving in the fully-pre-made-clothing world. If something needs tailoring, this is about as close as they can cut it and still have their clothes when they need them.
timelessinventor: ([w13] duh)

Helena sighs. "Darling, what's wrong?"

"I took the liberty of packing for us both while you were busy yesterday - and don't worry, I restrained myself." They're going out with the express purpose of buying clothing, after all; no point in packing excess amounts. "You needn't rush, but the sooner we can be on our way, the better."
