XU Games - Tonight, The Foxes Hunt The Hounds

[Theresa McMasters]

It hadn't taken Theresa long to hit her dorm room and change. Now she poked around the grounds, looking for Murphy. It was an assumption that Murphy would avoid the crowds, but Theresa felt safe in that assumption.

[Hannah Murphy]

She would find Murphy sitting on the grounds, relaxing after the game. She smiles at Theresa.

"Hey."

[Theresa McMasters]

"Hey, there. Doing okay?" Theresa moved over to sit down beside her.

[Hannah Murphy]

"I'm good," Murphy says. "You?"

[Theresa McMasters]

"A little bummed about losing, but Haley worked really hard for the win, so it's all good. I saw some of the highlights. You did a good job."

[Hannah Murphy]

Murphy smiles, "Thanks."

"Could've done better. Lost."

[Theresa McMasters]

"There'll be other chances." She thought for a moment and then reached for Murphy's hand. "So do you have a first name or are you just Murphy?"

[Hannah Murphy]

Murphy smiles, wrapping her fingers around Theresa's, "Hannah."

[Theresa McMasters]

"I like it. It's pretty. But the real question is what you prefer to be called."

[Hannah Murphy]

"Prefer Murphy," Murphy admits. "Only get called 'Hannah' when I'm in trouble."

[Theresa McMasters]

"Murphy it is then." She squeezed Murphy's hand. "They've got food in the gym. Some other folks are in their celebrating."

[Hannah Murphy]

"Sounds fun," Murphy says.

[Theresa McMasters]

"Probably will be. Want to go?"

[Hannah Murphy]

"Sure," Murphy says. She leans against Theresa a little.

"Thanks."

[Theresa McMasters]

"What for?" She leaned back against Murphy.

[Hannah Murphy]

"Coming out here," Murphy says.

[Theresa McMasters]

"Couldn't have too much fun without you," she said, turning to give the taller girl a kiss on the temple.

[Hannah Murphy]

Murphy grins, blushing a bit. She looks happy.

"Still," Murphy says. "Thank you."

She turns and shyly kisses the top of Theresa's forehead.

"Means a lot."

[Theresa McMasters]

Theresa grinned. "You're welcome." She stood, taking Murphy's hand with her. "Ready to go get some food?"

[Hannah Murphy]

Murphy stands up with her, "Sure."

"Lead the way."
