"… Babe- you sing when we clean and you sing when you cook, I pray for you to read more!" She said with a chuckle
"Mm indeed she is, a little demon that wishes to eat people, and see look as these little teeth marks as proof. " she rolled up her selves to show Jo the tiny little scars that danced around her arms
"Oh, fine. I'll read more often." he snorts playfully.
"Oh god, does she gnaw on you in the middle of the night?" he snorts.
"Good thank you I get peace and quiet!" She said laughing as she took a bite of her food
Nikki looked at her arm she hadn't realized how much the scars added up over time "well- sometimes but it's not so bad she just plays rough. "
"But that means I'll be reading tonight too; since, you know, you probably don't want to hear how loud I am tonight if you're that tired of it." he teases.
"Dear jesus, I'll get her a pen - one of these days she'll move to your face, then where would we be?"
Nikki rolled her eyes and sat back in her chair " you know what the fuck I meant prick."
"no, there is no need for that she's fine."
(.)
"Mm-hmmm." Jo snickers.
"If we don't discourage her, she'll keep doing it."
Nikki rolled her eyes and turned her attention to her food
"Yeah that's what I said about her getting into the cupboard, guess who had to get bread at the shop tomorrow…. me."
Jo's snickers turn into full-fledged, gut-busting laughs as Nikki rolls her eyes.
"But she got through a combination lock to do that! I'm more proud than I am annoyed at our intelligent little friend!" he retorts.
Nikki ignored the laughter and continued eating
"The only reason why she got through a combination lock is because you didn't lock it because you forgot the combination to it so all you did was put it in the latch. "
Jo eventually stops laughing, and just looks at Nikki contemplatively.
He snorts. "Shut it. My point is, she's smart, and she's rude, but she loves us."
"Oh really I thought you'r point was that I was being eaten by our cat and it needs to stop~" she teased looking up at him with a smirk
Jo rolls his eyes.
"Oh be quiet."
Nikki smiled and blew a kiss towards Jo
"Okay dear I won't talk anymore" she said with a giggle.
"Ugh. You know that's not what I meant." Jo replies annoyedly, though he was clearly supressing a slight smile.
"Ah, yes because I know how much you like it when I talk.. Especially when we're cuddled up close it the bedroom~"
She had a sly smirk on her lips as she took a sip of water.
"God, just eat your food and let me contain the cat in peace-" Jo chuckles.
Nikki rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to her food and ate quietly, tapping her foot slightly against the floor.
Jo coralles the cat - who had been sureptitiously eating Jo's food off the counter - and places her into the bathroom before coming out and starting on his slightly nibbled food.
Nikki watched as Jo sat down and rolled her eyes again slightly it was barely noticeable, and foot up to rince her bowl and cup.
Jo, despite not looking at Nikki, was very finely tuned to her at this point.
"Oi, don't roll your eyes at me, missy."
Nikki simply ignored him and finished washing her dishes before turning and walking out of the kitchen towards the stairs so she could put something else on
Jo chuckles, finishing his own food and doing the rest of the dishes.
Nikki made her way to the stairs and trotted up them getting to hers and Jo's room and grabbing a baggy tank top and sweatpants before stripping, and throwing her clothes in the hamper and walking over to the bed to start getting dressed.
Jo hums as he works on the dishes, scrubbing the pots and pans.
