Third Floor Common Room, Tuesday night

Frankly, Terry was still confused about what he missed being out of town last week. Listening to radio podcasts really didn't help matters. He was at the point where he was happy to just ignore it, focus on saving the world with Superman, and spending tonight in front of the TV watching the Olympics.

Of course, that led to stray thoughts about how his Bat-training would actually set him up to be a decent competitor, although that was slightly offset by the fact that he had chips to snack on. Did Olympians snack? Terry didn't know and didn't care enough to do the research. But Batman snacked. And that was good enough for him.

"The Olympics. It seems to be a swimming and gymnastics night," Terry said. "And it's just you and me here so far. Which means there's plenty of chips to go around if you're hungry and don't care too much about eating healthy."

Fawn gave a faint smile. "I'll pass on the chip, thanks," she said, because...well, she didn't care so much as it was just weird for her to not eat healthy, unless there were doughnuts involved. She bit her lip for a moment, considering a chair that would be easy to curl up in, and her eyes flicked to the other person.

"You're not, like, upset that you're not there, or anything, are you?" she asked with caution. The last thing she wanted to deal with was a repeat of ComicCon Meltdown 2012.

"What, like as a spectator?" Terry asked. "No. I guess it would be fun being there, but I'm fine watching it on TV. This way there are fewer lines, cheaper food, I get to see more."

Fawn nodded her approval of this display of reasonable sanity and went to go sit down. "The last time I hung out in a common room," she explained, "the guy was going ballistic because he couldn't go to ComicCon and be the King of the Nerds. I told him that was probably a good thing, but that just made it worse."

"Yikes," Terry said, wincing in retroactive sympathy. "I've been friends with some nerds like that. Moments like that aren't their finest."

"Just checking, is 'King of the Nerds' his term or yours?" It could really go either way.

"I'm the one who brought it up," Fawn admitted. "I didn't really mean it as a good thing, but I guess he thought otherwise. It was..."

She frowned, searching for the right word.

"Odd."

"Well, don't worry. You can throw any mild insults you want at me and I promise not to go crazy over it either way," Terry said.

That almost sounded like a challenge.

"Prince of the Middle of the Road?" Fawn tried. "Emperor of Sensible Reactions?"

"I've definitely been called worse," Terry said. "But if you don't want to say a whole title from now on, you can just call me Terry."

"A little less pretense," Fawn agreed. "And I'm--" For two-point-five seconds, she thought of making up name, "Fawn."

[identity profile] alreadyisbeyond.livejournal.com 2012-08-01 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
That actually kind of sounded like a made up name. Then again, he knew a girl named 'Blade' back home, so he wasn't making any assumptions.

"Oh, I don't mind the pretense. 'Terry' is just easier for people to remember," Terr joked.

[identity profile] yinandyango.livejournal.com 2012-08-01 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Fawn shrugged. "I don't remember the Not-King-of-the-Nerd's name," she countered mildly.

Although, really, that could have had to do with the seizure. Or just a pervasive sense of complete apathy.

"It sounds like his fit was more memorable than his name anyway," Terry said.
