Well, that was maybe twenty minutes of sleep. Aeryn's been dozing lightly enough to hear someone moving around. And when she sees it's John who appears to be leaving, she just sets her jaw and rolls onto her other side. Which hurts, but she's not happy at this second.

"Maybe not, but they can get into the room, and let's face it, a room full of sleeping drunk people is not going to be much of a fight," she snaps.

Okay, there are already inherent problems with this plan.

"So, what do you suggest I do? You can't go to classes with me. You can't always be around me. It's impossible."

"That isn't what I'm saying. At all. What I'm saying is don't sneak off as soon as I get to sleep so I can panic," she bites out. "This? This is like your dot going out."

John eyes her quietly. "How much have you slept since Friday?"

"Don't start. No one else has been in any position- or apparently had any idea anything was wrong- to be alert to anything happening."

"That's Aeryn code for no sleep at all," John says, frustration evident in voice. "Nice. Make yourself sick protecting me. That's really logical."

can_be_more February 5 2006, 19:55:54 UTC

"Notice how I'm not sick," she says. "Notice that I'm functioning just fine. If it was me, what would you be doing in my situation?"

"Yes, because it's been two and a half days since everything went down," John argues. "How much longer are you gonna be able to function? Look, I won't leave if you go back outside and try to sleep. I promise."

can_be_more February 5 2006, 20:01:33 UTC

"I don't care if you go out! I care about waking up and thinking something happened to you," she snaps. "I know how I function. Let me take care of that, all right?"

"Goddammit," John mutters and turns towards the door. Not to leave but he does kick the door once. "Stupid double standard."

can_be_more February 5 2006, 20:12:38 UTC

She stares at him. "You want to talk about a double standard? I understand why you worry about me. I may not really get why a few bruises matter in comparison after you were worried I might be dead, but I understand the basics. And yet you really do not seem to understand why any of this," she says, gesturing vaguely, "might worry me at all!"

He turns back to her and leans against the door. "So, tell me. What did Drusilla say to you that has you this worked up?"

can_be_more February 5 2006, 20:22:10 UTC

Aeryn groans in frustration because no one should be this dense. "John. Drusilla. Crazy Squid Lady. Threats against you. Knows you live with Angel. You think I'm watching the door because I think she's going to come by and say hello?"

whitedeathpod February 5 2006, 20:32:43 UTC

"No, I get why you're watching the door," John mutters. "But you need to sleep and don't snap at me. You do. I won't leave without telling you again if you'd just let yourself relax while in my room."

can_be_more February 5 2006, 20:34:34 UTC

"Everyone else relaxes. Angel and Callisto were both hurt. You're not taking the threat seriously. If you get why I'm watching the door, why do you need to ask what the threat was?"
