Fifth Floor Common Room, Wednesday evening

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

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.]

"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.

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