I10DT - This Is Me Eating

[Alexander Kokinos]

Alexander balanced a tray in one hand while he picked his way to a table. At least his telepathy let him avoid inadvertently sitting down and butting into someone else's meal, but it didn't really help him figure out where the physical tables were. He found one and sat down, digging into a Subway sandwich that he'd treated himself to.

"Is, um, this seat taken?" Raven asked, sitting down anyway.

[Alexander Kokinos]

"It is now," Alexander said, throwing a smile in her general direction.

[Trini Thompson]

"Oh! Then, like, I can totally go and stuff! Sorry, didn't mean to take your spot!" Raven said, missing the point.

[Alexander Kokinos]

"That's not what I meant. You're welcome to the seat. My name's Alexander."

[Trini Thompson]

"Oh! Duh, of course. I'm Raven."

[Alexander Kokinos]

"You don't happen to be Kim's friend Raven, do you?"

[Trini Thompson]

"I am!

Unless, like, she has two, that I don't know about."

[Alexander Kokinos]

"I was just wondering. I didn't think there would be many people at the university by the name of Raven."

[Trini Thompson]

"There's at LEAST two, though I think it was her LAST name."

[Alexander Kokinos]

"Given the propensity for calling people by their last names, that just makes things confusing."

[Trini Thompson]

"Like, that's what I said!"

[Alexander Kokinos]

Alexander chuckled, "So you're from the United States?"

[Trini Thompson]

"Yup! New to jolly old England and what what."

[Alexander Kokinos]

"Same here. It seems fairly nice so far."

[Trini Thompson]

"Well, spluh, there's the weather, which is, like, totally grody."

[Alexander Kokinos]

"The weather hasn't been too bad. I'm not looking forward to the winter though."

[Trini Thompson]

"I thought it WAS winter? Like, different hemispheres and whatnot?"

[Alexander Kokinos]

"Seasons are only different in the northern and southern hemispheres. And you're still technically in the Western Hemisphere, even if east and west seasons were different."

[Trini Thompson]

"Well, poo."

[Alexander Kokinos]

Americans.

"So what are you studying?"

[Trini Thompson]

"Nothing yet, though I am thinking about the sciences!

Or literature, maybe."

[Alexander Kokinos]

"Broad range to pick from there."

[Trini Thompson]

"Well, I'm keeping my options open, y'know?"
