Fourth Floor Common Room --- Morning

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Since she didn't have classes today, Gwynn was sitting on the couch in the common room with a notebook and markers. She appeared to be making several designs of things in her notebook. Anyone who happened to look over her shoulder would see the following things scrawled in her notebook:

Introduction to 21st Century Popular Culture

...Practice asking each other on dates... ...he seems terse and cranky... needs a sign to let people know since he doesn't want people asking him out...

Also in the notebook appeared to be different versions of the sign she was talking about.

Do not ask me out for I am terse and cranky

That was her favorite one.

"Hard Knocks?"

"Something a friend of one of my foster parents used to say. Some people's lives make 'em soft. Some people's lives make 'em hard. Mine's leaned quite a bit to the latter."

Gwynn thought his foster parents must have been a bit creepy. Of course, she wasn't quite sure what a foster was, either.

"Sounds unpleasant."

"Their point was, it was better to be hard than soft." he shrugged. "Some of my foster parents weren't nearly as cynical."
