Room 313, Monday after 4th period

[solo_sword]

After class, Jaina went back to her room to move in. She was an extremely light packer, so it took about two minutes to unpack, especially when she knew most of it would just end up going back upstairs. And she'd wonder about that for a second, because somehow she never really realized she did that.

And for as much as she'd never really had a permanent home in recent memory, she had to take a second to flop down on her bed, just because it was her bed, and she was used to it, and there were full walls and a door she could close and there was one roommate, not seven... Yes, she really had gotten spoiled here somehow.


[Open door, open post. Apparently I am just posting posting posting today.]

John stuck his head in the door. "Ben thinks I'm already dead."

[solo_sword]

"I heard," Jaina said, waving him in. "He brought up the flight shed, too. And yet somehow I got through class."

"Amazing," he said, checking out the other side of the room as he joined her. "Did you suggest he do everything he could to stop me from dying tomorrow?"

[solo_sword]

"I somehow doubt he has that kind of influence," she said, frowning. "Tahiri did ask if there was anything she could do, maybe I should have suggested it..."

"Well, it's too late now," John told her. "Better kiss me goodbye while you can."

[solo_sword]

"You'll get the kiss," Jaina told him. "I don't think we'll need the goodbye."

"Hey, I won't be the one beating myself up for missing out," John replied. "I've accomplished everything imaginable."

[solo_sword]

"Have you now?" she asked, propping herself up on her elbows.

"Oh yeah, it's all downhill from here," he teased. "Make some room." Normally he would just flop but she was taking up space for once, whatever that was about.

[solo_sword]

"Sure, order me around in my own room," she said, not that she didn't move over anyway.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"It was either that or move you myself," he replied, mimicking her position propped on his elbows.

[solo_sword]

"I missed out on manhandling? You should have warned me," she teased, making herself comfortable.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Now you wanna be manhandled?" He leaned his shoulder against hers. "Maybe we should start over."

[solo_sword]

"Probably for the best that we don't," she smiled, bumping against him lightly. "It'd be bad to potentially traumatize Valentine on the first day back in."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"But trauma is a Fandom staple," John pointed out.

[solo_sword]

"Maybe it'd be best to ease into the trauma. Especially when I'm not even done unpacking yet."

"There's a fine art to living out of a duffel bag." John had just done it for two weeks.

[solo_sword]

"That part I'm used to. I mean, you've seen me pack," she said.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John snickered, "You mean the part where you just grab and shove?"

[solo_sword]

"It's effective when you don't keep a lot of stuff," she explained. And get used to moving quickly.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

There was no keeping much of anything with these two. "This talk of packing reminds me I should do laundry."

[solo_sword]

"I don't think we've ever had a conversation culminate in laundry before," she mused.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"It's a laundry sort of day," John rationalized. He should be nice and clean for his final day. "Nothing better to do."

[solo_sword]

"Is that a hint that you're bored?" she asked.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

He was in her room now, wasn't he?

"You kidding me? This place is hopping."
