First Floor Lobby

Around 9 pm, Logan shuffles into the lobby, barefoot and wrapped in a ragged blanket. He has a bundle thrown over his shoulder, also wrapped in a threadbare blanket.

Callisto unclips the badge from her breastband. "The sit in was Logan's idea, using the tab Angelus set up at Deb's to provide refreshments for this little shinding was mine."

She clips the badge back on.

"Credit to you both, then," Tara nods calmly. She gestures to the food. "May I?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"If My Lady so desires. Pet would recommend the gingerbread."

[brambless.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, Pet." Tara selects a piece of gingerbread and finds herself a comfortable place to sit. To observe. For grading purposes. And love her students madly. Madly, I tell you!

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto inclines her head to Tara "If Pet may have My Lady's permission to resume what she was doing?"

[brambless.livejournal.com]

Tara shakes her head a little. "Pet does not need my permission. I am not her Master. However, I would be pleased if you would continue as if I were not here."

"If it pleases My Lady, of course." Callisto radiates a distinct air of smirking glee as she sits back down and resumes eating.

Very late at night almost as though he'd been on the beach with a certain someone and getting his vamp groove on for hours and hours saw Angelus returning to the dorms. He walked in through the main entrance, saw the scene, saw Callisto (having arrived too late to see Logan), and grinned.

He went over to where Callisto was, leaned against the wall, held up one hand for patience as he pulled his badge out of his outer coat pocket, pinned it on, then non-chalantly asked "So... what's new?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

With an air of complete serenity, despite being maybe three square feet of fabric away from a major wardrobe malfunction, Callisto replies. "Pet was waiting for Sir."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

There was a definite contrast between Callisto's outfit and his, as Angelus was dressed a step above his usual, as though he'd been somewhere important, albeit with sand.

"Were you?" he asked. "That's sweet. That almost makes me reconsider my decision not to stay out until sunrise. I feel like I'm stepping on your gesture of dedication here. Hmmm," he pretended to think about it. "I suppose I could leave and come back."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"If that is what Sir desires, Pet shall remain here waiting for him."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I'm in a very flexible mood at the moment," he shrugged. He looked around, taking in what remained of the scene. "So, who else was here?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"The others who had no place provided by their Masters. Pet is ashamed she had to admit to Sir's failing in this area, as she is sure he has his reasons for the lack."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I see," Angelus grinned, clearly not upset in the slightest. "And what was wrong with your room, which I know you were using since I agreed to send you flowers to it every day?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Goodfellow reminded Pet that she did not have Sir's permission to be using her room, and thus would be presumptuous of Pet to continue to do so. He also reminded Pet that since Sir had not approved Pet's clothing it would likewise be presumptuous for her to wear more than legally necessary."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Oh I see," Angelus said. "And did Pet ask me nicely for more than bare minimum clothing and shelter? Because I don't seem to recall that happening."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"While it is not Pet's place to question Sir, she would point out that Sir has not even provided that."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"And I'm going to again point out that you haven't asked me nicely," Angelus replied. "Which under the rules, I can require you to do. So how's about a pretty please?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Pet was unaware of that particular rule and begs Sir's forgiveness for her ignorance. She would also humbly request that Sir either provide bedding and clothing, or give her permission to use her own. Pretty please."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angelus made a sound of mock-disappointment. "Not anticipating my needs. Doesn't sound like the action of a slave I'd want to keep. But you're new, so I'll be forgiving. And yes, you have my permission to sleep in your bed, wear your own clothing, use the bathroom as needed, go to classes, do your schoolwork, shower or bathe when you get all dirty - the works. And here - " he took off his trenchcoat, holding it out for her to put on " - you can keep this until the assignment's finished. Something's telling me that this room is cold."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto inclined her head as she put the trenchcoat on. "Sir is too good to Pet, she shall endeavor to act in a manner more to Sir's liking in the future."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"And you're lucky I'm occasionally a gentleman because damn girl," he whispered into her ear as he helped her put on the coat, speaking too softly for anyone else to hear them.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

If it's possible to preform involuntary muscle movements in a smug fashion, Callisto does so. "Pet would also like to tell Sir that Goodfellow is everything she hoped for and more."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angelus glanced around to make sure nobody was looking then, still leaning in, whispered, "And which one's that again?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Having too much self-control to roll her eyes, Callisto replied. "Echolls. Sir does remember he told Pet she could speak with him."
