Room 407; Saturday [ 01/10 ].

Jan 10, 2009 15:36

With yet another pointless, unearned detention out of the way (he knew it; he knew he'd get one, he'd been feeling it all week), Cal returned to the room with an inkling of hope that a cockroadblock would already be removed and his roommate wouldn't be in at all tonight ( Read more... )

"...I finished all my other duties for the day," Merlin replied slowly. As if maybe Cal needed that speed to understand this. "I was thinking about going to see the Tee Vee later?"

"That's a really great idea," Cal said, nodding very emphatically for that idea. Smart kid, this Merlin. "I mean, you've got so much TV to catch up on, you'll probably want to check it out for a while."

"Well, later in the evening, of course." Cal was acting odd. Odd for even this place where no one acted like they should.

"What do you plan on doing until then?" Cal asked, forehead furrowing in concern. "And how late is 'later'?"

Claire stopped by a little later, after the hour they had set to meet and, hopefully, late enough that Merlin was long gone.

She was oddly jittery as she knocked on the door, and wished she'd had the foresight to save some pot for tonight. High was way easier on things like this.

Not that she was positive this was going to turn out Like This. But she could guess.

Well, that knock solved Cal's current conundrum, of trying to decide if lighting up a cigarette would help calm him down a little as he fiddled with a pack in his hands as he sat on his bed. Sure, it might not be Claire, but even if it wasn't, then it would be a distraction that wouldn't make his clothes smell bad. So he threw the pack across the room, trying to get it to his desk, but missing the mark, and got up.

He paused a moment to consider if there was a way to open a door particularly casually. He wasn't sure, but he tried.

And it actually was Claire. "Hey," he said, wondering if the relieved fall of his shoulders was obvious.

"Hey," Claire returned, noting the relief. "So did Merlin go off hunting snipes?"

Cal smiled a little before stepping back, sweeping an arm to introduce her into his humble abode. "Not quite," he admitted. "He didn't believe me about snipes, but he realized that it was kind of silly, him staying in a room and everything, when he had a whole new world out there to get used to. So he's catching up on TV and stuff."
