Fourth Floor Common Room [evening]

Given how many of her conversations that afternoon had turned to food, Sookie had found herself kind of homesick in spite of herself, especially after facing the prospect of eating what she found in the common room.

So, she took it upon herself to run out and grab some fresh ingredients, and returned back to the common room to boil some rice and throw everything moddable that she'd bought and found that looked good into the pot to make some jambalaya.

She'd taken a little more care and put together a berry cobbler, admittedly using frozen berries. Her gran had always said it tasted the same anyway, so long as you used enough butter.

She kept the TV on while she cooked and familiarized herself with the kitchen, and tried to adjust to the technology and appliances that were ten years ahead of her time. It was fairly easy to figure out, even if some of the commercials threw her for a loop.

[open as common rooms tend to be! look, the big posts were scaring me.]

Technically speaking, she hadn't either. Ahem.

"I'm not the judging sort, Priestly," she confirmed with a wink.

Flirting was totally fun.

"Ah, but are you the love 'em and leave 'em sort?"

Amber shrugged. "I don't know. I've never had it to leave it."

They were talking about sex, right? Er...

Priestly wasn't actually sure, any more. "But would you still respect me in the morning?"

"Yah, you betcha," she said without hesitation. "Would you still respect me?"
lovemykilt: (tattooed love boy)

Priestly nodded hard enough that his mohawk wobbled.

Amber stared at that mohawk and grinned. "Tell me when," she asked.

He was a teenaged boy. He was ready to go the moment she first smiled at him.

But he was also wary enough to realize that saying so would probably be a mistake. And that getting it right could take some preparation.

"Gimme time to get settled a bit?"

"Okay, and let me add that there are a lot of great places to eat dinner," she said. They were talking about dinner right?

Um.

"Steak, Chinese, pizza... whatever sounds good."

[personal profile] lovemykilt 2009-01-04 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, right, dinner!

They had to do a date first. That'd even been his stipulation.

He was a genius.

"We'll see what we feel like on the night?"

[identity profile] minnesota-teen.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
She nodded. "Yep, sounds great," she agreed.

A beat.

"You have any other girls hitting on you today?" Because she could only imagine.
lovemykilt: (small grin)

Priestly laughed. "Does walking up and kissing me 'cause she thought I was someone else count?"

[identity profile] minnesota-teen.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Yah, oh my gosh it does!" she laughed. "Who was it?"

"Peyton. She invited me over to compare music."

"You're going to have so many girlfriends, Priestly," she said, shaking her head. "But what an awesome way to start out here, yah?"
lovemykilt: (existential)

[personal profile] lovemykilt 2009-01-04 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
"You think?" Priestly wasn't so sure. It was one of the few parts of his life he didn't have that much confidence in.

[identity profile] minnesota-teen.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure," she said, being positive but wondering at his hesitation there. "I mean, don't you think? Girls like individuality."
lovemykilt: (so very emo)

[personal profile] lovemykilt 2009-01-04 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Remember that thing I said about girls laughing in my face?"

[identity profile] minnesota-teen.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Amber frowned. "That won't happen here," she said. "If it does, I'll kick their asses."

...

"But why? Is it the hair? Piercing's? What?"
lovemykilt: (existential)

[personal profile] lovemykilt 2009-01-04 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Mostly, yeah. Girls back home are more interested in the pretty boys with swoopy hair."

[identity profile] minnesota-teen.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Yeah. Well, there were those kind of guys around here too.

"People here tend to focus on the person and not so much the appearance. Though seriously, trust me, you're hot and you got more than just that going for you."

Amber was really good for ego's.
lovemykilt: (what?)

[personal profile] lovemykilt 2009-01-04 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, yeah she was. Of course, he'd gotten plenty of snap judgments the other way around before he'd gone punk. It all frustrated him.

"That's good to hear. I hope you're right, about the appearance thing."

[identity profile] minnesota-teen.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Time will tell, right?" she said positively. "And if not, well then just come to my room." Hee.

"I'll totally keep that in mind. Thanks!"
