Third Floor Common Room, Saturday Afternoon

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn meant to be studying. She had a ton of work to do, after all, not the least of which was memorizing demon traps. So, her notebook was out, as were the handouts from Hunting, and she had a protractor, a ruler, and a pencil, and she had been practicing drawing the designs, right up to the point where she got hungry about ten minutes after she started working.

So now she was engaged in experimental food assembly--after doing some foraging, she grabbed an apple, a banana, some raisins and dried apricots, a couple of flour tortillas, a jar of crunchy peanut butter, and the container of marshmallow fluff. Kind of the Dawn take on burritos, but it probably wouldn't be fatal.


[ooc: Open, as common rooms are. Experimental cooking and/or non-lethal study group, anyone?]

Dawn raised her right hand. "I promise."

"Alec's jealous."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Of Hunter?" Dawn stared at the kitten, still guarding them from the evil tortilla. "But he's tiny, and a baby, and certainly not competition for Alec!"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I know that and you know that, but Alec..."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn sighed. "So, work in progress, huh. I told Alec I'd take him, er, Hunter, for the night if you guys needed me to."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Thanks. I might take you up on it, but hopefully it won't come to that."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I hope not," Dawn didn't want there to be problems between Dean and Alec over a cat. "Besides, if I take the cat, then sometime you have to repay the favor and take Scout, and I can't imagine that would go well."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean snickered. "It could maybe... nah, you're right."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I see a lot of snarling, or maybe a lot of licking, depending on the mood they're in. Rubbing up against things to claim ownership and territory," Dawn cracked up, "Ohmigod, Alec's not marking things, is he?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"What?" Dean asked half laughing.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Cats, especially the male unfixed ones, mark their territory through scent, warning other cats away," Dawn explained, "which, incidentally, is why you're supposed to get a fixed male...oh." She started giggling harder.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"So you're telling me I should get Alec fixed?" Dean asked with disbelieving laughter.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Ummmmm...only if he starts piddling all over the place?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean cracked up at that image. "Dude, that's just...."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I know! Isn't it???" Dawn wasn't doing much better.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"It's your brain that came up with it," Dean pointed out helpfully.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"It's your boyfriend," she accused, still giggling.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean let the 'boyfriend' label pass for once because Alec wasn't here to freak out about it. "I'm not the one picturing him watering corners of my room or something."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Well, I wasn't before," she pointed out, "and now I can't seem to stop. I had no idea Alec drank so much water." Dawn bit her lower lip and tried to stop laughing. "I'm sorry. My brain is a strange place sometimes, but you knew that already."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I did," Dean agreed. "I mean you liked Sammy over me, that's strange in itself!" he teased.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn blushed. "Not so strange. I mean, you're incredible, but Sam's...Sam." Unfortunately, she really couldn't explain it much better than that. She and Sam just...fit. "Besides, you've got Alec, who prefers you like whoa."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"As long as I don't have a cat," Dean said dryly.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I think that if you were to ask whether he'd rather be with you and Hunter or Sam and his puppy," she couldn't help adding, "I think you'll see that you still win."
