Fifth Floor Common Room [evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie was sort of surprised by the very sticky rain, and that in and of itself was a mark of how long she'd been there.

And after a day spent indoors reading, she decided to do something smart about the rain. And so she wandered out to her common room, found it empty, and took to carefully positioning some buckets to hang out the windows.

Sookie, meanwhile, set to work mixing up some pancake batter. And, of course, frying up some bacon and eggs. It wasn't really breakfast-for-supper unless you had all the components.

Turtle did look like she really could not argue that fact. "But my point is that some people still seem to make it work."

"He hasn't contacted people here," she pointed out. "So he's not really working that angle, though I guess that's 'cause of the show."

"But he's managed to call Teddy," Turtle returned. "He did in the last episode, I think. So there's that. It would be way too sad if he couldn't, those two have been together forever, and it's nice to know that some couples,"--said ruefully--"can make it."

Ino made a face. She was three for three with losing her boyfriends to the horrors of leaving.

"It is nice," she said, wrinkling her nose. "Can it happen to me eventually?y"

"Maybe!" Turtle said optimistically. "I mean, you've still got time."

[intraspective]

"Ugh." She shook her head and laughed. "You sound so old."

"I'm going to be eighteen next year!" Turtle informed her, laughing as well. "That is old!"

[intraspective]

"I'm almost sixteen," she said sulkily, though a smile lurked in her eyes. "And you don't see me being all old-like."

"Yes, well," Turtle said, lifting her chin, "some of us just mature quicker than others, I suppose."

[intraspective]

"There's all sorts of types of maturity," Ino informed her loftily.

"And one of them," Turtle returned the lofty tone, "is knowing when it's time to move on and embark on the next step in your life."
