Sixth Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening [WARREN'S BIRTHDAY PARTY!]

[longislandiceme]

Through some miracle of timing, Bobby had actually managed to get everything for Warren's party set up earlier before heading off to Karla's.

Now, though, it was Warren's turn. Hopefully people would still have room for even more food after a BBQ, because the amount of food two brilliant bakers plus one person with access to a very good catering service was impressive.

At least people could work all those excess calories off in the ball pit?

[OOC: up early for slowplay, yay!]

"Perhaps I should let you enjoy the rest of the party," Bod suggested, stepping back a touch but reaching into his pocket for a pen and grabbing a napkin from nearby so he could scribble something on it.

"I'm sure you'd like to see other people besides me," he added, eyes still on the napkin while he wrote.

"Probably shouldn't deprive everyone of my wonderful presence," Kate replied, valiantly resisting the urge to try to peer at what he was writng. Instead, she glanced around. "Or I could just go fall asleep against a wall somewhere."

"Mm, if you need a place to fall asleep, you should find a bed for that," he advised wisely before finishing the scrawling and folding the napkin several times. "I've heard they're more comfortable and provide a more restful night's sleep."

He kept the napkin folded tightly in his hand for a few moments, debating a few things. He kept most of that off his face though.

"You're just full of helpful advice, aren't you?" she asked, amused, eyebrow raised.

And eyeing his hand. Of course.

"Think I'm gonna miss the bed I have at home now that I'm here again, though."

He might have been holding onto that napkin just to tease her a little now especially since he could see her interest.

"I know you can sleep restfully here," he reminded her. "I think you'll do fine in your bed. I've seen you sleep before."

"Creep."

No, that would've required him saying he'd watched her sleep, and she wouldn't have found that creepy coming from him. But she felt like saying it anyway.

"I might still be weirded out."

"If you find yourself having trouble sleeping," he said, stepping a little closer to her and pushing the napkin into her hand, "come knock on my door. I'll help you."

Bod's handwriting was neat and precise on the napkin so it'd make the message of I missed you. And whenever I thought of you while you were gone, it was almost always something simple like laying with you or getting stuffed animals thrown at me. I'm still here. rather easy to read.

Of course, he kept his hand in hers for a little big longer than necessary, obstructing her ability to read it for just a few seconds more.

"So you've started dealing sleeping pills?"

Since he'd teased her, she was going to make a point of not reading the napkin straight after getting it. Just because she could.

"I guess if you need help sleeping, you'll see," he said and let her hand go while stepping back. He glanced down at the napkin before looking back at her. "Enjoy the rest of the party, Kate."

With one last, brief smile, he wandered back into the crowd.

"You too, Bod."

...Totally unfolding the napkin the very second his back was turned. And then reading, and smiling and biting on her lip before stuffing the napkin into her pocket.

Right. Party. People. Stuff like that to focus on.
