Room 227 [Saturday Night]

"You didn't *let* it take your axe," Bridge says again, frowning. "It flung you into a *tree*." He slips off a glove to quickly enter his keycode, and opens the door.

"Okay, point, and also not one that you haven't already made three times on the walk here," Xander replies, following him in and shutting the door with his good hand. "But still."

"And if I'd seen that," he nods at Xander's injured hand, "coming, I could've done something to prevent it. Warned you or something."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander sits down on one of the beds and scrunches his face up at Bridge. "How were you supposed to see it coming? You were busy finishing off another mummy."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge shrugs. "I don't know," he admits, sitting down next to Xander. "I guess it's just... of all things, I should be able to keep the people I care about from getting hurt."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander eyes Bridge's gloves, which seem to be firmly in place. "Are you sure you're not reading my mind? Maybe those are thinner than the old ones or something."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Maybe it's a concussion thing," Bridge suggests half-seriously.

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander frowns and waves the only fingers he can wave. "Still no sparkly, right?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"No sparkly," Bridge confirms.

[soldtoarmenians]

"Just checking. Sparkly not good." Xander grins. "Though if I were a totally unscrupulous person I could pretend it was glitter instead of hallucination..."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge laughs. "Personally, *I* have no scruples against pretending that."

[soldtoarmenians]

"I dunno. Maybe we're too injured to kiss?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge looks at Xander, wide-eyed, with a faintly horrified expression.

[soldtoarmenians]

"Well,okay, neither of us hurt our lips," Xander admits.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yes! Exactly!" Bridge says.

[soldtoarmenians]

"I am supposed to keep an eye on you. Granted this is a pretty close eye," Xander says as he leans over to keep a pretty close eye on Bridge.

Bridge only pulls away because he suddenly remembers something, and for some reason it seems pretty important. "Oh!"

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander blinks, because what they were doing right then seemed pretty damned important too. "What?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"The book!" Bridge says. "I said I'd show you the giraffes book..." he gets up and starts looking through the books on his shelves for it.

[soldtoarmenians]

"Oh...kay." He was about about to point out that they kinda had all night for that, but... they kinda have all night for the other thing too, so fine. Giraffes it is.

Bridge frowns, after a minute or two of searching with no luck.

"I can't find it!"

[soldtoarmenians]

"Did you loan it to somebody, maybe?" Xander asks.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Nooooo," Bridge says. "At least, I don't think I did but maybe I did and I just don't remember that I did..."

[soldtoarmenians]

"I'd worry about the concussion getting worse if that wasn't actually the way you usually talk," Xander says, grinning.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge sticks his tongue out.

[soldtoarmenians]

"You can always show it to me later," Xander points out. "And no, not your tongue."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I could show you *that* now," Bridge says, moving back over to the bed. And does.
