Room 406, later in the evening

[izzyalienqueen]

After a day that included an absolutely bizarre Campaigning class, some studying, and then a walk in the snow that ended with a snowball fight with Jarod in front of Caritas, Isabel was looking to get warm. Sipping a hot chocolate, dressed in a warm pair of flannel pants and a cozy fleece, Annie curled up on feet, she sat on her bed and read

After the - well, Peter didn't have a good word for it, so he was just going with "Parkerness" - Parkerness of the past few days, Peter needed an easy night. Preferably one where if he were to talk about the embarrassment of the past couple days, he would know that the person he shared it with wouldn't spread it.

So Peter knocked on the doorframe. "Hey, Isabel."

[izzyalienqueen]

"Hi!" Isbael grinned, putting aside her book. "How are you? All recovered from the weekend?"

[peter__parker]

"You remember the general glee and pride I was feeling Sunday night?" Peter asked.

[izzyalienqueen]

"Yes," she nodded, scooping up Annie and pulling up her feet so there was room for Peter to sit. "Well deserved glee and pride."

[peter__parker]

"Santa Claus ruined that," Peter said.

[izzyalienqueen]

"...."

[peter__parker]

"It wasn't actually Santa Claus. Just a guy dressed as him," Peter said. "He beat me up, kidnapped me, then Zero saved me while wearing an elf costume."

[izzyalienqueen]

"Considering we spent the weekend battling trolls, that doesn't shock me as much as it should have," Isabel said, shaking her head. "Are you okay? Or is Christmas permanently ruined for you?"

[peter__parker]

"I was considering Judaism for a while there," Peter said. "So if you missed me in Bio, now you know where I was."

"Oh, also? I hereby vow that if I ever have to fight a person with telekinesis, I'm getting help before I'm thrown into a tree."

[izzyalienqueen]

"It was a pretty mellow class. I was only half awake," she admitted. "Of course now I feel bad that I didn't miss you."

"Yes, it does help to call back up that can handle those particular powers. Otherwise you do wind up as a bit of a rag doll."

[peter__parker]

"DOn't worry," Peter said. "The important thing is that I was rescued. From Santa Claus."

He wasn't willing to forget that part just yet.

[izzyalienqueen]

"By your girlfriend. Dressed as an elf." Isabel couldn't help but grin at the picture that came to mind. "Go Zero."

[peter__parker]

"By the way, I don't look like an elf to you, do I?" Peter asked. "Because that's why Santa kidnapped me. He thought I was an elf."

[izzyalienqueen]

"Well I think it depends. What's an elf supposed to look like?" Isabel said, trying not to laugh.

[peter__parker]

"Short and elf-like. Wear a lot of green. Probably look like they're making toys a lot," Peter said with a shrug.

[izzyalienqueen]

"Probably not then. Unless they happen to catch you playing with your chem stuff," she pointed out. "Those could kind of count as toys can't they?"
