Looks like everyone is headed back to bed - same pairings as yesterday

They were all rather quiet as they ate their dinner, with the living fire making the darkness much cozier, and even the rain seemed to have stopped beating on the roof for the time being. The only thing they could think of talking about was whether they should sit up and wait for the electricity to come back, or simply go to bed earlier than usual. Not even Heather seemed to think it was a good idea to keep playing cards, although Ashley put on a slight pout as she realized none else even suggested it.

"Well, we could just go to bed..." Zack argued, as he was actually feeling really tired after all that happened during the day. While there hadn't been much physical things going on, the emotional parts were definitively tiring enough to him. "Hopefully it's stopped raining tomorrow, and then I could go shopping early and be back before lunch."

"Yeah, I'm with you on that." Heather nodded her agreement, which surprised them all considering how she was usually the one to keep partying until late. She proved that she was still herself though, with the naughty little smile that crossed her lips as she looked around the room. "So, do we need to reorganize who's sleeping with who tonight...?"

"I'm fine as I am, thank you very much!" Laughed Brandon - while stroking his girlfriend's still naked buttocks -, although his laughter seemed somewhat **** to those who'd seen him with Heather down in the cellar, and he was definitively uncomfortable about the whole deal. If Ashley noticed she didn't let it show on her face though, but instead had something greedy in her eyes as she glanced towards Vicky.

"I dunno if I can sleep in this darkness..." The other blonde had just been saying, and now she blushed as she realized her complaints were interpreted in a completely different way than she intended. Or perhaps it really was how she'd meant it, although she was much to shy to say it out loud.

"Dibs on sleeping in Vicky's room then!" Said Heather - with the kind of smile that caused the sweet blonde to blush even deeper -, and then winked teasingly at Ashley, who responded with a rather vexed glare and a pout on her soft lips. To anyone else but the two of them it would seem like some internal joke, but was actually just a little bit more than that as Ashley had gladly spent the entire night with Victoria. With some luck she might even have been able to talk Brandon into sharing the other girl between them, but now it seemed like Heather had decided to act the protector that Ashley herself had recently failed to be...

Heather herself was a bit split on the subject however, as she'd actually looked forwards to finally having some long chat with that favorite author of her's, but figured it could wait for another day. Gavin could manage just fine on his own for some time longer, and considering the look on his face as she declared she'd be staying in Vicky's room, he was already coming up with more material for his story rather than going to miss her company for yet another night.

Thus they all got ready for bed, with Ash and Brandon heading back to their own room, and Vicky and Heather taking the other one in the same hallway. Only Gavin remained in his couch to type away at his phone again, and barely even looked up as Chloe and Zack headed back to their room as well...
