Second Floor Common Room

Edward is camped out on the couch, his Chemistry book on his lap and a cup of coffee at hand. The TV was on as background noise but he isn't really watching it, and if one were to peer closely at his notebook, they might see doodles of badly mangled snowmen.

Sakura wandered by, being entirely as ADD as she had been for the past two days, then pauses. Wait. That blond antennae was familiar.

She grinned, and walked over, flopping onto the couch with a grin. "Hey, you."

Edward looked up and smiled back at Sakura. "Hey, Sakura. What's up?"

Sakura seemed highly amused by something. Still grinning, she shrugged. "Not a lot," She leaned backward into the couch to look at his notebook. "More alchemy stuff?" she asked, eyeing him after surveying the notes. She frowned. "...wait, are those snowmen?"

He very quickly shuffled his stuff around so he could flip the notebook closed. "No," he lied through his teeth, trying to look innocent. "No, of course they're not. They're, um... esoteric arrays!"

Sakura laughed. "And you wonder why I call you a dork." She shakes her head at him, lacing her fingers together in her lap. "Y'know your brother stayed in my room the other night," she commented absently. Still leaning into the back of the couch, she unlaces her fingers and curls her legs onto the couch with her, knees together but ankles to the sides. She reached forward and gripped her ankles with her hands, leaving her sitting rather awkwardly. Surprisingly, it was quite comfortable.

"I am *not* a dork," Ed pouted at her. "And how is Al? I haven't seen him since Saturday, and I almost missed the stupid campus beautification meeting thing, when I snuck in to sign the roster he hadn't been there either."

Sakura smiled at him. "Yes, you are. ...But it's part of your charm." She shook her head at his pouting. "He's caught a bit of a cold -- I blame you two running around in the snow all night and then the damned snowmen -- but I think he's all right." She pauses. "Come to think of it, I haven't seen him around much either." She frowns. "Hope he's okay."

"Ah, I'm sure he's fine," Edward said. "And, I am going to laugh in his face when I see him. A little snow made him sick?" He snorted in amusement.

Sakura shot him a look, sticking her tongue out. "Well maybe not everyone in the world has an immune system of steel," she chided, fwapping his arm lightly. "You never seem to get sick, how do you do it?" She let her feet slip off the couch again, leaning so her arms were folded resting on her thighs. "Hmm?"

"You kidding?" Edward returned in amusement. "I sleep all the damn time. That helps. A lot."

Sakura frowns. "...Apparently," She shakes her head. "I can't sleep that much, gives me a headahce." She absently taps two fingers to one of her temples, shrugging.

Anders shuffled up to the second floor and into the common room, where he eased himself down onto one of the new armchairs, holding his ribs. "It should not take that long to climb the stairs, man, I swear," he said, groaning. Just before he closed his eyes, he peered over at Edward and Sakura. "Hey. How's it goin' tonight?"

Edward nodded at Anders. "It's going all right, I guess - this not having classes on Tuesday and Thursday thing is nice. How did you hurt yourself?"

"Lucky you. I've got all my classes on Tuesday and Thursday now except for Driver's Ed." He cracked an eye back open and squinted at Edward. "It was when the snow monsters attacked detention. One of 'em threw me into the wall. It was fun. Really. You come out of it okay?"

"I guess I missed you getting thrown into the wall then." Edward frowned, trying to remember. "I was fine. I set someone's notebook on fire and melted one of the monsters, then I wandered around and ~~jumped out of trees screaming like a lunatic at them~~ dealt with a couple random ones."

"More than I did, man." Anders shook his head. "I didn't even get a chance to throw a chair or anything."

Sakura blinks. She doesn't know Anders, but she's always up for talking. She inclines her head toward him in wordless greeting.

"Hey." Anders gives her a vague but friendly smile. "'m Anders. I'm also usually more upbeat than this but there's a whole pain thing going on right now."

"Sakura," she replies, frowning. "And I see that... seems those snowmen did a surprising amount of damange," she adds, shaking her head.

"Yeah, 's what I heard," he agrees. "Least, if the amount of craziness going on down in the gym where they had all the injured people was any clue. How 'bout you? You get in on any of the snow action?"

[['s okay. I ended up taking a loooooooooong nap last night. Oops.]]

"Well that's good," she nods to his comment about the gym, then makes a contemplatively surprised face. "...I got in on it -- burned the everloving crap out of some of those annoying little ray-gun bastards--" she pauses, making a face. She blamed Edward for her language. All his fault, really. "...ahem." She clears her throat, then continues. "...but surprisingly, I didn't get hurt. Maybe a little chilled, but that went for just about everyone."

"Yeah, we were all kinda freezing our butts off there, weren't we?" Anders grins, not really batting an eye at her language since, well, he's never really met Sakura before and anyway, that's the sort of thing he's used to. "Still, doesn't look like we lost anybody, which is good. Though I think some of the people here who've never seen snow before might be a little put off by it. For, like, the rest of their lives."

He tilts his head a bit. "Burned 'em? What, d'you get a hold of a flamethrower or something?"

[['s okay. I was out at lunch. Guh.]]
