Third Floor Common Room, Monday Morning

[likesscoundrels]

Leia had somehow managed to not have any classes until Thursday, giving her a five day weekend, which was perfect to dealing with the Senate business and other news from home she had to work through. But she was taking a break at the moment to rummage for breakfast in the common room. Distractions, particularly if they were in the shape of cute

Alexander, unfortunately, could not escape the curse of plenty of extra classes in subjects he doubted would even be useful, but he was a firm believer in taking advantage of the luxury of a decent breakfast every morning, so he was finding his way to the common room.

"Oh, good morning," he said, when he'd spotted there was already someone there, seeming to be engaged in the activity he was just about to pursue. "Have you found anything particularly good in the cupboards yet?"

[likesscoundrels]

Leia pulled her head out of the fridge and wrinkled her nose. "About this much orange juice," she said, indicating about an inch with her thumb and forefinger, "yogurt that is way past its expiration date, half an banana, and something I can't identify."

[daventryprince]

The answer, though leaving the stomach wanting, at least satisfied one's amusement and Alexander grinned. "It appears as though whatever usually keeps these kitchettes stocked took a break over the holiday as well," he said. "How trustworthy do you suppose the unidentified item is?"

Leia pulled the plastic container out of the fridge and set it on the counter. The contents were green and fuzzy, which in her experience was a delicacy on some worlds, but it wasn't exactly making her own stomach eager to try.

"I think it moved," she said, eyeing the container suspiciously. "You may not want to open it unless you're armed. Just in case."

[daventryprince]

"Not only armed," Alexander agreed, his eyebrows lifting in surprise since he certainly hadn't expected anything that green or fuzzy, and he felt, somehow, like he should have, "but possibly equipped with a mask as well. Incredible how quickly cafeteria food is becoming more appetizing at the moment."

[likesscoundrels]

"I haven't checked all the cupboards yet," Leia grinned. "Just the fridge so far. There could be something salvageable we could find before we're forced to go to the cafeteria."

[daventryprince]

"Then I believe I will check there," Alexander noted with a chuckle, heading over to where the cereal usually was, "if, that is, you will not take offense to my refusal of your findings, of course."

[likesscoundrels]

"I don't blame you one bit," Leia said, laughing and shaking her head. "But if you find something edible I hope you share, or I may have to challenge you for it."

[daventryprince]

"I wouldn't dream of keeping it all to myself," Alexander assured her with a grin, "but it does beg the question as to whether or not you'd find cereal without milk a suitable breakfast."

[likesscoundrels]

"Nothing's stopping us from making a raid on another floor to take their milk," Leia smirked. "But I'm starving, so anything's good at this point."

[daventryprince]

"Oh, I didn't even think to get the milk from another floor," Alexander admitted with an approving chuckle. "That's quite smart, especially considering we could easily go either up or down. We could perhaps leave a note. I.O.U. some milk, much love, the Third Floor."

[likesscoundrels]

"Though if their food is as meager as our own, we may have to defend what little we have from their ravaging hoards," Leia said with a little laugh. "We'll have to build a fort with the couches."

"I've heard of food fights before," noted Alexander with a smirk, "but I've yet to go into an all-out food war."
