Third Floor Common Room [Tuesday afternoon]

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

Rapunzel had spent so much time in her tower doing certain activities that she almost didn't want to do some of them anymore, instead just picking and choosing her favorites -- the things she'd do even if she wasn't incredibly bored and lonely.

Like cooking. Or working on her mural, which was now nearly finished (though she'd probably start on the ceiling as soon as her wall space was up, if Anders didn't actually tell her she couldn't or something.) She'd spent almost no time whatsoever working on candle-making or pottery, partially due to lack of supplies, but mostly due to lack of interest.

Today, though, when she'd ventured out in search of something to do, she'd managed to get her hands on a puzzle. And as dorky as she knew it was (because Mother was more than happy to tell her, and often), Rapunzel loved puzzles.

So Tuesday afternoon found her on the common room floor, the pieces spread out in front of her and her hair wound in a neat circle around the room.

"That's a middle piece, Pascal, we're looking for the edges still, silly." Pascal, who was helpfully offering pieces up to Rapunzel periodically, was on the verge of a fit of pique, seriously. Rapunzel was going to end up with a chameleon hiding amongst puzzle pieces if she wasn't careful.

[open due to unexpected boredom (that supposed madness this afternoon was actually canceled!) but with usual SP-at-work caveats! mostly i just wanted to use this icon, idk.]

"Good," he said with forced casualness. "How was your weekend? Was it as fucked up as it was for the rest of us?"

Edward pulled a face. "Can we keep it at-- 'fucked up', mate?" he said. "I'd rather not think about it."

"Fine by me," Barry agreed, as he reached into his backpack. "Listen. I know we haven't gotten along very well so I wa hoping we could somehow bury the hatchet and try to get along better."

"Rapunzel got to you, didn't she?" Edward said wryly.

He sat back. "Aye, I suppose we could give it a try," he allowed. "Now that we're both a bit more even-keeled."

That's what he was going to put it on, anyway.

"Good," Barry said pulling out a galaxy-type pad/phone device. "Because I thought you might want to use some modern technology for once. Consider it a peace offering."

"Is that like the tablet that Nathan received?" Edward said, with actual interest.

"It's a little bit smaller but it's the same kind of technology," Barry said holding it out for Ed to take. "But it is also a phone."

[doesnotkneel]

Edward took it - now he looked more dubious than anything. "A phone?" he echoed.
