Laertes is -bored-. Too bored to practise fencing, and he doesn't know where his sister is, so he decides to read. Currently, he's reading about the history of Denmark, flopped lazily atop a chair in his rooms.
Horatio is still, let's be honest, intimidated by Laertes; they're not children any more, but that doesn't change matters. Laertes is stronger, braver, and different, and Horatio doesn't know him.
On the other hand, he's been making an effort to be somewhat social (mainly, let's be honest again, because he's depressed), and there's nobody better to start with than Laertes. Laertes is, in a way, refreshingly normal. He's different, but he's sane, and he's not someone Horatio is in love with, and he can't hurt Horatio. It's worth a try.
So a few moments later see him knocking gently on Laertes' door.
