Fourth Floor Common Room [late evening]

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

Aravis could, once again, not sleep. So tonight she was curled up on the couch (where she had absolutely not fallen asleep the night before) and was watching whatever had come up on the television while sipping tea and poking at a roll of something called Rolos that she'd handwavily gotten earlier, along with a heap of other candies.

She would probably welcome company. And maybe share her candy. Maybe.

"Yes, he did. He's very good. And only the past year or so," she said. "It was my brother's. I stole it when I left home and have been trying to teach myself to use it properly rather than just as a desperate defense," she answered.

"I've never worked with a scimitar," Peter said. "Might you show me one day?"

Aravis considered, and then nodded. "You have a broadsword, I assume. I've not used one. May I see it, as well?"

Peter nodded. "Certainly. Now that we're back in the dorms, we could work in the salle one day if you'd wish to."

"I would like that very much," she said, inclining her head again out of respect.

"As would I," he replied with a smile.

He paused then asked. "May I have another skittle?"

She held out the bag. "You may have more than that, if you'd like. I won't finish them myself. They do not suit my tastes."

"Thank you," he said, pouring himself a small handful. "How do you find the return to the dorms?"

"I prefer it to the cabins," she said honestly. "Though neither situation is one that is familiar to me."
