First Floor Rec Room, Wednesday Morning

[whenshewasnice]

It was bright and early (for a winter break morning, anyway) and Natalie was back from Montreal. It was, in fact, so bright and early that she didn't want to go up to her room quite yet, on the off chance that Tara wasn't awake yet.

She ended up in the rec room on the first floor of the dorms. And once there, she ended up by the piano without even really thinking about it. She'd never been in this room before, hadn't known they had an actual piano in the dorms. Not that it would have mattered much, she was fairly private about her playing.

But, she was having a rare okay day. She let her bag flop to the floor by the instrument and took a seat, then played a tentative little melody.

Out on the School Grounds Near the Dorms, Wednesday Evening

[batwaffles.livejournal.com]

Even a few days in Gotham City was long enough for Stephanie to notice how quiet Fandom was by comparison. She didn't mind; it wasn't a bad kind of quiet, just a little jarring at first.

She had a slight frown on her face as she made her way back up to the school from the causeway, weekend bag slung over her shoulder. Holiday weekend or not, Batman hadn't taken it easy on her in training.

Guess the big guy doesn't believe in long holiday weekends. Or holiday cheer.

. . . Batman had been, shall we say, generous with the constructive criticism, emphasis ironic.

Lots of working out, sure, and Stephanie was still a little stiff from that, but she'd spent a lot of time working on observational skills and mnemonic techniques. Her head was full, and she was mulling over all kinds of detectivey things.

And in no hurry to get inside, either; you just didn't see stars like this in Gotham.
