Third Floor Common Room [Saturday afternoon]

Cade was settled in on the sofa with a fork and someone's leftover pumpkin pie (was it yours? He's not sorry. It's good karking pie), flipping through the television channels: every single one of them was playing "It's a Wonderful Life."

"What happened to the karking color?" he demanded.

Definitely not Isabelle's stolen pie. She had a Red Squishy in hand instead, when she sauntered in.

"Something's wrong about the color?"

"There isn't any," Cade complained. "There must be something wrong with the television."
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Suuure you do that.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-11-30 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh." Oh, like Isabelle knew it wasn't supposed to do that. All the TV she'd ever watched had been here on the island, and there hadn't been a lot of it. "Well, I guess black and white and grey are still colors, but that's weird."

"Think we should take the television apart?"

No one thinks that, Cade.

"The movie's really bad anyway so we wouldn't miss anything."
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Give you a chance.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-11-30 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Isabelle shrugged a shoulder and sucked on her Squishy straw for a second before responding.

"I know nothing about machines."

So, that was a lazy vote against taking the thing apart.

"And I'm eating pie," Cade said, "and this couch is pretty karking comfortable. Maybe later."

Laziness for the win?
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Princess.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-11-30 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably for the best, at least for whoever was in charge of the common room TVs and their general wellbeing.

"Maybe," Isabelle agreed. "I honestly don't care enough either way, anyway."

[identity profile] makemyownway.livejournal.com 2013-11-30 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"Want some pie?" Cade asked. "Not mine, but there's some other stuff in the fridge."
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Listening but not buying.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-11-30 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"You are nothing but a common thief, Cade," Isabelle chided, not sounding like she meant it. As long as he didn't steal from her or Alec, she didn't care.

She flopped down onto the couch next to him. "Maybe a bite."

[identity profile] makemyownway.livejournal.com 2013-11-30 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hey," Cade said, looking hurt. "I'm not common."

He held out the pie anyway.
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Well that was lame.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-11-30 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Isabelle snagged herself a piece. Probably went great with the Squishy.

"You are," she said. "I've seen no evidence to the contrary."

[identity profile] makemyownway.livejournal.com 2013-11-30 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Cade made another face. "Well, I don't want to be royalty, either. Just trying to lie low, you know?"
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Just happy to be here.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-11-30 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Are those the only two options?" Isabelle asked, like that had been his point. "I wasn't aware those were the options. Because if they are, I definitely want to be royalty because I am definitely not a common anything."

[identity profile] makemyownway.livejournal.com 2013-12-01 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, what other options can there be?" Cade asked.
seveninchmotto: ([neu] Calm but deadly.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-12-01 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Everything." That was nice and vague. It was a little more theoretical than Isabelle was willing to get, anyway. "Don't view the world in such strict terms."

That was funny from a Shadowhunter.

"Teach me more," Cade teased, holding the pie out again.

[OOC: It's so weird using these icons today...]
seveninchmotto: ([pos] A common language.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-12-01 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Are you trying to bribe me into giving you my knowledge? Because it's not going to work."

Even though she took some pie.

[ooc: :( I know.]

[identity profile] makemyownway.livejournal.com 2013-12-01 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Why not?" Cade asked. "It's good pie."
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Oh me?)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-12-01 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's not good enough," Isabelle told him. "My standards are higher. I have to be stronger than someone who spills all her secrets for some pie."

[identity profile] makemyownway.livejournal.com 2013-12-01 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Why?" Cade asked, honestly interested.
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Little smirk.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-12-01 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Why wouldn't I be?" she retorted. "There's very little to be achieved like that. And I know my worth."

Some would say all too well.

[identity profile] makemyownway.livejournal.com 2013-12-01 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Cade smiled. "Yeah, you karking do. You remind me of people I knew at home."

There weren't a lot of shrinking violets among the Jedi.
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Just happy to be here.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-12-01 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, same with Shadowhunters. Something about being superior to everyone else...

Isabelle smirked "Well, I approve of them already, just for that."

[identity profile] makemyownway.livejournal.com 2013-12-01 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course you do," Cade said, smirking back. "I'm not gonna karking introduce you to any of them. That would end badly for me."
seveninchmotto: ([pos] A common language.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-12-01 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"And why is that?"

Was he going to crumble under their combined awesome?

[identity profile] makemyownway.livejournal.com 2013-12-01 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"Because the combined amazing-ness would make the island self-destruct," Cade declared.

He wasn't going to mention that all of his Jedi friends had died.
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Actual laughter.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-12-01 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Good answer."

Also far less depressing than what he wasn't mentioning. And flattery was always a good choice with her, let's face it.

"Much appreciated."

[identity profile] makemyownway.livejournal.com 2013-12-02 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, you know me," Cade said. "I'm a shameless karking suck-up when it comes to beautiful women."
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Kiiinda flirty.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-12-02 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
Isabelle snickered. "It's a very good trait to have." Said a beautiful woman. "Not that I'm biased."

She was.

[identity profile] makemyownway.livejournal.com 2013-12-02 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course you are," Cade said, smirking. "You have eyes and a mirror."
seveninchmotto: ([pos] Relaxed.)

[personal profile] seveninchmotto 2013-12-02 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Isabelle preened. It was only natural.

"Well, maybe a bit biased," she said. "But it's only natural."

[identity profile] makemyownway.livejournal.com 2013-12-02 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"It is," Cade agreed with another tiny smirk. "I've seen a lot uglier."
