"I'm fine, thanks," said Elizabeth, smiling back. "I was back home this past week, which partially explains it, I guess. How have you been?"

"How was home?" Peter asked. "No singing and dancing, I hope?"

Elizabeth shrugged slightly. "The normal, which is comforting in a way, I suppose," she said.

"Was it?" Peter said. "I'm glad you're back."

"Me too," admitted Elizabeth. "I prefer being here, I have to admit."

"We like you here as well," Peter said with a nod.

Elizabeth smiled widely. "That's nice to hear," she said.

"Have you had a good summer then?" Peter asked.

Elizabeth nodded slowly, her smile becoming more wistful. "Yeah, although I'm looking forward to the actual start of the school year," she admitted.

"If I said I was not too surprised about that, would you be offended?" Peter replied with a grin.

Elizabeth laughed. "Not at all!" she said. "Although sometimes I wonder if I have Type A, workaholic tattooed on my forehead or something!"

Peter shook his head. "No, no, it's not a bad thing at all. I'm rather looking forward to it as well."

"Summer's nice and all, and having the workshops have helped," nodded Elizabeth. "I'm glad we've got a few more weeks to go though."

"Were you annoyed the workshops weren't graded also?" Peter asked, grinning.

"Um. Mo?" tried Elizabeth, looking innocent.

Peter worked on stifling a grin. "I'm not sure if I'm relieved or disturbed that I know more than one person like that."

Elizabeth laughed. "Who's the other person?" she asked. "And there might be more of us. You never know," she said, winking.

"I wouldn't be surprised if there were," Peter replied, chuckling. "But the other person I'm aware of is Willow. She was rather distraught."

Elizabeth nodded, grinning. "Poor girl," she said. "I got over it pretty quickly and tried to take things less seriously. It's mostly working? I think?"

"Except that you're looking forward to real classes and grades," Peter said. "How very different is regular Fandom from this summer?"

"The library's open every day," Elizabeth replied, grinning. "Uh, we're not restricted to four classes and you can end up in more than two lessons a day. There's not the Friday afternoon events either, which is sort of a shame really. Um. There's still chaos, but it was a lot more concentrated in the dorms really. And the weather gets worse, but that's Virginia and not Fandom!"

"More classes would be interesting," Peter replied, deciding not to mention that he'd not yet been to the library and really had only the vaguest idea where it was. "Perhaps we could hold Friday afternoon - or evening events? Keep the tradition going? They have been fun."

Elizabeth nodded. "Also ones which are vaguely normal. Like, I took foreign lit last semester which was good. It's a pity that that teacher's gone now," she said. "That's a good idea. Maybe it can br brought to StuCo when that's reformed. That's another thing that happens during term time."

"I have to admit I've not been to a 'normal class' for about four years now, but I've rather enjoyed the workshops," Peter said. He nodded. "And I've heard about that. Parker tells me I should run."

"You should," said Elizabeth, nodding seriously. "I'm planning to, and I definitely think you'd be an asset to the council."
