Ariane was glad that the labs had been cleared, but the dorms still wasn't. This meant that they still had to sleep together, in the same room - with numerous smelly hunters, noisy snorers, people who end up yelling in their sleep... Among others. Due to the terrible sleeping conditions, few hours after somehow falling asleep, she was up again.
And she wasn't in a good mood.
Making her way to the canteen, she grabbed herself a cup of tea, a packet of MRE crackers, and sat down on at a table... Where she promptly laid her head down, and proceeded to take a nap. Although the canteen was also a little noisy, it was somewhat tolerable.

Jude was ... sleeping alright amongst the seas of others that slept nearby though he really preferred his own space. One where he didn't have to sit and stare at other people's 'wake up face' in the cot next to him or be reminded of how alone he was. That sort of thing. There was a charm in sleeping in one's own room without witnessing the sleeping habits of another person.
When he sat down he sat down next to a snoozing Ariane and just kind of stared at her with a raised eyebrow, "Tough night groping everyone's a**?" he asked dryly.

"From where I was sleeping... The room was alive with the sound of snore-farts," She muttered, sounding as groggy as she looked. She yawned, and then turned her head to look at Jude, although she still had her head on the arm currently laying on the table, "I wished it was due to having to grope everyone's a**, but sadly, it was not."
A groan, and she pushed herself off the table, sitting up before yawning again, "I want my room back," A sip of the tea, a bite of the cracker, "Now."

"The only way we're currently getting that back is if we storm the dorms and fight like a bunch of maniacs," he said with a quiet but thoughtful sigh. He peered over at Ariane noting how tired she looked, "I think I am gonna try clearing out the dorms again soon. Every little bit helps, right?"
His shoulders gave a shrug as he sat there quietly his brow furrowing a little bit, "You feelin' alright other than being tired?"

"Ugh... I look forward to getting the main building cleared more than the dorms, so we can get the portals out of the island back online... We still have a competition, you know. Can't spend our pay on lovely things till we fix those portals, can't compete till we get the town back," She sighed, biting down on the cracker like it was her mortal enemy before... Did her expression soften ever so subtly at Jude's words of concern? Maybe, but she was quick to cover it up with a grin, "Right as acid rain, Judy."
A long, rather awkward pause followed as she picked up her mug to drink from it.
"Thanks," She muttered into the mug, and took another sip of the tea.

"Mmm, I am sure we could compete around here, too if you're really that antsy over seeing the results of that, but sure the Main building would be pretty important to clear out as well." He folded his arms on top of the table for now.
Did he catch a look on her face? Wait. No. That was her usual grin. Nevermind.
Blinking a bit he tilted his head, "Thanks for what?"

"I would rather secure my prize first," She continued to grin, although it faltered at the question; she debated with herself on whether she should answer or not, before speaking, "For asking."
And then, as if feeling touched is some sort of a crime, she finished up her cracker, and was quick to change the topic, "Want to go clear up a few places today?"

"..Did we even discuss what the prizes would be?" Did he suddenly feel worried? Yes. With Ariane it could be anything and everything. He wouldn't doubt it one bit if it was something 'absurd'.
Then she answered his question. Most might have teased her about it or perhaps even make a big deal of it but Jude instead blushed a little and stared down at his folded arms, "No problem. I mean....Um.."
Topic change!
"Sure, we can do that if you're not feeling too tired," he said with a bit of a smile as he fought the light blush down from his face.

"We agreed on 'anything goes as long as it's within budget'," Her grin widened as she put an arm around Jude, ignoring his blush since he was blushing for all the wrong reasons, "It will be glorious. Fantastic."
She laughed, "Too tired? Me? Nope!" She removed her arm from around his shoulder, and got off her seat to stretch, doing a quick stretch by bending over to touch her toes, "I feel better already~ You should do this too. This one stretch will stretch most of the muscles in your body..."

"That's true," he muttered as she threw an arm around him. At this point he no longer froze up when she touched him and in fact this time he even leaned on her a little bit. Just a tiny bit.
When she removed her arm from around him he ignored the hint of disappointment he got from it and moved to stand up raising an eyebrow as she performed a stretch, "Yeah?"
On one hand he believed her because he did stretches when he was on the fencing team in high school on the other hand he felt a tiny bit of suspicion. It probably has to do with her record of smacking him on the rear end. Still he decided to trust her and he leaned forward to perform the stretch.

She wasn't lying; doing the 'touch your toes' stretch really does wonders for the body where warming up before vigorous exercise - such as going crazy killing creatures - was concerned, but as she stood up and spotted Jude's behind... Well, she couldn't help it. Her hand had a mind of its own, really. It wasn't her fault that he had a perfectly gropeable butt.
So she whacked it.

The betrayal was set in motion as Ariane's hand met with his a**, he let out a startled sound as his body jerked a bit forward and hands went to defensively cover his rear end. His brown eyes glanced back at her as if to question 'How could you!?'
..And then the look of betrayal was gone because he suddenly remembered that she was Ariane and that was part of her 'thing' it seemed.
"...Let's go," he mumbled softly and started to walk out of the Canteen.

She paused... And then burst out laughing.
Alright, his butt was nice and all, but his reaction? Oh, his reaction was priceless. They would have to get it on tape one day, so she would be able to look at it whenever she felt in need of entertainment. She grabbed her cup, finished up the tea, and followed after Jude, still laughing away. Eventually, she managed to control her laughter, and caught up to the hunter, "So, where to, Judy?"

She laughed at him and it was to be expected right along with her hand on his a**. He just stayed quiet for the time being as his arms crossed over his chest while they walked, "I dunno. I'd rather have my room back first so I can rest properly to kick your a**. So...I am thinking dorms."
That's right Ariane. He's gonna kick your a**.

"Are you brooding?" She asked, and then started to laugh, unable to control herself, "Why kick asses when you can do many other things to it?" She wriggled her eyebrows before the laughter started all over again.
