Room 511, Saturday Afternoon

[thatsamilkshake]

After yesterday, Francine was feeling pretty good about the first aid idea, a bit more like the whole support group plan -- or rather, her being involved in the whole support group plan -- wasn't so crazy after all.

So today she was sitting at her desk with a bowl of cherry tomatoes -- what? They're a fruit! -- and her notebook, looking over the list of things she'd put together from Arthur and from yesterday, occasionally adding a note like "bring gatorade, not just water: electrolytes!"

[OOC: Expecting the... uh. Cheekbones! But open. As is the door.]

After detention, Morgana had been tempted to bathe again to be certain that all the fish parts were off of her skin. But, she had more important things to attend to first, and she peered into Francine's room before knocking, to try to make sure she wasn't disturbing her.

Francine being Francine, it took a second for her to notice someone at the door, but she gave Morgana a big, if nervous, smile, and stood up. "Hi!"

To... Morgana, not the bowl of tomatoes she'd just scattered across the floor. That was pretty much a bye.

"Oh! Here, let me get those," Morgana said, bending down to try to gather up the tomatoes. "I apologize, I didn't mean to startle you."

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine dropped to a crouch, blushing, to scoop them up. "You didn't. I'm just a klutz."

"These look quite good," Morgana said with a smile, wanting to be polite. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything."

[thatsamilkshake]

"No, I was just looking at notes for the support stuff, actually." Francine set the tomatoes she'd picked up on the desk. "They are good. Want some? ...of the ones that didn't fall on the floor." She held out the half-empty bowl.

"Thank you," Morgana said, taking one. "So you've been busy? That's wonderful. I really do think this group is going to work well, especially if we have more days like yesterday."

"Priestly said he'd be into helping," Francine told her. "He made sandwiches for people coming back in from the fighting yesterday, while I was doing bandages and stuff."

The name sounded familiar, and it took a moment for her to remember Dinah mentioning him. "Oh, the boy with the tall hair," she said, laughing. "Good, that should be very helpful. Food is probably one of the most important things to offer."

[thatsamilkshake]

"Food, we won't have a problem with." Francine grinned and checked the list. "I talked to Arthur. He said supplies and places for people to take shelter. And I told him he might want to have more people get cellphones than, you know. Him. So we can keep contact."

[nevertobequeen.livejournal.com]

Morgana rolled her eyes. "The problem is, the contact could go both ways. Instead of simply ordering us around, we could get in touch with him as well."

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine gave a little snicker. Just a small one. A Fun-Size snicker. "He did say Make sure Morgana comes to me with any further issues."

Oh wow, she should not have tried that impression.

[nevertobequeen.livejournal.com]

"Oh, of course he did," Morgana said, with a snicker of her own. "I can speak with him from now on if you don't want to any more. I understand that he isn't the easiest person in the world to get along with."

[thatsamilkshake]

"Arthur's not bad. I like him." And boy did it feel weird for the defensive thing to kick in here. "He's just... him. I think he just meant 'Make sure Morgana doesn't go off on her own and do stuff because she totally needs my expert advice.'"

[nevertobequeen.livejournal.com]

"I suppose he would have better advice for this venture of ours than anyone else," she allowed. Honestly, it was nice to have someone else defending Arthur after spending so much time feeling like she was one of only a few people on his side. "However, that doesn't mean we need his advice yet."

Francine turned the notebook to a new page. "We do need a day to meet, though, if we're gonna have people get together every week like the reserves do."

[nevertobequeen.livejournal.com]

"We could do it on Fridays, since Merlin and Tony seem to have decided to meet on Wednesdays instead," Morgana suggested. "I have no classes that day, so I would be completely free."

[thatsamilkshake]

"I only have TeeVee class, and that's in the morning." Francine nodded. "And it'd make sense to have ours after theirs, anyhow. That way if they come up with anything they need from us..."

[nevertobequeen.livejournal.com]

"They can come and tell us then," Morgana finished. "Goodness knows they'll probably show up anyway to make sure we're doing the whole reserve business correctly."

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine smiled. "Well, if they want to, they can. I'm not turning anybody away who wants to help. We'll just put 'em to work sorting cartoon character bandages and see how long they feel like sticking around."

[nevertobequeen.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I like that plan," Morgana said happily. "I'm certain there will be plenty of things for them to do as time goes on. Better to have them with us keeping busy than out getting into trouble." It was wishful thinking, at least.
