Study Hall, Monday

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Kerrigan wasn't entirely sure how she kept getting roped into these things, but she entered the Study Hall room properly armed with donuts, coffee, painkillers and what appeared to be a day-old pizza.

And guns, of course. Just not particularly visible ones. It was a school environment, after all.

She sat down behind the desk, sagged, and prepared for a long and probably mostly unproductive day.

Fourth Period

The last slice of pizza is now gone, and she's started ogling the donuts between course estimates.

River entered the room and smiled at Kerrigan. Then she noticed the donuts and started to ogle too.

Re: Fourth Period

Kerrigan smiled back at her. "Think I'm fighting a losing battle, here," she said, waving River towards the donuts.

Re: Fourth Period

"Have to lose sometime." River grinned and held up her hands, gesturing for Kerrigan to throw a donut to her.

Re: Fourth Period

She reached into the box and pulled out a glazed one. Then tossed it at River with an underhand throw. "Better to the donuts, I guess."

Re: Fourth Period

River caught the donut easily. "Thought so too," she said.

Re: Fourth Period

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Kerrigan picked up a donut for herself and stared at it. Then through the hole. "So how was your weekend? Are you okay?"

Re: Fourth Period

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River thought for a moment. "Okay. Had to go looking for myself. Not sure what I found. You?"

Re: Fourth Period

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

But you found something? "Made the mistake of going out. Got a major headache in the bargain. You know how it is."

Re: Fourth Period

Maybe. Very uncertain. Her meeting with a different Adah came into her mind, but she tried pushing it away, knowing Kerrigan would hear. "Tell me?"

Lee found himself in study hall before his first and last class of the day. Might as well get some actual work done before, possibly, having to remove clothing.

Re: Fourth Period

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Kerrigan shot Lee an amused look from across the room. The naked thing? Never going to get old. "Gearing up for Ares, huh?"

Re: Fourth Period

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Good guess," he answered with a nod. "I haven't had to take any clothing off since that week you were in there. Maybe he got bored or something."

Re: Fourth Period

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"It's Ares," she replied, sitting back, "He's a strategist. He's probably just waiting to catch you unawares."

Inciting paranoia in students was fun.

Re: Fourth Period

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Telling me that he's trying to catch me naked doesn't make me feel better," Lee answered, frowning.

Re: Fourth Period

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"No," Kerrigan said, smirking, "But now you're on your toes."

Re: Fourth Period

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Right," Lee said, a little bit disbelieving. "Did you lose your memories this weekend?"

Re: Fourth Period

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"No," she said, rubbing her brow again in sympathy. For her own pain, that is. "Did you?"

Re: Fourth Period

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

As Lee entered River looked up, her mouth full of donut and her fingers smeared with donut glazing.

Re: Fourth Period

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Good donut?" Lee asked, amused.

Re: Fourth Period

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River nodded thougtfully. "It won. I surrendered."

Re: Fourth Period

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"I think that's a battle well worth surrendering for," Lee said. "The donuts probably played dirty anyway."

Re: Fourth Period

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"They did the sweet and tempting tactic," River replied. "Hard to resist." She began licking the glazing off her fingers. "I got my speaceship repaired. Took it flying last weekend."

Re: Fourth Period

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah?" He grinned and leaned forward on the desk, book forgotten. "How'd that go?"

Re: Fourth Period

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"One spin around Earth," she said, trying not to let her enthusiasm show too clearly. "Didn't crash."
