Room 419, Thursday Afternoon

[nevertobequeen]

Morgana had spent the better part of the day in the library, attempting to help with the research, but nothing had come of her efforts but a headache from too much reading. Having retreated back to her room, Morgana was standing at the window, looking out at the fog. She wasn't sure what was out there, but she was trying not to worry herself sick

He'd almost made it up to his room. Almost and then he'd heard voices up ahead (which was half of a miracle as the stupid droid was still crying. It was reflex, a dumb one to go to the first door he know and knock as loud as he could to get over the stupid wailing.

"Morgana?" Oh god, what if it was Rose there? Too late now. " It's me! Can you let me in? Please?" Before anyone else got a look of his ass naked ass.

[nevertobequeen]

Morgana was pulled out of her reverie by the sound of Jacob's voice, and flew to the door to open it.

Then she stared. Then there was fierce blushing, and covering her eyes and trying not to stare more. "Jacob! What are you doing?!"

[need_no_moon]

"Seeking refuge," he didn't wait for the invitation, but quickly dashed inside, trying to keep Sedna in position as he backed up towards the wall. "I um... lost my clothes and there's people on the stairs and... I am so sorry. I can just climb out of your window and get up to mine."

If she'd understood anything of that as Sedna was still wailing and Jacob was jumbling his words.

[nevertobequeen]

Morgana recognized the droid baby from Ethics class, and her first thought was to offer to take it and try to get it to stop crying, but then there would be nothing covering Jacob, and oh, there was the blushing again. "You cannot climb out of my window with no clothes on!" she said. "How did you lose them?"

[need_no_moon]

"Turned," he said, looking around her room for something better to cover... stuff. "There was this big thingie and I kind of got in a fight with it."

[nevertobequeen]

"This big thingie?" she asked incredulously. Going over to her bed, Morgana grabbed her bedspread and held it out in Jacob's general direction. "Tell me you're all right?" God knew she couldn't check.

[need_no_moon]

Well, it wasn't like he was going to stop her from checking.

"I'm fine," he mumbled, eagerly taking the spread from her and then he tried to do the whole super fast switching the droid for the sheet thing. It worked marginally well, except that holding the droid by its arm wasn't going to work. "Yeah, I don't know. Big and dinosaur like."

[nevertobequeen]

"Here, let me take your baby," Morgana offered, now that he was more covered. "That sounds like something others have seen. What were you doing outside in the first place?"

[need_no_moon]

"Checking out what others had seen," he said and he was only too happy to hand her the baby. His head was throbbing by now, having had to carry the thing in his mouth. It was like the wailing had gone right to his brain.

He plopped down on her bed as soon as she had Sedna, tiredness catching up with him. He'd had a lot of healing to do. "If someone's going to fight the monsters..." Might as well be the good monster.

[nevertobequeen]

"It might as well be someone powerful and strong," Morgana finished for him, because she'd never describe him as a monster. "Are they strong? The creatures, I mean? Perhaps you shouldn't go back out any time soon." Not that she was worried, even as she hugged the crying droid baby. "At least not until you've found proper clothes again."

[need_no_moon]

Jake grinned at her. "Why? So I can tear up another pair?" he asked, he shook his head. "This thing is huge and it's strong, which is exactly why I should go back." Healing fast was a nice perk.

[nevertobequeen]

"Aren't there other people fighting? Can't they take these things down?" Morgana asked. Other people who weren't Jacob, of course. "And how do you expect to go back out and fight without clothes on?"

[need_no_moon]

"I'll get a pair of pants and tie them to my leg before I morph," he said, which was how he usually did it when he didn't have to change on the spot. "Why would I let other people take care of things when I can help?"

[nevertobequeen]

"Because you'll be safe?" Morgana said, before sighing. "I know that protecting people is more important though. I simply do not wish to see you harmed, no matter how temporary the injury might be."

[need_no_moon]

He gave her a lopsided grin and held up his arms so she could see for herself. "I'm fine," he said as if he never had gotten scratched up. "Just got a headache, but that's from that thing."

[nevertobequeen]

"I can't believe you went out there with her," Morgana said, laughing now that it had quieted down. "Would you like me to watch her while you go out again? Then you wouldn't have anything to worry about but yourself."
