Room 507, Saturday night

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia had a lot to think about from the weekend, not the least of which was her conversation with the Doctor that morning.

"Love is knowing that giving up the last bit of antidote so your friend can survive over you is the right thing," the Doctor said. "Love is knowing that you have to let her go, to free a people from slavery even though it'll leave her trapped in another dimension. Love is letting your granddaughter stay behind, because she found someone to replace you."

Did she feel like that about anyone? Would she do that for anyone?

Would anyone do that for her?

Kira had hurried back to the dorms to find Conner and totally failed to actually look at the right name in the directory when she knocked on Nadia's door.

[nadiathesaint]

"Yeah, come in," Nadia called, sitting up.

[shes-a-screamer.livejournal.com]

Kira opened the door and stepped in. "Okay, there's a giant talking blue dog that knows we were Rangers and I am so not ready for someone telling me that that is totally nor--"

She paused.

"You're not Conner."

[nadiathesaint]

"Um, no," Nadia blinked at the visitor. "I'm not his roommate, either. And I don't know any giant talking blue dog, but I have a blue cat that'll talk if you speak cat."

"Oh, uhhh, hi," Kira said. "I think I must've gotten some numbers mixed up."

[nadiathesaint]

"That's okay. I'm Nadia. Are you Conner's sister?"

[shes-a-screamer.livejournal.com]

Kira had to snort a laugh at that. "No. I'm Kira. We went to high school together, last year."

[nadiathesaint]

"Oh. Well, it's very nice of you to come visit him, then. What was that about 'Rangers'?"

[shes-a-screamer.livejournal.com]

"Oh, well, technically I told Conner I wouldn't talk about that," Kira said. "Because he's all wanting to be secrety about it."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded slowly and filed the whole Rangers thing away for further reference. "He's kind of an odd one, isn't he."

[shes-a-screamer.livejournal.com]

"You're telling me," Kira said. "Did you know he's gay? He's totally gay. I called that, like, last year, even with the whole tree girl stuff, and he totally came out here."

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, that's better than the whole 'he's a eunuch' rumor that was going around a bit this summer,"

[shes-a-screamer.livejournal.com]

Kira's eyes bugged. "People thought he was a eunuch?"

Weiss knocked on the door. "Nadia? Hey, it's me. I wanted to apologize for being a douche with the ships in boats."

[nadiathesaint]

At least that voice she recognized. She got up and hurried over to open the door. "Eric. It's okay. I was kind of mean about it."

[http://users.livejournal.com/weissguy_/]

"You look like you've got your own stuff going on. Want to talk about it? Also--" he pulled a motorboat in a bottle out from behind his back "--have a boat."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia accepted the motorboat, taking a moment to take a look at it and nod appreciatively. "Thank you. And . . . things are just kind of weird right now. I don't really know how to explain it."

[http://users.livejournal.com/weissguy_/]

"Tell you what. I'll come in, we'll talk about whatever, and if you feel like talking about the weird, you will. If not, well... who wants to sulk alone, you know? I tried that. I have like 6 ships in bottles now."

[nadiathesaint]

"That's not two in an hour, which is good." Nadia stepped to one side to let him in. "And I don't mind talking."

[http://users.livejournal.com/weissguy_/]

"Good, because I don't mind listening," Weiss ambled in and plunked himself on Nadia's bed. "So. What's up?"

[nadiathesaint]

"It's dumb. You don't have anyone visiting this weekend?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/weissguy_/]

"Nope. Folks didn't want to go in on the plane ticket. How about you?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shook her head. "Only person who might have been able to couldn't get away from the orphanage for that long. I got to meet some other people, though."

[http://users.livejournal.com/weissguy_/]

"Really? Anybody cool?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Angela's dad is a really good cook, Parker's dad was . . . Okay, I have no idea because he never said a word to me, Marty's . . . I guess she's his secretary? She was kind of intense, but seemed nice enough, Walter's employer was either on his absolute best behavior or isn't anywhere near as crazy as Walter makes him out to be, and Conner's friend was really confused in that she seemed to think this was Conner's room, but was really nice about it."
