John lay down in his dorm room, nursing a slight headache.

Hon?

Kiki paused in the doorway, hoping she didn't look as disquieted as she felt. She laughs, a trifle nervously. "No, no, it's not marijuana. It's a medicinal herb that my mother grows in her garden. It's magical." She stopped, flustered. "I mean, not magical in that way, magical as in belonging to true magic and you won't find in any ordinary botanical book; my mom uses it in her potions. It really does help colds a lot."

John relaxed. I mean, this was Kiki. Despite her flirtings with Crowley, she's got a near-freakin'-halo.

"Thanks. I mean, it's you, so, I wasn't worried, but, still. Ya hear about 'magic herb' and you start thinking a little more MaryJane and mushrooms, y'know?"

John tilted his head a little. "You're a true friend, Keeks. I might hafta owe ya one."

Kiki's smile suddenly looked a trifle more genuine as she looked back at him. "No worries," she said, "just... um - just take care of Sydney, okay?"

John sighed. "I will. I'm worried. If this keeps up, I'll drag her to the clinic." John looked towards the bathroom.

"Um, yeah. I've been trying to go over the Assassin thing, and I'll definitely need help figuring that out, if you're willing."

"Right, sure," Kiki answered somewhat mechanically, resting one hand on the door frame. "Just let me know when. Um - I've got a lot of reading I need to finish for Professor Chaucer, so I'll catch up with you later, ok?"

"Sounds good. If ya wanna drop buy later, we could go over the Assassin ground rules."

John's not insensitive, he's just male. And therefore clueless.

"Right, sure," Kiki repeated. "Later."

She vanished from the doorway and as soon as she heard the sound of the door shutting behind her, she heaved a huge sigh of relief. Kiki made a beeline for her room.
