Third Floor Common Room; Thursday Evening [ 04/14 ].

One could suppose that there were many things Alexander could be doing right now. He could be making sure all his dress tunics were in good condition if he wound up going to this prom event this weekend. He could be getting a head start on his examinations this weekend, especially all those languages that he'll never have to use again. He could be....sleeping.

But he was working once more on some maps. Rosella had pulled through for him and sent him some updated maps based on some recent exploration by Derek Karlavaegen, so it was time for Alexander to pour over them, study them carefully and look for any signs of suggestions that the Land of the Green Isles might be hidden somewhere in these new developments of cartography.

It was unlikely, he knew, but the chance had his heart beating faster with excitement, that maybe, just maybe, there might be something, some clue to him finding his Cassima...

He had brought his work with him to the common room, because that was a good way, he figured, to keep himself from being deemed a recluse. His mother couldn't argue that he wasn't at least trying to be social.

She tapped her finger against her lips thoughtfully. "Most of my friends are already paired up," she admitted. "Should I fetch my student directory?"

Because clearly cold-calling sophomores the night before prom would be ideal.

"That's probably not necessary," Bruce said. "I think I'll stick to my original plan of going by myself and seeing what happens from there."

"Well, be sure to dance with girls who also don't have dates," Rilla decided.

"I think I can guarantee that will happen," Bruce said. "After all, I'd hate to be bored at the dance."

"And maybe you can use some of the steps from that dance program," she teased.

"I don't think that's likely. I'm a much better dancer than any of the celebrities on it," Bruce said.

"That seems like a boast just begging to be checked," Rilla replied.

"Unfortunately, you won't be able to see for yourself," Bruce said. "It's too bad. I would have saved a dance for you."

"We'll see," Rilla said. "I'm very crafty."

Not really.

"In that case, if you manage to make it into the prom, a dance will be your reward from me," Bruce said.
