Room 504, Monday Afternoon

[intraspective]

Ino got out of class, and it was one she was really going to have to reread her notes for and hope the handouts made sense because paying attention had kinda... failed her there, grabbed a quick sandwich from the common room (because, really, sandwiches were just about the easiest thing ever to make and she was hungry) and wandered back to her room with it in tow.

And the mirror. And the fact that, if she was going to make sure she was ready for things, then she ought to maybe make sure she had everything all set out. For the moment though, she was just sitting on her floor and staring at the mirror while she ate her sandwich.

[Open door, open post!]

"Excellent," she said, offering him a smile.

Hurley smiled back.

"So how are you? I kinda... stole the conversation."

[intraspective]

"Contemplative," she said, getting up and moving to flop down on her bed. "And alright, I guess."

Neatly skipping over the issues.

"I got made TA for American History."

"Dude, what?" Hurley said. "Do you... how much of that do you know?"

[intraspective]

"I know Mount Rushmore has faces on it," she said, thinking about it. "And that our parking lot is in Virginia, and we're in Maryland."

A beat.

"That's about it. Though I'm studying up on it."

"Cool," Hurley said. "Kinda like... immersion learning. Me and the flower shop."

[intraspective]

...that was about a million times nicer than anything Ino would've called it.

"How's that going anyway?" she wondered.

"Awesome," Hurley said. "I know more about orchids now than, like, I thought I ever would."

[intraspective]

"There's a lot of different kinds of them," she laughed. "And many other flowers too. They're not a fast thing to learn."

Hurley nodded. "I do a lot of reading."
