The Perk [Sunday, Morning]

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Why it was, that Angela was up and about early on days she really didn't need to be, would probably forever be a mystery.

She was, though, and it was still really cold out. Excess cold called for caffeine. The good stuff, not the 'found in a common room' variety.

So she ordered a mocha, flirted with the barista to get extra cream (surprising how well that usually worked), and found herself a comfortable chair to relax in. After her conversation with Dinah yesterday she was definitely considering stopping in on this convention before she went back to the dorms, just for interests sake.

[[and totally open!]]

Ichigo entered the Perk, yawning broadly. Not that he'd just stumbled out of his bed. No, he'd been out running and he was still slightly out of breath. Bright orange hair peaked out from under the hood he'd pulled on and he didn't notice Angela until after he'd placed his order.

"Hey."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela offered him a little wave, and a returned, "Morning," of greeting.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"You're up early," he commented, taking that morning as an invitation to sit down in the chair opposite her.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"So are you," she pointed out, smiling at him. "Must be the day for it."

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"How do you know I'm not always up this early?" he asked, not that he had any idea about her. He was guessing she was the type who liked sleeping in late, though. He was the type who kept being woken up in the middle of the night to go out on a hollow hunt. Weird how you could miss something like that.

Angela shrugged. "Teenage boys who get up before noon are just a very rare breed," she said with a grin. "That's all."

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"I am a rare breed," he agreed as if she'd just complimented him. He was getting too hot and he pushed the hoodie off. For a moment his hair still lay squashed against it head, but then it was quickly standing on end again. It just looked more dishevelled than usually.

"Go you and your individuality," Angela teased.

"So, did you work out the thing with Ino?" she asked, taking a sip of her drink.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I guess so," he said, frowning at his cup. He wasn't sure if it was called working things out, but they were talking again. "She bought me a sweater."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Well, that's probably a good sign," Angela decided with a slight chuckle. "Was there a reason for it? And is it a nice sweater?"

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"I don't think there was a reason," he wondered if he should have asked if there was. "And yeah, it's a nice one."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Hm." Angela turned her coffee mug between her hands. "There's usually some reason," she remarked. "Even if it's not a big one."

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"Maybe she's hoping it will get me off her back about the shirt she stole," he suggested.

Chuck wanted good coffee too. Actually, he wanted good coffee yesterday but he was too bruised (Dean's fault) and sore (Hannibal's fault) to actually work up the energy to leave the room. But he was up and walking around today, which was the important thing.

"Hey," he said sleepily when he spotted Angela. It was seriously a miracle that he was up before noon on a Sunday.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela couldn't help a little wince of sympathy at the bruising. "Chuck," she greeted.

She paused, not quite sure if it was something to be brought up or not, before she continued. "Don't tell me... incident with a doorknob?" Went with 'just go for it', then.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck raised an eyebrow. "I'm not quite that adventurous."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Just Hannibal who used that as an excuse for his bruises, then. "Probably a good thing," Angela decided.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Know many people who get into incidents with doorknobs?" Oh come on, he had to ask.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"No one where it's actually been the truth," she replied.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Oh, good. I hate finding people with dirtier minds than me," Chuck said, sitting down into a chair. He pointed to the bruises on his face. "This was your usual fist-to-face kind of thing."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela shook her head slightly. "What is it with you boys and getting beaten up?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"We do it for the girls," Chuck joked. "You girls love bruises, don't lie."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Can't say you don't wear them well," Angela remarked with a little smile. Yes, they were definitely kind of hot in a 'needs TLC' sort of a way.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Why thank you," Chuck said, smirking. "If the whole process of getting the bruises wasn't such a hassle, I'd get them more often."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Who'd you manage to piss off?" she asked.
