Second Floor Common Room; Early Wednesday Evening.

Turtle felt as though her day had been very successful. She'd scoped out the town, gotten herself a job (starting tomorrow! How exciting!), and had picked up a total of two dollars and seventy two cents in change as she walked around the island. A very good day, indeed, especially since, she could tell from her handwavily grabbed copy of the Wall Street Journal that SEA hadn't continued to drop, and the one she was scoping had raised, but not enough that it wouldn't be enough for her SEA to fail to cover it in a few days. Looking pretty good!

Grabbing a bowl of cereal for her dinner, Turtle plopped out the couch, tucked her Journal beside her, and turned on the television. Now that she didn't have her mother restricting her TV time, she definately wanted to see what kind of channels they got here at the school.

"I'll buy that," Alec said, shrugging. "Kind of makes me glad I don't have to worry about that."

"Okay, I'm gonna take that to either mean your mother is a certified member of MENSA, or you haven't got one. If it's the second one, I'm either really sorry, or kind of envious."

"I think there was a female surrogate at some point, but no mother I ever knew," Alec shrugged, smiling. "So no need to be sorry. Like I said - sounds like more of a pain than anything."

"In my case? Yes. But not everyone's had my misfortune. A nice mother would have been nice..."

"Maybe," Alec said. "But now you can surround yourself with people you get along with and like."
