Third Floor Common Room - Monday Morning - 10/13

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir could not stay in his room this morning.

Liir... had to do something normal, something mundane, something hot and greasy and familiar, and that was why he was in the common room kitchen doing a massive fry up for anyone who thought it worth the effort to creep out of their room.

Anyone who started conversations with anything other than 'this weekend' also got a brownie.

[open and free food for all!][...and considering this weekend, his icon (and where it comes from) is FAR TOO AMUSING FOR WORDS right now]

He grinned.

"Well, yes, but we just call them Harvest Festivals. Did people forget to give thanks?"

[wantstodirect]

"Maybe?" Tony shrugged. "Or maybe it's because we're mostly in cities now and it's become a general family thanks-for-the-good-things-in-life holiday?"

He chuckled a little.

"Most of the preachers would say we should give thanks at least every Seventhday," he said, mostly kidding.

"But I get it. Did you celebrate?"

[wantstodirect]

"Sometimes I have turkey," Tony said. Thanksgiving had been a good day for free food when he was living on the streets of Toronto. "But I don't have family so I don't do the big celebration." Henry wasn't big on turkey.

He nodded.

"Turkey is tasty enough," he observed. "Though what does it have to do with the harvest?"

[wantstodirect]

"Dunno," Tony said. "It's traditional."

"It's delicious as well, but I was curious," he said.

He looked over at Tony.

"Do you have any plans?" he asked him. "For the break."

[wantstodirect]

"No, just hanging out and watching old movies," Tony said.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"That sounds... at least it'll fill your days. Is there any reason you're watching old movies?"

[wantstodirect]

"I like them?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Oh."

He blushed.

"I just didn't know if there was any difference between old movies and new movies."

[wantstodirect]

"Oh yeah, movies have changed a lot," Tony said. "Not just the technology either - also the way lighting and colour are used, the way the dialogue is written and spoken - if you're interested, I could show you sometime."

"If you didn't mind explaining it," he told Tony with a bit of a wince.

"I know I must be a bit of a trial."

[wantstodirect]

Tony grinned. "I love talking about movies. Just let me know if you want me to stop."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He laughed.

"I don't think that'll be a problem."

Liir liked to learn, and on top of that, he didn't much like to talk. Someone continually talking about something he didn't know about was good.

"Cool," Tony said. "I've got DVDs so we can just take over the common room sometime."

"I've got a relatively clear schedule," he admitted. "At least this week. Whenever you like."
