Still leery of the energy emanating from the 2nd Floor Common Room, Bridge decides to move up a floor. He's sprawled on a couch, reading a book he'd bought from the Book Fair, with several other books spread out on the couch around him.

Parker swallowed, then laughed a little. "I'm sorry if I freaked you out. Yesterday was just one long nightmare. Mostly because it seemed plausible."

"It's okay," Bridge shrugs. "Are *you* doing okay?" He asks, concerned.

Parker looked down at her hands. Her father still hadn't called back. "Not especially."

"We'll make this better." Bridge says, voice solemn.

She probably didn't look convinced. "If it comes back again, I will not be responsible for what I do." Her mouth quirked. "But I think killing things will definitely help."

"We've handled this sort of thing before, we can do it again," Bridge says, and then laughs. "Sorry. I think eternal optimism is pretty much an entrance requirement for the Academy. You can't exactly give five people the responsibility of defending a planet if they don't believe they can do it."

"Or you're insane." But Parker was smiling again. "Okay. Fair enough. I think this just hit close to home. Although? I know the people we've got here can handle themselves. So that helps."

Bridge sticks his tongue out in response to the "insane" remark.

Parker grinned, and stuck hers out back at him. "Myself included."
