Third Floor Common Room, Saturday Evening

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

After finishing her homework for the week, Dawn went to the common room and decided to indulge herself. She had a bowl of rainbow sherbet and was flipping through channels.

Oooh, kittens! Or, well, lions, but baby ones. She watched happily, although an occasional "awww, kitty..." escaped.

Aeryn had started to go out for a while, then realized she hasn't been in a common room in a while. And since she doesn't currently want to kill anything, she finds herself one the third floor.

Dawn waved to Aeryn. "Hi! We've got lions and ice cream and idle conversation."

"Is this like the meerkat show?" Aeryn wonders, frowning at the TV.

"There was a meerkat show?" Dawn had missed it, "and I guess so? Except these are lion cubs. See how they look just like little kittens, but big and they can eat your head."

"The only kittens I've had any experience with are the ones that attached themselves to me when we had the mummy problem," she says. "If they had been able to eat someone's head, I may have had more tolerance."

"They're totally cute, and they purr when they're happy," Dawn explained. "And you're in favor of animals that eat people?"

[can_be_more]

"They're more interesting," she says. "I've decided against trying to teach the shark to eat people, so I suppose that's something."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Shark?" Dawn asked, eyes wide.

"It's really a fish," Aeryn clarifies. "It's called a bala shark. It's in a bigger tank, away from the sea monkeys, and apparently doesn't bite."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"You know a lot about them. Do you raise fish as a hobby?" Hey, it could happen.

[can_be_more]

Aeryn almost laughs. "No. All I know is what John told me when he said he was going to buy a shark. And I know that it swims around all day. I can't picture me raising anything. Especially fish."

"Oh, yeah? Howcome?"

"I'm not that nuturing," says Aeryn, thinking that too was probably obvious to people on other planets like Jack said.

"Hey, long time, no talk," Dean said, grinning at her. "How goes things?"

[can_be_more]

"They're going all right. For the time being," she says, giving him a little smile in return. "How have you been?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Pretty good. My Dad's here teaching now and he let me drive the car today." Yes, that was something Dean was going to mention to pretty much everyone he talked to tonight because, dude. He drove the Impala.

[can_be_more]

She frowns a little and asks, "The car?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. My Dad, he has this totally cool '67 Chevy Impala. Sammy and I practically grew up in it," Dean explained. "I think I've wanted to drive it since I was at least four."

[can_be_more]

"Congratulations, then," she says, and kind of understands that, actually. "Was it everything you thought it would be?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Pretty much yeah."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn smiles a little and says, "You like having your father around?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Hell yeah," Dean replied. "It's just been the three of us for so long... it feels wrong when he's gone too long."

[can_be_more]

"Good," she says. "Most people here don't get to have that. You're lucky."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean grinned. "I know. I mean there's a lot that's sucked about our lives, but... Yeah. We have each other, corny as that sounds."

[can_be_more]

"I have no idea what 'corny' means, but it sounds all right," she says.
