Third Floor Common Room; Late Sunday Afternoon [ 11/14 ].

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

Alexander was just about at his wits' end with the strange way he'd been feeling this week, but he had done well, he felt, with staving it off with a lot of coffee ice cream and handwavy movie nights that resulted in a few close calls and scooting slightly away from the normal proximity. And so it was this afternoon that hewas feeling the need for another coffee ice cream antidote and went into the common room to fetch it.

Only to open the freezer door to a truly disturbing image.

"No!" Alexander muttered, staring for a moment before he started shifting through the contents within. "No, it couldn't possibly...how...How could we have honestly gone through all of that ice cream already?"

He was just going to stare into the freezer in shock and dismay some more.

If anything, it was at least cooling him down.

"Not to worry," said Alexander, trying an encouraging smile. "After all, we do tend to find a way to soothe things over in the end, wouldn't you say?"

"We do," Elphaba said. "And... this is probably just all the island's fault. It's been a week."

That wasn't entirely true, but she'd deflect some of the embarrassment by saying so.

"It...certainly has been an interesting one, that is to be sure," said Alexander, clearing his throat once more and only able to look mildly disturbed.

And forlorn about his ice cream again.

"I suppose it would be silly to offer to go... purchase ice cream with you?" Elphaba asked.

"That doesn't sound silly at all," Alexander said with a faint smile, his brain almost thankfully squarely back on ice cream now. "In fact, I think that sounds quite pleasant."

"There is a place in town, where Zack has taken me," Elphaba said. "We can leave now, if you would like."

Alexander sent another rueful glance toward the freezer before deciding, "That would be quite nice, yes, if you have nothing else to do at the moment?"

"I need to be back before too long to take care of my tik-tok child," Elphaba said. "But I can make time for a pleasant trip with a friend."

"We can certainly make it a quick sojourn," Alexander agreed, with a nod. "No need to worry."

Especially since quick was probably a better idea; there was less chance for other incidents, that way.
