Fifth Floor Common Room [Wednesday evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie had gotten phone calls from both her grandmother and Tara earlier about the coming weekend. Gran had said she definitely wouldn't be able to come due to a recent storm taking out some pretty heavy damage on the house, so finances were limited. Tara had said she'd do what she could, but to expect a visitor no matter what. That was...cryptic and weird, but Sookie had kind of dismissed it as Tara being Tara.

In any case, to cheer herself up a little, she'd moved out to the common room and was whipping up a batch of chocolate-chip cookies. Partly because they made her feel better, and partly because she owed them to someone, so it'd be a good idea to have them on hand. She turned the TV onto Squee, because even if she couldn't sing, other kids could, and they'd make her happier. Plus, fake baby storylines were always amazing.

"You know..." He shook his head and trailed off.

She'd probably be pretty fun to be around if she didn't try so hard not to be.

"I'm plenty of fun to be around, when the second or third thought people have about me doesn't involve the concept of 'lobotomy,'" Emma replied sweetly. "I tend to react badly when people freak about my powers before we finish introductions."

"And really, can you blame me?"

"When you're doing the same thing about mine?" Jaime quirked an eyebrow. Smelled like hypocrisy to him.

Because Jaime Reyes was the opposite of a hypocrite. Really!

Emma was going to take the oh-so-mature high road. By sticking out her tongue.

"You started it," she replied blithely. "And I'm not freaking, merely taking issue with the fact he/she/it/whatever is judging me based on what I am, not who."

[Crashing, night!]

[weldedtomyspine]

"And you're judging me on how something beyond my control reacts." Jaime didn't sound pleased at all, though... the oh-so-mature thing did lighten his mood just a little.

[Sleeeeeep sweet, you-face.]
