25 Unicorn Street, Friday Evening

[on_her_korhal]

So.

She had some food in the fridge. And drinks. Non-alcoholic drinks.

So.

She had a couch. And a record player. And--

A birthday party, apparently. Maybe. She wasn't sure.

[ open for some particular people, but hell, anyone who has any reason to be there ]

"Right," Lee said, snagging the blue bottle and dragging it out of the fridge. "I got your message last week."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, and you weren't staying in the dorms when I came back," Kerrigan said, pulling open one of the cabinets and rooting around for some glasses. "If you were still in my class, I'd get you an E for failing at the Booth."

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't in the dorms because I was in Africa," Lee told her. "Nowhere near the damn statues."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"It still falls under 'doing something stupid'." She slammed-- well, okay, mostly put, but there was some hint of slamming-- the glasses onto the counter. "You're lucky you didn't get your ass kicked."

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"I didn't." Well, the trap didn't count. "I was safe!"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"You have a weird definition of 'safe'," she countered, leaning over to reach for the blue bottle.

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"I was safe," he repeated. "That's not a weird definition. It's true!"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"You were in a desert." And filled her own glass. Lee could get his own.

Which was sitting right there, anyway, but it was the thought that counted. "That's not safe, that's dehydration."

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"We had water," he countered, pouring his own glass. "We had lots of water and the camels were safe and there was a teacher with us."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Which one?" She leaned against the counter.

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Dr. Mizrahi, I think," Lee said, frowning. "Yeah, that was her. I don't know what she teaches but she was nice enough."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Kerrigan made a noise somewhere in that grumbling area. She sipped her very blue-- okay. Heavily caffeinated. "Next time, go somewhere safer."

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't stupid, I promise," he said. "I helped and I met a hermit and he gave us information. And I helped."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"I know."

In more ways than he was probably aware of. Sometimes it was hard to stay angry with the constant buzzing in her head. "Guess what. I helped, too." She sounded more amused than anything else.

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Where'd you go?" Lee asked curiously. "Who'd you beat up?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Dean Jones' London." Another sip of her insanely fizzy drink. "A couple of people." She grinned.

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Beat them up good?" Lee asked, grinning back. "Are they still walking?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"They weren't after I was through with them," she said, with a smirk-- "But Dean Jones said no casualties."

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Nice job," Lee said and meant it. "How was London? I don't know where that is."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Me neither," she admitted, "It was a little lo-tech."

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Africa was sandy," he told her. "Sandy and hot and the sun was huge."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"London was mostly cold and wet," Kerrigan returned, "Lot of back alleys. Kind of reminded me of what Korhal must've been like."

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Is it not like that now?" Lee wondered.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"They bombed it to the ground, so I'm figuring not," she said, dryly.

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Sorry," Lee said sheepishly. "Didn't know. Caprica's a lot like Africa except there's more...people, I guess. Buildings and schools. It's not spread out."
