Second Floor Common Room [Thursday Evening]

Bridge hobbles out of his room for the first time since Saturday evening. Leaning the crutches against the arm of the couch, he curls up and starts aimlessly flipping through channels.

"I can see swords, but how are darts especially... justice-y?" Bridge asks thoughtfully.

"It was about stretching your horizons and not relying on your normal weapons," Peter replied. "V didn't let me touch the swords." There might have been the smallest amount of pouting at the idea of swords he was unable to play with.

"Oh," Bridge nods. "My normal weapon is kind of encoded in my DNA," he says thoughtfully. "I'm not sure how I could just not rely on it."

"True," Peter conceded. "But at the same time, you have choices on how you use it and that you could fall into habits in."

"That's true," Bridge admits. "Like, I can track people using my abilities. But I've also learned how to read physical trails too."

Peter snickered. "Learning how to track barefoot or without clothes definitely helps one learn."

"Well, it provided the proper incentive," Bridge says with a laugh.

"That'll more than do it," Peter replied. He glanced at Bridge. "Have you heard anything from Callisto since she left? Is she doing well?"

"Not a peep since Homecoming," Bridge says worriedly.

Peter bit his lip thoughtfully. "Hopefully silence means things are going right?"

"Somehow I doubt it," Bridge says. "I just... I wish I could *see* for myself if she was okay. But she's in LA. And I'm... here."

"Perhaps at Christmas? At Homecoming, Angel said something about his friends going there. You and Rory are going perhaps?" Peter suggested.

"I don't know," Bridge admits. "She hasn't mentioned it at all. Maybe, though."

Peter offered Bridge another doughnut. "It'll be well."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Bridge says sincerely, meaning for both the doughnut and the reassurance.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome," Peter replied with a nod. "So, birthday party next week?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Bridge says with a smile. Assuming my computer isn't still dead.
