Fourth Floor Common Room//Tuesday Morning

As happy as Seras was that Pippi had been kind enough to buy her a cell phone as a pre-birthday/Christmas present, she'd be a lot happier if she could figure out why Edgar, her errant cellular, did half of the stuff he it did.

Things like waking her up at 5:30 in the morning by playing 'Rock the Casbar'. After she'd spent a late night at Caritas hanging out with Nadia.

Still, the early rising had given her a chance to handwavily run into town and pick up croissants and danishes for anyone who cared to join her. So, maybe Edgar knew what he was doing, after all.

Seras had them set up on the table along with some fresh fruit and was now curled up on the couch with a newspaper. This, however, she hadn't bought in town. She'd found it outside her room's door.

Before coming to Fandom, Seras had taken out a subscription to the London Times, and it seems that it had finally caught up with her. Reading 1993's news in 2006 might seem odd to some, but Seras had completely missed the ten or so years in between, and at the moment she was absorbed with news from home.

"Wally!" Jamie exclaimed with a jaunty wave. "How goes it?!"

Walter just adored being called Wally. Oh yes. He smiled tightly and waved back.

"Nadia's at the Arms."

Jamie blinked. "So soon? What happened?"

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's for her to say," Walter said, shaking his head. "I assume she'll be back in the dorms soon."

[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"That doesn't sound good," Jamie said based off Walter's expression. "I mean the whole her coming back so soon, not that she'll be back in the dorms thing."

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"She has no visible wounds or broken bones," Walter said, since that was often people's first assumption about Nadia and anything happening.

He cast about for something good. "I'm sure she'll be happy to see you and Furrball."

"I'm sure," Jamie said. "You don't sound exactly happy about having your girlfriend coming back. Is everything okay? And if I'm prying I'll happily just hand you a cup of coffee and we can change the subject."

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm very happy Nadia's back, but I'll take a cup of coffee, thank you," Walter said in what he hoped was an appropriately neutral tone.

Jamie raised an eyebrow and poured the butler-to-be a cuppa joe. "So how are your workshops this term?" he said deftly changing the subject.

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
He'd have preferred a different cuppa, but change-of-subject coffee would suffice.

"They're alright. Sex Ed last term was more fun than any of the ones I have this term. How are yours?"

"Pretty good. The whole acting workshop thing I'm doing is pretty cool, but I miss having the weekly session with Artie," Jamie replied somewhat wistfully.

"You were the best in the class at Dada," Walter said and grinned. "As much as there can be a 'best' with Dada."

[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'd like to think of myself more as the 'Can of Tuna' at Dada," Jamie said thoughtfully. "If there is such a thing."

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Walter nodded. "If you can imagine it, there is one. Although I think if we opened you up, there'd be spaghetti inside or the like."

[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Jamie winces slightly at the idea of being "opened up", but forces a chuckle. "Or perhaps there would be a lovely mixture of potpourri and beef hash?"

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Walter's a bit bloody minded and doesn't think twice about the idea. "Fragrant and delicious?"

[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe with just a touch of hot sauce to keep things spicy."

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-07-25 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Hot sauce. Not thinking about that.

He went to dump the rest of his coffee out in the sink. "I have to get going, Jamie. I missed class last week. I don't want to do it again."

"Not a problem Walter."

Hey. Can't kick a guy when he's down.
