Fourth floor common room: Quite early Sunday morning

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Mice, as it turned out, weren't big on sleeping for long stretches at a time. This explained why Jack had squeezed under Cedric's door, exploring his way down the hallway, sniffing at each door until he ended up in the common room.

It took awhile, but he eventually managed to climb up onto the couch and scamper over to the remote control. //Okay, I can do this.//

Bouncing up and down on the power button eventually turned the TV on, and he used both paws to change the channel. He paused, twitching his whiskers, as the screen was suddenly filled with mice. Cute mice. //The Saviours, huh?//

Jack curled up on top of the remote to watch the story of two heroic mice, who obviously had a severe case of UST, nibbling on a bit of popcorn he'd found under one of the pillows.

"Okay, okay, that get," Isabel chuckled. Scooping him up, she set him on her shoulder. "You are way too cute like this. I need to take more pictures of you."

Jack ran across her shoulder and climbed under hair, pushing through the strands. Nice as it was when he was human, it was even better as a mouse. He poked his nose out, eyes bright, at the mention of photos. //Photos are good. I'm adorable like this.//

Mouse feet tickled so Isabel giggled. "You want photos then? Maybe we can do a calendar?"

He ran back to the edge of her shoulder and struck a pose. It was a mousie pose, so it wasn't up to his usual standard, but he reared up, put his paws on where his hips would be if he was human, and threw his head back.

"You may well be the only mouse I know that actually manages to show some sex appeal," she laughed. "Maybe we can get some silk? And some artsy lighting?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

He was laughing, but only another mouse would have been able to tell, and he rolled onto his back, stretching languidly, putting one paw to his forehead.

Unfortunately, in his enthusiasm and over-caffeination, he rolled right off her shoulder, paws clutching frantically at her shirt to catch himself as he started to fall.

"You are such a goof!" Isabel laughed, reaching up and catching him. She brought her hand to eye level and shook her head at him. "What am I going to do with you?"

Cursing the fact that he didn't have eyebrows to waggle, Jack had to content himself with circling her palm so he could glance at her over his shoulder, eyes half closed. //I have an idea or two. But they have to wait for this to wear off.//

Snorting, Isabel shook her head, amused as hell to be propositioned by a mouse. "Sure...now you offer. When you're in no position to do anything about it."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Indignant, he poked her finger, shaking his head. //Hey! I offer all the time. You're the one who doesn't want to take me up on it.//

She realized she was actually pretty certain of what he was implying and facepalmed with the hand that wasn't holding him. "It scares me that I understand that."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

//You know me too well.// He bounced a bit in her hand, then climbed her sleeve back to her shoulder, and slid down to land in her pocket.

Poking his nose out, he waved up at her, then settled in to watch the rest of the morning from the safety of her pocket.

"Good, you stay there. Out of trouble. I'll bring you to Sam later," Isabel promised before heading in search of coffee.
