The College Years - Circe had the right of it

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 1:50 am

Samantha stepped into the dorm room and closed the door with some vehemence. She leaned against it with a sigh, muttering.

"Bloody pigs..."

"What's wrong?" Nailah asks, looking up from her laptop, having a pretty good idea about what's wrong already.

"Even the nicest pick-up lines are ruined if you're thinking filthy things while you say them."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 10:27 am

"I'm starting to think that's just how it goes and most people just can't tell." she sighs with a sympathetic smile.

"Well is a little sincerity too much to ask? I'd like it if 'Can I take you out for coffee?' Didn't mean 'I want to fuck your brains out' for once."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 10:38 am

"You'd think so... I'm sorry."

She's been getting better at reigning in 'loud' thoughts but sometimes it still happens. At least you are being hit on in the first place...

"I'll always grab a coffee with you." she jokes.

"Look, I... I know this probably isn't the best thing to complain about to you."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 10:48 am

"Don't worry about it. Not having to deal with random guys coming on to me isn't the worst fate in the world."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 10:49 am

"It's just... really bloody annoying."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 10:54 am

"Please tell me you at least send him off with a nasty thought in his head."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 10:56 am

"Kafka dreams. Seemed fitting."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 11:01 am

"Nice one!" she chuckles.

"And don't sweat it. They're just single-minded moths being drawn to the flame."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 11:02 am

"Is that a ginger joke?" She smirked.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 11:04 am

"Might be, might be." she teases a little.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 11:06 am

"At least you're not so bloody vulgar about it. Between that and the quips about Ireland, I'm just sick of it all."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 11:09 am

"Well if you need a break then the offer stands. I'll take you out for coffee free of ulterior motives anytime." she smiles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 11:12 am

"I think I'd like that. It'd just be relaxing, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 11:17 am

"Exactly. Take your mind off of things."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 11:17 am

"You're just full of puns today, aren't you?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 11:23 am

"That one wasn't even intended as such. You just make some sayings too literal." she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 12:36 pm

"Don't worry, I'll be on my best behavior."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 12:41 pm

"Because you're so wild and unbridled usually." she nods mock-seriously.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 12:42 pm

"We've all got our fits of pique, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 12:51 pm

"Sure. Just hard to imagine you going over the line."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 12:53 pm

"Suppose so," she said a bit distractedly as she remembered a late night some time ago.

"And besides which, it's just coffee."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 12:57 pm

"That's the whole point, right?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 12:58 pm

"Aye. Sorry, just a stray thought."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 1:00 pm

"Okay..." she says, quirking an eyebrow but then dismissing it.

"Wanna go then? I could use a break from this anyway." she says, glancing at her laptop.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 1:04 pm

"I meant one of mine," she smirked, "but aye, let's."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 1:16 pm

She smiles and gets up, folding her wings around her shoulders in place of putting on a jacket and off they go to a small coffee shop near campus. As usual Nailah draws a couple less-than-favourable glances but at some point you just get used to it and the little shop by now has gotten used to the sphinx for the most part.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 1:19 pm

"Seems you're a bit of a regular here," Sam said with a smile as they sat down.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 1:26 pm

"I like it here and I got the least amount of staring." she says, sounding like she's well aware how sad that is if you think about it too hard.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 1:31 pm

"Aye well, their loss if they can't handle a little of the fantastic. Cozy here, though."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 1:44 pm

"It really is. And as much as I back down sometimes I feel like I deserve to carve out the occasional place for myself where I feel comfortable."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 1:46 pm

"Your own little sanctum, aye? Nothing wrong with that."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 1:52 pm

"Something like that, yeah. Bit of a refuge from being hassled."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 2:00 pm

"So, are you a mocha person, or do you take it straight?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 2:05 pm

"I prefer straight usually but honestly, I don't so much care about the coffee. It's more the atmosphere and some peace and quiet to read."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 2:22 pm

"Have to pay our loitering fee though, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 2:30 pm

"You do get a complimentary coffee at least." she chuckles.
