Third Floor Common Room - Monday Late Afternoon

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

It had been a busy day of classes and Neil was still a bit unsettled from the subject matter of Ethics. While some of the rumors started and flung around had been funny, it was also a stark reminder of the power of words and perception.

Dropping off his books in his room, Neil sifted out the ones he needed for Traditional Fairy Tales and then he decided to head back to the common room for a bit. He'd seen enough of the inside of his dorm room this past weekend and felt a change of scenary and the chance to observe some of the post AU weekend awkwardness might be a nice change of pace.

The TV didn't really interest him, so he flipped on a radio and made some popcorn. As microwaves were still a bit of an oddity for him, he made the popcorn the old fashion way, on the stove with oil, salt and fresh butter and he probably made way too much. Shrugging, he dumped it all together into a large bowl, which he placed on the table near the couch he flopped upon. Opening his books and perching his reading glasses on his nose, Neil put his feet up on the opposite cushion and set about doing some extra credit.

[Open, as common rooms tend to be.]

"You changed too?" Alec grinned. "Sounds like most of the school did."

"I was some spoiled girl who had gotten married at 13," Angela said. "Very, very melodramatic. You got to stay yourself?"
