Fourth Floor Common Room, Saturday Afternoon

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry couldn't stand another minute alone in his room. Edward's voice was letting out a constant stream of abuse, and it was taking all of Henry's self-control not to just give in and let Edward lumber around the place. He went to the common room to work on some homework, hoping for a distraction.

Setsuna's eyes shifted slightly to Mac, trying to keep her little sneer for Cally's girlfriend in check. "Mac," she said, cooly, with a slight touch of ice as she looked at her from over her shoulder.

"Uh, heey Setsuna," Mac replied, a little puzzled by the cold shoulder treatment she seemed to be getting. "You okay?"

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Yes, of course," Setsuna said, slightly snottily, wings stretching themselves out in an 'I'm better than you' attitude. "Never better. How are you, Mac, dear?"

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"... I'm pretty good, actually," Mac said slowly. Setsuna suddenly seemed to have sprouted an interesting new attitude. "Much better now Cally's awake again."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Mmmm, yes," Setsuna suddenly started inspecting her nails, in a bored sort of manner. She supposed she should go see how Cally was doing, but, you know, Cally couldn't be nearly as much fun in her current state. "How is she doing, by the way? Recovering well?"

Mac nodded in affirmation, with a little smile at Setsuna. "Much better than she was," she said. "Still, I want to keep her with me a little longer, if she'll let me."

Setsuna quirked an eyebrow at Mac. "And you're not with her now, because...?"

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"Detention," Mac said, fiddling with the book on her lap.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"...I see," Setsuna said, looking at Mac thoughtfully. She sidled in a little closer. The wings, strangely enough, didn't seem to be the slightest hinderance. "So...what do you plan to do with your time while waiting for her to be finished with said detention?"

If Mac didn't have any particular plans, Setsuna was certainly concocting up a few choice ideas to help...pass the time.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"I guess, stay here. It's something to do," Mac said with a shrug. "Why'd you ask?"

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"No reason," Setsuna shrugged, and lied, and shifted just a tiny bit closer. "I'm feeling a little...bored myself, and perhaps...we could find something to do together to help...pass the time." And, with slightly fluttering eyelids, she smiled at Mac as sweetly as she could.

Mac is a little oblivious... okay, a lot oblivious. You'd think all this time with Cally would've taught her something, but no.

"Uh, sure," she replied. Why not. "What were you thinking of?"

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

The sweet obliviousness made it all the better to Setsuna. She smiled again, reaching over to lightly brush a strand of Mac's hair with her finger. "I don't know," she said, "maybe something like..."

And she leaned in to close the gap between them with a kiss, a kiss she hoped would be able to build up into telling Mac exactly what she had in mind.

It took a couple of seconds for Mac to actually register what was going on. There was someone kissing her, and it was someone that was definitely not Cally. It was at that point she suddenly pulled back, and stared at Setsuna.

"Girlfriend," she blurted, trying to keep her inner flailing under control. "Me, I have... Remember?"

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Well, yeah," Setsuna said, still leaning in, grinning. "Of course I remember. We were only just talking about her..."

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac just stared at her a little more. She was only now beginning to twig that there was something seriously not right about Setsuna right now.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna sighed a little, giving Mac a seriously disappointed sort of look. "It's like she'd know," she said. She didn't have to be so...weird about it.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"That's not the point!" Mac replied.

"And hi, radio," the rational part of her pointed out. After a second that really sunk in, "Oh, God. Radio. I have to go," she blurted.

Setsuna sighed and let her scramble away like a scared little kitten. Whatever. There were other pursuits to enjoy, but, man, it sure made Setsuna wonder what Cally saw in Mac. No fun, whatsoever.
