Third Floor Common Room, Saturday Afternoon

[vanillajello]

Kate had come out of hiding.

After several days of staying firmly in her own room, she was now in the common room, lounging on one of the couches. She was reading an old magazine and eating popcorn from a big bowl.

The magazine was fascinating enough, but she kept looking up towards the door and wondering whether she should go down the hall to knock on a random person’s door and drag them back to keep her company.


[Open! Come entertain her, so she doesn't go bother random people.]

"No. But I know where I'm gonna be every Tuesday," he promised.

"It was more of a one-off thing. They were Muffins of Triumph. I'll make them again when there's another triumph," she said.

"Although I might be persuaded to make regular muffins at some point before that."

"Uh, we survived a week without anything happening. That's a triumph," he stated. "And regular muffins work, too."

"I'll see about making regular muffins when I feel like it. Meanwhile, you can pester Liir for brownies, I hear they're very good. Most likely better than any of my baking will ever be."

"I think I know Liir. I'll have to work on getting him on that," he said. "Not that your baking is bad. We could have a bake-off, just to check?" he suggested.

Of course, he would volunteer to judge.

"We don't need to check," Kate chuckled. "I'm an amateur. But if my brother comes to visit, I'm so organizing a bake-off between him and Liir. And possibly Francine too."

This was getting better and better. "We should make this happen," he declared. "When can we set this up?"

Of course he'd sell tickets. He wasn't stupid.

"You're in for a wait. It's not gonna be until Parents Weekend."

She could've mentioned she might not be staying until that. But she didn't.

Instead she laughed. "Oh man, my brother is going to kill me when he finds out I've set him up for stuff like this."

"I'm sure we can set something up, hide you for a week or so," he said with a grin.
