[ Misty stares at him, jaw dropping and then looking away because he's not exactly dressed. ]

I am... so embarrassed. And sorry. Oh my god.

[ She's both mortified and trying not to laugh because wow. ]

[endlesswar]

[At least his pants are up. Mostly. Shirt is slung over his shoulder.]

Sorry.

[AHEM. Give him a second to zip up.]

Frank. Nice to meet you.

[paged]

[ Misty covers her face with both hands for a minute before laughing. Hands go down to her hips and she shakes her head. Karen is gonna get some stern words in the morning. Or maybe just a ton of teasing. Yeah, that sounds more fun. ]

Misty. Wanna put your shirt on, Frank?

[ A beat, smirking at him. ]

Want some water?

[endlesswar]

[Running would be easy. Staying and taking his hits and perhaps, just perhaps getting in good with the roommates is worth the risk. After all, Karen's going to have to deal with it. Only fair he gets his share.]

Yes, ma'am.

[Gives him something to do.]

Please.

[He follows her into the kitchen. Noting where the sink is he first washes his hands. See? Gentleman.]

[paged]

[ She appreciates him washing his hands before handling the bottle she gives him, at least. Even if it's a plastic one he can take with him, it shows he's being considerate. More than most guys. ]

So, Frank... Did you two have fun tonight? Aside from your... latter activities?

[endlesswar]

[It's the polite and decent thing to do! He tips his head gratefully and unscrews the cap of the water bottle.]

Yes. We had a discussion about feminism and literature over pasta.

[A hearty gulp before he continues.]

I didn't mean for it to get so late or break any house rules for you ladies.

[paged]

[ Misty can't help but grin at that first part, shaking her head. ]

You must've passed that conversation with flying colors to be invited back here.

[ Sorry, Karen. They how high your standards are. She waves off the rest, ]

It's fine. I'm just giving you a hard time just 'cuz I can. I'm sure I've done the same thing to her more than a few times.

[endlesswar]

[He'll take this at face value. Misty is her roommate and knows Karen better than he does. Hard to dampen the smile of satisfactory spreading over his face.]

Just being myself, ma'am.... Misty. Sorry. Kinda trying to get more in the habit. Manners are a big thing in the Corps.

[paged]

[ Her brows go up at that, genuinely surprised, ]

The Corps? You lookin' to be a Marine?

[endlesswar]

[Pausing half way to another drink he returns her incredulous look.]

...Yes.

[paged]

[ She snorts, ]

And here I thought you were a struggling music major.

[endlesswar]

Nope. Just a hobby.

[Complete with a cheesy smile.]

Thank you for the water. I won't keep you. School night, right?

[paged]

[ She nods, crossing her arms but still smiling, ]

Same for you.

[ She walks over to the door and opens it for him. ]

Maybe I'll see you around.

[endlesswar]

Maybe.

[One more long sip of water.]

Thanks again. Great to meet you.

[He can see himself out. And he gives her a little wave before quietly walking out into the night.]
