Room 406, morning

[izzyalienqueen]

After staying up late for charades the night before, Isabel had slept in late, planning on spending a lazy day doing homework and some reading. She was not going to think about where she was going tomorrow night. Nor was she going to watch the clock and worry about friends that were off planet at the moment.

Company would help with that, so Isabel made a quick trip to town and then a stop down the hall. Anyone wandering by would find Isabel and Cedric sharing bagels and coffee while watching Annie stalk about the room.

[ooc: Locked to chasingsnitches please.]

"Don't tell anyone that I'm drinking coffee," he said with a small smile.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh come on," she teased. "It's yummy! Plus it's a mocha so it's certainly sweet enough!"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"It's not bad," he replied. "Just don't tell anyone I said that."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Never," Isabel promised. "It'll be our little secret. I'll never tell. Even under threat of tickle torture."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Someone's threatened to torture you by tickling?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You don't have brothers and sisters do you?" she asked. "Or if you do you were all very dignified and English and never tried to wrestle each other to the ground and tickle someone til they couldn't breath."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"No, no siblings," he said. "And I was never the victim of tickle torture. It sounds like fun, though."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm actually on okay terms with Max at the moment, otherwise I'd say lucky you." Isabel grinned, "As for trying it out? Ask Jack. I'm sure he'd love to roll around the floor with you."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I'm sure he would but I'm sure it would end up in something else besides a tickle fight," he said with a smirk.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but I have no desire to have radio report we were rolling around on the floor together because you just know they'll make it sound dirty," she laughed.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"The radio could make eating muffins in snowsuits sound dirty," Cedric decided.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You do have a point," Isabel nodded. "I was worried about that with Charades last night. Cause it did get interesting at points."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Cedric sipped his coffee. "Tell me."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"There was lots of flailing that was very open to interpretation," she explained. "And then poor Neil, god I thought he was going to die from embarrassment."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"What did Neil do that made him so embarrassed?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Poor Neil had to act out a dildo cosy. Don't ask me why that was in the game," Isabel said quickly. "Spillover from the Home Ec class I guess."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"A..." He didn't even want to say the world. "Well, then."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, exactly," she nodded, blushing a bit. "And Neil's form like fifty years in the past. So you can just imagine how he felt."

"But enough about kinky charades. How are you doing? Honestly?"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"I'm worried," he said. "I think I've gotten used to that feeling."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I know that feeling well," Isabel said. "But look at it this way, he'll be home soon and then you can ask him about tickle torture."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"True," he said with a small nod. "And then I'll tie him up to prevent him from leaving again until May."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I don't know, I'm still leaning towards keeping him after May myself," she admitted with a sad smile.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Do you think we could do that?" He wasn't really serious.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I wish," Isabel sighed. "It's going to be weird with him gone."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"It is." Cedric rubbed his temple. "Very weird."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel nudged his leg with her foot. "I know it's not the same but I'll still be around."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"I know," Cedric said. "I'm very happy about that."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"We'll have fun. More boogie boarding definitely. Hell, I'll bring you home to Roswell for a visit if you want," she grinned. "My mom would love you."

And that was when the phone rang.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"That sounds great," Cedric said, pausing when the phone rang.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Excuse me," she said, holding out her hand for the phone to fly into it. "Mom usually calls around now." Isabel flipped the phone open and stared at the caller I.D. "It's Parker."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

Cedric quieted and watched intently.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel kept the conversation short, glancing at Cedric and biting her lip.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

And that made Cedric stand up.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She was climbing to her feet as she snapped the phone shut. "Jack's hurt, he's at the clinic. It's not life-threatening," she added.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

Cedric winced and said, "Of course. Magnet for trouble."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Grabbing her jacket, Isabel started for the door. "I say we let him heal for a few days then beat him."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"I think I very much agree with that plan of action," Cedric said, following her out of the room.
