Library [04/17]

A cheerful Bridge arrives at the library and flops into a chair behind the counter, for once sans the usual coffee and morning snack.

"Oh, come on," says Jen, misinterpreting the blush. "It could have been a fold-out guest bed."

"Yeah, yeah, you're right," Bridge says, happy to let Jen assume what she will instead of risking the TMI-factor if she'd asked for an explanation.

Jen wrinkles her nose. "And a giant two-dollar toilet brush for a sword . . . ew."

Re: First Period [04/17]

"Gross," Bridge agrees. "I'll take a CD tower over that any day."

"Yeah. Still . . . just weird," Jen says with a shrug. "But . . . I guess we can chalk it up as a useful life experience for you guys."

Not all of them, but she's not going to specify. Some people's secrets should probably be kept.

"A simulation really isn't quite the same thing, yeah," Bridge nods.

Re: First Period [04/17]

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"And I'm pretty sure no simulation has meatballs."

Bridge just sticks his tongue out at Jen. "You *had* to go and mention food, didn't you?"

Re: First Period [04/17]

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"What?" protests Jen. "It's barely past breakfast!"

Re: First Period [04/17]

"Hello, fasting!" Not that Jen would know that.

Re: First Period [04/17]

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"Huh?"

Not one of Jen's most intelligent moments there.

Re: First Period [04/17]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Religious thing," Bridge says with a shrug.

Re: First Period [04/17]

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

". . . oh." No, the not-so-intelligent moment isn't over yet. "Why?"

Re: First Period [04/17]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Passover starts on Saturday," Bridge explains. "And there's not supposed to be fasting on Fridays, so... today it is."

Re: First Period [04/17]

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but I don't understand what starving yourself has to do with anything," Jen says slowly.

Re: First Period [04/17]

Bridge glances around suspiciously and then drops his voice to a whisper. "...Neither do I," he admits.

Re: First Period [04/17]

Jen actually giggles.

Don't get used to it, it might not happen again.

"Is this one of those things that's better left a mystery?"

Re: First Period [04/17]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Probably," Bridge says with a nod, trying not to crack a smile at Jen's giggling. It kind of slips through anyway though.

Re: First Period [04/17]

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

Jen holds up her index finger. "Never tell anyone about this."

Re: First Period [04/17]

"My lips are sealed," Bridge says, miming a zipper motion. "Still, you should do it more often."

Re: First Period [04/17]

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no," Jen says mock-grimly. "And have people thinking I have a sense of humor?"

Re: First Period [04/17]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Which would lure them in to a false sense of security," Bridge points out.

Re: First Period [04/17]

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

". . . aren't we supposed to be giving them a genuine sense of security?"

Re: First Period [04/17]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Sure, technically speaking," Bridge says.

"Bad police cadet," Jen says, and she can't keep the corners of her mouth from twitching as she shakes her finger at him. "Bad, bad police cadet."
