Room 313, Sunday afternoon

[solo_sword]

After yesterday's trip into the common room, Jaina decided maybe she'd stick to her own room today, at least until she knew this current bout of Fandom weirdness was over. She could only deal with so much patheticness in one weekend and she was pretty sure she'd filled her quota of being yelled at, cried at and accused of liking other boys better.

So until then she was going to keep working on her homework. With the door closed.

[It's still knockable, though.]

Jaina's eyes widened. "You hit him? Last I saw no one was moving from their spots. What did he say?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Um, something really horrific that I wouldn't want to repeat," John replied. "But it's all good now, I'm sure." Assuming Gavin was willing to play the repression game along with John.

Jaina eyed him warily, a little afraid of what he wasn't saying and hoping he'd give in and tell her if she just stared at him long enough.

He didn't deal well with the staring. "What?"

[solo_sword]

"I really want to know what was so horrific," she told him.

John rolled his eyes, "Fine! He mocked my hair."

[solo_sword]

"Mocked your hair?" Jaina asked, trying not to smile. "So you hit him."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"It had been building," he said. "And it was a very, um, emotional day."

[solo_sword]

She tilted her head, totally examining him for bruises. "Did he hit back?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John crossed his arms, unamused by that question. "I said I only hit him once."

[solo_sword]

She held a hand up in surrender. "All right, fair enough. Just checking."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Thank you," he replied. "So, was there anything else or are we moving on to new and different topics?"

[solo_sword]

"I think we've covered all the important bits so far," she said thoughtfully. "I'll let you know if that changes."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I'm happy to hear that," and he was, because it meant nothing bad had made radio. "So, whatcha working on?"

[solo_sword]

"Inventiontronics class," she said, poking at her notebook. "I have to come up with an invention for tomorrow. It's not going well."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"They expect you to invent something on a week's notice?" John asked. "I'm glad I didn't sign up for that."

[solo_sword]

"Well, just the idea. The problem is it can't be weapons, and that seems to be where my brain's going," she explained. "Still."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Invent something prankish," John suggested. "Or even better, something to do your homework while you do other things."

[solo_sword]

"If I had more homework than this, I'd be all over that second option," she grinned.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Should I leave you to finish then?" he asked. "Since it's due tomorrow and all."

[solo_sword]

"Only if you want to," she answered. "It's not like I'm worried."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Well, since I don't have any homework, I'll stay and stare while you do yours."

[solo_sword]

"Stare, huh?" she asked, figuring she wasn't going to get much work done that way. Not that she minded.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Would you rather I not?" he replied. "I could close my eyes, see?" And he did because really, he had nothing else going on.

[solo_sword]

Jaina smiled. "Or I could take a break. That work?"
