Fourth Floor Common Room, Saturday Afternoon

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry couldn't stand another minute alone in his room. Edward's voice was letting out a constant stream of abuse, and it was taking all of Henry's self-control not to just give in and let Edward lumber around the place. He went to the common room to work on some homework, hoping for a distraction.

"I haven't even seen my 'little brother' since the first day," Mac said, also doing the quotey fingers. "I'm obviously not doing my job very well. Should've probably make the effort to search him out again, just everything's been a bit crazy lately."

"Who's your little sibling?" Henry asked.

"Um, Steedlice," Mac replied. "He's a little odd," she added after a second. "Seems nice enough, though."

Hmmm. Why did that name sound familiar? "Do you mean streethike?" Henry asked. "I think I may have met him."

"... Yeah, Seartike, that's him," Mac said after a second of thought. "Did he seem sane to you?"

Henry really didn't like speaking ill of others, but... "Perhaps a trifle surly," he answered, "but not insane."

"Hm." Mac shrugged, "Sanity is highly underrated around here. There tends to be far too little of it around."

"Indeed." Henry replied. "I've never been anyplace like it." Henry had been to London and Paris, thousands of feet above the ground in an airship, and miles deep undersea. To say that Fandom was odd was really saying something.

"Neither have I," Mac said. Not that Neptune wasn't strange, it just wasn't really in quite the same league. "Neither have I."
