Office Hours, Tuesday

[on_her_korhal]

The problem with seguing into class after a mildly worldview-upsetting adventure back home was that after two weeks, Kerrigan still didn't actually have a decent syllabus set up.

So she was in her office, making ridiculous amounts of coffee as she tried to figure things out.

[ open hours! ]

Since he wasn't in her class and he would just miss her bunches, Lee decided to just stop by the Lieutenant's office when he could.

Which is what he was doing right now by leaning in the door way and grinning. "Morning!"

"Adama," Kerrigan groaned, hunched over her coffee. "To what do I owe the pleasure? And how do I undo it?"

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"I'm not allowed to visit?" Lee asked, stepping inside. "Just to visit? No reason, just visiting. Are you awake?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Kerrigan snapped, "I'm awake, no," she growled, "You never just visit."

"Someone's touchy today," Lee observed with a frown. "Get up on the wrong side of the bed?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"I'm fine," she said, chugging back coffee. Ow. Hot. Not going to show it. "I have a syllabus to write."

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, what kind of fun stuff are you crazy kids gonna get into this semester?" Lee asked, peeking over at her desk.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Nothing that's any of your concern, Adama," she told him, pulling her papers back towards her. "Seeing as you're not in the class."

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"A ha," Lee said, smirking a little. "Must be something good. Are you upset I'm not in the class?"

He figured no but it was fun to tease.

"I'm sure I can find a replacement pain in the ass in no time flat," she snorted, leaning back.

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Aw, but no one can replace me," he said, smiling smugly now. "You know that. I'm one of a kind. A special kind of pain in the ass."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Shut up." She glared at him. For old time's sake. "You're just one in a long line of jackasses, kid."

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"You're way with words makes me swoon," Lee said dryly, rolling his eyes. "Admit it, you'll miss me. A little."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Kerrigan said, rolling her eyes in counterpoint, "I'm going to miss the guy who left his daddy issues all over my classroom and tried to cover my office in glitter." She really was.

Just before lunch River stopped by. She had the excuse of being the TA, but really, it was just the company and the free coffee. She wandered into the room, smiling.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"River." Kerrigan glanced up from her half-written syllabus, relieved, and smiled back.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

She crossed the room to where to coffe could be found. "Want another cup?" she asked, preparing one for herself.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Please."

She'd already had a couple of cups, but one more couldn't hurt, right? "Relieve my suffering."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River chuckled, and made a cup for Kerrigan, then placed in on her desk. "Suffering?" She took a seat next to the cup.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"I'm trying to work out my syllabus," Kerrigan said, wryly, pulling her cup towards her.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Dividing knowledge into nice compartments." River sipped her coffee, giving Kerrigan a cheerful look.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Pinning random words on the donkey, is more like it," Kerrigan snorted, sipping her own coffee and staring helplessly down at the paper.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Need assistance?" River still looked cheerful.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Depends on how much you know about tactics."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River shrugged and took another sip of her coffee.
