[CLOSED] Strawberries For Milk

[richestduck]

Who: Scrooge McDuck (A) and Leanne
What: Trading strawberries for milk
When: Midday-ish
Other information: Leanne meets the bitter Scrooge. This should end well.


Having a good laugh at Beaks's expense had been nice, but now he was going to have this other person coming to his home. At least the trade should be over with quickly. She wouldn't even have to come onto the property.

So when Leanne arrived, Scrooge would be waiting by the fence surrounding the property, signs ordering "GO AWAY!" and "SCRAM!" behind him. He leaned on his cane, a bottle of milk in one hand.

"Lassie." He nodded his head respectfully.

Scrooge may think that Leanne was just going to be a quick greet and trade. Little does he realize that she had been planning on meeting him and trying to befriend him.

Carrying one of her larger strawberries in a tote, she lands near the gate, smiling brightly at him. She sees those signs. Yup, and guess what, she is going to ignore them now.

"My lord Scrooge." A small bow of her head. She then offers him her tote holding 3 strawberries within. "I just harvest these right before coming here. They should be at their sweetest right now."

[richestduck]

If anything, her calling him "lord" caused him to sink down into himself a little.

"I'm not the laird of anything, lassie, but thank you all the same." He held up the bottle of milk. "One quart of milk as promised."

[song_princess]

She frowns as she notices him sinking down and goes to start cooing.

"I will try to call you just Scrooge McDuck then." She smiles as she goes to accept the bottle of milk. "Thank you." She is just going to stand there and wait for him to invite her in or take a peek inside the tote. Cause she also has flowers and tea bags within the tote.

Scrooge took the tote, not inviting the woman onto his property. This was strictly business and...

He grunted in surprise before opening up the tote. "Just how many strawberries did you pick?"

Well, the size of the fruits definitely made Scrooge's feathers reach for the sky in shock. Dear God, where did she find strawberries that big?!

[song_princess]

Okay, she couldn't help but to giggle a little. She has all the time in the world to make herself get invited onto his property.

"Just 3. I was planning to put them as a part of a special order but decided that you may like them more. They are a specialty of my farm."

[richestduck]

He didn't like owing anything to anyone, but the deal had been strawberries for a quart of milk. The deal was square though arguably Scrooge was the only one really getting anything of value from it.

However, he then noticed the other items contained inside. "We didn't agree on flowers. Or tea."

[song_princess]

It was a fair trade for her, she almost felt bad that she didn't give him more but she was told that 3 strawberries would equal one shipment.

"Tea? I would love to have some with you! I bet this milk will go great with it."

[richestduck]

"What? No! I am not inviting you to tea! You've got tea and flowers in the bag!"

Oh no. He was not falling for this. Nope. Not going to happen.

[song_princess]

"Oh my, you don't have to insist but thank you for the invite!"

And she spreads her wings to just casually fly to the other side of the fence, smiling as brightly and cheerfully as she possibly can.

[richestduck]

"Oi! Get off my property this instant!" Scrooge shouted, pointing emphatically to the other side of the fence.

[song_princess]

Okay, time to play up her innocence. "But just one cup of tea wouldn't hurt. Would it?"

[richestduck]

"Oh, no, you little minx. That might not work on my twin, but it won't work on me. Out. Now!"

[song_princess]

She goes to sit down and just smiles sweetly at him. "But what is the rush. We could at least enjoy a cup of tea together."

[richestduck]

Scrooge's scowl deepened, and he stormed over to her. "I don't want tea, and I certainly don't want company. Now get off of my property."
