Room 238, Thursday morning

[can_be_more]

The summer's almost over and Aeryn still hasn't learned about that thing called 'laziness'. It's not too early, but Aeryn's up already and just laying there isn't doing anything for her. Not wanting to wake John, she sits up and starts to get out of bed.

"I'm comfortable," he protests and buries his head in her lap,

[can_be_more]

"I know. But maybe you shouldn't multitask right after waking up."

He takes another bite and shows her that he can do it.

[can_be_more]

"Should I applaud?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"It might be nice."

[can_be_more]

"It takes a little bit more to impress me, John," she tells him.

So, he takes a bite with his eyes closed AND touches his nose with the tip of the pizza.

[can_be_more]

"More than tat."

"You ask too much for so early in the morning."

[can_be_more]

"I'm still hard to impress no matter what time of day it is," she reminds him. "And it's not that early."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Hmph." He takes another bite before cuddling closer and sighing.

[can_be_more]

Okay, now she just feels like poking at him, verbally. "Wake up."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"No," he mutters and doesn't move.

[can_be_more]

"Yes," she says, and does poke him in the shoulder this time.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

He scrunches his face up and clings to her legs. "Noooo."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn doesn't think she's ever heard that said by him that way before. She pokes him again, kind of out of curiosity.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Stoppit," he complains. "I'm sleeping."

[can_be_more]

"Not if I can help it." Poke.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Ouch! That one hurt." He doesn't get up though.

[can_be_more]

"It wasn't supposed to," she says, and this time just prods him really lightly against his side, which turns more into rubbing the area. Just in case it's another weird thing where poking is harmful to humans. She really wouldn't put it past this species.

"Why're you trying to keep me awake?"

[can_be_more]

"I have no idea," Aeryn admits. "I just like when you're awake."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I'll be awake soon," he says drowsily.

[can_be_more]

Aeryn gives up, uses her hands to hold up his head so it doesn't smack into the mattress right away, and lays in the space she's got.

"What're you doing?" John asks, sleepy again.
