Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

Firekeeper and Blind Seer wandered in to the common room at the usual time for Darkest Night, only to find... reruns. Bah.

Oh well. Just because she'd seen this episode before wasn't going to stop her from watching it again.

Hurley poked his head into the common room, then grinned and bounded over.

"You're back!" he said.

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

"Am," she nodded. "Few days, now." The name of the exact day she'd come back escaped her at the moment.

"That's awesome," Hurley said. "We missed you."

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

"I miss too," Firekeeper admitted. "But too much noise and people here. Not so much used to it."

"So, like, you figured out a way home and stuff?" Hurley said.

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

"No," she shook her head. "Preserve is more like home than this castle, so. We goed there."

Hurley wasn't quite following. "Everything was cool and stuff?" he said, thinking he was just being slow.

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

"Preserve was quiet," she confirmed with a nod. "This is cool, yes." Hey, at least she knew the slang meaning of the word now.

Hurley had just been slow, and realization dawned. "So, just had to get some of the great outdoors, huh?"

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "And a wolf for a time."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"...You were a wolf?" Hurley said.

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

"Am still," she insisted.

Hurley was a little confused. But that was nothing new.

"Right," he said. "Well... glad to have you back, yeah."

"Hey Hurley," Dinah said, the realized she had no popcorn, and got up to make some, searching the cupboards for it. "You done with exams yet?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Hey Dinah," Hurley said. "Yep. Had 'em both yesterday. You?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"One left on Friday," she said, finding a bowl and finally, popcorn. She popped a bag in the microwave. "Movies. Mr. Dex already told us what it was going to be on, but it doesn't help much. Are you sticking around all summer?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"I'm gonna visit home for a little bit," Hurley said. "But yeah, I'm planning on being around this summer. Got jobs to keep, and all."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"I know you said you have more than one-- one's the flower shop, right? Where's the other one?" Dinah bit her lip, thinking. "Maybe I should get a job this summer. If I'm not in too many workshops."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Groovy Tunes," Hurley said. "I'm there every Saturday."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Cool. That's got to be a good job." Dinah frowned, thinking. "Mostly I've babysat, and done fast food. I don't want to work at Mooby Land."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Oh man," Hurley said. "If I'd have to go back to Santa Monica for the summer, I'd be stuck at Mr. Cluck's. It's an okay place to work, great chicken, but... fast food work is not really fun at all."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"It really, really isn't." She looked thoughtful. "Still, some of the seniors are maybe leaving pretty early. And other people are going home or on vacation. So maybe there'll be openings?" She opened the microwave as it dinged.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Hurley said. "...wait, doesn't Chad graduate?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah looked briefly wildly mournful. "Nooooooooooooooo!" Then she took a breath. "Yes. Darnit."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"He, like, runs the music store," Hurley said. "I wonder what that'll mean."
