Monday Late Afternoon - Evening - Fifth Floor Common Room

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Following his and Isabel's plans made yesterday, Peter had stopped by J,GOB after Interstellar Relations to pick up a metric ton of coffee, doughnuts, bagels, and assorted other pastries. 

Getting them back to the Common Room was easy, but trying to corral all the books in the Common Room into a cabinet so they wouldn't knock over the coffee was much more difficult.

However he managed to do so and thus there was a table set up with coffee, tea, doughnuts, and pastries.  A sign said "Happy Studying and Good Luck on your Finals from Student Council."  There was an addendum added in pen "Watch out for books!"

Peter was drinking tea and studying his Hunting notes nearby.

"Just the one so far though I've no idea how I did because it's not up yet," Peter said. "I'm just trying to remember the Latin for Hunting right now."

"Can't help you with that," Molly said with a grin. "Canine, feline or several bird languages, I could do, but not Latin."

"It's so much easier in Narnia where the animals just talk in English," Peter replied, laughing.

"The animals there talk in English?! That is so cool!" Molly said.

Peter grinned. "Yes indeed. They're generally smarter than humans too."

Molly had a disconcerting thought. "Doesn't that make hunting kind of... uncomfortable? I don't think I could eat something that I might have talked to."

"Oh, no, we don't hunt talking animals," Peter said quickly. "Well, we do, but not for meat. Just like a game with no killing at the end."

"Ahhhhh," Molly said and was quiet for a moment. "Are you all vegetarians then? Or are there some animals that don't talk?"

"Not all animals talk," Peter explained. "And those that do don't mind that we eat those that don't." He thought for a second. "Though it seems odd, I suppose, thinking about it."

"Well, the meat eaters who talk must eat animals that don't talk so it would be hypocritical of them to complain," Molly said thoughtfully. "And the talking ones who don't eat meat are probably just glad that you're not eating them," she finished with a grin.

Peter chuckled. "Perhaps that's the way of it."
