Fourth Floor Common Room -- Monday evening

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Still in an absurdly good mood, Dean was in the kitchen cooking. Nothing fancy, just some rice krispie treat, but he figured he wouldn't have any problems finding people to eat it.

Dean took a bite himself. And if he did, well all the more for himself, wasn't it?

"Everytime someone leaves I get reminded that someday it's going to be me," Isabel admitted. "I don't know what I'm going to do then."

"Hide in the basement?" Dawn suggested.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I wish. But there's a planet, and a destiny," she shrugged. "We sort of owe them."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Destinies suck," she declared. Of course, it was easier to say that when you'd filled yours.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Dead toads through a straw," Isabel nodded. "But there's nothing I can do about it."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I'm so stealing that expression," Dawn told her. "Are there rules about how your destiny has to happen?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Go right ahead, I stole it from Maria." She shrugged, "Well it included a betrothed husband. But we said the hell with that. Beyond that, no, not really."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"So...you could bring people with you, maybe? To help?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I've already talked to Aeryn," Isabel admitted. "I'd want her watching my back. But it all depends. Our way home is gone for the moment. So until we find a new way back, I'm worrying for nothing."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"How..." Dawn swallowed, "How would you get there?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Right now? I haven't a clue," she shrugged. "We had a way. But when Tess left in March, she took it. So for the moment, we really are stranded."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"How'd she leave? A ship, or some other way?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"The Granolith. It was some sort of ship slash transport device," she said. "With the crash we lost a lot of information."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Could one of the other outer space people get you there?" Dawn asked.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Maybe, but we're not one hundred percent sure where it is. So until we have more information..." Isabel shrugged helplessly.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I'll stop trying to help," Dawn said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No, I appreciate it," Isabel said sincerely. "It helps knowing people want to help."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I do. Want to help. Lots." Dawn nodded.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," she smiled. "But since I don't plan on leaving anytime soon? Perhaps you can help me with a more immediate problem?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Sure, what's up?" Dawn asked.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I need another piece of rice krispy treat," Isabel said, perfectly serious.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Giggling, Dawn went over to the counter and returned with two. She handed one to Isabel. "Y'know, for an ex-boyfriend, Dean's a pretty good cook."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel grinned and doused her piece with Tabasco. "He's a man of great culinary skills indeed."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, Tabasco. Can I try?" Dawn decided not to elaborate on Dean's other skills, though Isabel might have guessed what she was thinking from the blush.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Multi-talented?" Isabel asked, noticing the blush. She held out the Tabasco. "You sure you're ready for this?"
