Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[wantstodirect]

Nine o'clock found Tony in his usual Wednesday night spot on the couch, along with half a bomb bottle of Coke and a bag of microwave popcorn he'd snagged from the third floor.

There hadn't been a new episode last week because of the American elections. This week, if Tony remembered right, should be the one with the immortal French monk.

"I didn't notice them," Tony admitted. "A girl has legs like a horse?" That didn't sound very attractive.

"Warhorse," Cal corrected, and gave Tony a grin for his tone. "Not literally, of course. Purely a metaphor."

"Oh, I figured," Tony said. He still wasn't sure how comparisons to that part of a horse's anatomy would be flattering, but maybe it was a heterosexual thing. "Is your girlfriend still a kitten?" he asked, changing the subject. He remembered seeing her at rehearsal.

"Uhh.."

Well, that was awkward.

"We're not dating anymore," Cal said, eyes shifting away.

"Not," he added, "because she turned into a kitten. I'm pretty sure it's just a temporary thing. Her being a kitten."

"Oh, sorry," Tony said. "You're still, uh, kitten-sitting her, though?"

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Well, yeah," Cal shrugged a shoulder. "We're still friends and everything, and that's what friends do."

Tony nodded. Henry'd look after him if anything happened, though turning into animals was pretty rare in Vancouver. At least, as far as he knew. "I get that. My ex is still a good friend," he said.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Yeah?" Cal asked, looking a little worried. "That sort of thing does really work out sometimes, then? I...I've never really had a...relationship or anything close to it where I was still in regular contact with the other person, so it's kind of new to me. Hell, even officially dating someone in the first place was new to me..."

"So far it's worked," Tony said. "My ex is kinda overprotective. But he's back in Vancouver now, so it's easier."

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that probably does kind of cause a nice buffer zone. Meanwhile, my ex lives right next door, but I don't think I need to worry about Amber getting all overprotective."

"Kittens don't tend to be," Tony grinned.

"I meant when she's back to a person!" Cal said, but he was laughing.

[wantstodirect]

"Does your personality affect what kind of animal you change into?" Tony wondered.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"I...kind of like to think not," Cal admitted. "I turned into a hyena, so I don't want to know what that's supposed to mean if it's supposed to be a reflection of who you are."

Of course, Cal was completely ignorant to the fact that he and the hyena shared very special biological similarities.

[wantstodirect]

"You don't seem hyena-like," agreed Tony, whose entire hyena knowledge consisted of half an Animal Planet special he'd watched over a year ago.

"Good," Cal said with a little bit of a laugh.
