icecoldfrost: (just let go / beauty in the breakdown)

Emma had skipped class yesterday, preferring instead to cocoon herself in a pile of blankets and try to sleep-off her powers hangover. She didn't need to give herself a worse migraine by listening to Professor Dèmon prattle on, no matter how entertaining and well-intentioned he was.

She was feeling a bit better today, however, and was bored with sleeping. She'd ventured out of her room long enough for a shower and to steal a movie from the common room, and was now curled up on her bed again, happily humming along.

Hopefully her furred roommate wouldn't mind her choice of entertainment.

[Door and post are open! ETA: Now on SP as I go to the internet-less job.]

Someone had listened to radio.

Someone was Not Best Pleased by the description of Emma bleeding from orifices.

Jack knew Deadpool was not the most unbiased source imaginable, though, so he controlled his worry as he made his way up the stairs to Emma's room and leaned in through the cracked door.

"You look cozy," he said, the slightest edge to his voice.

Jack would happily walk over to sit next to her on the bed. "Tell me why Deadpool thinks you were playing telepathic tricks that left you bleeding before I start yelling, please."

He said please. He was being polite.

"You were practicing outside when people are going insane just breathing the air," Jack said, but he backed down. A fraction. He took a good look at her, and the hand he stroked her hair with put the lie to his brusque tone. "Emma, what were you trying to prove? And will you be good and stay inside the rest of the week?""

"Only that, of course," Jack agreed solemnly, though his eyes danced. "You wouldn't take advice from a landen like me on this matter."

... sometimes Karla's vocabulary was useful, okay?

"I'm glad to hear you're on the mend, either way."

"You can have fun," Jack said graciously. "Quiet, inside fun, with tea and soft music and absolutely no stretching your powers until you're all mended up."

he stroked her hair again. "I'm fussy by nature, Miss Frost. And if I got hurt detecting I'd listen to you."

Maybe.

Jack considered that for a long moment. "Deal," he finally agreed. "And Sebastien wouldn't be so vulgar as to sit on me, he'd just give me one of his looks until I gave up on whatever I was going to do."

Jack found it not at all a hardship to keep playing with Emma's hair, and he stayed close to her to continue it, almost smiling at her comment about vulgar measures.

"Are you trying to distract me with sex, Miss Frost?"

"Is it going to make your head explode again?"

Jack may have been overestimating his own prowress, though possibly not by much.

Jack raised an eyebrow at her. "I'd take you up on that challenge, except now you have me curious again. What practice didit take to break your brain?"

Jack couldn't hide his wince. "Six hours?" he said. "I was out there five minutes and I went mad. I'm glad you're improving, but -- no wonder, Emma."

He leaned in to kiss her forehead. "Do you know why it went wrong, or were you just exhausted?"

Jack eyed her, suspecting more had happened that she wasn't saying, but accepted the explanation enough to resume petting her hair. "I owe Karla and Sookie flowers, then," he decided. "As soon as we can go outside again."

"Bushels," Jack agreed, and closed his eyes. "If we can ever leave the dorms again."

"We could band up and go on supply runs," Jack mused. "Though if we could do that, it might be better to get off the island all together."

He sighed and flopped backward on the bed. "I don't like feeling so damned useless."
