Third Floor Common Room; Monday Morning [10/05].

[howareyanow]

Considering how Wayne had spent most of his weekend stuck in his room with a stubborn mule that refused to move past the doorway until Wayne accepted the idea that the mule was something called a daemon that was apparently something to do with Wayne's soul or other such tom fuckery, thus putting them at quite the expected impasse, and considering how last Monday not only had everything all tiny, but also had Miles bein' all sticky and going out a window, he was going to be a little put out and peeved off if breakfast that morning was anything but normal.

Normal food, normal dishes, he had managed to squeeze in the normal shopping on account of the mule having at least a healthy respect fer tradition...so far...so good!

At least everything on his side of things seemed good'n'normal that morning.

He did not expect that to stay as such once his fellow students started coming 'round, though. He may be stubborn, but he wasn't stupid.

"Good morning," Miles said cheerfully walking into the common room. He immediately dropped a sack lunch near Wayne and headed to the sink to do the dishes. "Sorry about the mess last week. Things got... weird."

To say the least.

Wayne squinted a moment at the bag. Squinted a moment at Miles. Squinted a .moment at that spot on the wall behind the stove that prob'ly got squinted at the most.

"Couldn't be helped," he seemed to conclude, and he certainly hoped that was true! Then he reached for a plate, going to go fill it up fer Miles before he went sticking to it before it at least had food on it.

"And how are ya...now?" he asked, the inflection quite a bit different than the usual rote drawl.

"I'm-"

Well that was a loaded question.

"-doing all right," Miles said, showing he could pick up and put down plates without an issue. "It was a pretty weird week. I also missed a bunch of classes that I probably have to catch up on. How are you doing? No weird food today?"

[howareyanow]

"No weird food," Wayne confirmed, as he handed a loaded plate of such on over to Miles, "no weird equipments, no weird guests. Just everything nice and normal, as it should be!"

He knew it wasn't likeleh to last long, but he planned to enjoy it while it did!

"Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed for next week to be normal as well," Miles said, gratefully taking the food and sitting down to eat. "Maybe since we had all those talking animals show up it negated the weirdness today?"

Or maybe because Miles made it really weird last week the island decided to be nice to Wayne.

"Seems likeleh," said Wayne. "Likes to come in waves. Gives you a break before things go..." There was a grumble. "...funneh again..."

[sparkinyou]

"Yeah. Honestly I could use just a normal week," Miles said, his cheerful attitude dropping for a moment. "Or at least a week that doesn't involve the extra layer of weird we usually get."
