Room 419 - Wednesday Late Morning - Afternoon

[guardianborn]

Rose scowled at the pile of clothes still on her bed. They were cute things - tops and skirts and tighter jeans that had been fun to wear around Fandom but didn't have a place back in Montana. Nearly everything she'd packed had been completely utilitarian. The stuff that she could wear for training for years in the cold or wet and not wear out

"Already?" Kyle wasn't much for greetings today.

[guardianborn]

"I've been asking myself that all day," Rose said. "Hey Kyle."

[weetinyreese]

"Hey Rose," he said, inviting himself in. "I guess now I'll have to look after Mr. Bond on my own."

[guardianborn]

"It's a big job," she agreed teasingly. "But I bet you can manage it."

Edmund was on his way to his own room when he saw the door open. "Today seems to be a day for departures."

[guardianborn]

"Who else is heading out?" Rose asked, giving him a wave in. "Beka and Griff left yesterday, I know."

[once_a_traitor]

"Jo's off this afternoon," he replied, walking in and looking around. "She's taking the long way home by road trip, but she's starting out today. You have a lot of clothes."

[guardianborn]

"Those are the clothes that are staying here," she explained. "Can't use 'em at home. That blows Jo's leaving already. I don't know when the summer ended, but no one asked my opinion on it."

Elle did not want Rose to leave. Not at all. She was still trying to figure out how to hide her in a closet somewhere.

She whimpered at the sign on the door, giving a perfunctory knock before poking her head in. "Do you have to leave?"

[guardianborn]

"I've been trying to figure out a way to stay for the past month or so," Rose said, wrinkling her nose. "Mr. Bond offered to fail me but..."

[tasenburn]

"And you didn't let him?" Elle asked with a faint whine.

[guardianborn]

"Nah, I have to go home and do my job finally," Rose said. "My friend needs me to keep her safe."

[icecoldfrost]

"I disapprove." Emma was doing a lot of that this week.

She frowned at the pile of clothes as she came in and started picking disdainfully at the top layer. "You packed nothing but flannel and sweatpants, didn't you?"

[guardianborn]

"Hey, I packed jeans too," Rose protested, frowning at Emma.

[icecoldfrost]

"Jeans are not clothing," Emma objected. "I see far too many pretty things in this pile. You can't be ridiculously practical all the time."

[guardianborn]

"Which is a problem when my job is to be ridiculously practical," she pointed out. "If you think they're pretty, you can totally have them..."

This was Jaina's first trip back to the dorms since she'd moved into town, and it was definitely weird. It was weirder to go a floor further up in order to say goodbye. It just added a little surreal element to it.

Upon seeing the note, she said, "I guess you figured out what to do with your stuff?"

[guardianborn]

"Hey, it's a dorm," Rose replied, giving Jaina a smile as she came in. "Everyone likes free stuff."

[solo_sword]

"I don't remember that being part of dorm life," she said with a tiny smile. Granted, her last dorm experience had been with the Killiks, and yeah, you didn't share free clothes with them. Because they didn't wear clothes.

[guardianborn]

"Yeah, but you Jedi people are all about no possessions, right?" she teased. "Probably different from the usual dorm situation."
