4th Floor Common Room: Thursday Night [2-8-07]

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana was curled up on a couch in the common room, ostensibly watching TV, but really wondering about things like where Phoebe was. Jim was still sick so she was out here where she wouldn't disturb his sleep. And she thought that being out where others might stop by and distract her could be a good thing.

There was no one up in the 5th floor common room so Molly wandered down a floor. She grinned when she saw Lana. "Hey, Lana! How are you?" she asked as she walked in and plopped in a chair.

Lana smiled at her. "I'm good," she said. "And obviously missing my old common room, since I wandered all the way up here. How are you doing?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Pretty good," Molly said. "This week's been pretty quiet, but that's okay. I'm just glad to be solid again."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Me too!" Lana said fervently. "Not being solid was... terrifying. I barely left Jim's side."

"I'm so sorry," Molly said quietly.

Lana looked a little surprised, then smiled a little ruefully. "It's okay," she said. "It's not like it's your fault. And I'm fine now. I'm always getting told I'm a little overemotional about stuff like that."

Setsuna came into the common room to make some tea to curl up with while she read, nodding to the others with a small smile and a "Good evening," before reaching for the kettle.

Lana smiled at her. "Hey. How's it going?"

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Not too bad," Setsuna responded. "It's been a good, productive day." She nodded as she started her tea and then turned, leaning on the counter a little as she waited and conversed. "How have you been, Lana?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I'm good," she said with a smile. "Visting my old common room, though I should probably be in 3 in case Jim needs anything."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Old common room?" Setsuna's head tilted slightly; perhaps she needed to get out of her room a little more, although, really, it wasn't her room that was the problem. More like the salle. "You've moved down a floor?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana grinned. "I haven't technically lived up here since the summer, but dating Jim... Well, I might as well have been. But then he asked me to make it official, actually move in together and since my roommate had just gone home, we moved into my 'real' room on the third floor."

She looked around with some bemusement. "I'm not quite sure how I ended up here tonight, but here I am."

Jim decided to come up to the fourth floor this evening and see what happened two floors above him. Watching television and talking, apparently. That was familiar. He liked it.

He took a seat and said, "Hi, um, people I don't actually know yet."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana waved. "Hey, Lana Lang here. Nice to see you."

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Jim Halpert," Jim said. "I'm a visitor from two floors below, but I come in peace."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana grinned. "Setsuna's actually the only one who's from this floor. I'm from 3 myself. So, you're safe for the moment."

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Oh, good. Now I don't have to worry if anyone discovers that I'm secretly trying to take over this floor," Jim said. "Except for Setsuna, but I just won't mention it to her."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I swear I won't give away your secret," Lana said with a grin. "Just promise to leave the third floor alone."

Setsuna gave him a small smile. "Setsuna Sakurazaki," she introduced herself, then held up the kettle she was about to pour from. "Would you care for some tea?"

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Jim Halpert," Jim said. "Um, sure. Tea would be great. Thanks."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna nodded as she poured him a cup and handed it over to him. "You're welcome. It's nice to meet you, Jim."

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

Jim tried the tea. "Very nice. You know, by the end of the semester, I think I'll learn enough in my home ec class to be able to boil water well enough to make tea. I don't expect to learn the actual tea part in there, though."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna's palm promptly met her face. "That's why you look familiar, home ec. I always feel like such a cad when I fail to realize I'm talking to someone in one of my classes. I...suppose I don't pay as much attention to other people at times as I should..."

Like, you know, not even realizing your boyfriend was in your Spy Tech class until week five...

Molly waved. "Hi, new boy I haven't met!"

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"How do you know I'm new?" Jim asked. "Maybe I'm just really, really stealthy."
