-Lucius raises an eyebrow.-
Lucius: What, and fingers aren't good enough for a wild animal like you?
Crewe: Ever tried eating soup with your fingers? Or ice cream? Spoons were invented for a reason.
-she continues eating her ice cream-
Crewe: Just for that, you get no ice cream. Unless you want to use your fingers.
Lucius: I think I will, actually.
-He suddenly dives on top of Crewe, attempting to use the element of surprise to seize her ice cream.-
-Crewe yelps and snatches her ice cream out of his reach, holding it out above her head at arm's reach-
Crewe: Hey! Get your own, you jerk!
Lucius: Survival of the fittest! I thought that was the first thing that wild animals learnt.
-He continues to scrabble in an attempt to grab Crewe's ice cream, trying to take advantage of his (relatively) superior height.-
Crewe: I'm a half-blind runt! That would be a terrible lesson for me to learn!
-she holds the ice cream out as far away from his as she can with one hand, shoving at him with the other-
Lucius: Then you should've gotten used to people stealing your ice cream!
-He attempts to swat away the arm that Crewe is shoving at him with, presumably turning the struggle into an undignified slapfight - not that dignity ever factored into the fight for ice cream in the first place.-
Crewe: Most people are nicer to the runt. You're supposed to feel bad for me!
-she swats back at him, trying to drop the ice cream behind the couch without it landing upside down-
Lucius: I know you far too well for that!
-It would appear that the ice cream is now a secondary priority to Lucius, as he continues to flail ineffectually with no apparent goal or purpose in mind other than agitating the other occupant of the sofa.-
Crewe: You jerk!
-she tries to grab his wrists to stop him from flailing-
Lucius: It's a hard fact of life! Somebody's got to be the one to teach you that lesson!
-With his wrists grabbed, Lucius does the only logical thing and attempts to roll off of the back of the sofa, pulling Crewe down with him.-
-Crewe yelps as Lucius rolls off the sofa, though she is glad to no longer be pinned underneath him. She pins his wrists down to the ground-
Crewe: Maybe somebody's gotta teach you a lesson, jerk!
-Lucius struggles vainly for a moment before realising that Crewe has him quite thoroughly pinned.-
Lucius: ...You know, we probably ought to save this kind of thing for sparring matches.
-Crewe refuses to let him up-
Crewe: You tried to steal my ice cream. You were asking for it.
-Lucius blinks.-
Lucius: That's what we were fighting over?
Crewe: ... Well duh. I wouldn't waste this much effort on you if there wasn't something important at stake. What did you think we were fighting over?
-Lucius shrugs, insofar as someone in his position can.-
Lucius: I dunno. I just thought we were fighting for the sake of it.
-Crewe rolls her eyes and rolls off of him, laying down shoulder-to-shoulder at the base of the couch with him-
Crewe: You're an idiot, fruitcake.
-Lucius turns to look at her.-
Lucius: Maybe, but you're still here, aren't you?
-Crewe turns her head to face him-
Crewe: Yeah, well, I'm an idiot, too.
-Lucius gives a small chuckle.-
Lucius: At least you admit it.
-There is a pause that is quickly filled by awkward silence.-
Crewe: ... I'll let you share my ice cream if you'll be nice.
-The mention of ice cream seems to regain Lucius' attention from whatever passing thought he was mediating on.-
Lucius: That's awfully trusting of you.
Crewe: Yeah, well, if you betray my trust I'll just beat you up again.
Lucius: See, now you're beginning to understand the rules of the wild. I don't suppose you have a spare spoon on you?
