Floe sighed as she trudged up the hall of South Quad. She had arrived back on campus that afternoon, but it was already evening by the time she made it back to the dorms. After being shuffled between office buildings, making sure her information was back in the school's files, and getting her schedule, it was a major relief to finally be walking down the familiar hallway once again. The last several weeks of panicking parents and frustrated phone calls to school administrators seemed far behind her as she stopped in front of the right door, setting her suitcase down and reaching in her pocket for her key.

She hesitated briefly. It was good to be back, of course...still, she'd been surprised to find out that she would be in the same room this year. Surprised, and a little bit nervous. Things had been a little tense when she'd last parted with her old roommate, after all. Oh, who was she kidding. Things had always been a little tense. Sure, the tiny part of her that had hoped the room would be filled when she returned was quickly

The sound of the door opening was covered up by the movie - some Kenneth Branagh adaptation of one of the many works of Shakespeare - so Marisa didn't notice right away. She chewed on the end of her pencil before pushing her hair back behind her shoulder only to make her glasses slide a bit down her nose. Giving a sigh of irritation, Marisa put the pencil between her teeth and then looked up as she adjusted her glasses.

And that's when she saw a familiar head of honey-blonde hair and clear, expressive blue eyes. Marisa froze and stared for a long moment, not sure she believed what she was seeing.

"...am I hallucinating?"

Unfortunately, that was said in Japanese.

Floe stopped in the doorway, momentarily distracted by the state of the room. It looked like a tornado had ripped through it- a blond tornado that was too lazy to pick up after herself. Floe briefly wondered if she'd even be able to find her roommate in all the mess as she glanced around the room...turning to the couch just in time to lock gazes with the other girl as she looked up.

There was a long moment of silence as the two stared, unmoving, before Marisa uttered something she couldn't understand. Floe let out the breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding and finally allowed herself a smile.

"I'm just gonna pretend that was something I could understand, like 'hello' or 'welcome home, dear.'"

There was another moment before Marisa blinked and then grinned.

"...it is you! I thought I was seeing things," Marisa said, this time in English. She sat up and shoved her books onto the kotatsu before taking her glasses off.

"Get over here and hug me, ze."
