Dorm Room 86: Vera's Room.

Roy nods awkwardly.

"Mm hmm. Funny how it just started out with you slamming into my room and dragged me out to the woods. It wasn't so much a date at that point as it was a kidnapping."

He chuckles, thinking about how scared and worried he was.

"It was fun, though. Going out for dinner, walking around town...even going out and looking at the witch hut. Although I think the rodent thing was a bit much."

He thinks for a moment. She probably wants him to kiss her. That's what he's supposed to do, isn't it? But imagine if it isn't! He doesn't want to get slapped. But she kissed him earlier, so surely that makes it alright? Or does it not work that way? Ah well. He steels his nerves, leans forward, and performs the first act of bravery he's done in about eight years.

"Hehehe..."

Roy grins when she breaks away and pushes him back.

"See ya, Vera!"

He waves, then heads down the hall. That went far, far better than he had imagined it would. He didn't even get turned into a frog! And now he had some excitement to look forward to...fun times. Walks back down the hall, and to his own room. It's getting late, after all.

A muffled response can be heard from inside. It might have been an invitation to open the door. It might have been her telling him to sod off. If Roy musters his courage and tries the door, he will find it unlocked. Inside Vera's room looks more like a garden, than a bedroom. The ground is covered in grass, flowers cover the floors, and climb up the walls. There are even trees! If Roy looks closly at the tree's he would notice that some have drawers, others are shaped like chairs, one even forms a desk chair combo. Against one wall two trees grow side by side, and strung between them is a hammock. Laying face down in that hammock, face covered by dirty blonde hair is Vera. Vera, whose blanket is only covering just above her waist, leaving her very naked back exposed.

Vera managed to lift her head from her pillow, when Roy entered. She looked at him through her hair, with bleary eyes. She watched as he noticed her state of undress, and then scurried out the door. Giving a sleepy giggle of amusement, her strength leaves her and face collides with pillow. It takes her a few minutes to actually process what happened. When she does she groans, and rolls out of bed falling the four feet to the floor. She lands in a heap, her fall creating an audible thud. Now that she was on the ground she could connect with the earth, and she draws upon it's energy. Finally fully conscious, she rolls to her feet.

"Ugh, my mouth tastes like death"

Her bad breath is a palpable force, she can feel on her tongue. Moving over to a tree trunk shaped like basin, she makes a pass and it fills with water. She dunks her head, taking in a mouth full of water. Raising her head she gargles, and spits out the water, before brushing her teeth with a sprig of mint. Finally she gets dressed, hide leggings, light green blouse. Still drying her hair she opens the door.

"Hey Roy, what's going on?"

Vera places her hands firmly on her hips, and gives Roy a haughty glare. Her tone matches her posture, she sounds offended.

"Mr. Fletcher, are you asking me out on a date? Me, one of the prettiest girls in the academy? Go on a date with you, a skinny vampire whose afraid of the dark. I have just one thing to say to that."

She gets right into Roy's face, glaring dangerously. She then darts in and gives him a peck on the cheek. When Roy see's her face again, it is lit up by a smile, and she says with a giggle.

"Of course! Took you long enough to ask."

Vera allows herself to be lead for a change, impressed that he took her arm this time. It appears as though he was gaining a bit of confidence, at least when it came to her.

"Good things come to those who dare Roy! And sometimes good things pester you, until you start daring."

It was pretty clear she considers herself to be good things. She chuckles when she mentions locking her door.

"Who says my door wasn't locked? Maybe I unlocked it, to see if I could drive you wild with passion! Or you know, maybe I just leave my door unlocked. It's never really been an issue, most people knock, and I do have wards."

<Exit to The Forge Fire Tavern.>

When Roy puts the blanket on her, Vera's arms shoot out wrapping around his upper torso. With surprising strength she half hauls him into the hammock, which is just large enough for two people. His legs are dangling awkward out of the hammock, and she is clearly still half asleep as she murmurs.

"Mine."

She is strong, though not so strong that Roy couldn't break free. Still her grip is firm and insistent, and Roy may find it easier to just snuggle up next to her.

Vera slowly wakes up, she was holding onto something. It was warm, skinny, and soft. She opens her eyes and blinks languidly, oh it was just Roy. She closes her eyes and snuggles in closer. For a moment she is very comfy, then something clicks. Roy was in her bed. Roy was in her bed, and so was she. She and Roy were sleeping together.

"BWAAAAHHAAAAAAAA!"

With an inarticulate cry of panic, Vera jerks away from Roy. Since they are in a hammock, this has the unfortunate effect of sending them to the floor. They land in a tangled heap of interconnect limbs. Blushing furiously, Vera disentangles herself from Roy.

"Roy what... we didn't? Did we? Mother Gaia! I wanted to remember my first time!"

Vera finally gets free of Roy, panting heavily.

Vera takes a few deep, entirely needed, shuddering breaths. Now that she is calming down, she can see they are both fully dressed. Vera still blushing, a first for her let's out a little laugh.

"Sorry. You just surprised me is all, I was worried we did something. Oh! Not that I don't want to do that something g with you! Wait, no. I mean I do want to be with you, I'm just not ready. Though h til I panicked it was really nice, not that..."

Vera continues to ramble like this. She isn't quite sure, what she was trying to say anymore. To top it off she felt embarrassed, which she wasn't used to.
