Fifth floor common room [after workshops]

Inspired by her French class today, Rilla had slipped into her room to pick up her copy of a Victor Hugo novel (in English. Her French wasn't nearly that good) and curled up on a sofa in the common room with the book, an apple and a cup of tea (which tasted a bit stewed. Rilla wasn't used to make her own tea).

This, she decided as she turned a page, was a marvelous way to spend the afternoon.

"That sounds ever so romantic," Rilla sighed. "I've been to Charlottesville. And here."

"I don't think I've ever heard travel referred to as romantic." Diana said diplomatically.

"Seeing exotic places, eating new food, encountering handsome strangers? That's very romantic," Rilla replied.

Diana snorted. "Oh yeah. That part. I usually travel for well, work. And there's more getting stuck in airports and strange train stations with creepy old guys."

"Airport?" Rilla repeated.

Diana considered how to explain this. "It flies." She finally managed. "Takes ten hours to get from North America to Europe. More if you're going farther, less if you're going closer."

And Rilla was back to thinking Diana was a little bit Special. "Of course."

[identity profile] oops-mbad.livejournal.com 2010-05-12 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well, she was. Just not like that.

Diana rolled her eyes. "Someone has told you that it's 2010, right?"

"A few people," Rilla said, tilting up her chin.

"Technology has moved forward." Diana bluntly informed her. "There's five hundred channels on the television, phones can fit in your pocket and take photos, and you can find out who played the dreamy lead in your favorite show in seconds. And yes, you can travel far and fast."

Rilla's voice turned a little frosty. "I'll remember," she said.

Diana grinned. "Don't believe me?"
