What's better for a sore back than a massage? Nothing. That's what.

[tentacletrainer]

Who: Solid Snake (imthe_shit), Rose Lalonde (tentacletrainer) and possibly John Egbert (ghostytrainer)??
Where: The Egbert-Lalonde household in Ecruteak.
When: January 5th
Summary: Snake mentioned a sore back and Rose all but kidnapped him to la casa Egbert-Lalonde for a bit of massage therapy.
Rating: Man who knows. PG mostly probably. Be wary of swearing I guess.

Rose knew Vodka would be returning soon. It had been about four hours, so it was time to start watching the skies for the large Dragonite. Since it wasn't that cold (50 degrees? That's skirt weather), she could do the waiting outside, which a couple of her younger Pokemon were excited about. That meant she could play with them or they could go play in the tall grass.

Hope you didn't fill up on Sneaky Snake Snacks™ on the way there, because Rose most certainly has lunch prepared.

"Hardly." She waves him off a little, opening the doors and taking her shoes off just beside them. "I am simply being a good hostess." She gives no indication that he also has to remove his shoes, continuing to the kitchen once her feet are bare.

"Besides it's nothing spectacular. John is the cook of the house. All I really make is macaroni and cheese or some sandwiches."

Snake looks down at his feet when he notices her taking her shoes off... And he kneels down, working on untying the laces... And his back continues to berate him. Once they're undone, he stands back up and takes off both army-style boots.

He's keeping his socks on because at his age, he needs any warmth he can get. Clearing his throat, the old soldier follows after her and gives a bit of a laugh.

"Macaroni and cheese? You're a gourmet chef, in my opinion. All we ever eat back home is burnt eggs and instant noodles. Not exactly the most nutritious of meals."
