Bridge snickers. "Very stealthy of you."

Xander nods, bookmarking a thread with couple of still-a-wee-bit-clumsy clicks of the mouse-pad-click...thing.

"Stealthy like a note-taking ninja, that's me."

"I didn't think note-taking was something they taught ninjas."

"Well, if they want to remember all the other ninja stuff they learn," Xander says logicaly.

From his speakers comes a faint, but very un-ninja-like *ping*, and a new mail popup...pops up.

Xander rubs at his face as he slides the speaker volume down. "Yup, stealthiest ninja ever."

"Ooh, spending class time getting email," Bridge tsks. "Anyone I know?"

"Getting e-mail's kinda passive," Xander points out. "Not like I can really control when somebody sends it to me."

Checking, it on the other hand, is admittedly not exactly related to the artistic themes of the movie. Though it's possible it could be e-mail from a muppet.

"Probably somebody telling us about another forty-five birthdays, all next week," he says, flipping to his e-mail tab.

Groan. "Or it could be Willow."

"Willow?" Bridge tilts his head. "She's the one who got you the info on Skeeter, right?"

"Yeah, she's at school in the dimension where Skeeter came from."

Xander eyes the e-mail with fear, trepidation, and some other word that means fear, and so doesn't open it.

"We've been best friends since we were, uh. Wee. And also tiny."

"Rosenberg?" Bridge asks, remembering something from last week's email conversation. "Or was that a different friend from the days of weetinyness?"

Xander smiles, but he's still not opening that e-mail omg. "No, that's her."

"Cool," Bridge says, and then glances back at the screen. "You gonna open it?" He asks.

Oh look. Rock. Hard place.

Xander frowns, then sighs, and just sticks his tongue out at the screen. "She's... kinda being nosy right now."

"About what?" Bridge asks curiously. "Annnnd, that would be *me* being nosy, right there."

Xander coughs. "Er. You?"

Bridge grins. "Have you told her anything yet, then?"

He's so going to Hell for this, one way or another. Look, we can lie by omission to two people at the same time, because we are omg talented!

"I'm... withholding information on the grounds that she's being bossy?"

Xander nods firmly. Which... is not entirely a lie, but...yeah.

He runs one hand through his hair and tentatively pokes at the preview function on his e-mail reader, just to see if the opening lines are remotely safe.

New day, new detail. Cough it up, buster.

love, Willow.

Huh, okay, not so much with opening lines then.

Bridge peers at the email. "One detail a day, huh?" He remarks. "So... can I ask what you've said about me so far, then?"

Xander opens his mouth, and thinks very carefully. Really he should've learned by now that this is like 'measure twice cut once' in terms of getting the order right, but at least he doesn't actually say anything until he's thought.

"That there was date? Except actually she guessed that part because I mentioned being threatened with bodily harm, and, well, that tends to be a common feature on my dates."

Bridge snickers. "Wow, you really are taking this 'withholding information' thing seriously, then, if that's all you've said."

Xander grins. "Okay, I might in fact have told her that said date did not in fact suck. And that there might be another, and it might be the *Oh* thing."

Bridge grins. And then taps his chin thoughtfully. "Hmm, so what very important detail are you gonna part with next?" He asks.

"Ah, see, here we have a lesson in the fine ninja art of 'stalling'," Xander tells him.

He hits Reply and types:

*send*

And, er *hope really loudly in head that Willow does not use the word 'she' in her reply. And/or that she doesn't reply until, say, tomorrow...*
__

"That's kinda evil," Bridge says with a grin. "I approve."

"Thank you. I tr--"

*ping*

Dammit.

Xander peeks warily at the newest message, line by line, scanning for anything that could get him in trouble, but it looks safe, at least on the surface.

Très funny, Monsieur le Smarty-Pantalon.

Name? Haircolor? Shoe-size? Lack of horns and/or fangs?
