Room 313, bright and early Monday morning

[solo_sword]

Jaina didn't have classes on Monday. She hadn't had any trouble sleeping. There hadn't been any great Fandom call to arms, even. And yet she was awake, because she wasn't sure how serious "bright and early" was.

She got ready as quietly as possible, then decided the best place to wait was back on her bed. Not sleeping, really. Or at least she was definitely awake enough to hear a knock.

She knew too many morning people.


[For ltcolkirk though the roomie's free to ping in if she wants to, and SP for great breakfast. Justice. I totally said justice.]

John couldn't help but shudder a little at the memory. "The stegosaurus was apparently allergic to my fake little sister. So we were sneezed on. Repeatedly."

[solo_sword]

If Jaina didn't say anything, she was trying not to laugh. Really hard.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John smirked at her restraint as he went outside. "Okay, so I told you something embarrassing. I think I deserve to hear something in return."

[solo_sword]

"Oh, that's not bad," she said, not at all stalling. "I can't count amount of times I had to trudge back home all covered in goo from a ship."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Sure," he said, noticing she was stalling. "But I wanted to hear something embarrassing. So...tell!"

[solo_sword]

"Fine," she said. "I once got the hiccups in the middle of a very fancy diplomatic reception thing. Obviously back in the day when I thought that would be fun. Right when they key note speaker was giving his speech. And the entire way through, with my brother trying not to laugh at me. And then this went on for about half an hour afterwards. If you watch the holo, you can still hear it, and I'm the one he's glaring at the whole way through."

John didn't do a very good job of suppressing his laughter. "Now that is embarrassing!"

[solo_sword]

Now was not the time to remind him that she knew about the bunny cuddles, as she didn't want to have to tell another story. "Thank you. Happy now?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Pleased as punch," he grinned and then thought that might confuse her. "Meaning, yes."

He stretched his arms over his head. "You know, we can start running anytime you're ready."

[solo_sword]

"Well, you kept talking," she teased. "I'm ready. I need to see your run."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"And here I thought you were stalling," he teased before trotting off toward the preserve. "Come on, you don't want to stare at my back the whole time."

[solo_sword]

She did have to trail behind him a little when she got started. "...Of course not," she said, totally innocently as she caught up. "Why would I be stalling?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Because I get the feeling you don't like running," he said pointedly as he started moving faster.

[solo_sword]

She immediately sped up to keep pace. "I don't mind running. I mind the dawn hours of the morning."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"The early morning is great," he argued. "There's hardly anyone up at this time."

[solo_sword]

"It doesn't occur to you that that's because the sane people are still in bed?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"So you're saying I'm insane?"

[solo_sword]

"Only if you look at it a certain way," she said lightly.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"What does it say about you for agreeing to come along?"

[solo_sword]

"I'm all right with claiming temporary insanity," Jaina said, and she technically nodded, but that's hard to do when running.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Good to hear," John said. "So, how are you finding my run?"

[solo_sword]

"Very normal," she said approvingly, looking over at him. But she couldn't not tease. "And here I was hoping for bouncing, or arm-flailing..."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I can show you some arm-flailing if it would make you happy," he smirked.

[solo_sword]

Jaina grinned. "Oh, it would."

Smiling over at her, John attempted to flail and run at the same time. Hopefully Jaina was out of range of his wild arms.
