VICTORY PARTY! - Second Floor Common Room

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

The monsters are defeated, and Rory and Parker have been sprung from the clinic.

Both girls made brief stops in their rooms for candy, snack food and drinks, and piled everything on the counter of the common room kitchen.

The TV's on, sound muted, and the stero's blaring "We Are the Champions."

Come celebrate kicking their cold, white asses, people.

"The oil was genius," Anakin said, nodding. "And so was the coffee. We had Bel, you know, with his flaming, and Logan with a flame thrower, then a lot of guns that just kind of made them cranky. Jumping on them was almost as effective, really, and what kind of battle strategy is that?"

He smiled. "How did you use coffee as a restorative?"

"Lee took a magic snowball or something to the face, and ended up blue," Rory said seriously. "So I dumped my coffee on him, and it thawed him right out. Of course, we were so distracted with that that we ended up both getting hit with more snowballs," she pointed to her shoulder again, "but still. This weekend rules over zombie weekend so much, oh my God."

"I don't have to replace my robes for one thing," Anakin said, nodding. "Zombie goo just never washed out, you know? And Lee turned blue? Not a good color for him, I'm betting."

He shivered. "Sorry. Took a shower before I came down here, but it's gonna take me a bit to warm up." He shrugged, then winced at the pain in his shoulder. "Part of growing up in the desert. And this didn't really endear me to the white stuff."

Rory smiled. "I'm kinda cold, too, so hang on and I'll get us a blankie." She started to get up, leaning on the couch rather than allow her left leg to support any weight.

Anakin gave her a look. "Don't even think about moving that knee." He held out his hand. "Give me the key and I'll go get a blanket."

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory was too tired to fight, and handed him her key. "The blue one I was dragging around yesterday works, I think."

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

Anakin lifted her leg off of her lap. "I'll be right back," he said.

He left the common room, returning a few minutes later with a blue blanket.

He sat back down on the sofa and put Rory's leg back onto his lap, then tucked the blanket around both of them.

Nice thing about blankets? If she were to, say, try to hold his hand underneath it, no one would be able to see.

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory knew that was the nice thing about blankets, actually. Which is why she did not suggest he bring back two. So there might have been a small, thin hand gently threading its fingers through Anakin's.

"So how were things on the ground?" Rory asked, tilting her head at him.

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

He squeezed her hand. "Pretty ugly at points," he said honestly. "Most of us got banged up at a least a little."

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory winced. "Just your shoulder though?" She raised a brow. "Anyone get seriously hurt?"

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Sam got beaned in the back of the head by a coffee mug of all things. Lot of blood. Then she got bit by a snow shark."

Anakin snuggled a little more under the covers. If that brought him closer to Rory, well, these things happen. "Everyone thing else was pretty much bumps and bruises. And the cold."

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory froze.

"Oops," she said softly.

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Oops?" Anakin repeated. "What?"

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I think I know where the coffee mug came from," Rory said, biting her lip.

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"The roof," Anakin replied promptly. He looked at Rory. "You know who threw it?"

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Someone who has horrible aim and was throwing mugs," Rory said, slumping lower. "Do you know if she's okay?"

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Last I saw she and Shep were hobbling off to the clinic together, so I don't know. I was going to check on her tomorrow." Anakin looked hard at Rory. "Why?"

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Might've been me. An accident. I had no idea I hit anything but monsters, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who was throwing mugs," Rory said guiltily, slouching more.

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin put a hand over his face. "Whoops. Um, you're not the first person to have damaged someone in friendly fire?" He gave her a wry smile. "Chocolates might be a good idea, though."

He gave her hand a reassuring squeeze under the blanket.

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory sank lower. "There'll be chocolate. And massive, massive apologies. But lots of chocolate. I've stocked up, so that's not an issue."

She covered her face with her free hand, and returned the squeeze. "And I was all happy that I hadn't hurt anyone. Damn it."

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"It's okay," he said. "She was out there fighting for a long time after she got hit. If it had been serious, she would have left for the clinic immediately."

He decided not to mention the adrenline rush that happened in battle that made people ignore injuries. Rory felt badly enough.

He rested his free hand on her leg. "So what was the ruling on your knee? Stay off it for how long?"

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory shrugged with her good shoulder, not exactly feeling better about Sam, but also too tired to dwell on it when given an out.

"It's just bruised up. Dr. Pevensie bandaged it so I can't move it. Mostly it just hurts to support weight on it because it's tender. So...not very long, I expect. It's a bad bruise, though. Much worse than the one on my shoulder. I also bruise way too easily. Goes with the complexion."

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

"When you're ready to head to your room, let me know. I'll help you hobble," he said with a smile. "The bruise on my shoulder was turning a very nice shade of purple when I was looking at it in the shower earlier. Those snowmonster things threw hard."

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"We'll have to compare," Rory noted. "They really didthrow hard. And I'm pretty sure those snowballs had chunks of solid ice in them. So ow."

Re: General Chattering, ZOMG

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Totally ow," Anakin said, covering his mouth as he yawned. "Don't mind me," he said, closing his eyes. "I'm just resting for a minute. Fighting that long kind of took a lot out of me."
