Second floor common room- Saturday morning

[lovethatjourney]

Alexis had no idea why she had a peacock. And there'd maybe been a little shrieking at having a bird in her room when she woke up, but it'd been short, because as it turned out Preston was pretty cool, and chill.

Which was why they were hanging out in the common room watching whatever was on E! and snarking.

Totally normal scene here, folks.

"Okay so important question," Alexis began, "am I about to be eaten? Because I had other plans today."

Gemis's mouth hung open in his impression of a laugh.

Lana grinned. "He won't eat you, don't worry. Nor will I, come to that. Tea?" she offered, picking one.

"I've got coffee, thanks," Alexis said.

"I'll have some," Preston said. Who knew how he was going to drink it.

Lana looked at Preston curiously. "Oh, you're lovely. An Earth bird, yes?" She got down a mug for her and bowls for Gemis and Preston.

And then, because what else could she really say, "Do you take milk, sugar, or lemon?"

[lovethatjourney]

"The best of the Earth birds," Preston agreed. "Lemon. And just a smidge of sugar."

And then, just in case he'd been unclear, he repeated, "A smidge. Thank you."

[unusual_sith]

"Only a smidge," Lana promised. She poured a bit of milk and sugar into her mug and one of the bowls, then found a lemon slice for the other and sprinkled what she hoped was a tiny smidge into it; easier to add than take away. "Like that?"

[lovethatjourney]

"So close. Just a touch more," said Preston.

Preston was a little bitch.

[unusual_sith]

Lana was getting that impression, yes. So she hid her smile and tapped just a few more grains into the bowl. "What about that?"

She could do this for a very long time if she had to.

[lovethatjourney]

"Oh no, that's just a bit too much," Preston said.

[unusual_sith]

Lana shrugged and, very carefully, lifted one grain of sugar from the bowl with the Force and put it back on the spoon. "How about that?" she asked innocently.
