Third Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[longislandiceme]

So Kate had taken off again, after sulking around their room for a bit. Bobby didn't know what was going on with her, and he hadn't been particularly inclined to ask, as wrapped up as he was in his own issues

"Well, this certainly looks like an interesting film."

Alexander, having found himself already packed as a symptom of always being an efficient worker due to a lifetime of penalty of death if he wasn't, had more evening than he expected on the day before he left for Daventry, and had come to spend some of that evening in the common room.

Clearly, his exposure to the silver screen through Maladicta's suggestions made him an expert in noticing...certain kinds.

"Interesting's a word for it, yeah," Bobby had to admit. "Jury's still out on whether it's the good interesting or the what the hell did I just watch interesting."

"Depending on your mood," Alexander offered, finding himself a soda from the fridge and a seat in a chair, "they can both be the good kind of interesting. My main question is going to be whether this is something to make me regret that this is the last thing I watch before returning for a while to a world with no televisions for a short spell."

"Going home for the holiday?" Bobby asked, trying his best not to resent that Alexander had that option.

"Hey grumpypants, what's with the mood?" Benefit -- or detractor -- of having a mental link with one's significant other was that Sookie kind of knew how Bobby was.

So once she'd finished replying to emails, assuring Karla that she could drag Warren there by force if needed, and begging Terry Bellefleur to finish the house repairs before Wednesday, she scurried down to the third floor and flung herself onto the couch beside him.

"What mood?" And it was times like this that lessons in telepathic shielding came in really handy, because there he was, snapping those shields up as strongly as he could manage.

"You can totally lie to the girl who's mentally bonded to you, if you want and it'll make you feel better, sure," she said, leaning over to press a kiss to his cheek. "Winter blues? Didn't think they'd affect you, somehow."

"I am fine," Bobby continued to insist. At least he didn't go so far as to duck away from that kiss.
