Fifth Floor Common Room, Wednesday evening

Bruce was just planning on spending some time in the common room reading now that his books were back to normal. The second he stepped into the room, a tiny arrow hit the floor by his feet. Then another flew a good eight inches above his head.

Bruce noticed the arrows were coming from a small cherubic creature across the room. "Shoo," Bruce said, half expecting it to be a gremlin in a horrifyingly accurate costume. The mini-cupid shot another arrow that went nowhere near Bruce. So Bruce whipped his book just past the cupid's head to put the fear of himself into it. The cupid scurried off as Bruce retrieved his book.

He didn't give it much more thought as he settled in to read about the history of cricket. But it was still out there somewhere. Lurking. Waiting to shoot someone with an arrow, only it wasn't as deadly as that might sound. Dun dun duuuuuun.

[OOC: I'm taking a road trip to Wisconsin tomorrow to measure a restaurant and hopefully be back at a semi-reasonable time. I need entertainment now to make up for the upcoming boring drive up and back. Please help me.]

"In a perfect world? 'You fill my heart with more love than I could have ever known, my dear. Come closer and be with me,'" Bruce said. "And then we would have gone back to one of our rooms to celebrate our new relationship. But I would have settled for a 'Ditto' and a quick kiss."

"Fun as that might have been." What? She had eyes and imagination. "You don't."

"It sure feels like I do," Bruce said,patting his chest above his heart. "In here."

[OOC: And I need sleep! SP?]

"That's probably just indigestion."

[ooc: Sure! Night!]

"I wasn't feeling it before I took a look into your magnificent eyes, so unless you can cause indigestion, I don't think that's the problem," Bruce said.

"Bruce, listen to yourself," Cara said, as patiently as she was able. "You sound insane."

"Only because you drive me crazy," Bruce pointed out.

"I didn't do anything." She'd remember if she had. It took time and effort to destroy someone's sanity.

"You were you. Beautiful. Potentially violent. Who could ask for anything more?" Bruce asked.

Well, at least he wasn't so far gone he was seeing attributes she didn't actually possess. "Someone who doesn't already have someone else?"

Given Mord'Sith attitudes on the subject, Cara was surprised as anyone she was the one bringing that factor up.

"Clark and I are friends. I'm sure we could come to an arrangement," Bruce pointed out.

Cara was not going to lie, that did lead to some interesting and not at all unpleasant mental images. All of which were beside the point.

"Bruce," she made sure every word was very clearly articulated. "I don't love you. I don't want you either."

"Oh," Bruce said. "No chance you could grow to love me, is there?"

Given how deeply she was in denial not only about Clark but also Richard and Kahlan, there really wasn't any chance Bruce would get an answer other than "No."

"Fair enough. But if you ever change your mind, my heart will always be open to you," Bruce said.
wrongkindofsith: (Pretty sure you're insane)

"I'll remember that." If only so she could ask him what he was on when he was acting normal again.
