Fourth Floor Common Room [evening]

[notqueenyet]

It had been entirely too long since Aravis had truly appreciated her insomnia.

Which was why Tuesday evening found her curled up on the couch with a truly spectacular and moddable array of candy before her, and her dog lounging at her feet. Aravis hadn't settled on anything to watch, so she just plaintively flipped through channels, appreciating a

Harvey's own floor had run out of his favorite kind of cereal and he had a craving so he was willing to check every floor to see if they had it.

"Hi," Harvey said with a smile when he saw the room was occupied. He headed to the kitchen and started to dig around the pantry.

Aravis glanced up, tilting her head to look at the boy and smiling slightly. "Hello. Looking for something in particular?"

[yourwhiteknight]

"Uh, yeah," Harvey said, his head still in the pantry. He came out a second later holding a box of Life. "Found it, actually."

[notqueenyet]

"Isn't that for breakfast?" she asked curiously, recognizing the size and shape of the box.

Ben wasn't exactly tired, so after tossing around for a while, he wandered down to the common room for a snack.

"Oh, I didn't know anyone was awake!" he stammered, wishing he'd brushed his hair before leaving his room.

"I'm sorry," Aravis said, looking at him apologetically. "Did you need the room?"

[momslilassassin]

"Not at all!" Ben babbled. "I just would've put on socks or something."

He wandered over to the stove and stared at it for a long moment. "Would you like some hot chocolate?" he asked. "I think I can make that."

"You needn't, if it's any trouble," she told him, as Ata hopped up and skittered over to investigate Ben.

Wearing pajamas and bringing popcorn with him, Teddy was looking forward to some horrible Scifi Channel original movies tonight.

Imagine his surprise when there was someone else in the room. And he was in his pajamas. That had Spider-Man on the shirt.

Crap. "Hello."

[notqueenyet]

"Evening," Aravis said, smiling at his appearance.

Not that she had any room to be laughing or anything, given that she was in her nightgown and dressing gown. But they didn't have Spider-Man on the front.

[notthehulk]

They would've if she'd been from his world, Teddy was sure.

Or something.

"Popcorn?" Teddy offered, trying to figure out a way to distract from the pajamas.

[notqueenyet]

"Certainly. Candy?" she offered, holding out some Red Vines.

Bored out of her skull, Wendy wanted out of her room. "Evening," she said as she came into the common room.

[notqueenyet]

"Good evening," Aravis said, smiling slightly. "Candy?"

[notahostage]

"Thanks," Wendy said, returning the smile. "What are we watching?"

[notqueenyet]

"Something called Mansquito, now," Aravis told her, gesturing to the screen. "Apparently he is half man, half mosquito, if the name didn't help you there."
