The breakfast that I owe you.

Isabel, looking much less disheveled, stood in front of the cafeteria, waiting on Connor.

by **Connor Marshall** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 1:18 am

Connor still looked tired as he walked up, though he did look like he'd taken the time to shower and otherwise clean up. "Didn't keep y' waiting long, did I, luv?"

by **Isabel Galen** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 1:19 am

"Nah, I just got here a second ago."

by **Connor Marshall** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 1:34 am

"Cheers. Let's eat, then, I'm bloody starved," Connor said, walking in ahead of her.

by **Isabel Galen** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 1:38 am

"So, what have you been up to?" Isabel asked, lamely.

by **Connor Marshall** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 2:11 am

"Eh, working. Bills t'pay an' all that. Doc said t' take it easy for a month, so I've been taking all the games on the telly. Bloody boring."

by **Isabel Galen** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 2:35 pm

"But safer." Isabel said "Besides, this way you can actually watch the game."

by **Connor Marshall** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 2:44 pm

"Eh,not the same. You'd ever really been to a game, you'd get it," Connor said as he picked up a tray.

by **Isabel Galen** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 2:48 pm

"Maybe I'll have to go." Isabel said.

by **Connor Marshall** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 2:59 pm

"Maybe I'll take you to one once this concussion's all healed up," Connor said.

by **Isabel Galen** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 3:47 pm

"Only if you promise we'll sit in the 'no riot' section." Isabel said

by **Connor Marshall** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 4:27 pm

"You've definitely never been to a game before," Connor chuckled.

by **Isabel Galen** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 5:34 pm

"And here I thought you wanted to keep me from risky behavior."

by **Connor Marshall** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 6:32 pm

"Hey, you know exactly what's going to happen in a toss-up. You're gonna hit someone, they're gonna hit you, it's all under control."

by **Isabel Galen** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 11:15 pm

"And knowing that its pink isn't enough?" Isabel asked, possibly joking.

by **Connor Marshall** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 11:59 pm

"Well, clubs have a lot of flashy lights. Maybe you only think it's pink," Connor said, probably just playing along.

by **Isabel Galen** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 12:13 am

"I probably won't try it again." Isabel said "It didn't make any difference."

by **Connor Marshall** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 12:23 pm

Connor cocked an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "Well, I'd hope you wouldn't do it again because it's bloody stupid, but okay, I'll bite. A difference in what?"

by **Isabel Galen** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 12:30 pm

"It didn't take my mind off of the shit in my life." Isabel said "At least getting drunk distracts me."

by **Connor Marshall** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 12:30 pm

Connor scoffed. "What shit in yer life, luv?"

by **Isabel Galen** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 12:39 pm

"My home country is gearing up for anti-mutant genocide, the guy I'm in love with is with someone else, if I use my power or don't use my power, someone suffers."

by **Connor Marshall** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 12:44 pm

Connor took a bite of his bacon, chewing it thoughtfully, then shrugged. "So just another day, then, luv."

by **Isabel Galen** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 2:24 pm

"yeah, and after awhile I get sick of being ground down by it, and I try to forget for awhile and I end up getting drunk half the time. And then people tell me I'm an idiot." Isabel said "Seriously, how can anyone look at the world and not be depressed?"

by **Connor Marshall** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:14 pm

Connor shrugged. "Well, when I wake up and think about growing up in the orphanage system, getting beaten around by all the kids that had families for about ten years until I was too big for 'em to do it, Spending the next ones in trouble because the kids picking fights and losing had parents to come raise a scene with the schools, working my arse off to make tuition because no one else'll bloody pay for it so 'm working six nights a week while all the other blighters're living it up at school on their scholarships and their parents' bill... I just figure moping would be a waste of the wee bit of time I actually have."

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:17 pm

"I'm on an academic scholarship." Isabel said defensively "And I only have spending money because I work in the infirmary."

by **Connor Marshall** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:23 pm

"Good on ya. That scholarship cover everything?"

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:25 pm

"Tuition, books, room and board." Isabel confirmed "Its a good deal. As long as I keep my grades up, which I'm doing."

by **Connor Marshall** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:32 pm

"That'd be a sweet deal," Connor said wistfully. "'Course, I'm just a stupid street kid, so it's my fault if I have to work it off the hard way, right?"

by **Isabel Galen** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 4:31 pm

"Yeah, yeah, I get it, my life could be worse, since I wasn't raised in a Dickens novel."

by **Connor Marshall** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 10:23 pm

"Don't be snotty," he said. "It can always be worse. It just isn't going to get any better if you sit there and feel sorry for yourself."

by **Isabel Galen** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 10:37 pm

"Yeah, I tried that last night."

by **Connor Marshall** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 10:39 pm

"No, you tried being self-destructive last night," He said.

by **Isabel Galen** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 10:41 pm

"I wasn't sitting around being depressed."

by **Connor Marshall** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 11:07 pm

"No, you were going out drinking and being depressed."

by **Isabel Galen** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 11:18 pm

"I was trying not to be depressed."

by **Connor Marshall** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 11:23 pm

"Trying not to be depressed, or trying to be happy?"

by **Isabel Galen** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 11:47 pm

"There's a difference?"

by **Connor Marshall** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 11:59 pm

"Yeah, pretty much."

by **Isabel Galen** » Sat Jan 12, 2013 12:45 am

"And the difference is?"

by **Connor Marshall** » Sat Jan 12, 2013 1:12 am

"Well, what makes you happy?"
