Third Floor Common Room - Sunday Morning

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris had spent most of Saturday sleeping off the effects of the shadow attacks. So he was awake early today and decided to go and hang out in the common room.

He wasn't about to try to cook, but he did root through the cupboards and pull out a variety of cereal boxes, as well as getting bowls and spoons down and making sure the milk and juice were in the front of the fridge.

After fixing himself a bowl of cereal, he sat down in front of the TV and started flipping through channels to see if there was anything interesting on.



[ETA: getting dragged AFK for a bit; will pick up tags when I'm back! Err, forgot to say I'm back now :)]

Neil chuckled good naturedly and added even more bacon to the skillet.

"Do you want some oatmeal? Not the instant stuff, the real stuff with maple syrup?"

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Nah, I think I'd rather have some of that bacon," Chris admitted. "Though the oatmeal does sound good."

Grabbing down the oatmeal canister, Neil gave it a little shake and then peeked inside.

"I...need to get more but there's enough in here for a couple of servings." He decided, then gave Chris a quick smile.

"It's not an either or case, you know?"

Chris studied his empty cereal bowl. "Oh, what the hell. I could barely eat for two days. I have time to make up for."

"That's the spirit." Neil encouraged and turned back to the cooking he was doing.

In fairly short order, he had a plate of fresh fried bacon, a bowl of oatmeal and some toast pulled together and was handing it to Chris.

"Here you go."

"This is awesome, thanks," Chris said, digging in. "So how've you been?"

Grabbing up his own serving, Neil grabbed a chair and flopped down into it.

"Welcome." He said with a grin, sipping at his coffee. "I've been pretty good. Got talked in to joining the dance club...though it didn't really take much convincing."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Dance club?" Chris repeated. "I didn't know we had one of those."

Pausing for a moment to swallow the strip of bacon he'd just inhaled, Neil chased it down with some coffee and then said.

"We don't, yet...officially. River was talking to me about it, yesterday. She said that she and Pippi had talked to a professor about being the sponser and they were going to set it up and River wanted me to join."

"That's cool," Chris said. "I wonder if we'll have a baseball team."

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

"Well...we've already got cheerleaders." Neil said pensively before spooning up some oatmeal.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris chuckled. "Baseball doesn't usually have cheerleaders," he pointed out.

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

"Schools don't usually have gremlins for mascots either." Neil returned.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Point," Chris grinned.

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

Neil grinned, then looked down at his plate.

"Well, I'd better get back to studying. Good seeing you, Chris."

Standing up, he moved towards the hall to head back to his room.

"See ya later!" Chris called. "Thanks again."
