Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel had spent the day hiking through the preserve, using the time and the quiet to try and process the events of the last few months. A week with friends had helped and she was finally starting believe that being back wasn't just another elaborate dream.

After returning, Isabel settled down for a quick check of her email before starting her homework. Frowning at Sam's message, she thought for a long moment before typing a response and then leaving a voicemail. Still distracted, she put the laptop aside and tried to focus on her homework.

The door was open.

"You missed Jamie doing synchronized swimming in the park. Swan Lake with explosions like you've never seen it before."

"Somehow, that just doesn't surprise me," she laughed.

"So you want to be green for St. Patrick's Day?"

"Not entirely green, just the hair. That bright fluro green from last time if you can!" He bounced. Dweeb.

"I can do that," Isabel grinned, getting to her feet and reaching for his hair. "And I promise to leave your clothes alone this time."

Kawalsky snorted. "Yeah, I'd appreciate that. Don't want to get arrested for public indecency."

"No, that would be bad. Although Aeryn might like the company. I am sorry about that by the way. I should have stayed out of it." As she spoke she ran her fingers through his hair, turning it a perfectly approrpriate St. Patrick's day green.

Kawalsky tried to look up at it, catching a glimpse of the green. "Thanks, Iz."

"Never a problem," Isabel smiled. "Now go have fun."

"You bet. You wanna come? There's gonna be booze. Green, if I can get it."

"Thank's but I'll pass. I can't drink. It's a weird alien thing," she explained. "And I don't think I'm up to dealing with a crowd yet."

Kawalsky nodded. "Well, have a good night. There's probably still some green food in the common room down on second."

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Have fun."
