| Gwen, and some good news |
[27 Oct 2004|01:24am] |
Dawn was stretched out on the couch, listening to something from Dynamite Hack blaring from her laptop on the floor, which happened to be littered with various tomes and such. She glanced briefly to make sure her latest research project was still downloading, then curled up, tempted to nap. Even after mostly, she was still tired a good part of the day...
Just then, a LOUD, rapid knock was heard at the door. "YO! DAWN! LEMME IN!"
Dawn jumped and quickly sat up, wide-eyed. That certainly startled her out of her reverie, not to mention that was a rather urgent tone. Darting to the door, she opened it and stepped aside for Gwen. "Come in, are you alright?" Frowning concernedly as she wondered what this was about.
Gwen darted in like a bat out of hell, a HUGE grin tugging at the sides of her mouth. She grabbed Dawn, pulling her into a tight hug, kinda forgetting her strength for a moment.
Dawn was about to add on an explaination for the warding spell Gwen saw last night, though Gwen's hug pretty much took the air out of her hugs. Surprised at that as much as the complete change of mood from last night, Dawn nevertheless gathered her wits enough to hug back.
Gwen took a step back, now dressed in camo cut-offs, fishnets, her usual combat boots, and a sleeveless Shadows Fall tee. "Dude! I did it! I talked to Lexi!"
Dawn grinned at that, stepping back to allow Gwen further inside, kicking the door closed. "And...? Do tell!" Though by Gwen's look, that had to have ended well enough.
"It was the SCARIEST thing I've ever done, yo!" Gwen literally HOPPED onto the couch, plopping down like a little kid. "I laid it all out, told her how I felt, and well... she was scared as shit, but she agreed we have something special, and need to give it a chance!" A beaming smile was on Gwen's face now, her eyes lit up like stars on a summer night. "I had to tell you and Connor first!"
Immediately joining Gwen on the couch, she didn't even bother to move the mess aside. Gwen and her announcement so deserved her attention than musty books did. "That's awesome, Gwen! Wow, I'm so happy for you! Fortune favors the bold, eh?" Grinning, Dawn had to give her another hug for that.
"Hell yes!" Gwen nodded, her dirty-blonde hair falling into her face momentarily before she reached up and brushed it aside. "I feel like for the first time in a week, I might actually sleep tonight! I came straight here after we got done talking. Well, after a stop home to change."
"Glad you did, I was worried about you. Connor too, though he's not actually in at the moment. I'll be sure to tell him though, unless it'd kill you not to say it first." Dawn smiled, leaning into the side of the couch though more awake than she thought she was capable of, thanks to Gwen.
"Naw, you can TOTALLY tell him. I kinda need to go anyway... before Mich thinks I died or something. I guess I gotta go back sometime, right?" Gwen shrugged, looking around.
Dawn nodded, a little disappointed though she expected as much and really should be getting back to her work anyway. "True enough, though you can always come back here. You won't need to worry about barriers since we already invited you, so feel free to barge in any time." And she meant that by her look, not one to make insincere offers.
"I promise, I'll stop by tomorrow. We definitely need to BS more, ya know?" Gwen gave a cute smirk, hopping up with catlike grace.
