Tuesday Night - 4th Floor Common Room

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair had Hank's pot and a bag of potting soil on the floor of the common room and was playing in the dirt busy repotting the plant. Ever so often he glanced up at the tv to watch COPS and offer commentary on police states.

"Yeah, tomorrow is busy for me too. Angel is teaching me self defense tomorrow morning and then I've got classes."

"So Thursday? Can you bring all your notes from class?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly was going for innocent, but looked a little guilty when she said, "yeah, I'll bring all my notes. No problem."

"You're going to learn self defense from Angel?" She asked with interest. "He's a good teacher. He showed me how to use my stake," she added with a grin.

"Cool. I'll see what I can research before then." He raised his eyebrows and frowned. "You and Angel fought with meat?"

[what class is he helping her with?]

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly laughed. "No, not meat steaks. Wooden stakes. To use when fighting vampires."

[[OOC: She mentioned Western Civ and that's probably all she'll bring this time, but she'll end up asking for help with other classes too.]]

"Wooden stakes, huh? Weird." He looked at Molly carefully. "So you fight vampires and stuff? Like all...grrrr?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly shrugged and started to play with some of the potting soil. "Just the once a few weeks ago. But, I fought other kinds of bad guys all the time before I came here."

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Blair tossed her a plastic spoon and a yogurt cup. "I know you probably hear this a lot, but I hope you're safe and stuff. I would be sad if you got hurt."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly picked up the yogurt cup and began to fill it by hand. "I don't really get hurt ever," she told him with a smile. "It's part of my mutant powers. Even if I get hit hard enough to knock me out, I just fall asleep and wake up fine."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"That's uh...good." Blair wasn't really sure what to say. "I'm glad you don't get hurt."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly thought as she patted more soil into the yogurt cup. "I really should talk to Angel about teaching me again. He said he could show me how to fight better, but I haven't asked him about it again. I joined Bridge's Fight Club, but it's only met once and I don't know how much I'll learn there since a lot of them only want to spar."

Having finally filled the cup to her satisfaction, she offered it back to Blair.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair accepted the cup and looked at it. "Do you want to a seed to plant in it?"

"I bet Angel's a really good teacher. But you should talk to him about it. Want me to ask him tomorrow?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Nah," she said with a shake of her head. "I don't care if you mention it to him, but I can ask him myself."

She looked at the cup of dirt in Blair's hand. "What kind of seed could I plant?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair dug a packet of seeds out of his pocket and handed one over. "These are Hank's siblings. I don't know what sort of plant he is because Hank isn't growing for me. But the ones I gave to Dr. House and Azzy sprouted little green leaves."

"Or I could go find something all flowery in town. I'm sure the stores have girly plants." He grinned happily.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly grinned at him and accepted the seed. "Nah. I'm fine with one of..." she looked over at the pot with the truck on it, "Hank's?... siblings."

She took the cup she had filled back from Blair and made a hole in the dirt with her finger. After dropping the seed into the hole, she patted the dirt back in place with a happy grin.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Congratulations! It's a...well...you get to decide what it is." Blair bounced. "And name it!"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Name it? Okay!" She tilted her head and looked up in thought. "Hmmm, I think I'll name it after one of my friends, but which one?"

She frowned a bit then looked back at him as a thought struck her. "Oh! I know. I'll name it Aeryn because even though I didn't know her very long, I liked her a lot. She was always really nice to me. And, unlike my other friends, I'll probably never see her again." She gave him a sad smile.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Aeryn's a good name for the plant. And I'm sure the other Aeryn would be honored." He smiled gently.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly patted the dirt again and then gave him a happier smile.

A sudden thought struck her. "Oh! Have you checked the cast list yet? Did you see that you got a part in the play?" she asked excitedly.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"I did! I'm Lysander and I have no idea who that is." Blair bounced and grinned. "I really need to go read a copy of the play. Did you get a part?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"I'm Peaseblossom!" she said with glee. "I get to play a fairy!" Molly was doing a fair amount of bouncing and grinning herself.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"That's so cool!" Bouncing and grinning seems to be an epidemic here on the fourth floor.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"I'm really excited," she said. "I've never been in a play before."
