Fourth floor common room: Tuesday afternoon

Karal was mostly over his cold, and completely sick of his room. He knew it was Christmas today, not that he really knew what that involved, but there was one Karsite tradition he was quite sure would fit.

Hot spiced cider.

There was a pot of it mulling on the stove, smelling of cinnamon and spices and all things yummy and if it was a teeny bit alcoholic, it was only enough to warm.

Karal was curled up on the couch with a mug of cider, reading, while Altra sprawled across the back of it. With the dorms as quiet as they were, he wasn't sure if there was anyone left, but he'd made enough cider for anyone who might wander by.

"I tried sparring with Cassandra once. I didn't do...I was bad at it," he admitted, sheepishly.

"Practise is the only way to get better," Ino pointed out, "you can't just give up. And Cassandra's pretty awesome at fighting, so don't feel bad about it."

"So I should practice with her more often, then? And other fighters?" He perked up a bit at that. "And I'll get better?"
intraspective: (confidence)

"It might take a while," Ino said, "but you should get better."

"Awesome!" he said. "I mean, I'm not half-bad now, but I could use some improvement." He looked down at his arms, then back at her. "So when are we starting this exploration? We're not waiting until spring, are we?"
intraspective: (huh?)

"I don't want to wait," Ino protested, "how about the last week or so of January maybe?"

"Great! And that gives us enough time to hit up the library and look for something. Maps. Records. Think we'll find something?"

This? This was gonna be so cool.
intraspective: (joy!)

"Who knows?" Ino grinned, "But that's at least half the fun!"

So very, very fun.

"I'm ready when you are. Should we wait for classes to start? Make sure the schedules do not conflict?"

"Yeah, and that'll give us time to convince everyone we need to convince." She nodded.

"We can be very convincing," he nodded. Because he had A Plan. And now? A List.
