Room 313, Thusday evening

[solo_sword]

Jaina was liking June less and less the longer it went on, because that meant it was ending soon. And whenever there was something she didn't want to deal with, she simply didn't, and buried herself in work instead.

There was less work at the moment than there was going through messages, though. It might ctually be time for a visit soon. By the time she got to the one from her parents, she realized she was missing certain people too much not to.

"It wasn't the first time the subject came up," she said. "That's not even what this is about. I don't even know what it's about right now." It was possible she was having a harder time dealing with this than she knew.

"This has nothing to do with me," he told her, giving her a squeeze. "Other than trying to help."

[solo_sword]

She gave a small smile she didn't really feel at all. "I've got to try to prevent it."

"I know," he nodded. He'd also had a full week to process this already.

There was a very large part of her that just wanted to just lock herself in here and curl up with him and stay here for as long as humanly possible and just forget everything.

"This may be an argument against specializing in your field," she said, trying for light instead.

At this point he'd be willing to go along with that if he had any clue.

"There's lots of arguments against that," he replied.

"I'm going to go back soon. See him before I end up getting caught up in everything like usual," she mused. "As soon as I figure out what to say that's not condemning him for something he hasn't done."

"You'll think of something," John replied. "Want me to come along?" Not that he knew when she was thinking of going.

[solo_sword]

"Of course," she replied immediately. "But I don't know that it'll be while you're here." She hated saying that, she really did.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Oh, right." That might be a problem for going along.

[solo_sword]

"We'll figure out logistics," she told him, completely assuming theycould.

He considered the possibility that their classes could line up and give him nice, long weekends free.

"Right, we'll have weekends and things anyway."

[solo_sword]

"We'll manage it. We're good like that." And she was not considering for a second that they wouldn't, especially not right now.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"We are, it's a thing," he agreed, giving her a squeeze.

[solo_sword]

She slid an arm around him comfortably. "Thanks."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Love means never having to say thanks," he deadpanned, thinking himself funny.

[solo_sword]

Good job, John, she actually kind of laughed at hat, and she loved him that much more for managing that.
