Third Floor Common Room, Lunchtime

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

After a handwavey walk into town for supplies, Dawn set out a bunch of sandwich fixings, pretzels, chips of various descriptions, cookies, fruit, lemonade, iced tea, and soda.

A small handwritten sign told people to help themselves, so she didn't have to keep repeating herself.

As for Dawn, she sat down with a book to enjoy her hummus with cheese, sprouts, carrots and sweet pickles. Occasionally she sipped from her lemonade.


[ooc: Open to all, mod any sandwich fixings or side items you'd like.]

Dean shrugged. "Some kind of demon, I think, he never said on the phone and he was kinda vague about it when he dropped us off."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Did he say how long it was going to take? And how can he hunt a demon when he doesn't know what it is?" Dawn glared, arms folded across her chest.

"He said he thought he'd be done in a month at the longest," Dean said, looking at Dawn warily, not understanding why she suddenly seemed pissed off. "And he didn't know exactly what he was dealing with when he dropped us off because he hadn't got there to look into it yet. I'm sure he does now; we just didn't talk about that Sunday."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Dawn forced herself to calm down. "Sorry. I just worry that you're going to go off and fight demons and be at a disadvantage because you don't know what you're up against."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Dad would never have us go up against anything blind if he could help it," Dean reassured her.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Right." She forced a smile, but the truth was, as much as she trusted Dean and Sam, she didn't trust their father. "Just me being silly. Forget it."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Dad's a great man," Dean said, sensing Dawn's ambivalance and trying to reassure her. "Sammy and I told him about you and Buffy -- he really wants to meet you."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"He does?" Oh, yeah, that was terror.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." He looked at her a little bewildered by her reaction. "Everything we've told him has been good. He's going to love you."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah, I'm sure," she said weakly. "He's got two boys who hunt demons, and I can't even defend myself against a human."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"You haven't had a lifetime of training like Sammy and me," Dean pointed out reasonably. "You can learn the skills, but you already got the heart for it."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Is it going to be enough, though?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"To impress Dad in what a great girlfriend I got? Hell, yeah."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

She smiled at him. "I just don't want him to fight with you because he doesn't like me. He's your dad, after all. I'm just being stupid and nervous. Ignore me."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Ignoring you would be beyond my abilities," Dean told her earnestly. "Relax. He's going to love you. Promise."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"If you say so," she said, not completely convinced, but not wanting to argue about it. "I'm glad you got to talk to him, though."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean smiled. "Yeah, me too." He cocked his head as he regarded her. "What about you? You've had any calls from home?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

She shook her head, and answered before she really thought about it. "No, just a package. They're busy, though, so I'm not surprised."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, seems everyone's busy. But it's good that you got mail at least. What did they send you?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Um..." Yeah, she was gonna kill Faith, "condoms."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean blinked. "I'm sorry, did you just say..."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

She nodded and was glad Dean hadn't seen the size of the box. "Please don't make me repeat it?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Who would send you a package full of...?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Faith."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"The one with the leather pants?" Dean grinned. "I think I want to meet this Faith."
