Room 406, Later in the evening.

[izzyalienqueen]

Despite waking up battered and sore, and then having to face an angry Jack. It had actually been a great day. But a pleasant evening outside, somehow resulted in her gaining a fox as a roommate when she realized on her way back in that Jack couldn't open the door to his room without opposable thumbs. Still shaking her head, she opened the door to her room and let him inside.

Jack trotted in to the room and promptly leapt onto her bed, curling into a ball with his tail over his nose. It had been a very long day and he was a tired fox.

Isabel pulled a t-shirt and boxers out of her drawer and started to go to the bathroom to get changed. She stopped suddenly, walked over and sat on the bed. "Jack, sweetie? I hate to do this when you look so comfy. But you need to sleep over on the other bed."

He opened his eyes and looked up at her sadly, ears falling to the sides, the very picture of dejection. //Why?//

Sometimes body language is easy to read, even on a fox. "Because I have a boyfriend," she said, blushing. "Officially even. And somehow, sleeping all cuddled up with another guy? Even if he is small, cute and furry? Just isn't going to work."

Jack sighed and dragged himself to his feet, jumped onto the floor and, tail dragging behind him, crossed the room to jump onto the other bed. The ball he curled into was even tighter, and he flattened his ears and clenched his eyes shut, pointedly not looking at her. There may even have been a barely audible whine.

Isabel tried not to laugh as she made her way into the bathroom. She never realized foxes could pout.

A few minutes later, in her PJs and ready for bed, she came out of the bathroom. "Good night Jack," she said as she stopped next to him and rubbed his head one last time. "Sleep well."

Climbing into her own bed, she held out her hand and turned off the lights.

Jack opened his eyes to stare up at her when she patted his head, then closed them again, sighing sadly, when she left him there.

As the lights went out he sighed again, louder.

"Good night Jack!" Isabel said, starting to feel just a little bad.

He sighed again, this time with just a hint of a whine, one very small fox, all alone in the dark.

Isabel rolled her eyes. "Come here you big dope."

Jack leapt off the bed and bounded across to her, curling up in the space behind her knees. He raised his head to look at her out of eyes that glowed slightly, ears tipped forward in question.

"That's good," Isabel smiled, reaching down to pat him. "Thank you." She yawned and put her head back down. "Good night Jack."

He snuggled against her, closed his eyes, and promptly fell asleep.
