Early afternoon, Friday, 1st floor lobby

[soldtoarmenians]

Well, it's sort of Xander's common room now. In the way that it belongs to everybody, and most of his associations with it involve certain red-clad authority figures more than other students, and there's no kitchen. But anyway.

There's a kitchen in 121. He made brownies. Yes, from a box. They're on the table by the tv.

Which is playing a classic black&white First Mister episode of Mr. What, because it's a little late to try convincing anybody around here that he's not a geek.

With a purple frog. Who's watching from his tank on a conveniently-placed end table. Actually Jeremiah probably has the better view.

"Take your time, I guess. It's your prerogative," Rory said with a shrug.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, it is." Cameron agreed. "I don't want to be unfair on her, Rory."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I know you don't," Rory said. "And I'm overidentifying. So do what you have to."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Cameron said simply.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nodded. "And I'll stay out of it. Or try, anyway. Did you know that barely anyone's been talking to her about any of this?"

Cameron sighed. "No, I didn't. Considering how many people are bugging me."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I'll stay off your back, then," Rory said. "One less person bugging you."

"It's not... You've been a help. I just have my reasons and they're not as simple as Jaye and Vala," Cameron explained with a shrug.

"And it'd probably be easier to figure it all out without me interrogating you every other day," Rory acknowledged.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron tilted his head and smiled. "Yeah, just a little bit. But I know you mean well."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Well, I have no plans to punch you, if that helps," Rory said with a smirk.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron laughed. "Yeah, it kinda does."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"However, I stand by the Special Collections thing," she added, looking slightly more stern.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"You won't have to," Cameron promised.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Good. I'm trusting you on that." She grinned. "And you know it goes both ways, right? I'm not just playing overprotective library aide on Molly's behalf."

That got a smile out of Cameron. "I think that's officially a first. Thanks, Rory Shiny Knightess in Armour."

"You are very welcome," Rory said, nodding solemnly. "Of course, the question to wrangle a guy who's got a good six inches on me or a girl who could fling me across the room into SC against their will is raised, but I'll jump off that bridge when I come to it."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"We'll try not to get to the bridge. How's that?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I like that option," she said, nodding again.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, me too." Cameron had to agree.
