Fourth floor common room: Wednesday morning [before workshops]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

It was a somewhat damp Karal who trudged into the fourth floor common room. He'd just come back from feeding Trenor, it was raining outside, and he had yet to be introduced to the concept of an umbrella.

This would be why he was damp, although damp might be too mild a term, looking at the matter objectively. Water was dripping down the back of his neck and off his curls, his shoes were squelching lightly, and his shirt was stuck to him.

Altra, who'd been fast asleep in the common room, took one look at him and started laughing so hard he fell off the back of the couch.

Karal sighed. "I need a cup of tea."

[ooc: it's a common room, and so it's open!]

"Make me one too," Gavin said, just coming in on the end of that. "Just get out of the shower?"

Karal smiled ruefully. "Good morning, Gavin. In a way, I did," he said, walking over - accompanied by a delightful squelching - to set the water to heating. "It is raining outside. Rather a lot, though it seems to have slowed somewhat."

"Don't you have a shower in your room?" Gavin asked.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

He laughed and scooped up a dish towel, tossing it at Gavin. "Do you wish tea or not?"

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Sure," he answered, catching the dish towel. "Not the falling asleep kind!"

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Then be nice, or I shall make you the falling asleep kind!" Karal busied himself setting up the tea, dripping on the counter, but only a little bit. "Trenor needed to be fed, despite the rain, and I brought no wet weather gear with me, so," he held out his arms, "I am as you see me."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

He snickered and said, "I didn't even know you had wet weather gear."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"I do not, at least not here. I should have brought it with me," he said, shaking his head. Sending water flying. "Oh dear."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

And Gavin couldn't help but laugh at the airborne water. "You really got soaked."

After the first of his trips down to Kraken cabin to prepare for tonight, Seely decided to wait and see if the weather cleared a little. He squelched his way into the common room.

Karal looked down at himself and made a face. "I should have changed my clothes, but I truly needed a cup of tea. I did not think it was raining as hard as it was until I was in the middle of it!" He shook his head again, maybe moving a little bit closer to Gavin. "But now I will not need a shower."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Seely! You are wet as well!" Karal: master of observation. "Would you care for a cup of tea?"

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

Gavin just pointed and laughed.

Gavin raised an eyebrow. "You hug me and I'm telling on you to Altra."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal blinked at him, then started to laugh. "I was merely going to attempt to drip on you. But if you feel you are in need of a hug..."

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

Seely shook his head, scattering water. "Is it tea like Aravis makes?"

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"No hugs!" Gavin said hurriedly. "No need for a hug today. Perfectly happy."

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"Aravis likes me like this," Seely replied primly.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"I do not know. Perhaps?" He frowned and picked up the packet. "It is not Karsite tea, it is English, but it is specifically for drinking with breakfast."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"You are sure?" Karal took a big step forward and held out his arms, grinning. "I would be failing in my priestly duty if you required a hug and I did not give you one."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"She likes you all wet?" Gavin asked. "Doesn't that make her wet too?"

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"You can hug Altra," Gavin said and held up a pillow. "No hugs from me!"

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"Is it strong at least?"

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

Seely just smirked and started pulling off his shirt. "Yes, yes it does."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"You can't hug me either," Gavin said just in case Seely got any idea about trying to convince him that hugs from Seely would impress other girls or something.
