[Dictated in what he hopes is out of his new roommate's earshot.




...It's not.]

So is this going to become a regular thing? Pretty girls just randomly appearing in my room? I'm not complaining or anything, but considering this is the second time it's happened, I'm just wondering if a guy can get some warning.

[banished_dame]

Yeah, I bet. So, who's the girl?

[shirtless]

[Glancing over his shoulder, he doesn't want to get caught talking about her.]

Hermione. She's pretty. Kinda bookish, I think.

[banished_dame]

Bookish? What, she reads books? [Jacob. :| Not the best descriptor.]

[shirtless]

Yeah. You know, some girls just look like they grew up in a library or something. It's not a bad thing, it's just a look.

[banished_dame]

[She's not so sure he should be using that as a way of describing someone - grew up in a library - has an odd feeling to it. However, she'll ignore it in favor of poking fun at him some more.]

So, what sort'v warning would you like?

[shirtless]

[He was never great at tact!]

Something like... You know what would be neat? If we had some kind of alarm or light system. Every time the castle's about to do something, a siren sounds or lights flash.

[banished_dame]

Wouldn't that just be more obnoxious than whatever the castle's doing?

Plus, still not much of a warning.

[shirtless]

Oh, oh. I got it.

There should be a monthly calender of events. "Week 2 the castle will be filled with Spaghettios."

[banished_dame]

What's a Spaghettio?

[shirtless]

Wait, you've never had Spaghettios?

Hold on, I'm coming over. What's your room number this time?

2/2

[shirtless]

Wait.

[banished_dame]

What'm I waiting for?

I'm in a tower this time. [insert that location here.]

Not exactly convenient.

[shirtless]

You're waiting because we're still trapped in these rooms. Unless you're not trapped, in which case you're incredibly lucky.

[banished_dame]

Oh. No, I'm stuck. Bloke named Hellboy's here. He's actually quite nice.

You'll have to educate me on these when we're free. 'Bout a week, yeah? Usual turn around for the castle, y'think? [It's sort of sad how the castle 'norms' are engrained into Rose.]

[shirtless]

Hopefully. If we're lucky, maybe it won't last that long.

But yeah. When we're free again, I'm tracking you down and introducing you to one of the easiest foods to make of all time.

[banished_dame]

I'm holding you to that, Sir Jacob.

[shirtless]

Then you've got nothing to worry about, Dame Rose.

[He'll draw a reassuring smiley face on the page as if it seals the deal.]

[banished_dame]

[She will draw a funny hat on the smiley face.]

I look forward to it.
