Office Hours, Tuesday

[on_her_korhal]

It was completely and utterly Roy's fault, and Kerrigan was going to firmly stick to that idea. Because really, the concept was absolutely ridiculous--

--but kind of fun.

She blew some air into one cheek before trying to storm the castle again. Damn Flash games.

"Does it have to?" River asked, leaning forward to rest her elbows on the table.

[lunch now!]

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"It would help," Kerrigan muttered, testiness in her voice, before pulling the cup towards her and taking a sip.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River chuckled down into her own cup. "Bought a new dress for dancing yesterday."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"You going to the ball thing, right?" She shot River something that probably would've been a smile. Somewhere.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"It's dancing," River replied. "The dress is blue. Will you be there?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Yep," Kerrigan said, and the smile finally folded into the wry smirk it had kind of wanted to be. "Can't escape it this time, I'm afraid."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

Her reply clearly pleased River, who beamed at her. "You can watch me dance," she said, not mentioning any attempts to persuade Kerrigan to join her.

"As long as I don't have to talk to anyone, I'll be good," Kerrigan returned, sipping her coffee with some amusement.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Dancing doesn't require talking with words," River replied teasingly.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Kerrigan held up a finger. "Any. Talking," she said.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

Another giggle into her coffee cup caused River to spill coffee over her dress.

The instant it happened, Kerrigan's hand was in one of the drawers of her desk, fast, and she pulled out a box of tissues, eyeing River with concerned eyes. "Careful."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"No danger." River wiped the front of her dress that now needed cleaning. She put the cup on the desk and looked up at Kerrigan. "Talked to Bob. He didn't know much."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Anything to help you out with this?" Kerrigan relaxed. Slightly.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Need to find someone who knows more. In my 'verse." She stirred the coffee with her finger. "Bob didn't need to know. A weapon, a tool." She paused. "He wanted me to come and talk to him again."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

And, oh, look. That sense of relaxation flew right out the window again. Kerrigan sat up. "Why?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Claims to think he can learn something from me," River replied uneasily.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Well, that's a given." Kerrigan may have had some bias, there, but she didn't care. "Think he's being honest?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

Hesitating a little, River then said: "I think he believes he's being honest."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"..." Kerrigan rubbed her forehead with two fingers. "It's not the same thing."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"I know." River looked at Kerrigan, her eyes asking for advice.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"...Be careful. Don't get sucked in." She rubbed at her forehead some more.

[ zomg, sorry, notifications are messing up big on me today ]

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

She gave a small nod. "Won't." Then a smile. "Have to mention blonde wigs though."

[No worries!]

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

She smiled back. Worriedly. "Yeah, you do," Kerrigan managed. "Seriously. Call me if it gets hairy. On cell if you have to."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

Another nod. "Won't take risks," River replied, then smiled warmly at Kerrigan.
