3rd Floor Common Room: Saturday AM [9-9]

Lana couldn't lie in bed any longer and she was afraid if she got up and started buzzing around the room that she'd wake her roommate. So instead she went to the Common Room and busied herself cutting up a ton of fresh fruit that she'd brought and brewing up some coffee and tea for anyone who might be looking for some breakfast. She also set out a bunch of bagels and muffins she'd picked up.

And at least here if she was singing a bit while she worked she wouldn't be disturbing anyone.


[OOC: Come have some breakfast!]

"Um, it's Ellison," Jim replied, scratching the back of his neck. "Look, Evie, I'm really sorry about not calling you. I came down with a cold or something, didn't crawl out of bed for a week."

Evie smile grew less shy, and she waved expansively. "Oh, that's quite all right! Are you feeling better?" It was something of a relief that he'd been ill, and hadn't simply decided not to call. "Well, clearly, or you wouldn't be here. But I *am* glad you're all right."

"Uh, thanks." Jim glanced towards Blair, and then Lana. "Look, Evie, about ice cream . . ."

"Yes?" Evie asked, looking hopeful. "I was rather looking forward to trying mint chocolate chip. I've heard it's excellent."

Jim winced. "Um, yeah. About that. I'd still really like to grab an ice cream and get to know you. You seem like a great girl. But . . ." He looked over at the happily humming Lana again, a smile spreading across his face.

Following his gaze, Evie saw the other girl across the room. "Oh. Oh!" Ow. But still... "Well, that's-- that's very nice. And I'd still like to go out for ice cream with you too, Jim. As a friend, of course. And if, um, your young lady doesn't object."

Jim shook his head, smiling in relief. "I'm sure Lana won't mind. I'm really sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, Evie, and if things had gone differently . . ."

"Oh, that's all right." Evie shrugged, smiling very hard to conceal the disappointment. "It was only a, a, casual appointment, after all. Don't think anything of it." She took a breath. "Ice cream when you have the time, then?"

Jim nodded, still feeling like a heel. "Soon." He smiled. "Now you can call me and kick my ass about it, 'kay?"

Evie blushed at the profanity, but laughed a little in spite of it. "Okay. That would be fine. Tell Lana she's very lucky. Most boys wouldn't think to explain." She smiled, a little more relaxed, and then said, "And I am starving, forgive me. I *must* eat before I fall over."

Jim nodded with a smile. "I'll do that. Alright, I'll see you around." He lifted one hand in a bit of a salute before drifting back towards Lana.
