4th Floor Common Room, morning

Up early, Isabel wandered out to the common room for coffee and quality morning TV. At the moment that meant watching whatever was on for Shark Week.

Setsuna came in after her early trainings for some breakfast and gave Isabel a nod. "Good morning."

"Morning," Isabel waved. "There's coffee if you want some."

River woke early as always, and as she was looking more for company than for breakfast she wandered down to the fourth floor common room, bringing a cup of coffee with her.

"Morning," she said to Isabel.

The fourth floor was on the way to the principals office, right? Right? Dick's taking the long way around.

"Not a fan," Setsuna admitted with a light chuckle, "but thank you anyway. I'm all too entirely set on tea, especially after training."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hi River," Isabel said. "How are you doing?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Doing as usual," River said, smiling. "And you?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Dick! Nice radio broadcast," Isabel said, shaking her head. "I assume that's what our esteemed substitute wants to talk to you about?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't a huge fan. Then I came here." She shrugged. "Now? Caffiene is my friend."

"Training? This early? I'm impressed. I should have gone for a run but I'm feeling lazy today."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Same here," she nodded. "No workshops today so I think I'll be lazy for a day."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Should I be proud, then?" Setsuna's head quirked, amused. "That I've been here and still haven't, as I'm sure you'd all say, 'seen the light?' And I always like to practise early; gets a good start on things and the lighting right before dawn is so nice, but so short."

"I might be lazy too," River said. "Or go for a walk." She looked thoughtful.

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"God, I hope that's what it's about." he said. "I'm pretty sure I haven't done anything else wrong lately."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh definitely," Isabel laughed. "It shows good strength of character to resist the call of caffiene."

"I can imagine. Every once in a while I like to go down to the beach and watch the sun rise."

"It's Shark Week. I might not move from the couch today," Isabel admitted. "Of course after multiple documentaries on shark attacks, I might never go back in the ocean again."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She laughed. "You don't remember? Well why don't you get some coffee before you go face your fate."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"It's just the need to eat." River tilted her head, still smiling. "As an owl I hunted small rodents."

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"That's a good idea." said Dick. "The caffeine will help me run faster if she decided to release the hounds on me. Or something."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Tea still has caffeine," Setsuna babbled slightly. "Some even have significantly more than coffee; it's just a matter of where it comes from. While coffee comes from a bean, hard, solid, thick, tea comes from leaves, light, breezy, thin...Very reflective of the drinks themselves, really."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That's interesting," she said. "I never really thought of it like that."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh I get that. I just have no desire to be dinner."

She blinked, "An owl? Fandom weirdness got you to?"

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna gave a small smile. "Most say I probably think too much."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Head back to the dorms if she does. I'm sure people will be more then happy to provide distractions," Isabel offered.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Nah. Thinking is good. It helps keep things in perspective," Isabel told her. "It's when you cross the line to broody that it's a problem." Not that Isabel's been broody herself lately. Nope, not at all.

River stretched her arms out, still holding her coffee cup in her right hand. She rose on to the tip of her toes. "I could fly," she said. "Complete control. Sharp eyes."
