5th floor common room - Morning

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Jacob had woken up to a lot of snow, a powerless dormitory and a growling stomach. The latter two had cause a problem because cornflakes were just cornflakes and Jacob wanted to more. The blizzard hadn't caused much of an obstacle, not when you could change into a werewolf built to brave cold weather. He'd been across the island in a flash and while he'd gotten some strange looks for showing up in just a pair of jeans at J,GOB, the baker hadn't asked any questions. Which was once more evidence of how much the people on the island had gotten used to situations like this and luckily, the bakery had a back up generator. So Jacob had gotten a huge bag full of pastries for 'those poor students'. He suspected that J,GOB hadn't really been expecting a whole lot of customers.

So now, said bag had been upended on the dinner table. The bag itself had been thrown into the bin in Jake's room. It wouldn't do to have anyone take notice of the teeth marks on it. Jacob lay sprawled upon the couch in just a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, his hair still a little wet, while he munched on a muffin. In his boredom, he might just end up eating his way through the stack of food.

Best not to let him stay bored.

"Whole island as far as I could tell," Jacob replied, glancing up at her. "I brought food. Morning."

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

"You went out into that mess?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

And that's when she noticed his outfit.

"... Are you just immune to frostbite?"

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Jacob grinned at her and shrugged a shoulder. "Maybe? Or I just enjoy it." Which wasn't likely.

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

"Nobody could be that insane," Elena huffed. "I can't feel most of my toes. And I'm already wearing three pairs of socks."

Because whining would totally warm the room up.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Maybe you just have a cold constitution," he suggested.

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

"And here I thought I was a pretty warm person," she teased lightly.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"You're wearing three pairs of socks," Jacob pointed out and he was going to move just enough to see said socks. "I think you just proved yourself wrong."

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

Was he radiating heat? Seriously. Maybe he was half-furnace or something. She moved closer, both for the heat and because ... well. Hot guy.

"Are you saying I'm doomed to be an ice queen?" she asked.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Maybe just a little bit, mostly he just had a high body temperature.

"Only as long as the blizzard lasts," he grinned. He could probably be convinced to make room for her on the couch he was occupying.

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

Well, then, she was going to sit down next to him.

He was warm. Maybe he was just always on fire or something.

"Ice queens usually have hot guys waiting around to thaw them out," she joked. "I wonder if I'll get that lucky?"

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

He shifted to his side, his back against the back of the couch. "I don't know. Do you see anyone around that you think you can order around?"

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

"I could try," she said, drawing herself up primly. "I could do my best impression of the President, but I'd need a better suit."

Rufus had exquisite taste in clothes.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Jake reached up to tug her blanket, looking amused. "But then you'd even colder."

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

"I think Rufus could just look at the cold weather and it would apologize and slink meekly away," she laughed.

Okay, she was wriggling closer. So?

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

He wasn't saying anything. "I think you're going to need to practise that look first," he informed her. "I think the weather would be more impressed if you weren't bundled up like that."

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

"Are you doubting my ability to be haughty?" Elena asked, raising an eyebrow.

Ugh, she was going to have to take the blanket off for this, wasn't she? A few seconds to psych herself up for that.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Probably, but hey, she'd get 108 degrees for her pain.

"I'm just saying you shouldn't underestimate the weather," he said.

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

Also, her 'tude could keep her warm! Right?

Elena tossed off the blanket and got to her feet, wearing her disdain like a heavy cloak.

"What is the meaning of this?" she announced, hands on her hips. "I do not recall giving my permission for the weather to interrupt my plans. I am thoroughly displeased. I highly recommend someone take care of this situation, immediately, or you shall discover just how very displeased I am. Do I make myself clear?"

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Jacob snorted and he pushed up to glance through the window. "You know, I'm all impressed, but I think I'm the only one."

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

"Apparently, I lack the attitude to stop the snow from falling," she sighed, in mock dismay. "My boss will be so disappointed in me."

(RL calls! I must away! Back in a few hours or so, I hope. SP yay?)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Hey, he can come over here and try it himself," Jacob snickered. "It was a good attempt."

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

"Worth the sacrifice of the blanket?" she asked, giggling. And shivering. Fuck, it was cold. "Not all of us run a constant fever, you know."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"The blanket would definitely have ruined the effect," he said seriously. He wasn't going to comment to the second part.

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

"Small consolation if I die of frostbite," she teased, stepping closer. "Isn't this where you offer to warm me up?"

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"I could," he mused, pretending to think about it. It only ended up in a laugh and he rolled back, patting the couch beside him. "Come here."
