4th Floor Common Room [Friday Evening]

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

This week was working very, very nicely for Angela, thank you. She hadn't kissed or flirted with the wrong people, or been without someone to help her out when she wanted to get rid of that excess pent up energy.

This last few days, had been kind of amazing (if tiring) as far as she was concerned, and the amount of time she'd spent outside her room, had been minimal.

Occasionally though, there was a need for things like food and showers, and it was the first of those things that had driven her from her cosy room and boyfriend to make sandwiches (easy things, she didn't have the concentration for more than that) and she was pottering around the common room kitchen in hot pants and a t-shirt putting them together, humming to a jingle on the TV as she did so.

Peyton was unhappy and pissy and oh GOD frustrated and on her way to the roof to just get AWAY when she heard a familiar voice in the 4th floor common room and poked her head in. "Angela?"

Angela glanced over her shoulder as she searched a cupboard, shooting her a quick smile. "Hey, sweetie."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

Peyton came in the room and slouched on one of the couches. "You are far too cheerful."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I have had a great couple of days," she enthused, smiling as she pulled a jar from that sideboard.

A little on the achey side, but only in the good sort of way. Benefits of having a boyfriend through all this.

Peyton narrowed her eyes at her. "Don't even go there. The only thing I've gotten from this whole... mess is detention tomorrow morning."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela made a zipping motion across her lips, however much she might be tempted to overshare. She was definitely tempted, in a way she generally wasn't on a normal day.

"What happened?"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"I was TAing for Culture Shock and I was feeling all, well, you know, hot and bothered, and I asked Arthur, the other TA, what was up 'cause he seemed off and he just started staring and next thing I know Merlin is there being all threatening And then Captain Algren told us all to get out and when I protested that I hadn't been doing anything he gave me detention."

Yes, still bitter and pissy about that.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

... You could get detention even once you'd graduated. News to her.

"All the hot and bothered is really upping the tension around here," she noted, fanning a hand at herself absently. Why, Angela couldn't quite understand.

"Only if you're not getting sex," Peyton grumbled.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Mm, yes, sex. There might've been a slightly hazy smile at that as she went over the last couple of days in her head.

It... probably wasn't all that difficult to figure out what she was thinking about.

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Don't even go there," Peyton said even more grumpily.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Hey, hey, I said nothing," she pointed out, giving up on finding peanut butter and just making her way slowly to settle on the couch with Peyton and her jar of chocolate spread.

No, she was just thinking it.

"I swear I can hear you thinking about it," Peyton said, crossing her arms and looking amazingly miserable.

When Triela walked into the common room she looked absolutely calm. That was because she was.

"Good evening, Angela," she said, voice perhaps ever so slightly unnaturally flat.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Triela," she greeted, giving a half wave with the jar of strawberry jelly she was holding. "Enjoying the heat?"

Angela most certainly was, yes.

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"I hadn't really noticed it," she admitted easily. Which was true at the moment even if it hadn't been earlier.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"... it's like a sauna, sweetie," Angela said after a moment. "In... more ways than one."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela considered that. "I suppose you're right. I just hadn't noticed."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"That... kind of sucks," Angela said. Well, she was loving this little hormone surge, and expected other people to be appreciating it in the same way.

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"You like being uncomfortably warm?" she asked, blinking twice.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I like the little hormone boost going around," she corrected, grinning. "I could do without the weather, keep the metaphorical heat up."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Oh. I take emotional suppressants." Well, she was now.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela frowned a little, thinking back to previous conversations with Triela. "Going through emotions like this, it's a good thing," she said.

Just because she was having a little trouble keeping her mind on the mundane and normal things, and off the various images flitting through her head. Still good.

"They're distracting," Triela pointed out in the same tone she'd been using since she walked into the room.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"And fun," Angela pointed out. "Really... really fun." She sighed, letting her mind wander for just a moment
