Fifth Floor Common Room, Tuesday Afternoon

John was a failure of a big brother for never sharing the wonders of chocolate with his sibling. He decided to make it up to his little sister by gathering every sort of chocolate he could get his hands on for a tasting in the common room.

Which meant there was chocolate cake, chocolate pie, and chocolate pudding, in addition to a wide variety of chocolate candy, spread all over the common room. Far too much chocolate for two people.

"Okay, so, I think you should try the plain chocolate candy bar first. It's both classic and pure," he recommended to Faile.

[ooc: CR is open with totally moddable chocolates.]

"Hey Charlie!" John greeted her. "How was your vacation?"

"Good! I got to hang out with my old friends from back home, had a cookout, and managed to avoid being drafted to go tip cows." She smiled a little more widely. "How was yours?"

"It was fun," John replied casually. "Just hung out with some friends around town."

"How are the new kids settling in? Any of the new teachers seem really cool?" She shot Rodney a glance, and then took a breath. "And, um. I kinda need to tell you something, but maybe you already know it..." She'd be incredibly relieved if he did, since she'd had to leave before she'd been able to tell John about it.

"The new kids are cool, but I haven't met any of the teachers yet," John told her. "What did you want to tell me? I'm all ears."

Charlie bit her lip, and asked, "Can I tell you in the kitchen, over here? I don't want to just blurt this out right here." She got up from her place on the couch, and pointed over to the small food area. "Just to be a little more private."

"Sure," John agreed, leading the way to the kitchen area. Thinking he had a good idea now what it was she wanted to tell him.

Charlie kept her voice down when they got there, and gave John a worried look. "I couldn't find you before I left on vacation, and I wanted to tell Rodney first, and maybe he already told you, but, um. We're dating now. He and I, I mean. Just each other." She bit her lip. "I really like you're and you're totally cool, you know? But... I understand Rodney easier."

"Yeah, Rodney told me when we were hanging out last week," John replied. "I understand. He's a cool guy." Then he said a little sheepishly. "And I might have a thing going with someone else."

"Really?" Charlie said, lighting up. "Oh, cool, now I don't have to feel so bad! Can I ask who, or are you keeping it quiet for now?"

"I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you," John teased.

Charlie snickered. "Come oooon. Now you've got me all wondering! I just hope she's cool, really. Is she one of the new people?"

"As the great Hilary Duff would say, 'our lips are sealed,'" John smirked. "Or in this case, mine are."

"Pfftt. Fine." Charlie aimed a light punch at his arm. "Thanks for being cool about this. And yay for your new thing. Maybe we can double date! ~~Although who's dating who would be interesting to figure out."~~

John took the light blow to the arm in stride. "First I have to make sure I'd have a date to bring, but I'll think about it."

"Yay," Charlie said, happy to have that out of the way. "And now, there's chocolate. Which is a reason to celebrate in and of itself."

"Yep, there's tons of chocolate. Help yourself," John told her. "Rodney's been gorging on some French stuff he found. You might have to pry him away from it."

"Oooo, French. Maybe I can get him to share." Charlie grinned and headed back into the main area. "Thanks, John!"
