Hit it!

Did she want to wear them? Like, right now? “I`m not really a glasses kind of person,” she laughed slightly, shaking her head as she spoke. “I really wouldn`t suit them.”

Then again, Lillian might not get another opportunity to try them on. And besides, weren`t the Blues Brothers kind of famous? How many people could say that they got to wear a celebrity`s sunglasses?

He unfolded his PRIZED glasses and slid them onto Lillian's face. He made sure they sat comfortably, on her ears and nose, before fixing her hair and pulling back to gaze upon his work. Then, however, a finger pushed them further up the bridge of her nose.

Perfect!

“Oh.” If she was being honest, Lily had originally thought that McKinley had hyped up the man`s eyes to be nice - that they were possibly grotesque or missing in general. She hadn`t expected that. “They`re… fine.”

Maybe her comment didn`t make sense to the other, but it certainly made sense to herself. They were more than fine, really - the man had great eyes ! This was a surprise, and Lillian couldn`t help but wonder one thing.

He folded the legs of the sunglasses and turned it carefully so he could look into the lenses, glancing up to Lillian as she questioned him, and rightly so.

"It's the BLUES BROTHERS WAY," He replied simply, as if that was all the explanation needed. "If you're a Blues Brother, you always wear sunglasses, black suits, and black hats. It's what we do."

She felt a little silly now for not thinking of the microwave, but oh well. Lillian always felt a little silly, no matter what she did.

Looking over to the other as he leaned against the counter, the blonde thought to offer him a drink - but the sink was right there, so Lily decided against it. When he spoke, she gave a grin and placed her own glass down on the counter top.

Jake and Elwood never went out of their way to be assholes ( unless you were a cop who had pulled them over, an Illinois Nazi, or The Good Ole Boys ) , not if you were nice to them. Lillian had been nothing but nice, even when she had the right not to be.

"You'd be surprised at the amount of people who see the need to be fucking assholes at the drop of a hat," In their case, at the drop of THEIR hats.

He looked into the rest of the apartment, since it had an open plan, and took in the neatness of it all. The quiet atmosphere, the nice lighting, and the personal touches here and there. Homey.

Going over to the sink to make herself a drink, the blonde continued talking, voice raising to drown out the noise of the tap. “I`ll put Elwood`s toast on when the food`s almost done cooking, so we can all eat at the same time.”

Then, leaning against the counter, Lillian sipped at her water, glancing at the takeout menus. Not that she was going to order anything from them, but it was always nice to look.

"No, I don't think a wet rag, hot or not, would help," He glanced around the room, nodding to the microwave upon spotting it.

"Defrost it in the microwave. You can't put it back in the fridge, but we're not planning to," Jake picked up the meal, retrieved a plate, and prepped it in a timely manner to be defrosted.

He placed it into the microwave, chose the correct setting, and then leaned back against the counter beside the microwave as it hummed softly ( Sarah wouldn't mind the impromptu use of her microwave, she wasn't even home yet! ) .

“That`s fine. I`ll go put dinner on then.” Reheated frozen meals were something Lillian often complained about at work, but she wasn`t at work now, so she didn`t really need to be that fussy. Making her way over to the freezer, the blonde rummaged around for the food, before finally finding it.

After pulling it out and looking long and hard at it, Lily decided that no, this couldn`t be cooked straight away - and so she placed it down on the counter to thaw.

He eyed the food, the bits of ice stuck to the packaging, and then stood. He approached the fridge, pulling four take-out menus from their magnetised positions and then GENTLY threw them onto the counter beside Lillian.
