Fifth floor common room, Saturday evening

[solo_sword]

After detention there had been some time to check messages and figure out if there was anything she needed to catch up on after spending her morning cleaning up alligator parts, and then she'd gone for the second shower. Her priorities were a bit skewed, but 'ew' was 'ew'.

Since she had some time on her hands, she settled into the common room of her apparently adopted floor with popcorn and her comlink on the table in front of her, flipping through channels and being really glad that Scifi's monster movies tonight had nothing to do with lizards.


[Omg people I have not actually played in TWO WHOLE DAYS. Seriously, no SP pings or ANYTHING. I need to post a CR to fix that. Open!
Oh, and it's Ogre and Grendel on Scifi tonight, if anyone is curious.Yes, I checked.]

"Maybe I just like your floor." She saw no real difference in any of the floors.

"Because I'm here." So smug.

[solo_sword]

"I could go downstairs," Jaina pointed out.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"But you then you wouldn't have me around," he reminded her.

[solo_sword]

"You wouldn't follow?" Not that she would go, because if he followed that would probably lead to traumatizing Valentine and it had only been a week in the room.

"You have a roommate," he made a face of disapproval. At least Inara had not been much for the room.

[solo_sword]

"Which is why I'm not actually going anywhere," she assured him. Maybe she was predictable that way.

"Maybe I should wander off and see if you follow," John suggested.

[solo_sword]

Jaina shrugged. "I think you know how that would go."

Meaning, she'd wait about two minutes before doing so, just to make him wonder.

"I think I know. But it'll depend on how bored you are," he knew that, too.

[solo_sword]

"You think you know me so well." Which he did.

After this long, I would hope I do or they're gonna take away the grant for my book," he teased.

[solo_sword]

"Oh, sweetie. I'm not nearly that famous. Yet," she teased.

"No, it's called, How to Date a Jedi," John grinned. "Nothing specific about you, Jane." Kidding. Really. Complete with a look that begged her not to hit him.

[solo_sword]

She glared at him, but she knew better. Because of the look he gave her. "And what's in it?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Oh, helpful tips for kids like Ben, new to the dating thing and finding themselves into girls with lightsabers."

[solo_sword]

"Okay, without mentioning Ben's name because I'm still repressing, what sort of thing would you tell these kids?" She was completely curious.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"First, I'd suggest they learn how to fight. Then, make sure they think of normal, entertaining things to do on dates," he replied easily.

[solo_sword]

"Like movies and golf?" she guessed.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Entertaining things," he clarified. "Whatever could be new and interesting to people from a galaxy far far away." Which to John was movies and golf.

[solo_sword]

"So you're encouraging creativity," she inferred.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely," John told her. "Would you disagree?"

[solo_sword]

"Nope. You've kept me this long, you have to be doing something right." It was also possible she was just easy. But probably not.

He tossed an arm behind her on the sofa. "That, I can agree with."
