Room 406, Wednesday evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel tried not to think about the ongoing election, or, more importantly, Monday night's conversation with Jarod. Instead she focused on a successful first day as a library aide and Annie as she chased a balled up piece of paper around the room.

The door was open although a chair was blocking it to prevent a wee kitten from escaping.

"No but to a cat I bet they make fun toys to bat around," she pointed out. "Annie just hasn't figured out that you're much bigger then she is."

"Awww. Kitties are dumb," Greg said affectionately.

"Hey!" Isabel said indignantly. "I think she's pretty damn brave to try and take you on. Even if she is wee and tiny."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"This is true," Greg said, nodding. "But she is also wee and tiny and confused about how large I am."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"So she's more brave then bright," she laughed. "She's still cute and loveable. Just like someone else I know."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Yes, you're right, she's exactly like Aeryn."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'd dare you to tell her that, but you would." Isabel sighed, "And then she'd hurt you and I'd be sad."

"You don't think Aeryn would want to be compared to a ferocious kitty?" Greg looked sad.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I think she'd have a problem with any comparison to a kitty, ferocious or otherwise," she grinned. Tired of stalking, Annie pounced.

"Oh noes!" Greg made a big show of falling back away from Annie. "I have been attacked."

Isabel scooped Annie up and dropped a kiss on her head before depositing her in her basket. Turning, she held out her hand to Greg as she looked him over carefully. "Are you injured? Will you need stitches?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Possibly," Greg said solemnly. "At the very least, I think I need a kiss."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hmmm," she said slowly. "Am I going to wind up blue?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Would that be so bad?" Greg asked, trying to look cute.

"I might get some interesting looks in class tomorrow," she pointed out, but it didn't stop her from leaning a little closer.

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"It washes off," Greg promised, leaning in for a kiss.

"Well in that case," Isabel whispered, "Yay soap and water." Running her fingers into his hair she kissed him gently.

Greg purposely rubbed his nose against hers, trying to get as much paint on her as he could.

Mindful of the still open door, Isabel reluctantly pulled back. "My nose is blue isn't it?" she laughed.

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Only kind of," Greg said. "It's all adorable! You look frostbitten!"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"And I suppose you'd be willing to warm me up?" she asked.

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"It's my duty," Greg said solemnly.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"But then I'd wind up with more blue paint on me. And I'd look hypothermic," Isabel pointed out seriously.

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Which means I'd have to warm you up more," Greg replied.

I'm starting to like this plan," she said as she rubbed her nose and then shook her head at the paint that came off. "Except we need to do something about the open door. I really don't think I'd like the pirate selling video."
