Room 322, Tuesday Evening

[not_every_mage]

Anders was a man inspired tonight. Bob's class had put him in mind of the perfect words for his manifesto, the exact right way to explain the wrongs mages had suffered, and he needed to get them on paper before he lost track of them again. He sat on his bed with a dictionary and thesaurus close at hand, scribbling busily away.

"You could just assume that I'm not unless I show up to prove otherwise?" Kathy suggested. "You look exhausted. Can I get you anything before I go? Water, something to eat, aspirin...?"

Normally she wouldn't just bail after someone had done her a huge favor, but Anders looked more like he'd appreciate a chance to rest than he would her delightful conversation.

Anders opened his eyes and smiled, if a bit wanly. He wouldn't mind if Kathy stayed.

"I'll be fine. It's my own fault, anyhow," he said. "I haven't been practicing, and that was a lot of healing to do cold. You managed to mess yourself up properly."

Kathy couldn't even argue that. Burns were one of the harder injuries for the body to heal, it made sense if that was the same for magical healing.

"How do you practice?" she asked. "Is that something you can even do without having dumb friends come knocking at your door?" She shifted position slightly, hand coming up to rub lightly at his temples if he liked. She wasn't sure if he had a headache, but it certainly seemed like he should.

"On myself, mostly," Anders clarified. "Shaving cuts. Blisters. All the stupid way people who aren't brilliant gymnasts hurt themselves --- it keeps me on the mark, even if it's not as much help as when my dumb friends come bother me."

"You think I don't get shaving cuts and blisters?" Kathy asked with a small laugh. "It takes more than magic dexterity to make shaving less of a pain in the ass."

She playfully went to tap her fingers against his cheek. "Is that why you tend towards scruffy?"

[not_every_mage]

"No, that would be because I'm lazy," Anders laughed. "But maybe I should shave more and give myself more little cuts to work with."

"Laaaaaazy," Kathy chided, as if he hadn't just exhausted himself healing her. "Why are all the guys I'm close to so laaaaazy?"

[not_every_mage]

"We make you feel better about yourself," Anders said,with a light smile. "You stand out more next to us."

[spin_kick_snap]

"That sounds legit," Kathy said, stretching out next to him. She'd get up and go in a minute, she promised. But she was comfy and it was Anders. She liked spending time with him. Went with best friend territory. "How kind of you to go to literally no trouble to make me look good."
