Fourth floor common room: Wednesday morning [before workshops]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

It was a somewhat damp Karal who trudged into the fourth floor common room. He'd just come back from feeding Trenor, it was raining outside, and he had yet to be introduced to the concept of an umbrella.

This would be why he was damp, although damp might be too mild a term, looking at the matter objectively. Water was dripping down the back of his neck and off his curls, his shoes were squelching lightly, and his shirt was stuck to him.

Altra, who'd been fast asleep in the common room, took one look at him and started laughing so hard he fell off the back of the couch.

Karal sighed. "I need a cup of tea."

[ooc: it's a common room, and so it's open!]

"Is it truly nothing but sand?" he asked curiously. "Gavin really does talk about it a lot. I don't think he likes it much."

"He's not exaggerating," Luke said. "It's incredibly desolate. But we have two suns, so it's not like the planet really had a shot of being a garden paradise to start with."

Karal blinked. "Two suns? It has two suns? Your world sounds very strange to me," he said, then smiled. "You should come to Karse in the wet season, I think you would quickly grow tired of rain!"

"I don't think that'll ever be possible," Luke said with an answering smile, "but I'd love the opportunity to find out."

"If I am ever able to bring people to Karse, I will invite you, and you can!" he promised. "We have almost no sand, and no ocean, but we do have plenty of mountains and forests."

"How about swamps?" Luke asked a little nervously.

Karal frowned. "No, no I do not believe there are swamps. Swamps are bad things?"

"Not necessarily," Luke said. "I just spent a few months in one a while back and the humidity and creepy bugs weren't my favorite things."
