Second Floor Common Room, Sunday Morning

Conner bolted back upstairs after basketball practice and got ready for the World Cup final. As a result of his conversation with Nadia from Friday, he was dressed -- if one could call it that -- for the occasion in what was essentially an Italian-flag loincloth, and red, green, and white body paint.

Nobody was in the second floor common room, so he hijacked it for the cool TV and got comfortable (standing, because body paint) before the game started.

France vs. Italy. Plus, Julie Foudy at halftime. Last night might have been a fiasco, but today life was good.

Nadia sighed. "Well, okay. But I'm afraid I'm rooting against you, then," Nadia pointed to the Italian flag on her shoulder.

"Not at all," Peter said. "I'm hoping France loses too."

Nadia tilted her head. "Oh, yeah? Sorry, misunderstood. Yay!"

Peter grinned. "Up Italy!" He looked at Nadia more closely. "I heard Walter went home. Are you doing well?"

Nadia shrugged. "I'm okay. I'm worried, but I'm sure he'll be coming back."

"I'm sure he shall," Peter agreed. "If you ever need anything, I'd be honoured if you'd consider me a friend."
nadiathesaint: (split smile)

"Thank you. Of course I do."

Peter nodded. "I'm glad." He glanced at television. "I almost feel badly cheering against Zidane."
nadiathesaint: (cheerful)

"Think of it this way: most people are going to be rooting for Zidane. So you're rooting for the underdog."

"I like that logic," Peter agreed. "Plus rooting for France would really be against centuries of British tradition."
nadiathesaint: (what?)

"I guess that's true. What are we going to do for fun after the tournament's over, though?"

"Start a football team of our own?" Peter said.
nadiathesaint: (cheerful)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-09 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sounds good to me."

Peter grinned. "I bet Buffy would even bring her cheerleaders to a football match."
nadiathesaint: (mascot)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-09 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"But alas, we would be mascotless. Because I will be on the field."

"You could wear the costume while playing. It would be like the spirit of Fandom herself was on the team," Peter suggested, grinning.

"Are you kidding? I'd never be able to see the ball in that mask."

[identity profile] once-a-king.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Possibly a good thing if you're on the other team," Peter replied.
nadiathesaint: (cheerful)

"Nope. My team will be the winning team."
