Fourth Floor Common Room | Friday Late Evening | 9/4

Hayley was having trouble sleeping again. She'd tried everything. Counting jumping sheep, counting sheep jumping in a minefield, the usual sort of thing. None of it was working. So Hayley padded out to the common room in her bright pink pajamas (thank you, Elle).

She turned on the TV, only to discover late night re-runs of Vanessa Saturn. Wow, TV had change a lot since her time...

[[Open to one and all]]

[[eta: collapsing asleep now, folks. Will pick up SP tags tomorrow, if that's okay.]]

"I think so," Hayley said, looking over from the TV. "I mean, I sure think it's interesting."

"Fair enough," she laughed softly, then paused. "I'm just g-getting a drink--did you want anything while I'm up?"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, you got anythin' good?" Hayley said.

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Good was... rather subjective, really.

"There's juice," she reported, "apple, orange and--mango. And a l-lot of soda, both diet and regular. Ginger ale and l-lemonade too."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Mango juice?" Hayley said. "I never ever had that before. What's it like?"

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"It's good," Hinata assured her. "It's got a s-softer bite than orange juice. Would you like to try it?"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yes please!" Hayley said. "I could always do with a bit of soft biting!"

...Hinata paused, then decided she really didn't want to know if that was more than about the juice.

"No problem," she assured her, getting out the juice and pulling down two glasses. Wait-- "I'm Hinata," she added. "It's nice to meet you."

"I'm Hayley," she said. "You got wonderful hair, Hinata."

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

She flushed. Almost dropped the juice container.

"Th-Thank you," Hinata said, pouring the juice out. "No one has ever said that before."

"I'm startin' ta think people around here are half blind," Hayley said. "Nobody's tried to neck with Elle, no one mentions your great hair, it's practically criminal!"

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Her hair was super dark blue, Hinata just figured that since she was so quiet no one really noticed her in any fashion.

"Or maybe," she suggested, "they're so used to it that they don't think to s-say it?"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Well, that'd mean they all think its gorgeous, right?" Hayley said. "That might be it."

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

The blush was never going to die at this rate, no.

"Here," she said, instead, bringing the juice over. "Mango juice f-for your enjoyment."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Thank you!" Hayley said, taking the glass and sampling it with a sip. "Oh, that's delicious!"

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Hinata laughed softly.

"Glad to have introduced you to it th-then," she said lightly.

"I'm gonna have to find and try an actual mango, now," Hayley decided.
