Fourth floor common room: Tuesday afternoon

[vkandis_son]

Karal was mostly over his cold, and completely sick of his room. He knew it was Christmas today, not that he really knew what that involved, but there was one Karsite tradition he was quite sure would fit

Inara wandered in, dressed in warm, soft clothing and a pair of slippers--extremely casual for her. She beamed when she saw Karal. "It's good to see you up and around. Are you feeling better?"

[vkandis_son]

"Inara!" Karal beamed up at her and put his book down, while Altra purred a greeting. "I am, yes. I credit your tea and Andrew's chicken noodle soup for my quick recovery. Would you like some cider?"

[ambassadorinara]

"Chicken noodle soup?" She asked, then nodded, "Is that what I'm smelling? I would love some, thank you."

[vkandis_son]

He hopped up to pour her some. "Chicken noodle soup. It's a traditional soup of this world, that people give others when they're sick," he explained. "It's very good. Soothing." He smiled as he offered her the mug. "I think we might be the only two people left on the island, it's so quiet."

Ino wandered down one floor, and poked her head in the common room, "Oh, hello," she said, "is there anything entertaining going on down here?"

[vkandis_son]

"There's cider. I'm not sure if it counts as entertaining," Karal replied with a smile. "But I'd be happy to pour you a mug so you could see for yourself."

[flowering_mind]

"There's also converstation," she had to point out, "which is a nice surprise, since it's so quiet." Ino grinned, "Sure, I'd love try some."

[vkandis_son]

"True," he laughed, and went to pour a mug, which he offered her. "I admit, I enjoy the quiet, but not quite this much of it!"

[scary_jeff]

Jeff had escaped work with some level of efficiency.

Hence, he felt, he was allowed some relaxing time.

The fact that he'd reached entirely the wrong floor didn't seem to bother him in the least. He leapt onto the closest available comfortable surface. "My mother's not coming," he announced to the room.

[vkandis_son]

"Which I think calls for a celebration!" Karal knew enough about Jeff to know that no mother was a very good thing. "Would you like some cider?"

[scary_jeff]

Having just flopped quite thoroughly down on the couch, it took some effort for Jeff to sit up. "Alcoholic?"

[vkandis_son]

"Slightly. The heating takes much of the strength out of it." He grinned. "It's very good, and you could have several mugs, if you wanted."

Jaina wasn't keen on spending much time by herself this week, so she was very glad to see that there were people in the upstairs common room.

Also she'd forgone the everpresent cap due to randomly having hair again, though it had been pulled back into a short ponytail. Ah, Fandom.

"Hi," she greeted the room at large, plopping into a chair.

[ambassadorinara]

"Hi." Inara waved, then blinked at Jaina's hair. "What happened?"

[solo_sword]

"There was some hoppy animal thing, and then it just started growing. I have no idea," she explained, running a hand over the top of her head like she still wasn't used to it.

[ambassadorinara]

"It looks nice," she offered, trying to be helpful. "Are you pleased?"

[inthereflexes]

Jack's super sniffer picked up the smell of cider, and he decided to investigate. His super sniffer was backed up by Hungry Stomach. They made a good team.

He nodded hello as he entered the common room.

[flowering_mind]

"Hi," Ino called to him, "are you bored too?"

[inthereflexes]

"Kinda. There's no one here, nothing to do. So...decided to wander," he said with a smile. "I found people!"

[flowering_mind]

"Exactly what I did! And people are infinitely more interesting than just staring at your walls or something."
