Room 406, early Sunday afternoon

[izzyalienqueen]

Once Greg had left after some morning snuggles, Isabel showered and dressed for the day before pulling out the supplies for the small surprise she wanted to work on. It wasn't quite as flashy as skywriting, but the sentiment was there. Unfortunately she quickly realized she was going to need help. After leaving some messages, Isabel started to give herself a pedicure while she waited for the calvary to arrive.

"Hi," Dawn croaked, then tried a smile.

"Oh my god, Dawn. What happened?" she asked climbing to her feet. "Are you okay?"

"Too much spacevodka, not enough water, and I think I told Dean I was in love with him." She sat. "What's up, and how are you?"

"We can fix that," Isabel said, already heading towards the mini-fridge. "Here, have some water. And chocolate." She held out the bag and motioned for Dawn to take a seat on the end of the bed. "Now what exactly did you tell Dean?"

Re: Dawn comes in later

"Thank you," Dawn sat down where instructed, beginning to get curious about what she was doing there. She took a bite of the chocolate and closed her eyes in bliss. "That I loved him."

"But you still haven't told me what we're doing."

"And how did he react to that?" Isabel asked. "Since your not flailing, I guess it went well."

She held out her ankles for inspection. "Parker did that for me earlier. But I've been doing some more reading and there's one more design I want to do. It's a little too large to go on my ankle though."

"I think," she winced a bit, "that he said he did, too."

"Oooh, pretty," she said, as she bent over to investigate. "What do you want me to do, and where do you want it?"

"I have a henna kit. If you're up to it, I was thinking of having you put it right on my lower back, with maybe some swirls and fancy stuff around it." She looked at Dawn curiously. "You think he said? I take it it happened after the drinking had begun?"

Re: Dawn comes in later

"I could do that," Dawn smiled. Yay for quiet activities. "And yeah, way after it started."

Re: Dawn comes in later

"Great! Do you want to start now?" Isabel asked. "Or wait a bit until your head feels better? And yay liquid courage. We've danced about, but we haven't actually said the word yet."

Re: Dawn comes in later

"Sure!" Dawn looked around, "What do I do? I didn't drink to tell Dean...what I think I told him..but I sure did tell him once I was drunk."

Re: Dawn comes in later

"Why don't I lay down? That's probably easiest." She stretched out on the bed and looked over her shoulder. "What do you think?"

"As far as Dean, have you seen him yet today? Maybe wait and see how he reacts."

"Okay. Want to pull up your shirt?" Dawn reached for the brush, the picture, and the paint. "I think it'll look great. But what chemical is it?"

"Uh uh," she said as she mentally planned out the spacing for the design. "Too much headache and light."

Re: Dawn comes in later

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel pulled up her shirt, then settled her head on her hands. "It's a chemical called oxytoxin. It's called the cuddling chemical believe it or not. And," she said, reciting from what she'd memorized, "It promotes the need to be physically held, have close contact with the mate and makes both the sexes more caring. Yes, I know, it's silly."

"Awwwwwww," Dawn grinned as she unscrewed the paint. "That's sweet. And Greg's your mate now?"

Re: Dawn comes in later

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh my god. NO! Worlds of no!" she flailed. "That's just what the paper said. To me he's my boyfriend. That's it!"

Re: Dawn comes in later

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn giggled. "Sorry, Isabel. I couldn't resist teasing a little."

Re: Dawn comes in later

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Sorry, it's a sensitive subject. I've spent the last two years listening to the great tormented lovestory of Max and Liz," Isabel explained with a roll of her eyes and a note of disgust in her voice. "They're soulmates across the stars."

"What are you going to do when you do see Dean? Do you think you'll mention it?"

Re: Dawn comes in later

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Oh, ugh," Dawn rolled her eyes. "Buffy and Angel're like that. Spare me."

"I don't know...I mean," she shrugged, "do you think I should?" She started painting on the basic design, deciding she'd add decorations later.

Re: Dawn comes in later

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Exactly. What we have is nice, and sweet and simple." Isabel smiled, "It's probably the most uncomplicated thing I have in my life right now."

"Maybe?" she said, trying hard not to move. Her back was way more ticklish then her ankles. "You remember it, so there's a good chance he'll remember it to. If you don't say anything it'll be wierd."

Re: Dawn comes in later

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Yay for uncomplicated," Dawn cheered. "Which I had until yesterday."

"You could always came a case of alcohol induced exaggeration," she offered. "It wouldn't be the first time someone's mouth ran away with them when they were drunk."

Re: Dawn comes in later

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Except I'm not sure it was an exaggeration," Dawn said, frowning as she had to correct a line that had come in squiggly.

"Then you really have to wait and see what he says, I guess," Isabel said. "Let him take the lead. At least that way you'll know he remembers saying it." She peered over her shoulder at Dawn, "Did you hear how Greg told, or at least showed, me?"

Re: Dawn comes in later

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Uh uh," Dawn painted again. "What'd he do?"
