Knock Knock

Kai probably should have been a lil more exacting when he’d asked the girl if she had a boyfriend. If he’d maybe pressed the question a lil further before hooking up with her he wouldn’t be running down the hall now, trying his best to put as much distance as he possibly could between himself and 400 pounds of jealous linebacker.  Normally this was the part of the night where he’d find Roro to use as a his personal brand of growly asshole deterrent, but the last time he’d seen RO he’d had a drunk freshman hanging off his shoulders, so that course of action was probably closed to him. Instead, he did the only sensible thing he could think of, ducking into the nearest empty room and closing and locking the door behind him. Unfortunately the room he’d chosen seemed to be occupied. “Uh hey, sorry wow. So I’m just here for a minute or two, or twenty, don’t mind me.”

It was the last thing he’d expected either, especially as he wasn’t really paying attention and ended up walking straight into Wyoming as he was leaving South’s room. He looked at him a little apologetically for a second, then wondered what he’d been doing in there. “Could say the same to you, Wyoming,” he said with a shrug. “Is South in there,” He asked, glancing behind him to try and peek into the room and see if he could see the person he was looking for and his dog.

He grunted a bit at the sudden bump into him, not expecting that either since he had stopped short enough. But at the small glance in apology he returned a curt nod to show no harm done. He was going to ask if York knew where south was, but the man’s question did negate his own. “Not unless she’s hiding under her bed. Which, I don’t believe to be likely given the mess under it.” Sighing, he stepped to the side so York could see past him to confirm what he said. “The little hellion took off somewhere. And of course decided to take my cat with her. And of course didn’t think to ask first.”

Normally when York returned to his room at the end of the day, his little puppy was all over him, jumping up, yapping excitedly, and licking at his face when he finally picked him up. But the room was quiet for a change, and D was nowhere in sight, which should have been more worrying, except it wasn’t uncommon for South to just come along and steal his dog whenever she felt like it. Letting out an exasperated sigh, he started to make his way to South’s room to retrieve him, knowing that she’d be giving him nothing but treats and probably messing up some of the training he’d been giving him too. 

What are you talking about that wasn’t me! It was the other Oklahoma, he fills in from time to time and makes bad decisions and leads the new guys down the wayward path to mischief. [after a short while Oak ceased his walking, leaning against the door frame of his room still nursing a cat-like grin] Now now Reginald, you of all people should know a gentleman never tells. Asking me where I acquired things, the cheek of some people.

Oh, but of course. I should have known better. Bit embarrassed really that I didn’t pick up on him being someone completely different given my history with clones. Or maybe my embarrassment is for nothing and he actually lives only in your head? [snorts in amusement with a small smirk] I was not asking where you came across it Oak. I would never be so rude. Just your intentions for procuring it.

Okay fine don’t take the compliment. Won’t be the first guy today. Fiiiine…where exactly is the kitchen?

How do you not know where the kitchen is yet? Honestly, it’s-... [pauses for a moment and hums, looking kai up and down] No, I think you’d likely be too stupid to find it id I just gave you directions. And I don’t want you to show up blaming me for getting lost. Follow me so I can be rid of you.

Okay seeing as I’ve walked into two walls today I think I’m way past saving my dignity. Yeah you’re also responsible for the worsening bruise situation on the left side of my face dude. Congrats on that. And hey, I think they add character.

Of course I’m responsible. Why on earth would you be responsible for not watching where you’re walking? [groans and pinches at the bridge of his nose] Go put some ice on it before you gain too much character.

Entirely excited, have I ever given you a bad gift after all? [spins on his heel swiftly and begins the walk towards his bunk, grinning all the while like a kid at Christmas] So, as we are aware, you have a fondness for antiques. And, it just so happens that I came across something that I thought you might like.

Not bad, per say. But, you did give me one that managed to restart my smoking and I have yet to forgive you for that. [shakes his head in amusement as he continues to follow oak] By ‘came across’ do you mean you sought it out or it just... happened to fall in your lap?

[continues to grin] Not harmful to your health, but potentially harmful to others if used in the right capacity. Not the most practical of things however. [rocks backwards and forwards on his heels slowly, gesturing back over his shoulder casually] Follow me, good sir.

I don’t know if I should be excited or scared. And the funnest things are hardly ever practical are they? [smiles softly and trails after oak] Lead the way.
