5th Floor Common Room, Monday Early Evening

[intraspective]

Really, she ought to be asleep despite the ridiculously early hour. A weekend spent with little sleep and using loads of energy meant by all rights that she should be dead to the world at the moment. Ino had spent about an hour after her last class staring up at the ceiling before giving that idea up for a lost cause and wandered out to the common room to see what she could find that was entertaining enough to keep her from getting bored.

Normally Ino wasn't much of one for movies, but poking around turned up The Continuous Tale and it looked interesting enough for her to stare at while she tried to convince herself to unwind enough to actually sleep. Score!

That decided on, she made popcorn (because if she was going to do this movie thing, she was going to do it right) and curled up on the couch, hitting play. And, okay, maybe snuggle into a blanket as well. That counted as part of the whole movie thing, right? Right?

It totally did. She could even be convinced to share, if asked nicely.

[Ooopen as a common room is, yes!]

"Yikes," Roy said. "I hope so, too. That sucks, I'm sorry," he said.

"Thank you," she said quietly. "For now I'm just trying to learn what I can here. I'm afraid I'm not the best at social situations, but I'm trying to learn that too."

Roy smiled at her and said, "You seem to be doing okay to me. Have you been here long?"

"Tonight does seem to be a particularly good night for me," she admitted. "Perhaps while things are going well I should apologize in advance for when I become unpleasant? I've been here about a year and a half. And yet, still so much seems odd to me."

"Geez, I wish I could've banked apologies in advance," Roy said wryly, adjusting the bag of peas on his shoulder. "I'll remember that for later," he promised.

"Thank you," she said with a bit of a laugh. "I may hold you to that."
