Thrid Common Room, Sunday Evening

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

After a conversation with the twins that made her feel pretty horrible Matilda had retreated to her favorite escape, a very thick book. She might have been batting away a few tears with the back of her fist. She was curled up in a chair and and being very quiet. It was probable that someone might not notice her unless they actually entered the room.

((ooc: Open yay! For all you not out on the search))

"Hello!" a voice said from above Matilda. Schrodinger perched on the top of the easy chair above here.

Anyone would have sworn he wasn't there a second ago.

Matilda looked straight up at the boy and bats away a last tear. "You have cat's ears..."

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

Schrodinger nodded. "Yep! I was born with 'em."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

She wonders to herself if it's wrong that she wants to pet them. "They're very cute..." She allows herself a little smile.

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

Schrodinger tilted his head to the side. "Are they? I never really thought about them like that."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

Matilda shut her book and turn in her chair to face him better. Oh gee. Curiousity should be a disease in her case.. "Can I... touch one?" sonotdirty!

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

Schrodinger appeared to think about this for a while. Finally, he hopped down from the chair back and tilted his head towards her.

Matilda was a bit surprised that he agreed and she was really careful as she petted one of them. "They're soft. Wow.. I've never met someone with cat ears before."

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

Schrodinger shrugged. "They're the ones I was born with."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

She tactful enough to not ask the question of 'Born from WHAT?'... She smiles nicely at the kittyboy. "My name is Matida, what's yours?"

((do you mind if she connects his name to the scientist?))

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

"Schrodinger," Schrodinger replied.

_{[[Feel free. That's part of the reason he was named that. He's everywhere and nowhere.]]}

"Oh you mean like the Austrian physicist? Like.. Schrodinger's cat...?" She can't help but laugh a bit at the coincidence... or not so coincidence.

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

Schrodinger grinned. "Exactly."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"So do you have anything to do with quantum mechanics?" She's trying to make joke to be honest.

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," Schrodinger said.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

Thinking he was only playing along she merely smiled. "How long have you been here at Fandom?"

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

"I'm new," Schrodinger said. "I just got into Fandom last week."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Oh! So am I! Are you living the place so far?"

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah," Schrodinger said. "So many interesting people."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

I know! It's the coolest place I've ever been to!" She grins broadly.

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

Schrodinger grinned. "Where have you been before, then?"

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Just Nevada. Nothing special I'm afraid." She smiles with him. Wow she sure is easy to cheer up. Though his statment begs her next question. "Have you been anywhere cooler than here?"

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

"England, Argentina, Germany," Schro rattled off. "Costa Rica, Japan, Florida."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Wow! How exciting! So can you speak a lot of different languages?"

((ow. I'm really sorry. I had this line written and left the page up thinking I'd posted it... o.o))

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

Schrodinger shrugged. "English. German. A smattering of others."
