Second Floor Common Room - Lateish Evening

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

After putting in an appearance at Jack's party, Rory retrieved Vladdie from her room and changed into the cozy, cozy jammies Jake had given her for Christmas.

She hopped out into the common room, set Vladdie down on the floor, and took up the remote while keeping the puppy carefully in her sights.

Ivanova smiled. "Yes. Maybe. Probably. Yes." She smiled apologetically. "And the award for vaguest answer goes to . . . I just don't want to jinx anything. I haven't had the greatest of luck in that arena. You?" She may have waggled her eyebrows a bit.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Ditto," Angel said. "About the luck I mean. But, uh, yeah. Callisto. It'll be a first for both of us."

Ivanova grinned. "Congratulations. I suggest chocolate. But that may just be the chocolate pimping I'm paid for talking."

"You work over at Wonka's?" Angel guessed.

"Got it in one, no prize," she replied with a smile. "I fear for my figure while I'm playing hopalong."

"They got you doing any stretches or anything?" Angel asked. "Not the same as weights and a heavybag, but better than nothing."

Ivanova shook her head. "Dr. Pevensie seemed rather at a loss with what to do with me. I've been doing what I always do when injured - ignore it until I fall over in pain. Er, almost falling over."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I get that," Angel said. "Not much for painkillers myself."

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"Finally!" Ivanova burst out. "Someone who agrees with me! Everyone I run into seems to want to drug me unconscious." So she wasn't above a bit of hyperbole.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Can't stand it," Angel said. "I figure if I can handle it what's the big deal?"

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"Exactly my point," Ivanova gleed over her new-found ally. "Can I count on you for a rescue next time I'm chased down the hall with a sedative?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Angel said. "Far as I'm concerned if somebody can do without then leave 'em alone."

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"An excellent attitude to have," she smiled. "I take it you find yourself in scrapes requiring drugs more than your average high school student?"

Angel rubbed his side where he'd been stuck with a sword last week. You couldn't tell he'd been hurt by looking at him. "You could say that. Got a few people who wouldn't mind seeing me in pain. Got a few not-people who feel the same way."

Ivanova nodded in understanding. She hadn't encountered that at Fandom, but had had enough people and not-people after her that she could sympathise. "Some of our extracurricular activities are more interesting than others."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"L'il bit," Angel agreed. "Like the snowmonster thing. That one'll be hard to put on a resume. I'm guessing."

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

Ivanova made the international 'I'm reading something in midair' gesture. "Helped to organise and launch psuedo-military assualt on heat-challenged non-humans in defense of high school gymnasium." She grinned. "I am definitely putting that on my next transfer request."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Not bad," Angel said. "See? Much better with words than I am."

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

Ivanova shrugged, looking modest. "It's a talent, I'm sorry to say."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Not one that I'll ever posseses," Angel said. "It's all people, and talking to them. I'm bad on all levels of that."

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"We just held a perfectly lovely conversation with very few verbal mishaps," Ivanova assured him. "You must be improving with practice."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Angel grinned. "I did come to school to learn."

[ooc: Must off to bed. Night!]

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome," she replied graciously. "Mission mostly accomplished then."

[[Night!]]
