Second Floor Common Room [Late Morning]

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

After his first class, Ned had come back to the dorms without much in mind as to what to do to pass the time until his class later in the day.

After talking himself into and out of it several times, he'd finally gathered up some things he'd purchased over the weekend and trundled everything down the hall to the common room. It was empty for the time being.

Before he could talk himself out of it once more, he started baking for the first time in years. A pie, of course. A simple apple pie but it felt good to be baking again. It'd been awhile.

[Open CR is open. He'll share, of course.]

Ino considered various responses to that: Did he freak out a lot? Why? What made pie making different from other freakoutable jobs?

What she asked though, because Ino wasn't in the mood for Serious Talk of any sort was: "So, would you rather be referred to as Pie Hero Ned, or Ned, the Pie Hero?"

A beat.

"Or just Ned?"

She suspected that that last would be his choice even though it was the most boring one to her.

"Probably just Ned," he said, showing he was very predictable. "It's what I'm used to, after all."

"I suppose I can work with that," she said, though her grin made it clear that she was totally teasing him now.

"Give it a few months and maybe I'll change my mind," he said and smiled.
