Third Floor Common Room, Sunday Morning

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn was wearing the same jeans and sweater she'd been wearing yesterday, not wanting to head back to her room and too tall to borrow Molly's. She was also freezing, which had led to her mixing up a very large pot of oatmeal. The fixings were in the cupboard if anyone wanted them, but she wasn't setting them out.

Instead, she was sitting with her bowl of healthy goodness (once you ignored the raisins and brown sugar she'd added to her own) and a very, very large mug of hot cocoa with mini marshmallows. She read through a large pile of books and scrolls she'd brought with her and that Giles had sent since May (not all of which were in English), trying to find anything that explained what was going on.

She made occasional notes on a pad as she worked.

Cally gave Dean a wave and a semi-muffled "Hi."

"Hey. What happened to you?" Dean asked before realising she might not be able to answer. "No, strike that -- sticking to yes and no questions. Are you okay?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally nodded. "'ostly," she said. Dean would probably notice her mouth didn't really move when she talked.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean did indeed notice and figured out what it probably meant. "Broken jaw?"

Cally nodded. "'ired shut for six weeks," she said. "Got attacked on Monday."

Dean frowned and thought about what he'd originally been planning to research before the world and his brother went nuts. "Buffy was attacked Friday. You remember anything about what happened to you?"

Cally shook her head. "Nothin'," she said. "Sorry."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that usually was the way it went. "Do you remember where it happened?" he asked. "A week might be long enough to wipe out faint traces, but if it was something sufficiently powerful enough, they might still be able to pick something up."

"Nadia found me at the preserve," Cally said. "I don't remember goin' there, though."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Big area, that, but it was a place to start. He looked at Cally again. "Hey, I could make you a smoothie or something if you're hungry...."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"'m good," Cally said. "Mac and I made the worlds first an' possibly last vegan oatmeal smoothie."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Okay, not that I'm making any judgements but ew."

Cally nodded. "Kinda why its prolly the last," she said with a muffled laugh.
