Chester A. Arthur Living Room - Thursday morning

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

Prince Edward was seated on the couch, flipping through the channels on the television by way of remote control. The things he's learned since coming to this place. Ahhhh.

But he wasn't in the mood for happy. No, he was not. He woke up in a foul mood and longed for something to hunt. Perhaps Rangering tomorrow would prove worthy. His dark mood will no doubt last till then.

Someone should cook him breakfast, for his stomach would not shut up.


[It's open, of course.]

He didn't even nod, he just kept the ice to his nose and closed his eyes.

"It'll be all right," Hannibal said, trying to sound reassuring even as he tried to get comfortable. "It will."

He hoped.

"If she see's you first, what will you say?" he asked, grateful for the reassurace even if he was doubtful.

"...if she asks, I can tell her I started it," he said, trying to be a nice guy for once.

Edward looked over at Hannibal, and for once he was impressed by the show of decency. "That's very unselfish of you."

Ah, but where was Edward's honor in that?

"But I can't let you do it. Tell her the truth, if it comes to that."

"Hopefully she wont' even come and find me," he said. "And I can just heal up and be done with it."

Edward searched his face. Healing might take longer that he thought. But clinging to hope sounded good. "I have two classes tomorrow. I cannot hide, sadly."

"Yeah, I've got one too," he said, trying to think of ways around that. "Wear sunglasses and a hat."

He'd just be moving slow and keeping his bruised cheek turned away.

"Call it a hangover."

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"Good idea," he replied. "I will have to find these things."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"You can borrow mine," he offered. "You've got more need than I do."

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, Hannibal."

A slight pause.

"I think I will think before I wish to bloody your face next time."

"Feeling's mutual," Hannibal said. "Maybe we just needed to get it out of our systems."

Hopefully.

"We'll be okay."

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

Hopefully.

"Yes, we'll be okay." There was nothing to do but agree.
