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.

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

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

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

Re: Fourth Period

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?"

Re: Fourth Period

I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours, she replied.

River hesitated. But Kerrigan could keep a secret and River was keeping one for her. She let the memory (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/1229580.html?thread=102714636#t102714636) be clear in her mind, smiling a little nervously.

That was nice. Kerrigan's mindvoice was quiet and a little wistful.

After a few moments, she put the donut back on the table. Level 10 teep, she sent, indicating herself, Whatever happened, I could feel it. They were everywhere - more than before, everyone saying contradictory things... She pushed the donut further onto the table. Too much. I almost went deeper than I should've. Had to go home.

She looked up at River.

Danger? River's eyes widened a little, preferring not to comment on her own memories.

My telepathy is inhibited, she replied, seeming weary, Most people think it's to keep them safe. It's not. It's for me.

Re: Fourth Period

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

Not clear. River replied. Explain further?

Re: Fourth Period

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

No one never says what they mean, Kerrigan said, rubbing her forehead, Too many damn contradictions. Have to stay light or I go crazy.

Re: Fourth Period

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River let out a chuckle. Someone should have told me that a long time ago.

Re: Fourth Period

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Kerrigan shot her a rueful, vaguely maternal smile. Yeah.

Re: Fourth Period

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

Learn the hard way. Her hand reached closer to the donuts, grabbing another one.

Re: Fourth Period

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

And, hell, Kerrigan felt that was enough of a reason to pick the donut up off her desk again. And take a bite. Yeah.

Re: Fourth Period

Donuts cheer me up but upsets my stomach in large quantities. That didn't stop her from taking a large bite.
