4th Floor Common Room, Wednesday Morning

[unborn-renegade.livejournal.com]

Another day, another... session of staring at the TV while it played motorcross repeats from Precursors know when. Jak was getting bored again, which meant he was five minutes from heading back to Haven to yell at Torn and maybe get a mission out of it.

But that could come later.

Right now, it was motors. And a bag of chips. Jak was a simple man.

"I think Emma would understand why you were asking so many," Karla said thoughtfully. "She doesn't get mad at me when I ask a lot. Besides, like I said, Beka likes you, right? So Emma is already predisposed to liking you, I'm sure."

She leaned over to add, "It's entirely possible that you two won't get along. No one can like everyone. But I wouldn't borrow trouble before its time. Don't be so nervous that you miss out on making a friend."

She decided not to mention the part where Emma could sense fear and wouldn't scruple to use it for her own amusement. Even Karla could tell that would be counter-productive. "If nothing else, look at the people who like Emma. Generally, if you like and trust the people who like and trust her, there's not much to worry about."

Jonas nodded slowly before saying, "As of right now, it's mostly a moot point because who's to know if I'll ever meet her? I'm not nearly as social as most people and I'd be too afraid of bothering someone to just approach them and introduce myself."

Karla winked. "Well, you did promise to come to the show tomorrow night, right? You can probably meet her then. You can bring Beka along and tell Emma that Beka wanted to compliment her on a part well-acted." She chuckled. "I'm kidding about all that. I'm sure you'll meet her sometime, though. She's a friend of mine and Beka's roommate. I don't think you'll be able to escape her notice long."

"We'll see," he laughed, sounding slightly hesitant about meeting someone new but refusing to completely reject the idea. "I will be there and I'll bring Beka providing they allow small dogs in the theatre. I won't miss it, nervousness aside."

"It'll be fun," Karla promised. "I'm playing somebody's mother of all things. Afterwards, you can tell me how old I looked and make me cry."

"I'm not going to make you cry," he promised, making a face. "But, I will be there and I'll make sure I say hello once you're done with everything. I promise."

"I was teasing anyway, darling," Karla laughed. "As if someone could could make me cry by saying I look old! But I look forward to seeing you and saying hello anyway. I do hope you'll enjoy the play."

"I'm sure I will," he said, inclining his head in a nod. "I have faith that you all will put on an entertaining show."
