Second floor common room- Sunday afternoon

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Yesterday Sabine had gone shopping, marked all her stuff with her symbol because even if it didn't keep anyone from stealing it if she ever saw it she'd know it was hers, and put everything away.

Today she went into the fridge to get a soda and...

"Come on, it hasn't even been a day!"

She was going to have to start making booby traps.

Lana had several questions to ask about that, but she could take a hint in the feeling behind that, and instead of asking them, she nodded.

"I'll keep an eye out for it, anyway."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Thanks," she said, and officially gave up on the search for her stuff for the moment. "So how've you been?"

[unusual_sith]

"Not too bad. Two of my classes were cancelled this week, though. It left me rather at loose ends. You?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Decent enough. My armor got me work doing art, so that was fun. I'm keeping busy," she shrugged. "Should we be worried if two classes get canceled in week three?"

[unusual_sith]

"I have no idea," Lana confessed. "It almost makes me wonder what the instructors are up to, but they seem to be a bit less harsh here than back home."

Homicidal. The word she was looking for was less homicidal.

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I feel like any school would seem more harsh than this one," she said. "Was there anything good about your last school?"

[unusual_sith]

"I learned quite a lot at the Academy on Korriban," Lana said. "I would never give it up. It's just that often we were learning by surviving the instructors' expectations, rather than by following their requests. What about you? What schooling did you have before this?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"The Academy on Mandalore," she answered. "It sounds less intense than yours but... it was a lot."

[unusual_sith]

"I would imagine it was still a lot stricter than this, though," Lana said.

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"You could say that." She shrugged. "It wasn't a good fit for me, so I moved on."

[unusual_sith]

"How do you like this, then?" Lana asked. "Is here a better fit?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"So far. There's more room to move, figure things out," she admitted. "I don't understand how they do actual school here at all, but the other stuff... What about you?"

[unusual_sith]

"I have more free time now than I have in ages," Lana said. "I honestly don't know what to do with a lot of it. It takes some getting used to."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"How's finding a hobby going?" Sabine asked.

[unusual_sith]

"I've been reading a lot," Lana answered wryly. "On the upside, I've been learning a lot about the history of this place."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Well, with enough free time then you should make your way through the library's whole catalog what, by the end of the year?" Sabine teased.

[unusual_sith]

"Maybe about the same time I get over being able to actually handle paper books," Lana said, grinning. "I keep expecting them to fall apart."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I'm sure some probably do," Sabine said. "I actually like it for my sketchbooks, though."

[unusual_sith]

"It must be harder to erase things on, though?" Lana asked. "Though I imagine you can get better color than on a datapad."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I kind of like not erasing," she shrugged. "It's just for me and it's usually me just trying some stuff out, so I don't need it to be perfect."

[unusual_sith]

Lana nodded. "It's strange for paper to be so disposable. The only paper books I've seen were all ancient treasures."
