Remember, Remember, the Sixth of November

[wildkate]

Katelyn was not one to celebrate 'special days' as often as her roommate. Liz made such a big deal out of each and every birthday, baking cookies and drawing pictures and looking for the perfect present for each of her classmates. Katelyn was more laid-back, celebrating alongside her classmates but doing so more calmly, more likely to congratulate

Ralph had been working on some plans for her new classes when Katelyn knocked on the door. It was one of the good things about being at a magical school. Combining magic with technology let her keep up with things that would've caused her a lot of trouble usually. She could still 'write' her essays for the needed subjects, and it had been arranged in such way that the computer could read text to her out loud when she was gathering information. It was still a bit cumbersome and it still took some getting used to. But she was getting there.

Ralph looked up, so to speak, when she heard the knock. Out of safety - before every word she said would be recorded on the computer and mess up her lesson plans, she saved the file and closed it. "Katelyn," the woman said when she recognized the voice. "You can always come in, you know that. Door should be open, unless someone accidentally locked it."

Kate smiled as she opened the door. "I know," she said as she stepped inside. "But! I thought...it might be scary, you know? If I just came in and didn't say who I was first."

The visitor walked past where Ralph sat. "I hope, you're not too busy," she casually mentioned as she noticed Ralph hard at work at more classes and lectures and other such things on her special computer. While she spoke, she was fiddling with some of the other electronics in the room. "But! I thought, you probably could use some cheering up and might want to do something fun." Her friend of course couldn't see her smile, but the friendly cheer in her voice made up for this fact. "It's been a while, since we watched any pirate movies together." Looking over her shoulder, Kate glanced back at the girl still sitting down. "Maybe, you'd want to do something like that? Instead of studying?"

"I am rather busy," Ralph admitted. Although she still had some help from Soi, most of the lessons had to come now from her, and that next to all her normal schoolwork...

But then the woman smiled a bit. "But doing something else for a change would be nice. So if you want, I am all yours for today. I'm afraid I don't really have much around at the moment, though. I wasn't really expecting any visitors or friends who wanted to watch a movie with me."

"That's okay," Kate said in a casual, friendly tone. Though she knew how much effort it took to be a good hostess, always seeing Liz serve everyone cookies and drinks whenever someone came to visit, Katelyn was far more relaxed about such things. She wasn't overly concerned about how clean Ralph's room might have been, or anything else that one might do before receiving company. To her, spending time with those you care about was what mattered. The rest escaped her notice entirely
