Study Hall, 11/29

The room is open, and Dream sits in his usual chair. He is trying to seem less intimidating. Really.

Come. Study. Learn.

After shop class, Sam took a seat in study hall and began to work on her story for Cyborg Theory.

"Sam!" John waves her over. " "Come pet the cute dog!" (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/399329.html?thread=18649313#t18649313)

"How's your story going?" Lee asks cheerfully, offering her a mint.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Oh, ugh," she replied, taking the mint. "Thanks. It isn't going anywhere. Stupid story. If I wanted to be a writer, wouldn't I have been in a writing class?"

[ooc: Just so there's no misunderstanding, *I* love the idea. Sam? Not so much.]

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"I think it's kind of a fun exercise, you know. Better than a research paper!" and he laughs.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Well, sure. You're creative and enjoy doing this stuff." She smiled. "Me? I'm going to be lucky if it's in full sentences--and that'll probably only be because Bridge did his half."

Lee hands her another mint. "I'm sure you'll do fine."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"That's sweet, Lee. Thanks." She took the mint. "So, how's your story going? I bet you're probably done already, or getting it published or something, right?"

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

Lee smirks. "I have to track down Sharon and figure out how we're going to finalize the thing, yeah."

/Sam!/

Cameron barks as he runs up to where Sam is sitting. He jumps on the nearest chair and unto the table, moving directly on top of the books.

Sam bent down immediately and put her hand in front of the dog's nose so he could catch her scent. "Oh, who's a beautiful dog?" She began scratching between his ears as she looked over to John. "Whose dog is he?"

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

Lee grins awkwardly. "It's Cameron, actually."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam immediately pulled her hands out of Cameron's...er, fur...and glanced around to make sure Vala wasn't in the immediate vicinity.

"Cameron?"

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"That's what John says," Lee replies, nodding his head.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Oh, for goodness' sake!" She facepalmed. "He was bitten by a hamster yesterday. I assume this is the result."

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"A hamster bite did this?!" Lee says, shocked.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Okay, the ear thing was annoying. Cameron leaned into her hand, then got the urge to scratch his ear. He quickly pulled back and barked at Sam again, trying to show the bitemarks on his paw.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

After what Lee said, Sam took Cameron's paw in her hands and began to examine it, finally noticing the small bite marks.

"Well, as long as you didn't need to go to the clinic and get it checked out or anything, Cam," she smirked.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron whines and curls a paw over his nose.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"And now I feel guilty," Sam remarked, melting under the power of the canine cuteness. "You're much better at that in your current form, in case you're curious. So, any idea how long this is going to last or who we can talk to to get you undone?"

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream notices the dog and rises slowly from his chair. He addresses the dog in clumsy but serviceable Canine; anyone else might wonder why the languages teacher is suddenly barking and whining.

//Hello. Is there anything I can help you with?//

[OOC: If you don't want Dream to talk to him or translate, let me know and I'll delete.]

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

//You understand me?//

Cameron asks surprised as he turns to Dream.

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

//Yes. Mostly.//

He cocks his head as though listening. //You are part wolf? Or fully-wolf?//

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

//I have no clue. I'm a student. Cameron Mitchell, sir. I woke up like this this morning. I think it has to do with that hamster that bit me last night.//

Cameron explains, his barks excited as someone can finally understand him.

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Absently, Dream reaches down and scratches Cam behind the ears.

//A hamster.// He sighs, doggishly. //Do you want me to go with you to see Mr. Jerusalem and explain the situation? I believe he is filling in for the Dean today.//
