Fourth Floor Common Room, Evening

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Taking a break from reviewing lists of things to do for the Fourth of July, Isabel wandered out to the common room and turned on the TV to reruns of CFD: Criminal Forensic Dectectives. Two minutes into it, she shook her head, wondering how it was that every time she watched the show, she saw the same episode. Still, it beat watching the stupid home videos show.

"Good lord, if I'd have known people were bringing food, I'd have never started on this rice." She regards the pan. "Although, I guess if anyone wants some, it's fair game."

"Hi, my name's Conner McKnight, and I like rice," Conner tells her with a smile. "Variety's good, anyway."

"Well, Conner McKnight, you're welcome to have some if you'd like. I even have soy sause."

"I'm Sakurazaki. I think you were in my cabin, actually, but we never got around to meeting. Puffin, right?"

"I'd love some," Conner says. "Nice to meet you, Sakurazaki, and yeah, I was in Puffin. Only I spent more time out of the cabin than in it."

"That explains it, although I was out and about a lot, too." Put more rice in the pan? No; what the heck are you talking about?

Conner could've sworn there wasn't that much rice in the pan a second ago. Or maybe he's just crazy. "Well, you haven't switched cabin assignments, have you? We'll have to hang out sometime, this time around."

"Of course not!" Sakurazaki smiles brightly. "I loved being in Puffin, wouldn't want to be anywhere else. So we definately should try to hang out a bit."

"Cool. You're on." Conner grins at her. "I'll try and be more social this time around. I was kind of distracted by looking for, um, a friend of mine who was invisible at the time."

"I imagine that can be kind of difficult." Sakurazaki tries to recall what she spent her free time doing during that time. Oh, yeah! "I was busy stalking a friend in another cabin for an assignment from home. I didn't do a very good job at that one..."

"Stalking?" Conner asks, kind of surprised at how casually she says it.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Heee, yeah." Blushing, Sakurazaki scratches at the back of her neck. "Although it really wasn't so much stalking as it was hanging out a lot outside of his cabin..."

And it isn't until after she says it that she realizes how bad it might sound to one not in the ninja-ing business. The blush deepens.

"My brother used to do that to me," Conner says thoughtfully. "He'd lurk outside my room in the middle of the night. Drove me crazy. He said it was practice, but he never could be sneaky."

Sakurazaki chuckles a little. "I'm pretty sneaky; I would've got away with it if it weren't for you pesky kids dropping my notebook on account of..." Remember why she dropped the notebook, Sakurazaki decides to stop there.
