Animal-Balancing Contest (evening, FHT - first floor lobby)

Rory arrived in the lobby balancing a tank with a wee turtle in it against one hip, a box from J,GOB in the opposite arm, and a flying puppy on a leash leading her.

She tied Vladdie to the leg of a table, set Yoda's tank and the cake down, and looked around to see what she still needed to set up.

[Yes, even crack-addled ideas like this need OCD threads. Wait for 'em. They're up, but play on the contest itself won't start until 5:30 EST.

ETA: And yes, it originally said it was in the afternoon. This is now set about 8:30 PM FHT.

SON OF ETA: You can eat cake now. Rufus is here!]

He nods slowly. "I understand that. We should probably talk about that? Not here though."

"Definitely," she agrees. There are ways to do this sort of thing right, and she'd rather take that option.

She nods, and wonders how they got to scheduling talks. "I'll come by after classes," she says. "And I can see what you did to the DRD."

"Works for me," he says. "Until then, I'll just let thoughts of you distract me," he murmurs.

Aeryn just looks at him.

"What?" John smiles at her. "I can think about you. It's not illegal."

"That depends on what you're thinking," she says slowly.

"Good thoughts," He assures. "Very good thoughts."

Aeryn's both curious and not wanting to encourage him. "Shh," she tells him instead, thinking that'll about cover it both ways.

John just grins at her. A stupid, lopsided, cheesy grin.

Aeryn shakes her head. Tomorrow. They'll talk about this tomorrow. And she's not letting his grinning make her smile.

He keeps on smiling. And, when she looks back up at him, he makes a silly face.

"You need help," she tells him conversationally.

"You can help me, if you want," he says just as casually.

"I doubt it," she says, and really thinks they need to have that talk.

John shrugs one shoulder. "When I say goodnight to the sea monkeys tonight, I'll tell that that you're thinking of them."

"...You say good night to the sea monkeys?"

"Yes," John nods. "And Bertram. And Sean. And Toasty."

"It's alive," John argues. "And I'm a nice guy!"

"Tell me this is a new thing," she says. Because if it's new, she can blame it on his mental lapse that he obviously had while she was gone, and doesn't mean she's been oblvious.

Aeryn rubs her forehead and thinks leaving the room may have been a bad idea because everyone here is crazy.

John just laughs and finds himself content with just standing next to her, watching the insanity and know she's feeling better.
