Room 406, Thursday evening

[izzyalienqueen]

In theory, Thursday was supposed to be her busy day, with a whole two classes. War Theory had been interesting. Ethics had been troubling. Not only were the topics disturbing, it was difficult to look to look at a friend's killer.

After spending some time with Alanna, Isabel returned to her room, booted up the laptop and tried to not think while playing multiple rounds of solitare.

The door was open.

Jack stood, then leaned down to touch her cheek, smiling faintly. "If you use real cards, you can cheat. It makes it go much faster."

Isabel caught his hand and squeezed. "But where's the challenge in that?"

"Good point." He lifted her hand and kissed it again, eyes glinting wickedly. "But I prefer to save my efforts for more personal challenges."

"You're terrible," she laughed. "Go! Go and spread cheer to those who need it."

"I'm gone. See you, Izzy," he called back over his shoulder as he headed out the door and down the hall to Jaye's room (http://fates-jaye.livejournal.com/38872.html#comments).
