The Deck, Friday Afternoon

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

It was a bright enough day and Adora desperately missed the outdoors, so she put together a pot of hot tea and made her way outside to the deck. Settling down on a comfortable chair, she toyed with pen and paper, hoping to be inspired to compose a few letters home.

"Adam deserves to hear some news from me directly, I suppose," she murmured to herself. "But where do I start?" It wasn't likely she'd figure that out for some time, but at least she could enjoy sitting in the sunshine while she considered her options.

So far, all she had was, Dearest Brother. Not much of a start, no.

[Open deck is open! 45 degrees is not that cold.]

Romeo shrugged as he weakly pushed himself up to sitting, holding himself there for a moment because the grounds were spinning around him. "Not the first fight I've been in, either."

"Yeah." Hannibal followed suit and rolled his neck. "You think we're gonna catch shit for this?"

It was a valid concern and Romeo probably knew from whom they'd get it from.

Romeo could think of two directions they'd get crap from, the administration and the girls. He decided to worry more about the girls. Detnetion, after all, was just detention, even if it had meant turning into a newt last time.

"Yurika's going to have a couple things to say, yeah," he decided. "Half of them will be cursing at me in Japanese. Angela -"

He shrugged. He didn't know.

"She has a look," Hannibal filled in. "And she can throw a punch."

His poor arm.

"I might use the 'I ran into a door' excuse."

"It would be worse for me if I tried to lie to Yurika, but I won't rat you out," Romeo offered. He figured he could do that much.

He started the arduous process of getting to his feet.

"I'll say it was a fair fight, if anyone should ask."

"Yeah, same here," he said, getting to his feet and wincing. "On both the ratting out and fair fight thing. Yeah. So, uh, good luck?"

[withoutverona]

"And the same to you, Hannibal," Romeo said, pride making him take care not to touch his face again as he headed toward the dorms.

He'd lost his righteous anger for the moment; right then, he was mostly in pain and worried about what Yurika would have to say.
