glacial_queenKarla was pretty sure that last year, she'd still been kind of shell-shocked by the island and panicking over having Uncle Saetan here to really notice just how emotional the whole island was. This time, having both another full year to get used to the island and only Morton for company, Karla was well-aware of all the different emotions battering at her shields. Love and joy and friendship, of course, but also fear and anger, guilt and pain.
Darkness only knew that if she was feeling the effects, what it was like for Ben and Raven. She wondered if they'd mind her showing up at their rooms with wine and ice cream. Because, well, damn.
She was just going to take a few more minutes to meditate and raise her inner barriers a bit higher before heading down to brunch. It would be just awful to be around all that food and have her stomach tied up in knots.
[Open!]

it wouldn't be UST without a little antagonism,Karla really liked her roommate. And it got a little lonely in their room when Gabrielle was off for weeks at a time in Greece, having wonderful adventures with her warrior companion."But yes, I am. You're Xena?"
She lived up to Gabrielle's

Date: 2010-10-03 08:03 pm (UTC)Xena wasn't a whimsical woman, and she said it straight on. It didn't help anyone drenching someone else in her own regrets.
She turned around to face Karla. "She's having it good, here?" Not that she missed anyone.
no subject
Date: 2010-10-03 08:08 pm (UTC)Which, was kind of a danger to everyone else, but great for Gabrielle.
"We're friends," she added softly. "Good friends. I miss her when she's gone."
no subject
Date: 2010-10-03 08:13 pm (UTC)Not that there was any UST here, or anything like it. Xena set her jaw, just a bit, but that was all.
"So what's an espresso bean? Can you boil that and eat it?"
no subject
Date: 2010-10-03 08:25 pm (UTC)Xena, please note that Karla said she was good at being a witch, not a cook.
"But you can also get them covered in chocolate and just eat them as a snack. That's what Gabrielle and I do." Because the world needed a caffeinated Gabrielle. Absolutely.

Date: 2010-10-04 04:57 am (UTC)Xena... did not get near a stove often. "Right," she said, because the existence coffee wasn't high on her list of factoids. "So you've been spending a lot of time together. Eating beans. Any trouble?"
no subject
Date: 2010-10-04 05:25 pm (UTC)Because that was a satisfactory answer, oh yes.
no subject
Date: 2010-10-04 05:30 pm (UTC)"I find that hard to believe."

Date: 2010-10-04 06:36 pm (UTC)Okay, even Karla could admit that was lame. But it's not like she could deny that they got into trouble sometimes. And wasn't it enough to know that they never got in over their heads.
Well, together, anyway. Karla was pretty good at getting in over her head by herself.

Date: 2010-10-04 05:22 pm (UTC)"Why would I lick a frog?"
no subject
Date: 2010-10-04 05:27 pm (UTC)Because they're deeleeshius"You said they're psychedelic. I've heard of frogs that if you lick them it makes you hallucinate."

Date: 2010-10-04 06:42 pm (UTC)Wolfboy and the others did not know the details of what had happened to her. She had told them only that Crystaviel had made another attempt to get her, and about the amulet that turned her into a child. But not how the fight had ended.
