The roof, Thursday night

[nadiathesaint]

It wasn't too unbearably cold out, so Nadia was only wearing four layers as she sat on the edge of the roof, staring up at stars she couldn't actually see thanks to cloud cover.

There were a couple planes and a spot light from the mainland bouncing faintly off the clouds, though.

Today had been a decent day, at the very least until she'd run into Chad in the gym, and she was determinedly shoving that part out of her brain so she could keep thinking that today was just a good day, total, end of story.

Pippi scrabbles up over the side.

"Hey."

[nadiathesaint]

"Hey, Pippi,"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Sick people are weird."

[nadiathesaint]

"What'd Pip do?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"He was mostly asleep and speaking to me in French. I don't think he realized it. We had a whole conversation but I didn't understand a word he said... Well. Mostly."

[nadiathesaint]

"Mostly? So you understood some of it?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Well, I looked up important phrases like 'hello' and 'goodbye', 'yes', 'no'..."

Not to mention 'faster', 'slower', and 'Ow, my spleen!'.

But she didn't mention that.

"I'm not sure, but I think he said that my earlobes resembled fish heads... Either he was confused and trying to give me a complement, or he's hallucinating and delirious with fever."

[nadiathesaint]

"Possibly both."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Possibly."

[nadiathesaint]

"I hope he feels better for New Years. I still want to do that boat trip." Walter had promised her hot buttered rum, after all.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Me too." Pippi nodded.

"So... I think I have a solution for the sneaky thing with the thing."

[nadiathesaint]

"Oh yeah? Will you need a sneaky spy assistant?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Oh of course! Can't do without a sneaky spy assistant, but we can do without a probably not-sneaky and uncooperative alchemist."

[nadiathesaint]

"Excellent. Just tell me where and when. And, um, what. But not who, why, or how, I can figure those out myself."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"When will be just before we leave... Where will be determined once the 'how' is worked out."

Late-ish that night, Cally stumbled up to the roof with a couple half-gallons of partially melted ice cream and a pout a mile wide.

Nadia was still up there, albeit shivering slightly and starting to aim herself towards bed, but stopped. "Okay, what's with the face?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I got stood up by Teddy," she said.

[nadiathesaint]

". . . I thought you were dating Mac."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"It was a totally platonic ice cream and movies night!" Cally said. "And he didn't show."

[nadiathesaint]

". . . Maybe he thought it was too cold for ice cream?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I was supposed to meet him at his room," Cally said, before unceremoniously plopping down on the cement.

"This blows. And Mac's asleep."

[nadiathesaint]

"I'm sorry. Was there a particular reason, or just looking forward to hanging out?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Just lookin' forward to it," Cally said. "I bought ice cream and everything."

[nadiathesaint]

"You could always eat the ice cream yourself,"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"This is way too much ice cream for one person," Cally said.

Truth be told it was too much ice cream for two people.

[nadiathesaint]

"It's . . . a helluva lot of ice cream, yes."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Prolly kinda melty, too," Cally said.
