Fifth floor common room, Sunday evening

[nadiathesaint]

After seeing the group off in the first floor lobby, Nadia had returned to her room to sulk brood try to get some more sleep.

It hadn't really worked. Her shoulder still hurt, but she still wasn't icing it. Instead, she'd taken even more tylenol and was now curled up on the edge of the couch in the common room, staring out the window as if she could keep an eye on the rescue attempts from there.

A distraction from her thoughts would be a welcome thing.

Marty was wandering the dorm when he happened by the CR and Nadia.

"Hey."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia looked up for long enough to see who it was and then went back to staring out the window.

"Hey."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"How's the shoulder?" Marty asked quietly.

[nadiathesaint]

"Hurts." Nadia turned from the window again to look at him seriously. "You here to make sure I don't go crazy again?"

A bag of ice and a towel dropped down on the coffee table next to the couch.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia jumped slightly, then turned to look at the ice and made a face.

"Don't give me that," Walter said, sitting down on the arm of the couch. "We didn't even get a chance to dance before these stupid trolls came."

[nadiathesaint]

"It's not like I meant to get injured again." She glared at the bag of ice as if it were responsible. "That stuff is too cold."

There's a little monkey offering Nadia a banana and hoping she'll protect him from mean nasty trolls.

[nadiathesaint]

The monkey got a smile and a quiet "thanks" as she accepted the banana, then patted him on the head.

Mr. Neilson curls up in Nadia's lap to take a nap.

You weren't planning on using that were you?

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia set the banana down to one side and absently scritched Mr. Neilson's head.

Cally wandered into the common room.

"Wow, you're not all out killing trolls."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter didn't point out that Nadia was injured and he wasn't leaving her alone again. That wasn't going to help his girlfriend's morale.

"We're protecting the dorm."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Right," Cally said. "I've been protecting Mac's bed and cookies since yesterday. You'll be glad to know it's been a rousing success."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"We've had unqualified success in this room," Walter said, nodding.

Actually, he'd had quite some fun yesterday until he'd seen Pippi and then Nadia.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged one shoulder. "You get thrown across the lawn once, and no one will let you near them again."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"You got thrown across the LAWN?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Yeeeee-ep." Nadia made an arching motion through the air with her good hand, adding in the obligatory sound-effects for flight and crash.

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Plenty of other people to get the job done," Marty replied. "Thought the quiet life might be a good change."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"And this way, we make sure there's folks that are well enough to fetch drinks for the people who end up hurt," Cally said. "I'm just glad I'm not alone in the whole troll-avoidy. Well, I knew I wasn't alone, since I've spent the whole weekend with Mac, but... you know what I mean."

"I went out into the fray a little last night but ended up getting Nadia to the clinic," Marty said with a shrug. "I figured I'd let people who know more about monsters take care of whatever's out there."

[demonbelthazor]

After the fighting ended in town, Bel, still in demon form, shimmered into the dorms, a dazed Phoebe and Blair in his arms.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia sat suddenly upright. "Madre del dios, are you guys alright?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel had deep claw marks on his face and arms, but he growled, "I'm fine." He set down Blair on an empty couch. "He's okay. Just stunned. And modded due to computer issues." He scooped Phoebe up in both arms.
