Outside Seahorse: Monday Morning

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack blamed it on the disturbingly fresh air and the presence of nature, but for some reason he was awake far too early, and filled with the urge to go for a run.

He pulled on a pair of tiny denim cut-offs, laced up his shoes, and headed out to enjoy the wonders of nature.

He returned thirty minutes later - panting, sweaty, and feeling vaguely sore but quite satisfied - and threw himself down on the grass outside his cabin.

Isabel doesn't have workshops on Monday. She tried sleeping in, but the sounds of seven other people had her awake a little earlier then she would have liked. Cup of alien-fu heated coffee in hand, she headed out the door to see exactly what morning in the woods would be like. Pretty was her first thought as she came across Jack in front of Stickbug.

"Morning Sunshine!"

Jack grinned up at her. "Izzy! You are looking glorious this morning." He patted the ground next to him. "Pull up some grass and tell me what you've been up to."

She sank gracefully to the ground next to him, wrapping her arms around her legs to keep warm. "Not much. Just hanging out, packing up, and moving down here. How about you?"

"This morning I'm excellent. Feeling virtuous because I went for a run, and now I'm just being lazy, enjoying the crisp morning air." Noticing how she was sitting, and the coffee she was holding, he asked, "Are you cold? And I don't suppose you want to share that coffee?"

"I'm going to have to go for a run later on. And since we're here in the great outdoors, I suppose I should actually run someplace as opposed to just crusing along on a threadmill or trainer." She smiled and passed over her coffee. "I hope you don't mind French vanilla. I do hope it gets warmer today. But this is nice, if nippy."

Jack sat up and acccepted the coffee with a smile, and took a not-huge sip before handing it back. "Thank you. Greater love has no friend that she shares her morning coffee, and french vanilla? Delicious." Shifting closer, he wrapped an arm around her, snugging her close. "The least I can do in return is help keep you warm."

Isabel wrinkled her nose and poked at his ribs. "Be glad I like you. Very few sweaty people would get away with this."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

He laughed, and snugged her closer. "You'll be one of us soon enough, Izzy. And hey, I'm almost dry!" he protested. "What have you go on today apart from running. Any workshops? Anything exciting?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Nope, Mondays and Thursdays I think are free. So I'll go for run and then just hang out and watch the pretty wander by." She rested her head against his shoulder and sighed happily. "So who exactly is in your cabin?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I'm free every day that's not Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. I think. I have to check that."

He echoed her sigh happily. "And my cabin has the pretty I think you're looking for." There was no other way to describe him except: Smug. "Both the Winchester brothers, Sam and Dean, Dean's double Alec, Girl Sam, Jaye, D'anna who I don't really know yet, and Cedric."

"I think I'll be spending a lot of time right here," Isabel laughed. "Along with most of the female students." She tilted her head and studied him, "So you and Cedric are getting to be good friends?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I'm thinking of selling tickets," Jack replied with a laugh. "And yeah, Cedric's...nice. He bought me a plant." Jack gave a half shrug, careful not to dislodge Izzy. "Not sure why, but I now have a plant."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"If you sell tickets, I'll sell popcorn. We could make a fortune," she said, chuckling softly. "A plant? I didn't know you liked plants."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Together we'll make our fourtunes." Jack ducked his head. "I didn't, I don't think. I don't really know. There was a dead plant in my room when he came visiting, and then there was a live plant, which he bought me. It's a bit strange, really."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It's not strange. It's nice," she said. "Possibly sweet even."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Izzy." Jack slanted her a look. "Is sweet really a word you associate with me?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Not usually, no," Isabel smiled. "But even you're entitled to some sweetness once in a while."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Hmmph." Jack snagged her coffee, took a quick gulp, and handed it back. "I think it's time for you to explore the rest of our campground," he said, but he gave her a little squeeze at the same time. "Leave us cyncical, non-sweet people to enjoy our mornings."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Fine. chase me away," she pouted as she climbed to her feet. "I guess I'll just go off and see if I can find some more pretty to look at." Isabel ruffled his hair, "I'll see you later Jack."
