Fourth Floor Common Room; Monday Evening [ 09/21 ].

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

The whole incident with the hair had almost caused Cal to forget exactly what day this was. Monday. That meant more than just having to work at the library. That meant Rumor Girl, on the TV, and Cal was there.

Pretending to ignore it while cooking food. No burgers this time, but something just as good and Greek and handy for TV watching: souvlaki.


[[ I ALMOST FORGOT. THERE WAS WORK. ANYWAY, OPEN. PLEASE DON'T MIND MY CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL IN THIS OOC NOTE ]]

"That'll totally happen," Rose said. "Or if not, you can stop by my room sometime and see a picture. Which isn't the same at all but kinda."

"I might have to do that, she said. "Since I've met Dimitri, it must be on to the next person mentioned in conversations, or something."

She snickered. "Or something. He said you'd been in the gym. What'd you think of Dimitri?"

No reason for asking, shh. Definitely not cause she wanted her friends to think him cool. That was so - high scool.

"Tall," Jaina said, frowning. "He seems like a good guy, though, even if he's quick with the short jokes. And I think you undersold the hotness a little."

"Huh, I never get short jokes," she said. "Maybe I'm at the limit - after a foot and a half shorter, the jokes come out.". She shot Jaina a quick look, not entirely sure that wasn't mocking. "He's amazing fighting too. Though I totally think he went easy on Fiona in Fight Club yesterday."

[solo_sword]

"I was watching that," said Jaina. "Maybe it was just a bad matchup; I was kind of hoping he'd go all-out so I could see what he could do." Because she was going to end up taking him up on that spar, and she wanted to know how bad she was going to get her ass kicked.

Rose so hoped she'd be there to see that. "Could be," she agreed. "Though I dunno if he'd go all out in a spar anyway. He's pretty zen about all that stuff."

[solo_sword]

"He's zen about it?" Jaina frowned.

"Um, like, he's always giving out life lessons and stuff," Rose tried to explain. "One of his 'life lessons' is probably something like 'save your strength for your enemy.'" She made a face. "Right after 'don't hesitate.'"

YES. LEARN THAT ONE, ROSE. GOD.

"Those do make sense," she pointed out. "But I usually stick to hitting."

"This is why I like you," Rose said with a nod. She grinned. "Also because you totally get the appeal of painting your toenails."

[solo_sword]

"No one sees them," she said, an automatic protest. Because wow some people would think something was wrong with her for that.

Rose laughed. "You live in California part of the time! Please tell me that some of that time you're wearing sandals. Because if not, I'm totally taking you shopping."

[solo_sword]

"Well, yeah, but that's John." And Mitch. "That's different."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Different from here or your home?"

[solo_sword]

"People here and at home would look at me funny for the toenail thing, but he's stuck dealing with my occasional weirdness," she explained. "And he knows it."
