"What was up with that?" Isabel laughed, remembering the radio. "That was odd as all hell."

"You have no idea." He boggled slightly. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to flirt when you can only ask questions?"

"What? Did you run out of questions after what's your sign and can I buy you a drink?" Snickering, she sipped her latte and smiled.

"Hey! I have never asked anyone what their sign is." He shuddered. "So tacky. And I managed just fine, thank you. I'm taking Rikku and Dawn out for coffee some time this week. Well, I still have to ask Dawn."

"Rikku's nice. I'm going to try and help her with something, if I can," Isabel said, resting her head on his shoulder. "I'm not sure I'll be able to."

"Something? What sort of something?"

"A dreamwalk thing," she explained. "It'll be perfectly safe, don't worry."

"Uh huh," he said doubtfully, turning to look at her. "And as soon as you say that, I start worrying. What's going on, Isabel."

"It's not my place to say Jack," Isabel said quietly. "It's Rikku's problem. If I'm lucky I'll be able to help her. If I'm not? I'll have taken an extra nap. But it's moot at this point because unless she gets a picture, I can't do a thing."

"Okay, okay, Isabel, but," he put his coffee down and stepped in front of her, resting both hands on her shoulders, "you be careful, and you come get me before hand, if you want me to watch you. All right?"

Isabel put her own coffee down and slid her arms around his waist. "If it even happens. I promise, I'll tell you when and call you as soon as it's done."

"You'd better," he told her sternly, hugging her back. "Or I'm gonna be very cranky, and that's no fun for anyone."

"Nope, we don't want that," she laughed into his shoulder. "I've seen you cranky. It's definitely not fun."

Isabel reluctantly let go and reached for her coffee. "So how many more exams? Just Gods and Survival Tactics?"

"That's it, and I hope they go as well as today's did. Okay, I got shot, but I met both my objectives and," he grinned, "got to tie someone up."

Raising an eyebrow Isabel gave him the once over. "You don't look like you were wounded. And do I want to know details about the tying up? Or is going to get into TMI?"

Laughing, he grabbed his coffee and hopped back on the desk. "Spy Tech final. Annette was supposed to shoot me, but I managed to steal her pendant - part of the assignment - tie her up with a grappling line, and I left her all alone in a dark train tunnel. So I probably deserved it when she got loose and shot me. I also had to go and grab a shower, because she let a stink bomb off near me. It was an absolute blast."

"Sounds like fun," she smiled. "We'll probably have to do something similar in Hunting later. I have to admit, I like practical exams instead of boring written ones."

"It was an absolute riot. We should take over the Danger Shop and throw parties." He stared into space as he imagined that, absently fishing out a muffing and handing it to Isabel. "If more exams were like that people would enjoy school a lot more."

"I gave serious thought to hijacking the danger shop for Prom," Isabel admitted, breaking off a piece of muffin and nibbling on it. "We could have had real canals."

"Maybe without shooting things, though. I don't think the formal wear would have stood it." Jack snickered. "Though I guess I could have hidden a gun under my kilt."

"You probably could have," Isabel laughed. "although wouldn't it have been uncomfortable?"

"Maybe." He snickered and prepared to be thawpped. "Depends on where I wanted to wear it."

Isabel choked on the bite of muffin she was eating.

Jack patted her on the back, smiling innocently, but there was a wicked glint in his eye. "You okay there, Izzy?"

"Just fine," she said after taking a sip of coffee. "Just fine."
