Third Floor Common Room; Monday Morning [09/02].

Wayne supposed he probably could've done a better job at tellin' the new kids about Monday morning breakfast. There weren't much he could do about it now, though, except maybe hope that the girls had managed to spread a little bit of it by word of mouth, and trust in the ventilations system in here to take all those delicious aromas of a homecooked meal and spread it conveniently through the halls of the dormitory building. It'd be nice, to have some new faces join in on the tradition, realleh, so maybe he'd have to try to mention it if he wound up talking with any of them through the week, especially with classes and everything.

The fact that everything he'd picked up yesterday that he'd need was still there and exactly as it should be was a bit of a relief, and Wayne got to work, making sure each and every pancake was the fluffiest, that each slice of bacon had just the right amount of crisp, that there was more than enough coffee ready to go in the pot, and that there were more'n enough eggs to make however a person might like 'em...though he felt an odd reluctance to make too many of 'em sunny side up.

And so it was breakfast time, a good hearty meal to get yer day...and yer semester...started!

"Happy first day of the semester, Keyleeeeeeeeeeeeeeth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Complete with a happy wave from Nina.

"Do you, like, have any classes today????????????????"

"Nina, hi!" Keyleth gave her an equally cheerful, but possibly much more dorky, wave in return. "I do, I'm in the Terrain and You class this morning. How about you?"
bookbeltof_love: (thinking hard)

"Ooooh, that class sounded pretty neat from the sign ups!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Not that Nina had taken it, but it had sounded neat! "I don't have anything, like, today????????????? But tomorrow I've got Computer Science and Repair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Lucky you, you have a day to get warmed up before the actual school week starts," Keyleth said, laughing. "I have to admit, I was curious about that class, but it won't exactly be useful for me back home."

Though she could've taken it anyway, she supposed.

"I'd love to know how it goes, though."

"I don't know, like, if it'll be useful to me back home," Nina mused, tilting her head back as she thought about it.

No, definitely not.

"But I took it because, like, it should help me out with a.................," she hesitated a moment before finishing with, "a research project I'm working on??????????????" Nina laughed. "I can totally let you know how it goes, though??????????????????"

"Please. I'm really curious, actually," Keyleth told her. "Though speaking of curious. How well did you think Wayne did proving his point with the suit at the picnic? He, um, said I should confirm with you."
bookbeltof_love: (that doesn't sound right)

[personal profile] bookbeltof_love 2019-09-02 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh my gosh, he is fishing for more compliments??????????????" Nina looked both outraged and delighted at the same time.

She was still, like, going to blush a little as she said, "But, like, he was right, he does clean up well..................."
goldfishontherocks: (Thinky)

[personal profile] goldfishontherocks 2019-09-02 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe?" Keyleth wasn't well-versed enough in social cues to be able to tell, to be honest. Or to pick up on the blushing. "He really kind of does though, doesn't he? I told him he might make some of the new kids think he had a lookalike. He wasn't really thrilled with that idea."
bookbeltof_love: (yeah uh huh)

[personal profile] bookbeltof_love 2019-09-02 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Nina giggled.

"He wouldn't be, would he?????????????" she mused, glancing his way before lowering her voice conspiratorially, "Though I still think, like, that he really dressed up for the picnic because he's got a crush on someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I think I probably shouldn't have said that," Keyleth admitted, though really, foot-in-mouth was just a thing she was going to have to get used to. "Wait, really? So you think he was trying to impress someone?"

She chuckled a little bit. "That could explain why he made such a big deal about how it didn't mean he was a totally different person just because of the suit."
bookbeltof_love: (seriously considering)

[personal profile] bookbeltof_love 2019-09-02 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Right?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!" Nina beamed at Keyleth for totally understanding. "And how he was, like, harping on and on about making a point but then when we were talking he was telling me what he'd do if he really liked someone....................."
goldfishontherocks: (Casting)

She sort of understood! The rest was just her going along for the ride.

"But did the suit have anything to do with all of that?" she asked. "That might be the real question."

Look, she knew she got babbly when she got nervous. Why shouldn't other people?
bookbeltof_love: (that's great!!!!)

[personal profile] bookbeltof_love 2019-09-02 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course it does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

At least, in Nina's world, and Wayne was so touchy about it that she thought she was right...

"Like, most guys when around girls they l-i-k-e are going to want to look their best, right?????????????????"
