5th Floor Common Room - Thursday Evening

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter tried to make cookies.  Really.  He did.  They just didn't...quite turn out right.  Which was why he'd thrown them all away, opened the windows to let the burning smell out, and turned on the TV.

Spooky Things looked okay.  And that younger brother rather reminded him of Edmund.  Except much, much taller.

"Hey, dude," Bridge says as he flops down on a couch. If he makes a face at the burned-cookie smell, he hides it rather quickly.

"Evening, Bridge," Peter replied. "How goes it?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Bridge says. "I got a phone call from Callisto last night," he adds with a smile. Even if their conversation hadn't exactly been all fluffy puppies, it had been good to hear from her.

"Really?" Peter asked. "Where is she? How is she doing?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Los Angeles," Bridge rolls his eyes. "Which is... better than Greece, for sure."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad she didn't go back to the ancient times," Peter said, catching Bridge's eyeroll. "You disapprove of Los Angeles? Maybe she'll end up in the movies."

"Spooky Things!" Rory said, walking in and trying not to ogle that younger brother as much as she'd like. Because hi, boys in the room who would tease her. "Also, hi!"

"I disapprove of the people she's staying with in Los Angeles." Bridge says with a sigh. "Well, okay, that's not exactly true. They're good people. It's just... her and them is not a very good mix."

"Evening, Rory," Peter said with a grin, standing up as she came in. "I take it the tv choice is a success?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Rory!" Bridge gives her a little wave.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Definitely," Rory said, grinning happily. She paused. "Is something burning?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hi Bridge!" Rory replies, smiling. "How's your Thursday?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Kind of boring," Bridge admits. "No classes today."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter nodded slowly. "Maybe it'll work out for the best?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter bit his lip. "No?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"So you spent the day studying, right?" Rory asks seriously.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory shook her head as to clear it. "Maybe I'm having a stroke or something, then. Anyway, how're you doing?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I tried to make cookies earlier," Peter said, looking embarrassed. "They didn't turn out like cookies. Other than that? Quite well."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory giggled, then sobered. "I'm a terrible cook, so you have my sympathies. Anakin and I burned cookies this summer, but that may have been because we refused to follow directions."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"How did you do that?" Peter asked, smiling. "I don't know what happened, but they didn't become cookies. They just melting onto the pan. Then burned."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"We were supposed to refrigerate and refused," Rory admitted. "Did you use yeast? Or whatever it is you're supposed to use in cookies."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I can hope," Bridge says.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"You're supposed to use yeast?" Peter asked. "I just put in flour and vanilla and stuff. And I lost track of the number of eggs I added so I had to recount them."

"I worked on projects for Isabel and Sam?" Bridge offers. "That's sort of like studying, right?"

"And if not, we'll go pull her out, get someone else to make her dinner, and talk sense into her," Peter said with more bravado than sense.
