The Roof - Tuesday late morning

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

Neil was getting somewhat tired of the walls of his dorm room and after composing and then destroying another letter to Todd, he decided to go up on the roof and get a bit of air.

Hopefully he would be forgiven for not smoking...did it help that he had a new book of Bardspeare in his lap?

[ooc: Can't get much more open than a roof I suppose.]

Doors were difficult for birds to manage, and no one really kept their windows open in winter so after a few failed attempts to get back inside, Setsuna flew up to the room and found a place to perch and rest for a bit.

Neil had yet to really experience Fandom's habit of having students who turned into animals so he made note of the bird but otherwise continued to quietly read.

Setsuna cocked her little bird head a moment at Neil before hopping over to see what he was reading, without trying to seem too rude because it wasn't like she could just ask.

Well, she could. But she wasn't sure if Neil would understand her, and she so hated the sound of her crow squawking.

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

Well...huh. That wasn't something he'd expected and he eyed the bird askance for a minute before tilting the book a bit so it could get a better look?

Blinking her little red eyes, Setsuna hopped a little closer to look better.

After her shower, and after spending time in her room getting psyched up for cooking lunch (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1248272.html?view=73299728#t73299728) for the entire student body, Annette bundled up and went up to the roof. No emo'ing, just basking in the fresh cold air.

'Course, emo'ing might come into play on account of omg!cooking!

She was pleasantly surprised to see Neil, so she let go of the mental image of her burning up the kitchen, and approached him slowly so as not to totally take him off guard. "Morning, Neil."

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

Neil's head came up quickly from where he'd been engrossed in his reading and he gave Annette a friendly smile.

"Good morning, Annette."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She indicated his book with a gentle nod of her head, "Am I interrupting your reading?"

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

"Hmm? Oh, no." He said, marking his place and politely closing the book.

"How are you doing?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She smiled, "I am doing pretty good. How about yourself? Oh, and I saw you the other evening at the dance. Did you have a good time?"

Either the albino crow nodded a greeting to Annette, or Annette was going crazy.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette stared at the bird. And she blinked and narrowed her eyes at it. Then slowly she nodded a greeting back. You know, just in case it was Marco or something.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

The head tilted at the narrowed eyes. Maybe Annette didn't like birds? If a bird could look minutely hurt and dejected, the little crow looked just that, with a helping of confused, but Setsuna tried not to worry about it too much.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Uh-oh. Annette hurt the bird's feelings. She...somehow knew that. It looked like it had hurt feelings.

Smiling a little, she edged closer to the bird and said softly, "Hello."

After putting up the posters, Ami wanted some fresh air. Since she started on the first floor and made her way up, the roof was closest.

"Hi Neil" she greeted, as she noticed him.

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

"Morning, Ami." Neil said, looking up politely from his book.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Isn't it a lovely day?" Warmer." She smiled and spun around. "And tomorrow, there is space."

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

"Space?" Neil asked a wee bit dubiously.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Yes!" Ami stopped spinning and sat down. "A teacher is taking anyone who wants to see the Solar System." It was then that she noticed the white crow (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/1007187.html?thread=83113299#t83113299)

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna's wings fluttered a little in either a flail or excitement (she wasn't quite sure herself which it was) when she spotted Ami.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami suddenly noticed the white crow. Crows were not supposed to be white. "Um." she said, oh so eloquently, looking a bit scared.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Ack! That's right! Ami would have no way of knowing it was her and, well....Setsuna didn't have a complex about her ablinism for nothing. Unable to hold herself back, the wings flailed a little some more as Setsuna worriedly tried to think of a way to make Ami-chan know it was just her!

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Seeing Ami, Annette waved. "Hey Ami!"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Hi Annette! How are you?" Ami waved back.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Doing pretty good, thanks. And how are you?"
