Fourth Floor Common Room

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Han is feeling better. In fact, he's feeling good enough that he's up and cooking.

There are three pizzas, home-made from crust to topping, just being taken out of the kitchenette oven.
He's got his holo player hooked up and the great comedy The Adminstrator-Brigadier starring the amazing redheaded funnyman Kenny Daye is just starting.

Anyone who wants to laugh along at the mishaps of a penniless bumbler mistaken for a powerful bureaucrat is welcome to stop in.

The Castle Fool, The Sickly Soldier and The Storyteller of a northern land are stacked nearby.

Yep, it's a Daye marathon


[[ooc: That would be Danny Kaye in The Inspector General, The Court Jester, Up in Arms and Hans Christian Anderson]]

Lana came in after her trip to the gym. "Hey, Han!" She smiles at him. "Oh you, look sooo much better!"

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"Feeling better too. Thanks for shopping." He pours himself a large glass of juice. "You want some pizza? I have plenty."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Anytime. You know I'd do anything for you. Though... between you and Shep I'm going to get my very own chair at the clinic, you know."

She comes in and checks out the food. "Pizza actually sounds really good right about now."

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"It's fresh. Got some silly holos and I'll worry about the homework backlog tomorrow."

He takes a couple slices and sits on the sofa. "Maia doing OK? I mean between me getting hurt and Buffy leaving, it's been rough on her."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I haven't seen much of her," Lana admits. "And I was in a pretty bad space myself last time I saw her..." She sighs. "I'll have to make sure to check up on her."

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"I'll catch up to her too. So, anything interesting happen in Fandom while I was laid up?"

He snickers at the holo.

Lana took a piece of pizza and joined him on the couch. "Dr. Wilson and Aziraphale and Dr. House left. Phoebe's marrying Crowley. Kiki got herself hurt or sick somehow, but is better now."

She sighs. "And Shep's away for the weekend. And I miss him."

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"Knew Shep was gone. I'm feeding the kids."

He takes a drink of juice. "So who has the clinic now? Hope they left the records, because the Vice Principal and counselor went a little pale when Maia told 'em I wasn't mainstock human."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I don't know who's running the clinic. I'm just hoping no one gets hurt badly till they get new doctor's in. Though the vice-principal and the counselor did really well with the snow monster incident."

Lana looks thoughtful. "Did you get caught up in the whole singing epidemic yesterday? Now that was strange even for Fandom. I found myself singing - and dancing even - and at times it was like I almost had no control over what I was doing."

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

He nods. "Yeah. it was like an off-version of one of those songs Dr. House likes. the guy with the real low voice. Money?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Money?" Lana looks confused for a minute. "Oh! Cash! Johnny Cash. He named his dog after him."

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"Right. Weird town."

He has another piece of pizza.

"You know, I came real close to making a call, asking for a weekend pass, and never coming back. Snowmen, both the meltable kind and all those troopers in town were just about the last straw."

Lana's heart stops for a second. "Han... no." She puts the pizza down, suddenly feeling sick to her stomach.

She sits very still on the couch, afraid to look directly at him. "Are you... are you leaving me too? I mean, I understand if you need to go," she says, trying to be brave about it. "But..."

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

He sets his stuiff dwn and wraps his arms around her. "No, doll, I'm not. Not unless I absolutely have to. Life-or-death situation. Otherwise, I'll be in 402 until the end of the year."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

She buries her head in his chest. "Okay. Okay, then," she says, trying not to cry. "I don't think I could take it if you left, too."

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

"Only going if the only alternative is getting shot, okay?"

He shifts her around, still a little tender but not really sore, until they are both comfortable.

He clicks off the holo and cuddles her.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Lana repeats into his chest. She wraps her arms around him and lets him soothe her.
