Movie Night! (For Thea)

Magically summoned lizard-armidillo creatures make oddly good house pets. Greenie (she needed a better name for him but Molly couldn't bring herself to officially name him 'Asshole' even though that's what she called him when he attacked her ankles which happened enough that she's taken to wearing socks to bed every night.) was proving her point by dozing contentedly, wrapped around the back of her neck as she finished up the last of a batch of potions she'd been working on. She was hoping there'd be some kind of market for the kind of thing she was good at. Confidence boosters, energy boosters that wouldn't give you a heart attack or rot your teeth, hair growth potions...that kind of thing. She didn't know how she was going to sell them or who to, but it was good to keep her hand in.

She'd just finished the last of some minor cosmetic potions when the doorbell rang. Thea was due for movie night and she was bringing Fred with her so Greenie had some company for a change. Greenie for his part, seemed to be able to feel Freds presence as he immediately sat up on Molly's shoulder and started making the odd little purr he made when he was happy.

Molly tossed her heavy apron onto the hook beside the door and opened it.

"Please tell me you brought beer because there is pizza on the way and pizza without beer is a travesty."
