Fourth floor common room, Sunday morning

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

After a relatively comfortable night in the stables, Karal had brought Trenor back to the dorms. He wanted treats, so Karal had agreed to make him breakfast.

Thankfully, his meagre cooking skills were not to be tested. Trenor, on a mad exploration of the common room, had discovered that chocolate fell into his waiting hands every time he opened a cupboard door.

Oh, Sunlord. Karal sank down to sit on the couch, Altra perched on its back so Karal could watch Trenor. "Be careful, Trenor," he called, and, unsurprisingly, there was a sudden crash.

"Oops." Trenor, shamefaced, picked up the pot. "It's not broken, see!" He trotted over to wave it at Karal and Altra, both of whom ducked.

"Umm, that's good. Why don't you see if you can find more chocolate? I'm sure Aravis would like some."

Trenor happily went back to opening cupboards and catching chocolate. He was amassing quite a pile.

[ooc: Everywhere, chocolate, wheeeee-eeeeee; it be open as a common room be! ETA: Sleep has ambushed me all unexpected, much like the GIANT COCKROACH that was just on my bedroom wall. Nightmares, I tell you. Nightmares. Happily pick up any pings in the morning.]

Jeff wasn't sure if he was supposed to even walk Nana anymore, seeing as how she was a person now, but the choice was taken out of his hands at rapid pace. Or rather, the pace of happy running, heavy, formerly Saint Bernard feet down the stairs (although occasionally, she'd slip in a foreleg or two) towards the fourth floor common room.

"Nana!" he called, "Come back!"

All things considered, dealing with Nana as a human wasn't much different than dealing with Nana as a dog.

Trenor trotted to the door and stuck his head out when he heard the noise. His eyes lit up when he saw Nana. It didn't matter that they were both in different shapes -- he recognised his playmate. "Hi!" he called.

Altra jumped off the couch and padded over, Karal watching through his eyes from his spot on the couch.

Nana's large (and still mostly plump) form came to a sudden stop. "Wot?" she bristled, her eyes big, and she backed up a little. That bumped her arse straight into Jeff, who looked like he'd assume the foetal position and hide any moment now, if there was any room for him to do it.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Trenor cocked his head, uncertain, and looked over his shoulder at Karal. "It's all right, Trenor," he called as Altra crouched to watch them all. "Jeff, do you need some help?"

Trenor turned back and looked earnestly at Nana. "Do you want to play?" Ignoring the fact that his idea of playing with Nana had, to this point, involved chasing her while she fled in terror.

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"...Yeah," Jeff mumbled. He didn't specify what kind of help, nor did he particularly seem up for it. He sort of slid past the wall, getting out of what he had mentally termed the 'Injury Zone' surrounding his erstwhile pet.

"...Wot?" Nana repeated, backing away herself. "You! Stinky bad-nose!"

Ben poked his head into the common room. "Karal!" He blinked. "And a lot of chocolate!"

Best morning ever.

Trenor looked up, eyes bright and alert. "It comes out of the doors!" he said, and trotted over to hold out a handful.

Karal hopped off the couch, and he and Altra made there way over. "Good morning, Ben," he said with a smile. "This is Trenor. He's," he paused, gave a mental shrug, and finished, "usually a horse."

[momslilassassin]

Ben laughed. "Aravis mentioned something like that to me recently," he said. "I hope our conversation didn't make this happen again!"

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"You do have to be careful what you say." Karal rubbed his forehead, smiling a little as Trenor leaned forward to try and sniff Ben's hair. "I once made tiny sheep appear by talking about them, so anything is possible. In this case, though, I think Fandom oddness is to blame. There seems to be a lot of animals running around as humans."

"I met John's turtle yesterday," Ben said with a nod. "He was mean."

After trying to search the cupboards in the third floor common room for coffee and finding mostly chocolate, Jaina decided to go one floor up in case that was any better.

Though noting the commotion in the kitchen, she was slightly distracted by being seriously amused.

[momslilassassin]

"I think one of them's normally a horse," Ben told her wisely.

[solo_sword]

"Oh, I know," Jaina said. "I met him last year. Uh, in this form."

[momslilassassin]

"Aravis told me about this. I didn't think I'd get to see it," he said. "Also? John's turtle's a pain in the ass."

[solo_sword]

With really good hearing. "I don't want to talk about the turtle," she decided quickly. "Though apparently he likes JGOB, or something. Who knew."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Trenor spotted her and immediately ran over. "Hi!" he said happily, having a great fondness for the person who gave him chips. "Do you want some chocolate?"

[solo_sword]

Jaina couldn't help it. She just liked Trenor. "Sure," she smiled. "No problem finding treats today, huh?"

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

He shook his head vigorously. "They fall down when you open a door." He reached out to tug at her sleeve. "Come and see!"

"Hi." Robin waved. "How's your weekend going?"

[solo_sword]

"Good," she said, not sure whose pet he was supposed to be. "Yours?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Really really strange." Robin grinned. "The height difference alone is a little overwhelming."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin was still not quite used to being human. He still ached from his collision with the cabbage cart yesterday, but at least his scraped arm was healing.

"Hi." he waved to the people in the room.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal smiled at him. "Hello," he said and Trenor shifted his weight from foot to foot, then held out a chocolate to the new arrival. "Do you want some chocolate?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I'd love some, thanks." Robin smiled. "Are you always human?"

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Trenor shook his head and held out a slightly sticky chocolate. "I'm a horse. I used to be Karal's horse, but now I'm Aravis' horse."
