The Perk: Friday Morning

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair pushed two tables together, and dumped the contents of his backpack on one of them. Notebooks, reference books and of course...pens.

Now all he needed was a study buddy and major amounts of caffeine and sugar. Not necessarily in that order.

[Blair is here for Willow, but the post is open for all your caffeine or studying needs!]

Willow came in with her backpack slung over her shoulder. "Hey, Blair!"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Blair bounced and waved, before pointing over his shoulder at the counter. "First drink is on me."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Mocha, please," Willow said. "I'm all for caffiene and chocolate in a happily combined whole."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Happily combined drink it is!" Blair bounced over to the counter and ordered a coffee smoothie for himself and Willow's drink. While he waited he leaned against the counter. "What are your thoughts on muffins?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I am pro-muffin," Willow said. "Particularly of a fruity or cinnamony variety."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"I'm more of a chocolate chip guy, myself." Blair said, picking up a muffin. "Although I've been known to partake of a banana nut when the mood strikes me."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I am not against the chocolate chip oevre," Willow said. "But it seems overkill with the mocha."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure there is an overkill option when it comes to chocolate, but we'll go for the cinnamony option." Blair handed over the money to the clerk and brought back two plates and two drinks to the table. "Bon appetit!"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Thank you very much!" Willow said. She took a sip of her mocha, then unpacked her computer. "So I was thinking something in a slide show presentation could be fun to include."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"No problem." Blair shifted papers so he could open his laptop. "That's a great idea! I love making the little transitions between slides."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Me too!" Willow said. "And charts! Did you know you can animate charts now?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair stopped slurping on his smoothie and gaped at Willow. "Are you kidding me? That's...that's awesome."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow nodded. "You totally can! Like if you have a bar graph? Each bar can have its own entrance and even a little sound, like 'ping!'"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"We need to have an animated graph." Blair nodded, looking through some notes. "With ping noises and everything."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I am all for it," Willow said. She started typing out some notes. "So did you want to cover East or West? Or should we thumb wrestle for it?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair held his hand out, thumb wiggling. "I've got to warn you, I'm quick like a cat."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Shyeah right," Willow said, putting her own hand out in return. "You're going down, Sandburg. Winner gets West? It's alliterative."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Winner gets west." Blair repeated, grasping Willow's hand. "On your mark, get set...go!"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow did her best to try to pin Blair's thumb down. She lacked enough hand strength to really seal the deal though.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Being in a cast for almost two months had done one good thing for Blair, and his thumb strength was at an all time high.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow squeaked as her thumb was pounced upon.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Woo!" Blair grinned and raised his hand in triumph. "I win!"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow applauded graciously. "It was a fair fight, and I do not feel shamed for my loss."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"It's not really a loss, since you still get to do East." Blair smiled.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Oo! And then you and I could meet places?" Willow said, far too excited about this. "And we could be all 'Hey, East meets West' and nobody would get how cool and funny that joke was except us."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"We would be so cool!" Blair was a little excited about it as well and laughed into his smoothie.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"We could have a super secret East meets West handshake!" Willow said.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"With high-fiving and everything!" Blair bounced.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"And maybe even a knowing look at the end," Willow agreed.
