solo_sword | Room 527, so late Friday it's Saturday

When the shuttle dropped Jaina off at the causeway, she had no idea what time it was, except she wasn't seeing a lot of people. She was guessing it was late. Realistically, it was probably late enough that she should just head back to her own room and worry about things in the morning, but she wasn't the slightest bit tired.

She wasn't sure what possessed her to try it- except that she didn't want to head back to her own room and worry about things later- but when she got to the dorms, she found herself trying to sense John, to see if he was even awake. Which he wasn't, but it sort of stunned Jaina that she could tell. It was a good kind of stunned, though, and asleep or not, she bypassed the third floor to head up to the fifth.

Jaina hoped it wasn't creepy that she tried the doorknob before knocking, but she didn't want to wake him up to have to answer the door. Besides, the door was unlocked. That was practically an invitation. She stepped inside, closing the door behind her, leaving her bag and shoes at the door.

"Not petty, but I'm still bringing up the bunny thing I wasn't even there for, so..."

This was much more comfortable, more normal. She liked this.

"Again with the bunny?" He was so willing to forget she ever mentioned it.

"Just using it as an example," she smirked.

"An example of the many crazy things that happen to me?" He asked, because of course he hadn't done anything to deserve any of them.

"Of the way I tease, but yes, that too."

"Well, I'll have you know nothing crazy happened to me this week. So you get no new dirt to tease me about." He was proud of this.

"I would have been sorry to have missed it," she said, pretty proud of him, actually.

"You really do care," he smiled. "Wanting to see me at my worst and all."

"I just like seeing you." Which was more honest than she'd been meaning to get, but there she was.

It was weird that she could still give him that fluttery feeling with just a few words. "I've heard I'm not so bad looking." Okay, so fluttery feelings didn't stop him from being an ass.

"It helps matters," she said dryly. "Lucky for me."

It was so nice having the banter back. "I had to have some way to get and keep your attention. Other than the borrowed bike."

"What if I get bored with that?" Not that she could foresee that happening.

"Bored, huh?" he asked. "I think I can work on making sure that doesn't happen."

"You think so, hm?" she asked.

"Yup. Someone mentioned something about shaving my head."

"Uh huh," she said, eyes flicking towards his hair. "Though I could accuse you of copying me."

"Hey, it was a hot look," he replied. "And not at all boring."

"I've definitely got to agree with that last part," she said, moving her hand to run through his hair.

He closed his eyes at that. "You and I don't do boring."

"Which is good," said Jaina, "since I think we'd be very bad at it."

John peered at her, "You're willing to be bad at something? With me, of course."

"I'm bad at plenty of things," she said. "I think we'd fail at normal, so technically, we're already bad at it together."

"I can deal with that," he said, slinging his leg over hers. "How tired are you after your trip?"

"Not very," she admitted. "I've got to get readjusted to the time here. You can sleep if you need to."
