when: Late night/early morning
where: Andrew's room, 220D
Elle had been on the ship for a week - a whole week! - and she had yet to even speak with Andrew, let alone see him, when she finally got around to posting her introduction to the staff network. It didn't take long for her (purely platonic) other half to make his presence known in her journal. After the name-calling, the trash-talking, and finding out that Andrew had burnt his hand, Elle got an invite over to his room. There was no way in hell she was going to turn down the chance to see him. Not only was he her best friend, but she hadn't seen him in months.
But he wanted candy. Where was she supposed to get candy? Her roommate might have had some tucked away somewhere, but a candy stealer was not the first impression she wanted to make on the girl. Elle sat on her bed for a while longer, thinking, as she continued to converse with Xander through comments. She wasn't sure why, but the guy already had her interest piqued. Maybe it was because he was a firefighter and Elle couldn't get the image of the stereotypical firefighter calendar out of her head. Or maybe it was because he amused her. Or maybe because she figured with a name like Xander (even if it was short for Alexander) that he had to be interesting.
When she decided she couldn't keep Andrew waiting any longer, Elle told Xander she'd talk to him later and then shut her laptop, hopping off the bed. Yanking one of her duffel bags up onto her bed, she rummaged through it for a moment before pulling out an unopened bag of Skittles. They'd have to suffice. Leaving the bag where it was, she slipped her feet into a pair of sneakers and tucked her keys into the band of her shorts before leaving her room. The walk down to his room didn't take her long, though when she came face to face with his door she wasn't sure whether she or not she should knock or just bust in. One the one hand it was incredibly late and knocking might wake up his roommate (if he had one), but if she just waltzed in she might walk in on his roommate. Doing something. Hum.
Shaking the blue bag in her hand, Elle eventually just shrugged and went for the door handle, figuring if she did something to make his roommate not like her... well, they just wouldn't like her. No skin off her back. "Annnndy."
