Second Floor Common Room [Thursday Evening]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

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.

Jude, still wearing a long, multi-coloured, handknitted scarf, executed a similar hobble, figuring he would gradually work himself up the two more flights of stairs. He flopped into a nearby chair and leaned his crutches against his good knee, throwing off a small salute. "Hey, bro."

Peter had run down to town after class and stopped at J,GOB. He heard the television as he climbed the stairs back up to the fifth floor and decided to poke his head in the Common Room.

"Evening, Bridge!" He said with a grin. "How d'you do?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Dude," Bridge says. "Trolls?" he asks.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Totally," Jude replied, just a touch mournfully. "You too?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Okay, I guess," Bridge says with a shrug. Totally not sulking. At all.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Bridge makes a face. "It STOMPED on my ankle. STOMPED on it." He sounds rather offended by this.

Jude made a face. "Not cool, bro." He made a spinning motion with one hand. "I got tossed."

Peter found a seat on the couch and offered Bridge one of the doughnuts he'd came back with. "What's wrong?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Ouch," Bridge says. "The one that stomped on my ankle got tossed *at* me?" he offers. "It was kind of a wee troll."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"They were all too big," Jude sighed.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Bridge says gratefully, taking a doughnut. "On Saturday? A troll stomped on my ankle and sprained it. And yesterday was my birthday, which I spent stuck in bed *because* of my stupid ankle."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Bridge says with a sigh of his own. "I didn't even get to actually defeat any. They just got bored of messing around with my teammate and me."

Bouncy about tomorrow, Cameron didn't feel much like sitting still so he went wandering right into the common room. "Yo, Bridge!"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"You probably won't appreciate my saying that you're lucky it's just sprained?" Peter asked, with a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry you missed your birthday. We'll have to have a party when you're completely better."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hey Cam!" Bridge says with a wave. It's hard to *totally* sulk when there's someone being bouncy. Bridge would know. He's usually the bouncy one.

"I totally didn't even try and fight," Jude rolled his eyes. "I was trying to get away. I would have totally been toast if Chad hadn't punched out a troll."

"How's it going?" Cameron asked, plopping down in a chair and motioning towards the crutches. "You gonna be okay?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"That'd be cool," Bridge says with a grin. "And we still need to do the shopping thing."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter grinned back. "Definitely. Stuff for Sale would have them, right?" He looked a bit more serious. "Anything other than the ankle hurt in the fight? Is Rory well?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Just a sprain," Bridge shrugs. "So I should be okay in a week or two, apparently."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Just a bunch of bumps and scratches," Bridge says. "Well, and my teammate. Rory is okay, though. Which is good."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron nodded. "Good. What heroic gesture got you into this?" he asked.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Very good," Peter agreed. "I'm glad to hear it."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Fighting trolls with Z," Bridge explains. "One of them threw another little troll at me. Then the little troll stomped on my ankle."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"That's... an interesting fighting style," Cameron blinked.
