"Hypothermia, I believe it's called, was technically what happened. Regardless, it wasn't in the least bit pleasant." Archie eats another spoonful of soup, then indicates the three bowls of it on his tray with a rueful grin. "As you might see, I'm still feeling the effects of it, if only mentally. I suppose we're lucky that the freakishly cold weather seems to have abated with the weekend's events."

"Yes, that is most certainly a good thing then" says Jessica with an enthusiastic nod. Jessica looks down at her plate, then back up at Archie and smiles. "You know, you can always come to my room for something to warm you up dear..."

Jessica actually didn't intend for that to sound flirty?dirty? the way it probably did, but she doesn't realize it at the moment. Maybe she should have clarrified that she makes a good cup of tea...

Archie stammers for a brief second, and luckily he hadn't yet put the spoonful of soup into his mouth. "That's, er, very kind of you to offer," he manages.

Jessica smiles appreciatively. "Thank you dear but you see its nothing I wouldn't offer to anyone else. Thats just how I am you see." Jessica gives a serious nod and takes another sip of water, puts the glass down, folds her hands properly over her lap and smiles back at Archie.

Perhaps Archie's been in the company of more modern folk a bit too long, he thinks, and is assuming the OMGdirty worst of people's statements. "I appreciate that," he says, somehow getting a smile out. "You live in the dorms, I assume?"

Jessica nods politely. "Yes, room 232. And you?"

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"115," he replies. "On the illustrious, eerily quiet first floor. All the fun seems to happen on your floor."

"Really? I hadn't noticed. I mean...yes, the second floor does seem to have a rather colorful group of young individuals...but so far, regardless of one's floor, everyone I have met here is really quite kind and pleasant you know." Jessica pauses, then continues. "And you, Mr. Kennedy, are of course no exception." Jessica smiles widely, but raises her glass of water to her mouth, trying to hide the degree of her smiling.

Archie blushes a bit more, and wonders if he can blame on the steam rising from the hot soup. "Thank you, Miss Tate. I can think of a sole exception to the rule, but yes, I've been quite pleased to discover the same thing. Today, of course, I can add one more person to that total."

Sometimes Jessica was wonderful at picking up on subtleties even though this wasn't really subtle but oh well. Unfortunately this was not one of those times.

Jessica blinks and asks with all seriousness, "Really? Who...?"
