4th Floor Common Room, Evening

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn was sitting in the common room with paper and pen as she tried to figure out what she was going to do about Nottingham. The fact that he had managed to ambush and beat her caused no small worry. She didn't want to leave in his custody and she was having a hard time coming up with ways to avoid this.

She rubbed her face and then winced as her hand came in contact with the bruise on her jaw. As wounds went, the ones she had received from him were minor, but the blow to the ego that he had bested her wouldn't go away.

She rubbed the bandage on her arm and looked back down at her paper.

"What a jerk. We can't let that happen again now can we? ... He's out in the Preserve you say?"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"He was last night. I don't know where they are now."

"... Okay. Is there anything in particular you'd like to do about this? I mean... We could go to Sheriff Tex about arresting him for attacking you... but since he's a Sheriff it might be risky involving her..."

Gwynn let out a breath. "I just want him to go away and have Phillip and my father deal with him. The thing is, even if he leaves this time, he'll keep coming. If I cannot come up with a way to make him stay away, my father and Phillip will make me come home because they won't think I'm safe here."

"Okay... So we're just going to have to teach him a lesson then... Not like we haven't done that before. He obviously doesn't know what he's dealing with coming here."

"I don't want anyone here to get hurt because he's trying to take me, Pippi."

Pippi waved a hand dismissively.

"Nobody wants anybody to get hurt of course. But you already got hurt, so we're rather past that. Pirate wisdom and a year and a half at this school teaches that teamwork is the key the success."

"He did hurt me first," she agreed. "Who, besides the other Squirrels, should we get on our team, then?"

Pippi thought about that.

"I did promise El Professor I'd talk to him if I was gonna try to 'take care of something' without going to the troupers... But I didn't specify if I'd do that before or after it was taken care of..." she smirked. "He's pretty good in a pinch though... Hmmmm..."

I totally forget who else was on the list. :P

"Conner said he'd help, and when I saw Summmer in class today, she was pretty annoyed."

"We'll I'm none too pleased myself... It's too bad Seras isn't around any more; aside from being fun, and a Squirrel, and us all working well together clandestinely... She kinda looks like you... I thought so anyway."
