Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Since her return from Roswell Isabel had kept herself busy, visiting friends, working, and hanging out at assemblies. But tonight she felt like staying in and relaxing, which was why she was curled up on her bed with a book as Annie batted a toy around the room.

The door was open.

Comments

Wyatt was bored and wandering the halls. It was purely a coincidence that he ended up on the fourth floor, really. He poked his head in Isabel's door. "Hey, gorgeous," he said. "What's up?"

Wyatt was way too good for her ego. "The sky. The clouds. Birds in the air," Isabel teased, setting aside her book. "What's up with you?"

[blessed_twice]

"Stars and the moon, last I checked," Wyatt grinned, leaning against the doorframe. "But no dragons at the moment."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"And this is a bad thing?" she asked. "Weren't the dinosaurs enough?"

[blessed_twice]

"I'm more worried about the dragons," Wyatt said. "They'd try to pick you to be a damsel in distress to kidnap and imprison in their lair, but they'd end up getting their asses kicked instead."

"You are very, very wise," Isabel nodded. "I think that's true of most of the women in Fandom. So what are your plans for the evening? Just wandering the halls in search of dragons to protect?"

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt nodded. "Searching for dragons to protect, food to steal, backrubs to offer. . . ."

Isabel rolled her eyes and got to her feet. "No dragons. But I can offer chocolate and a movie or two." And if he felt like earning his keep with a back rub at some point in the evening, well that would be nice. "Come in and get comfy if you want to hang out."

[blessed_twice]

"Sure," Wyatt said, stepping into the room. He dropped his backpack on the floor, then paused and eyed Isabel warily. "You don't mean a chick flick, do you?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You don't like chick flicks?" she asked in mock horror. "They're some of the greatest movies ever made! Think about it, Gorgeous Lady, Coastline, Pretty Woman & Beaches are classics." Of course even as Isabel said this, she was pulling out her DVDs of the extended versions of the King of the Bracelets trilogy.

[blessed_twice]

"Well, the first one has whatshername in tight skimpy outfits, right?" Wyatt mused. "I could be persuaded to watch that." Yes, he was just begging to be thwapped.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yes, it has whatshername in tight skimpy oufits," Isabel said dryly. Yes, that would be a pillow flying towards Wyatts head. "Why am I not surprised that you remember that?"

She set the DVD up, grabbed her stash of chocolate from the drawer, and took a seat on the bed, leaving room for Wyatt to join her. "Chocolate?"

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt ducked but the pillow still bounced off his shoulder. He grinned, then settled on the bed next to Isabel, totally appreciating the view, of course. Just because she was interested in another guy didn't mean he couldn't look.

"Thanks," he said, taking a piece of chocolate, unwrapping it, and popping it in his mouth.

"Happy to share," she told him as the opening credits of the first movie started. "Oh gee, it's not a chick flick. Are you sure you'll survive?"

Isabel grabbed one of the pillows and handed it to Wyatt, the set the other behind her back. "I've got the whole trilogy. This could be a long night if you're up to it."

[blessed_twice]

"Oh, yeah, I can definitely go all night," Wyatt said. Completely innocently, of course. He put the pillow behind him and settled back. "I love these movies. Extended edition, right?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Dirty?" Isabel asked, raising an eyebrow. "Of course they're the extended versions. They're the only versions as far as I'm concerned."

[blessed_twice]

"You are the perfect woman," Wyatt sighed. "Unless you're just watching it for Viggo or Orlando."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Viggo of course," she grinned. "Orlando's just too pretty. My favorite scene is the one in the second movie? When Viggo's been given up for dead? And then he pushes open the doors and just struts across the room?" Isabel sighed happily.

[blessed_twice]

"That's a great scene," Wyatt agreed. "If I ever come back from the dead, I want to make an entrance like that. But I like the battle scenes better."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I like them. I mean they're epic and dramatic and have funny bits and all, but they're not as much fun when you've really fought for your life," she admitted. "Still, Eowyn kicks ass."

[blessed_twice]

"She does," Wyatt said. "Arwen is good with the magic, but give me a girl who knows how to handle a sword."

Pause.

"Not dirty."

Isabel choked on the piece of chocolate she'd just bitten into then snickered. "Sure..."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt bumped his shoulder against Isabel's. "That was perfectly innocent!" he insisted.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That's what she said," she replied, bumping back and rolling her eyes. "Now shush. Viggo's going to make his first appearance soon."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt rolled his eyes right back at her and managed to hold back any snarky comments. For awhile, at least. He had to make a few comments as they watched the first movie and started the second.

But it grew late and the movies were long, and both of them eventually drifted off, leaning against each other as they slept.
