Apparently the fish man only brought fish, and the pizza man only pizza. If they wanted a fan they had to go to Asda. Fawn didn't know what an Asda was, but the building was big and people were leaving with carts full of stuff. Exciting!
Inside they were greeted by a large display of plush bears, and fawn gasped.
"Friends. We should free them."

Date: 2021-05-11 06:21 pm (UTC)Fawn beamed, pleased that he'd done well.

Date: 2021-05-11 07:42 pm (UTC)"Why don't you put a bit more away while I finish this up?" John asked. "It won't take long. Then we can sit and enjoy it."
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 12:31 am (UTC)Fawn nodded, rinsing off the pots and pans before tucking them away, and then putting his new clothes away in the tall set of drawers he'd built.
"The food smells good, what is it made of?" he asked.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 01:12 am (UTC)Lips and assholes, John thought, and snickered a little like the child he was.
"Meat. Pork I think. And spices," he answered aloud. "And potatoes mashed with butter and cream."
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 01:25 am (UTC)"Pork? ...Piggies?" Fawn asked, looking a little upset.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 01:30 am (UTC)"Or chicken. Or beef. I didn't read the label," he replied.
It was probably all of them and a dash of whatever was lying in the ditch, but John didn't care.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 01:47 am (UTC)Fawn still looked upset.
"I love chickens though."
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 01:50 am (UTC)"What's the difference between a chicken a a fish? Not much, they both taste good," he said.
But then he really looked at Fawn.
"I can make something else to go with the mash," he offered kindly.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 02:02 am (UTC)Fawn looked unsure, nervous even.
"I will try your food, but I can not promise to finish it."
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 02:06 am (UTC)"You don't have to. I can put some pasta on, too. There's plenty of room on this thing for another pot," John offered. He didn't want Fawn to go hungry. Not on the first night home.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 02:15 am (UTC)"No. Mortals consume flesh, if I am to stay among them, I must at least try it," Fawn decided.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 02:18 am (UTC)"You are under no obligation to enjoy it," John said, pointing his fork at him. He went back to stirring the potatoes.
"There's been times I've gone hungry, so I'll eat anything available. I'm well aware most people are more choosy than I am."
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 02:30 am (UTC)"It's just frowned upon to feast on those we share our homes with, and the homes of the fae are often the woods themselves. Chickens, pigs, deer... I have shared resting places with them all," Fawn explained.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 02:39 am (UTC)"We do the same, but different. We don't eat dogs or cats or goldfish or lizards. But we domesticated the cows and pigs and chicken for food," John said. "I mean, some people eat all vegan diets. Just nuts and plants and such..."
He'd never really given much thought to why he ate what he ate, but he could understand if Fawn viewed farm animals the same way he pictured a pet.

Date: 2021-05-12 02:55 am (UTC)"I am named for the creatures I laid with the most as a child. I would often curl up beside deer and their fawns and sleep with them. ...At least I was told as much," Fawn explained.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 02:59 am (UTC)"That," he said, pointing at Fawn with the fork again, "Is some Disney princess shit. That settles it. Tonight I'm showing you Bambi."
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 03:16 am (UTC)"What is a Bambi?" Fawn asked curiously.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 10:47 am (UTC)"Ir's a movie. A cartoon. About a fawn who is the prince of the forest," John smiled. "And his rabbit and skunk friends."
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 06:02 pm (UTC)Fawn looked very interested in that,
"I will watch this with you."
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 08:59 pm (UTC)"Alright. Let me finish up dinner."
He poked a potato and found it done.
"Just a few more minutes. Let me drain these and mash them. We can eat on the sofa. Why don't you get plates and drinks."
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 09:22 pm (UTC)Fawn nodded, getting out the plates he'd just put away and retrieving them a drink each from the ice box.
"Today was nice," the fae noted. "I enjoyed our time outside together."
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 09:32 pm (UTC)"It was a good day," John agreed with a smile.
He got the dinner plated and brought it to Fawn to settle on the sofa.
"Want to watch while we eat/" he asked. "Or after?"
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 09:37 pm (UTC)"We can dine and watch," Fawn insisted.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-12 09:49 pm (UTC)John settled in with his plate and his beer, then took the remote to call it up.
"This is a classic," he smiled.
