Eli
Calliso kept a ready supply of energy bars and bottled coffee drinks in her room for just the sort of morning she was having. After a weekend of surprise boot camp and then the usual morning routine she didn't really want to face the dining hall or have to put forth effort in the kitchen. She kicked her door closed, two bottles and two energy bars in her hands, then looked up and sat Eli down the hall.

"Hey," she called to him, heading over. "Post-training pick-me-up?" she said, holding up one of the bottles.

	Eli turned at the voice and then grinned at the sight of Callisto heading over. And grinned wider at the sight of the bottle she was holding up. "You're a lifesaver." He lengthened his stride to meet her and accepted the bottle. "I was planning to restock this weekend, but my plans kind of got a kick in the ass." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Callisto set the second bottle down, then shoved one energy bar into her bag and unwrapped the other before grabbing her coffee again. "No problem. I lucked out and did a restock last week while I was in town getting a new backpack. Last one fell apart completely. Right on the library steps." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eli twisted the bottle open and took a long drink while Callisto got organized. "Things like that never happen in the safety of your room, do they? It's always in a crowd or on a staircase or over a puddle." He screwed the lid back on then stifled a yawn behind his hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Callisto grinned. "Where would the fun be in having it happen in private, right? I think it must have been designed to give out in public." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sentient backpacks. The latest development for tormenting struggling students." Eli snorted, then yawned again. He'd rarely been so tempted to cut classes in his life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You going to film class?" Callisto asked him before taking a sip of her coffee. "Cause if you are, I say we poke each other to stay awake if we're watching clips today. Mob mentality's fascinating and all, but if the lights go down I'm going to crash." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Either we poke each other or sit way in the back and hope no one notices if - wait, make that when we do crash," he countered, readjusting his backpack and heading for the door. "D'you snore?" He quirked a smile at her as he pushed it open and held it for her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not that I know of," she told him as she walked through and waited. "Maybe we'll luck out and it'll be something we've seen already." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"That's the best case scenario," he agreed, letting the door shut behind him as he followed her out into the spring chill. "Because I don't think I could stay awake through the most fascinating film ever made at this point."

He grimaced and rubbed a still stiff spot on the back of his neck. "Seriously, with all the powers we have between us they still manage to run is almost unconscious in just two days. It's like some sadistic kind of art form."

	"They do seem to have it down to an art," Callisto agreed, reaching up to adjust the strap on her patch. "But hey, whatever doesn't kill us, right? Pretty sure that's their operating motto." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_supersoldier_ 2011-03-22 04:27 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah," he agreed easily enough. "Not like we'll get to take breaks or demand a good night's sleep on missions some day. Doesn't mean I'm going to stop bitching about it, though," he added, grinning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, me neither," Callisto agreed, laughing. "It was a weekend full of mud and exhaustion. What's not to complain about?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_supersoldier_ 2011-03-22 04:44 am UTC (link)
	Eli laughed as well. "Don't forget the MREs. Those things are bad enough when you're not so filthy you're dripping sweat and mud into them if you're not careful." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"See, that's when I'm glad for the tentacles," Callisto told him, tapping the patch lightly. "When they're out, and just after? Man, I could eat a rancid hippo and I wouldn't care. No thinking, just eating." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm not sure I could manage to be grateful for the power to choke down a rancid hippo." Eli made a face at her and shuddered dramatically. "But something that'd make MREs more edible sure wouldn't hurt." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hent_eye 2011-03-22 05:04 am UTC (link)
	"I like to look on the bright side," she told him, giving him a big grin. "But man am I glad for real food." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_supersoldier_ 2011-03-22 05:07 am UTC (link)
	"Real food, served hot, and eaten dry and indoors," he agreed with an answering grin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hent_eye 2011-03-22 05:10 am UTC (link)
	"Fresh vegetables," Callisto added. "Things that don't taste like sawdust." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_supersoldier_ 2011-03-22 09:32 am UTC (link)
	"You can keep the vegetables," he informed Cal with a grin. "I'm hoping there are burgers and fries on the menu for lunch." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hent_eye 2011-03-22 12:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay, I can go for burgers and fries too, I just like the idea of something being obviously fresh," Callisto explained. "But first, class." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Okay, I suppose vegetables are a good indication that the food's fresh," Eli agreed. "I'd just rather not eat them." Which was one of the bonuses of eating in a dining hall most nights, though his grandma sure never let him get away with it when he ate there.

"And yeah, class. And hoping it's something incredibly dull we've seen before. But if not, prepare to be poked relentlessly."

	Callisto held up one finger and made stabbing motions with it. "Right, got my poking finger ready." (Reply to this) (Parent)
