Trowa's visit to Quatre's home is about halfway through. It's been a good week. (And, thanks to spending several of Quatre's workdays hanging out at the local university, Trowa now has much more detailed mental notes on how to successfully pass as a college student. Yes, low-stakes infiltration practice is Trowa's idea of a vacation

Cass sees him enter the bar. Cass sees his little exchange. Cass oh so sneakily follows him to the gym.

He doesn't notice her, of course. She is being sneaky.

Like, on tip-toes and a manic grin and everything.

[3nanashi]

Gosh.

However could he possibly notice that?

Trowa oh-so-sneakily . . . detours to the men's room on the way!

Jeans and a turtleneck are not good workout wear. Time to change to the loose pants and tank top he got from Bar.

Cass darts her eyes both ways as he steps inside. Seeing that the coast is clear, she darts (silently) through behind him before the door can swing closed. She takes too long steps before dropping into a low slide that takes her under the vision line of the mirror and into one of the bathroom stalls.

Still unnoticed!

Because she's super-stealthy. And Trowa never pays attention to anything.

[3nanashi]

. . . Really, Cass?

Well. Valid if totally unnecessary practice for sneaking around, he supposes.

NOT THAT HE NOTICED HER, OR ANYTHING.

Trowa opts for an empty stall several doors down, thank you, and a quick change. (Backstage changes between acts make you really good at that.)

"Do you mind!" says Jamie indignantly, from his position being squashed against the wall by Buffy.

[who_s_there]

"Hello!" says Buffy, turning to beam at Cass without loosening her grip on Jamie. "This stall is currently in use, but there's an unoccupied stall to your left! This is a restroom."

[seewhatyoumean]

Cass' eyes widen and she holds her finger up in front of her lips in an urgent, yet silent (and stealthy!) shushing motion.

SHE IS SNEAKING, PEOPLE WHO ARE USING THIS STALL!

[walksthebounds]

"A men's restroom!" puts in Jamie, feeling it relevant.

Then he sees Cass' finger, and scowls at her. If she doesn't want people to make noise, she shouldn't jump in on them while they're in the loo, now, should she!

[3nanashi]

. . . Trowa idly wonders which personality of Buffy's is coming out this time. Possibly a new one, from that level of one-note manic cheer.

Though Milliways weirdness is also always possible.

[who_s_there]

"Yes!" Buffy agrees, with more enthusiasm than is really warranted. "A men's restroom! You shouldn't be here!"

This is directed to Jamie.

[walksthebounds]

"I think you've got things a bit confused!" protests Jamie, his voice cracking high with indignation on the middle word.

(These three centuries of puberty are sucking.)

[seewhatyoumean]

Cass, shockingly enough, is silent.

But there is a pretty clear question written across her face: what does that have to do with anything?

[3nanashi]

Trowa could follow his original plan of changing rapidly and heading for the gym.

Or he could take his time, so as to figure out what on earth they're talking about, and what's going on with Buffy (or her perky and confused auditory doppelganger) this time.

Three guesses which he's choosing?

[who_s_there]

Buffy gravely considers Jamie's suggestion. "I don't think I'm confused. I'm very sure of what I'm doing!"

She adjusts her grip on the plunger. "I'm going to stake you!"

[walksthebounds]

Offended: "That's not even a stake! It's not even sharp!"

"- also, I'm not a vampire!"

[seewhatyoumean]

Cass finds herself oddly distracted by the interplay between the two. She almost intervenes when Buffy raises the plunger in a threatening manner, but Jamie doesn't seem worried, so she leans back against the door of the stall to watch.

Of course she still has an ear out for Trowa. It would be a shame if he escaped while she was distracted by shenanigans in the bathroom stall.
