Fifth floor common room, Monday evening

Nadia was sitting upside down on the couch, munching on a chicken empanada and reading a book.

The adventures of six miss-matched characters across a make-believe world were surprisingly engaging.

". . . And what did you have to do in return?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary!" Cally said. Which was true, actually. "And now..." She concentrated hard, and summoned another tiny fireball, this time keeping it in her hand a few seconds before she dissipated it. "See!"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia peered at it. "Uh . . . huh." She didn't trust this in the least. "And what was wrong with being a mechanic and hopeful dentist?"

Cally gave Nadia a look. "You know any dentists who can save lives?"

[nadiathesaint]

"The battle against tooth decay is a very serious and important one, Cally."

Cally continued to give Nadia the look. "Don't frakking patronize me."

[nadiathesaint]

"Then stop belittling yourself! You were going to help fix ships, which could save lives, and be a dentist, which while not a life and death scenario, is extremely important to a lot of people. Why do you have to be a witch?"

"Save lives? The fleet's a frakking joke, Nadia. There's about one batch of arms smugglers they deal with once every couple of years, but otherwise we're just waiting for the Cylons to come back, which ain't ever gonna happen." Cally crossed her arms. "You're just jealous that you're not better than me anymore."

[nadiathesaint]

"Okay, first of all? When have I ever said that I was better than you? Because if I did, you should have smacked me right there. Secondly? If the fleet flies out and something goes wrong in space, I'm pretty sure that means someone could die."

"Stop talking down to me!" Cally growled, and suddenly a much larger fireball appeared in her hand. Thankfully, this scared her half to death and it dissipated quickly.

"Oh... shit..." she said, biting her lip and then fleeing the room.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia stared after Cally.

That? Really probably didn't bode well.

She started after her, then changed her mind and sat down with a sigh. Well, until now, it had been a really good day.
