Fifth Floor Common Room [evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie had spent part of the evening on the phone with her Gran and with Tara, trying to get either of them to come visit for Parents' Weekend. The result -- aside from promises that both of them would try to make it -- was a craving for something from home.

Which was brought her out to the common room to bake a pie. This served dual purposes:

a) It smelled great and would likely provide her with company as a result, and

b) Now she had something to eat while watching Yell, which was apparently from her time but she'd still never seen. So pie seemed like a good accompaniment to being curled up on the couch and staring wide-eyed at the screen. (It was scary, okay.)

[omg I am bad at posting CRs without food in them. what is wrong with me? but I was given more iconses by SOMEONE, so clearly I had to post! open!]

"Weeeee kinda took Rose's door off the wall and then covered the hole with drywall to make it look like there was never a door there." He gave Sookie his best innocent look.

Okay, she really really wanted to scold him.

But she kind of just ended up giggling. "That's really good! I mean, I'm sure Rose didn't think so, but she...probably deserved it, right?" She arched an eyebrow. "She did do something to deserve it, right? I'm not gonna find my own door the next victim of disappearance?"

"She totally did," Bobby said, blushing briiiiight red as he thought about how gullible he'd been. "I don't prank people without good reason. Well, except Scott, and even then, it's because he's in desperate need of lightening up sometimes."

See, now he was blushing again, and she'd already peeked once. So she had to be a normal person and ask, "Why'd you go all red? She did somethin' bad, huh?"

"She tried to convince me of something not very nice," Bobby complained. Had convinced him, at least for a few minutes.

"Did it work?" she had to ask. It had to be something really not nice, to warrant the door thing.

[longislandiceme]

"Yeah," Bobby said sheepishly. "For, I mean, about five minutes? And then I called Hank and checked and he laughed at me for about fifteen minutes," he sighed.

"You have to know I'm dyin' to find out what it was," Sookie noted. "But it sounds like door-hiding was the way to go."

"It's embarrassing. And stupid. And I was stupid for believing it," Bobby sulked.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure you weren't," she said, reaching over to pat his arm, because awww sulky. "I'm sure it was something totally believable! Rose is a really good liar. She told me something embarrassing about me, too, when I met her!" Which Sookie had started, but that was not important here.

Bobby gave her a grateful smile at the reassurance, even though he was still pretty convinced he'd been kinda dumb and gullible. "I think that might be her superpower," he said with a sigh.

"Maybe," Sookie agreed. "She almost had me convinced of something I actually made up! She's that good."
