Room 211, Monday night

[lovemykilt]

Priestly was stretched out on his bed with his head hanging off the side, his socked feet up against the wall, as Ramone ran up and down his pant leg. He was considering going to see what was up in a common room, or even grabbing a book and getting some reading in. But both of those prospects involved getting up, and he just didn't feel like it just yet.

Ramone got to his right foot and took a flying leap off to land on Priestly's face.

Okay, so maybe he might feel a little bit like getting up.

Dinah had had a fairly good day, but wasn't in the mood to go talk to a ton of people tonight. Maybe because home was looming.

She leaned to say hi, and ended up giggling. "Ramone! No face-eating!"

[lovemykilt]

Ramone looked up and chittered. Priestly gently picked him up off his nose.

"Heya, Dinah. What's up?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Not much. Well, some much. Sorta." She sat down on the floor, and reached over to tickle Ramone's whiskers. "I'm going home tomorrow night for a couple days, to see my family. I should be back Thursday. I hope."

[lovemykilt]

Priestly set Ramone down on the bed and swung around to sit up. "Yeah? Everything okay?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Mostly, yeah." Dinah stared at him a minute, then admitted, "I think Barbara wants to give me some bad news in person. And I'm going to tell her the truth about this place, and try to talk her into letting me stay. I think it'll work, it's just kinda dicey."

[lovemykilt]

"Dude, you are so not allowed to leave forever! Who else is gonna help me with the Edward-wrangling?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"I know!" Dinah threw her hands in the air. "You'd never get him used to human society without someone else as back-up! Tony said they'd come get me if Barbara got stubborn. You could ride on the back of the motorcycle?" She frowned. "Can you drive a motorcycle?"

Dinah might have been thinking about this too much.

[lovemykilt]

"Sure." No, no he couldn't. "And hell yeah, I'll come help get you. I'll kick ass." Or more likely, get his own ass kicked.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Yay," Dinah said, sounding a little glum. "I hope you guys won't have to, though. I'll come by as soon as I'm back." She petted Ramone a little, then said, "So. Edward bailed on Adora on Saturday night, and she's all confused. You want that one, or should I take it?"

They should so be getting extra credit from Mr. Rogers for raising a prince.

[lovemykilt]

"Wait, he what?" Priestly shook his head and scooped Ramone off the back of his neck. The squirrel was pretty hyper, this evening. "Dude, the hell? That's so not cool."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. I saw them both at the 3-Minute Dates on Saturday night, but I guess he wasn't there when it came time for their own." Dinah made a face. "Adora's gonna find him at work tomorrow. Maybe he just wandered off after a troll."

[lovemykilt]

"Huh." Priestly had avoided the three minute dates like the plague since his mun was working that night. "Man, I hope that all works out. I'd hate to have gotten Adora to call him only for him to flake out on her."

"Can I tell you something, and not have you think I'm a freak?" Dinah asked, fiddling with her shoelace.

Claudia, dressed casually in something that had once been an old sheet before she'd turned it into a muumuu dress, flitted down toward Priestly's room.

"Hello?"

[lovemykilt]

"Claudia!" Priestly considered sitting up from his sprawl. But Ramone was now happily eating sunflower seeds on his chest, and it seemed rude to disturb him. "Come in!"

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

Claudia came in. "Aww, hi, Ramone!" she said, looking for a place to settle down. "I always knew sunflower seeds were good for something."

[lovemykilt]

"They're pretty good for eating," Priestly said. "There's chocolate-covered ones, too."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate makes everything better," Claudia declared. "Even squirrel food."

[lovemykilt]

Priestly laughed. "You don't like any healthy food?"

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Pretzels are healthy," Claudia said. "Oooh, and wasabi peas!"

[lovemykilt]

"Okay, point. What about baked chips?"

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Can they be barbecue flavor?" she asked.

[lovemykilt]

Yeah, Priestly figured that answered that question.

"So. Whatcha been up to?"

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"I've been painting a still life of the flowers I got on Saturday," she said happily. "Thank you, by the way. It was lovely."

[lovemykilt]

Priestly looked down with a slight blush. "Hey, I try. I, uh, hope the one was okay? I always thought a single rose was more, you know, elegant or something."
