one attempt at one-eyed brunch [21/??? artefacts collected]

[ It's been almost a week since ex-mafia!Philip had a very unfortunate event run-in with still-mafia!Dean. The result? His previous Wonderland lives are still intact, but he's down one eye and his arm isn't doing so well either. And that's the understatement of the day.

So. It's been almost a week. Hardly enough time to heal all wounds (or any of them for that matter), but time enough for Philip to get over the worst and out of his room. Or try to, in any case.

Right now (now being 11 in the morning) he's standing in the kitchen, arduously slaving over his attempt at late breakfast. The injury to his right shoulder is difficult to hide, what with his arm in a sling. But at least his left eye (or lack thereof) is cleverly concealed behind a pair of sunglasses.

To reiterate: Kitchen. Breakfast. 11 o'clock. Right arm in sling. Ridiculous Fashionable sunglasses. Shattered glass.

...Shattered glass?

Jesus, not again.

[ Stepping aside Philip looks at the mess. After six days improvements are coming along at last, but missteps (or misgrabs, as it were) still happen all too often. Oh depth perception, he never knew how much he loved you until you were gone.

And yet the milk keeps dripping on the floor; cold, cruel and undeterred by his struggles and frustrations.

To continue: Paper towels. Broom. Scoop. New try. Deep sigh.

[ You know, all things considered that is really neither a compliment nor an honour. Philip's less than enthused tch sound into his empty mug might give that sentiment away. ]

Right.

[ He stands up and puts the dishes away to wherever it is Wonderland cleaning works its magic. ]

Anyway. See you around I suppose.

Aww, you don't want to stay and gossip?

[ Funny how that decisive NO sounds a lot more like ]

About who?

[ when spoken out loud. ]

[Well now. Way to suddenly sound like a high school girl wanting to gossip, Philip. And here she was just kidding.]

Is there someone around here worth gossiping about? I mean, you seem a little interested now.

I just assumed you had somebody in mind, if you weren't joking.

I was just going to make hilarious comments about you some more. [She shrugs. You so love her.]

[ Sigh. ]

All right. Then I'll leave you to that and you can tell me how it went next time.

[ Surprisingly the amount of increasingly sharp pain in his head and shoulder is not directly proportional to the amount of patience he can spare for people. ]

Aww. I'll miss you! [She cheerfully waves and goes back to her eggs. See, that's a compliment at least, right? She isn't insulting his cooking!]
