4th Floor Common Room, After Classes

It's been a while since Isabel felt like cooking for the masses, but the first day of school seems like reason enough. After Interstellar Relations, she made a quick handwaved trip to town to pick up supplies. Now the music is playing and she's making chicken parm and pasta for whoever wants it.

[Free food! Do I have to say it? Open!!!! Now in the right spot.]

Teddy laughed. "You know that we lead charmed lives when we have to actively worry about being betrothed."

"Who are you dating?"

"Trust me, that's one thing I could have lived with out," Isabel said. "I'm dating Greg Sanders, he's another junior. He lives down on the third floor but you'll see him around, he comes up to visit a lot."

He shook his head, unable to place the name. "I haven't met him yet, but then again, I haven't met a lot of people here."

"We should start a self help group for aliens, warning them about the dangers of arranged marriages and galactic empires," Teddy said.

"Trust me, there are people that came in at the beginning of the summer that I still haven't met." Isabel shrugged, "You'll meet him and everyone else eventually. It seems like everyone passes through a common room at one point or another."

"Michael was my brother's second in command. So I think our betrothal was less about empire building and more about rewarding loyalty or something. Which really annoys me when I think about it."

Teddy made a face at the thought of Isabel's betrothal.

"Ugh, I hope they don't do things like that at home."

"Read up in Special Collections and find out. If we have to, there's plenty of places to hide you on the island."

Teddy smiled warmly. "I might just take you up on that offer if looking through the library ends badly."

"Sounds like a plan then," Isabel smiled. "But now I'd better get back to getting more food prepared for my husband who will be home shortly the hungry hordes. It was nice meeting you."

"Nice meeting you too."
