Fourth floor common room, Thursday noonish

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

No classes meant a whole lot of napping for Jude. But a boy must eat, so eventually he reluctantly crawled out of bed, kissed Setsuna, and limped off to the common room to see what kind of food could be prepared. Sadly, he was all out of sticks. Regular pancakes would have to do at the moment. Didn't stop him from making them funny shapes, though.

"Um," Setsuna got really quiet and really demure very quickly. "Um, born with 'em. I...don't really like to talk about it..."

"Oh," Teddy said quietly. "Sorry." He needed some sort of guide of topics approved for talking to people about.

He poked at his plate and tried to come up with something less awkward to say. "So, you don't go flying often either?"

Setsuna gulped. She didn't mean to make Teddy feel bad; he couldn't have known, right? And she'd so freely brought the subject up that he probably assumed...

"No, it's okay. And I don't, not really. You grow up your whole life having to hide them, you almost forget about them some of the time. And it's not like I can just keep them out all the time, although that would be kind of nice. Halls and rooms in this place just aren't big enough."

"I understand, back home having wings would get a kid killed," Teddy said softly. "It's just cool to find someone else with 'em and not have to worry about any of that, you know?"

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"It's kinda the same where I'm from, too," Setsuna said with a small smile. Only it wasn't so much the where as the who was there she was worried about. "It's nice to find a place where it's acceptable, definately..."

This was more awkward than it should be. "Just, you know, if you ever want to go flying or anything..." Teddy trailed off, hoping it didn't sound like he was asking her on a date or anything.

Setsuna, noting the awkwardness and wanting to eradicate it, chuckled a little, and nodded. "Sure."

"Hey, what do you think they'd say if we showed up for Flight Club one day and said we wanted to join?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy laughed. "I actually did want to join, but then I found out they were only talking about flying in a vehicle."

"Discrimination if you ask me. We should protest."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna bit her lip, glowing a little. "I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that, then. I'm glad I did find out; that would have been embarrassing..."

"But, yes. Protest, I agree. Are you any good at making signs?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"I've never made one before, but I'm sure if we throw some glitter on it it'll be fine."

He held up one finger. "Or we could start our own flight club, for those who can actually fly."

"Oooh, I do rather like that idea," Setsuna smiled. "Do you know if anyone else has wings?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy shook his head. "Not really. But I think that Matilda girl can levitate herself with telekinesis, should we count that?"

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna's smile faded significantly; she just may have grunted, and sounded a little cross when she said, "Levitating is not flying."

Matilda was not currently on Setsuna's list of people she'd want to be in a club with. At all.

Teddy wondered if this was one of the things he shouldn't ask about.

"Okay, no Marilda," He said, deciding to err on the side of safety. "We could check that supernatural club, maybe they have members with wings."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Teddy was battin' all strikes here.

"Um, maybe..." she said quietly, and, despite the agreement, looked very uncomfortable with the idea.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Or we could just try putting up posters," Teddy said quickly.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"With glitter," Setsuna added, just as quickly.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Score! He didn't get something wrong!

"Glitter makes everything better."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna nodded. "Definately."
