Kenzi telekinetically righted herself then proceeded to dust herself off.

The other girl's reaction gets of a raised eyebrow. "Uh huh." A slow grin spreads across her lips. "I'm going to wild stab in the dark here and assume you, accidentally or otherwise, set fire to something you shouldn't have."

"...I did not, you can't prove anything!" She crosses her arms over her chest, trying to look as defiant as she can. It probably doesn't help that through that there is a definite guilty look and, after a moment, she concedes.

"It was just a little fire. One some papers. Maybe inside."

Kenzi leaned in and sniffed Margot before leaning back, her grin widened. "Well I do smell smoked. And even if I didn't you're reaction is good enough. You should work on your poker face kid." And then there was the actual confession.

"In any case, why are you running if it was just some papers?"

At the question, Margot throws her hands in the air and wails, "Because it was my roommate's homework and she's gonna kill me! Do you know how long it took her to do that book report?! Days!"

Not that running would really do any good, but it seemed like a better idea than jumping out the window at the time.

Kenzi opened her mouth before slowly closing it again. For a few moments she was silent, chewing on her bottom lip. "Yeah, that could be a problem. When's the report due?"

Maybe her roommate had time to redo it. How hard could it be to rewrite the report? She wrote it once so it shouldn't be difficult. Also, who doesn't do their reports on the computer these days?

Old fashioned weirdos, that's who.

Margot shuffles awkwardly. "It's kinda due tomorrow."

"Wow sucks to be her. And you I guess." She laughed and took a bite from her apple. Truth was she was only laughing because she wasn't sure how else to react. She wasn't really laughing at the other girl's misfortune.

Unfortunately, Margot takes it that way and any sort of guilty look is immediately replaced by a scowl. Something in the near vicinity is dangerously close to catching fire if she doesn't calm down soon. "Yeah, well, it's gonna -- gonna suck to be you in two seconds!"

Though she doesn't have much to back that threat up, she's trying to look intimidating, puffing up to her full height (...4'9'', teeny thing).

"Whooooa whoawhoawhao! Not looking for a fight. Especially not in here."

That's okay, Kenzi is around 5'4", although her heels certainly add a few inches.

Margot calms down, but is still seething. She snorts and a couple of tiny flames shoot out of her nostrils, though she doesn't seem to notice (fire resistance, thank you).

"...Not looking for one either, sorry. Maybe they can just give her an extension or something."

Perhaps the only logical thing she has said or done all day.

Kenzi let out a breath and lowered her hands. She took another bite from her apple before nodding. "Yeah. Don't see why not. I mean accidents happen to homework all the damn time."

"Yeah, yeah... That'll be good. I can't be the only one that's done shit like that before." At least she hopes. Margot slumps, tension leaving her shoulders, and she generally feels a little bit better about the world for right now.

Maybe she won't die tonight after all.

"So, uh... yeah. Sorry I ran into you and all that. I'll be more careful next time."

She smiled and waved a hand in the air. "It's okay. And hey, good luck with the roomie."
