5th floor Common room, Monday after classes

River was happy and making popcorn went well with being happy. So popcorn were flying through the kitchen and River danced about, trying to catch as many as possible with her hands and mouth. Berthold was lying under his blanket, tentacles reaching out and trying to get to the ice cream carton without getting in the way of River. Her mood seemed to be contagious as the monster made cheerful squeals.

[Open! There's popcorn enough for everyone.]

"Professor Ares," Evie muttered, turning pink. "And Hamlet Dane. It was all the water, and..." She sighed. "Professor Ares wrestled the squid!"

"...did he win?" Dawn didn't know either Professor Ares or Hamlet that well.

Evie nodded vehemently. "It was most impressive. The fight, I mean! Sokka and I had fun cheering." And the blush just went up a notch. "How is Sam, by the way?"

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-03-12 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Dawn noticed the blush. "He's fine. But go back to the Sokka part."

[identity profile] bookyeve.livejournal.com 2007-03-12 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sokka? He's nice. He lives on my floor." Evie bounced a little. "He loaned me a pennant to cheer for the squid!"

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-03-12 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"You cheered for the squid?" Dawn asked, giggling. "And nice? Like, nice nice?"

[identity profile] bookyeve.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, it was impressive, fighting all those sharks." Evie rolled her eyes at herself and then smiled a little more. "Maybe? We danced at the Valentine's Day dance. He has a lot of energy."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Lots of energy is good," Dawn said from her lofty position of knowing almost as little as Evie.

[identity profile] bookyeve.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Evie smiled brightly, nodding. "And he's a warrior! Which is very impressive at his age, I think."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Really? What does he fight?" Dawn asked.

[identity profile] bookyeve.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Another tribe that his is at war with." Evie looked solemn. "Do you know Zuko? It turns out he's a prince of the opposite side, the Fire Nation. Sokka said he's someone to avoid."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
"I met him my first day here and haven't talked to him since," Dawn said. "He didn't really strike me as a people person."

[identity profile] bookyeve.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
"He's been in a couple of my classes, but I haven't really spoken to him. Sokka really dislikes him." Evie looked thoughtful, then smiled again. "So, yes. Nice. And he has a chinchilla! Momo Junior. It's terribly cute."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Dawn was grinning like a loon now, putting two and two together. "The chinchilla, or Sokka with the chinchilla?"

[identity profile] bookyeve.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Ummmm, both?" Evie blushed a little again. "Momo's rather adorable, but Sokka's very sweet with him." She deflated a little. "I think maybe he likes someone he knew back home but... she's not here, is she?"

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Do you know that for sure, or are you guessing?" Dawn asked.

[identity profile] bookyeve.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
"He said that the girl he looked like when he was a girl? Is a warrior too and she can make your arms stop working by touching you." Evie frowned. "But I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Wouldn't it be a bad thing?"

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
"I would think so." Of course, now Dawn wanted to learn that trick.

[identity profile] bookyeve.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Of course, he's just a friend. And funny." Evie might be turning pink again. "But anyway. We had a nice time this weekend. Although he's very worried about his sister Katara. I hope he can go looking for her now."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
"What's wrong with Katara?"

[identity profile] bookyeve.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
"She's missing. She'd been missing a few days on Friday, it has to be longer now." Evie sighed, and added, "At least it's stopped raining now, though."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Dawn chewed on her lip and played with the ends of her hair, worried. She hadn't known. "I hope she's alright."

[identity profile] bookyeve.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Me too. I've only met her once, but she seemed very nice." Evie sighed and took another bite of ice-cream-and-popcorn. "What did you do this weekend?"

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
"I researched in the library," Dawn said, pouting a little, "but I didn't figure out what the flood was about."

[identity profile] bookyeve.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Ohhh. That doesn't seem fair," Evie sympathized. "Research usually tells you so much! I suppose we should be grateful it's gone, but I rather think efforts should be rewarded."
