Third Floor Common Room, Late Sunday Evening

[the_merriest]

Rikku had no idea why she was up. She should be tired, but she wasn't. Go figure!

Luckily, her Monday class wasn't until after lunch, so it was okay if she stayed up late. She'd even remembered to bring snacks this time. Lots of sugary goodness and crunchy stuff.

The TV said it was a Movie Monster Marathon and Rikku was learning all kinds of stuff. She felt like taking notes. She'd have to ask someone later if any of these creatures were real or not. Most of them weren't anywhere in Spira, that was for sure.



(so very open!)

Seely clapped a hand to over his heart. "Not deeply upset?"

"Deeply, deeply wounded and upset, yes," she said, nodding.

Seely reached out for her hand. "I'm definitely going to have to come up with something good then."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"I've had a simply awful day, so it should ve very, very good," she said, trying not to smile as she intertwined their fingers.

Seely started placing small kisses over the back of her hand. "How awful?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Woke up to a horse in my room."

Seely couldn't help it, he started giggling.

"Oh, of course, it's funny to you," Aravis said. "Have you ever coaxed a horse down four flights of stairs? The cow was easy by comparison!"

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"I've never been around horses, so no."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"That will change," she said with confidence. "It was difficult work. I was glad to learn it wasn't your work, though, as that was what I thought initially."

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"But they're kind of...big, and horse-like."

Seely pouted. "You thought I'd be that unoriginal?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"They're horses," she said, giving him a look. "And I'd hoped not, but what was I supposed to think when I woke up to livestock in my room?"

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"Which are big," Seely said. "Fandom weirdness?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"They are but they're sweet and easy-natured beasts," Aravis said. "And really, the same week that a cow was in your room?"

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"I'll take your word for it," Seely replied. "The universe having a sense of poetic justice?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"It was just Trenor, but my first thought upon seeing the horse was that I was disappointed at your lack of creativity," she said, and leaned over to press a kiss to his cheek. "I am glad to learn you weren't so unoriginal."

Seely grinned and reached up to tap her on the nose. "Just remember you said that when I get my revenge."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

Aravis rolled her eyes. "I'm afraid, really I am."

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"You should be," Seely replied, leaning in for a kiss.

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I am, truly," she murmured, kissing him. "Absolutely on my toes."

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"Ready for anything?" Seely asked between kisses.

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Always am," she told him, resting her forehead against his.

Seely ran his hands up her arms. "Guess I won't get anything past you, then."
