4th Floor Common Room [Tuesday, Evening]

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

While Angela couldn't really cook all that well, she did have money and could work a take out menu with the best of them. So for her part in providing a festive sort of atmosphere, she'd ordered a whole bunch of take out that she'd happily share with anyone else sticking around for the holidays. It may not seem like particularly seasonal food to most people, but the thought was there.

She herself was curled up on a couch in front of the television flicking through the various Christmas specials that seemed to be airing tonight.

Seriously, the whole smelling better thing was driving him crazy and Ichigo had somehow managed to wander off from Ino again, following his nose. His nose said there was food in the common room and for some reason he was hungry again. So it was a good thing it was Angela in there as she was nice and would help him to food, right?

He trotted over to the table and barked to get her attention.

The bark startled her a little, and she turned to look towards the source. Angela wasn't used to having her attention demanded by hungry foxes.

"Aww, Hi." Way more interesting than anything on TV. "You're so cute!"

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

He was just going to imagine that cute from now on meant manful, or something. Yep.

He barked again, possibly saying hi to Angela and then turned back to the table. It smelled good, dammit!

Angela uncurled herself from her comfy spot to make her way over. You couldn't quite tell if animals around here were just someone's pet, or actually someone. She was a little curious.

"Hungry?" she asked as she crouched down near him. "I think we can find you something."

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

He barked once, which clearly meant yes and moved closer to say hi. He honestly had no idea how to tell Angela who he was. With Ino it had been easy.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Aww. Yeah, still cute. Not manly in the slightest. Sorry, Ichigo.

"Am I supposed to know you?" she asked as she reached out to pet him. "Or are you always like this?"

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

He barked once at the first question and moved closer to let her pet him.

[intraspective]

"Stupid," she muttered under her breath as she hefted her backpack over her shoulder and peered into the common room. "Hey, Angela."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Ino!" Angela smiled at her. "Hey. You eat yet?"

[intraspective]

"I had a smoothie?" Ino said, kneeling down to peer under one of the couches. "Does that count as food? What do you have?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Chinese food and pizza," Angela replied, watching her curiously a moment. "Did you lose something?" she asked.

[intraspective]

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt to snag some food if you don't mind. And someone actually," she said ruefully. "Small, fuzzy, and orange. Ridiculously cute. Have you seen anyone fitting that description?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela smirked, possibly putting two and two together at this point.

"About so big?" she asked, indicating a distance between her hands. "Sort of fox shaped?"

[intraspective]

"A little more than sort of fox shaped," she said dryly. "He still 'round here, at least?"

Hurley wandered into the common room.

"Oh, hey everybody," he greeted in general. "We're the refugees, huh?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"The last ones left," Angela confirmed with a smile. "Up for Christmas eve eve take out, Hurley?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Totally," Hurley said. "I'm up for it... most days, really."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Well, today you're in luck, because I have it all here and ready," she told him. "Help yourself. I don't want to expose people to my cooking, so I get the good stuff delivered."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"What, you're not, like, secretly a cooking genius?" Hurley joked.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"God no," Angela informed him with a laugh. "I can make it edible, not gourmet."

[intraspective]

"At least with the students," she said, considering that. "I'm not sure who is 'round adult-wise. Hi!"

A beat.

"Watch out for the fox. He'll want you to feed him."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Hurley said. "Konoha doesn't have Christmas, I'm guessing?"

Hey, he remembered the name. Go Hurley!

[intraspective]

She grinned at him, delighted. "It doesn't! And, well, I've got stuff to do here over the holiday, so I'm good. How 'bout you?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Oh, couldn't afford the plane home," Hurley said. "So I get to celebrate Christmas via a phone call."

[intraspective]

"Why not take a portal?" Ino wondered, tilting her head at him.
