She yawns, stretches, and then hugs Lucy with more intent than she was doing 30 seconds ago.

"mmmormmoorninnnn..."

“Morning!” It is, in fact, still morning. She checked.

She wiggles happily. "Ahhhh, it's so nice to be something approximating well-rested..."

“Rough couple of days, huh?”

She counts off on her fingers. "Tuesday I procrastinated on some work and was up until like 3, and I went out skating Wednesday night and didn't get home till 1. Thursday nights I usually go to bed early to make up for the skating, but instead I awakened, got asked to help someone with a homework project they were in too deep on, and stayed up doing that until my phone reminded me to take my meds and go to library for a studygroup. At the study group, someone asked if someone could make a coffee run, so i did, and i spilled the coffee on the way out the door so i had to wait in line for the orders again, and then the study group was basically over and I went to class, and then I started my TA shift and this extremely cute undergrad decided I was being underutilized in the human blanket department and you know the rest from there!"

“I’m not sure I count as making decisions when I’m that backlashed!”

"I maaaay have editorialized slightly. Will the court of public opinion forgive me this transgression? Only time will tell..." She sticks out her tongue at Lucy.

Lucy sticks her tongue out back.

Cara is going to stare thoughtfully at Lucy for a bit, and then... licks her arm.

Oh really.

Well.

Is Cara ticklish.

...extremely... but why is Lucy asking....

Oh, she’s not asking with words.

Then she will have a flailing, shrieking, desperately gasping Cara in her hands in about... 5 seconds. "Aaamdlikmn Lucy, please,"

she will attempt a counterattack to this sudden escalation! Is Lucy tickleish???

Whoopsie, she may have made a tactical error, bringing tickling into this.

Cara unleashes her hands with a wicked vengeance! She wriggles on top of Lucy to pin her down for more tickling.

“Ahaha—stop, stop, I yield,” she ultimately gasps.

She stops right away, panting hard herself. Then she boops Lucy on the nose, grinning. "Defeated on your own battlefield..."

“I did say introducing tickling was a tactical mistake,” she pants.

"You did!", she agrees breathlessly, "but it was hard to hear over the sounds of your shrieking laughter~"

"Are you two okay in there?" comes Haru's voice through the door.

Lucy will have to answer that one, because Cara is going to collapse into another fit of laughter on top of her.

“There was tickling! I think we are okay to consent to that.”

"Sounds like fun, okay."

“It’s over anyway, I can dish it out but I can’t take it.”

"A flawless victory for blue team!" Cara adds, still giggling.
