Room 209, Sunday afternoon/evening

[can_be_more]

After leaving Sanctity, Aeryn's really impressively agitated. She's on the phone as soon as she's out the door, heading back to the dorms.

And once she's back there, she opens the door to 209 and waits.

John comes inside the room, shutting the door behind him.

"What's going on?" he asks immediately.

"You've talked with Scorpius," she says, looking him over carefully.

"Yeah," he says slowly. "Twice."

[can_be_more]

"Did he do anything to you?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Like?" John has no idea what's going on.

[can_be_more]

"Anything," she says.

"We talked once in the hotel," John tells her. "And I saw him at Jeff's. Helped him pick out a pastry."

[can_be_more]

She doesn't feel any better. Yes, she's paranoid. "What did he tell you?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"About the other me," John says, "and how helped him and how they fought together. And about wormholes."

[can_be_more]

"He's a liar," Aeryn tells him.

"What?" John shakes his head, rubbing at the lingering headache in his temple. "I mean...what?"

[can_be_more]

She takes a deep breath. "He approached me yesterday about the Peacekeeper weapons Tex is selling. He proceeded to tell me about the other me, and you. I went to Zhaan for confirmation of his story. At the very least, he twisted details in what he told me. He wasn't helping you with anything."

"What was he doing with me then?"

WAKING UP - LATER

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John did not sleep that well. So, when he rolls over, figures out he's still in Aeryn's room, all he can do is yawn and rub his face.

Aeryn's finally moved, sitting at her desk to get some work done, since she didn't know how long he was going to be out. But she's been listening, so when she hears him yawn, she turns in her seat. "Feeling better?"

"A little," he lies. He doesn't move to get up though. "How long was I asleep?"

Re: WAKING UP - LATER

"An arn or two," she says, watching him again.

"Hm." He tries to sneak a quick glance towards the corner before looking back at her. "What're you doing?"

Re: WAKING UP - LATER

[can_be_more]

"Handwavey schoolwork," she tells him. "Nothing too important."

Re: WAKING UP - LATER

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Oh." For once, John's having a hard time in thinking of some form of conversation. Almost speechless. "How are you?"

Re: WAKING UP - LATER

[can_be_more]

"I'm okay," she says, getting up to sit on the edge of the bed. "Was I missing something earlier?"

Re: WAKING UP - LATER

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Huh?" John tries the idiot tactic to avoid that question.

Re: WAKING UP - LATER

[can_be_more]

Aeryn turns to look at that one corner, and raises her eyebrows at him.

Re: WAKING UP - LATER

"There's nothing there," he says quickly and turns over on his side so he doesn't have to look at the corner.

Re: WAKING UP - LATER

[can_be_more]

"No, there isn't," she says. And trying to lighten the mood maybe a little, says, "Maybe I should put something there?"
