Introducing someone with sometimes questionable morals.

[gizmoe]

Ravenclaw Common Room
[ It's the middle of the night when Gareki climbs out of bed and slides his feet into a pair of warm slippers. The castle's not frigged, he's felt worse, but it's enough that he pulls the blanket off his bed and drags it with him as he makes his way to the common room. Quietly, he flops into one of the old worn out sofa's and throws the cover over himself, only to stare a the glowing embers of the fire.

So much for that idea. And he left his wand by his bed. ]

Tch. Insomnia could have hit at a better time.

[ Y'know. Like a time he didn't have to wake up and take one of the classes he hated. ]

Library
[ Gareki is no stranger to the library. If anyone knows him, they know that's the first place to look for him when they want him. If they know him even better, they know his hiding spot is the furthest table away from people, where he could read in peace. Well. Most of the time.

Today is no different. Gareki is currently reading one of the smuggled restricted area books, not particularly caring if anyone found him. It's not like he couldn't use a confudus charm on them, and not like he hadn't spelled the book's cover he was reading to look harmless. ]

Great Hall
[ Among the other ravenclaws, he sits eating dinner. Well, more like picking and choosing what he wants to eat. It's not that Gareki is picky, but that despite the food being good, he's still not as used to, even after years of acclimating, things like pumpkin juice and Flobberworm fritters.

Honestly, he'd love a good burger. ]

Oi, how the hell can you eat this? [ He's pointing to a fitter. ] It's disgusting.

Comments

[gizmoe]

[ Gareki squints slightly to read the title and laughs softly in amusement. ]

Not my cup of tea, but if you're into it.

[ His own favorite kind of book was a learning one since he didn't care much for literature. He'd rather have a skill set, than a mind full of useless crap. ]

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth smirks softly.]

I'm interested in perception and this gives me the reader's perception. There is a lot that you can see in a person even from simple sentences.

[What really fascinates Seth is people which is why he's usually found with a book or people watching around school.]

[gizmoe]

You are the reader.

[ Because yes he feels the need to point that out. ]

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth shrugs.]

Yeah but what sort of person buys this book.

[Besides Seth.]

[gizmoe]

Weirdo's that believe in self help.

[ Besides Seth, yep. ]

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth looks at the cover curiously.]

This is a self help book?

[He really hasn't been paying all that much attention to it and his interest in the book begins to dwindle. He keeps it on his lap but that this point he's only pretending to read it.]

Why not tell me what's keeping you up? Unless you want to learn more about my reading habits.

[He smirks lightly at the boy.]

[gizmoe]

I already told you it was nothing important.

[ Gareki pulls the blanket higher, tucking his chin into the top. He concentrates on looking into the fire, watching it roar and dance. Truthfully, he wasn't lying. It was just a case of an awake mind unwilling to let him go back to sleep. ]

[unbridledtiger]

I didnt ask if it was important.

[Seth looks at the fire feeling a little bored now that he's lost interest in his book.]

[gizmoe]

[ There are others. It's Ravenclaw, after all. Kids leave books all over the place. ]

That's supposed to mean it's not worth talking about.

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth seems to have found another book because he pulls out his wand and summons one of the books from the table to his lap.]

I think most topics are worth talking about.

[gizmoe]

[ Gareki closes his eyes in quiet contemplation. That was sometimes the thing that bothered him about his house. They could be too nosy, and he wasn't one to be talkative. Especially not about himself or anything pertaining to himself.

He exhales softly, opening his deep blue eyes to level on the crackling fire again. ]

You must get bored often, then.

[unbridledtiger]

I do.

[Seth won't press further if Gareki doesn't want to say anything. He's alreayd found a new book to read after all.]

[gizmoe]

[ He makes a quiet little sound that says he's not surprised. ]

Why do you bother?

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth shrugs.]

Being bored isn't fun. I want to learn as much as I can.

[His pale yellow eyes flash towards the other boy.]

About everything.

[gizmoe]

[ Not an uncommon answer in Ravenclaw, that's for sure. It's the house of nerds, after all. ]

Good luck with that. If 'everything' is all inclusive, you're going to have an interesting time with the muggle world.

[unbridledtiger]

AH, yeah. I've been around there. I really like cars.

[Just saying that cars were pretty neat.]

[gizmoe]

Wizarding cars are more interesting.

[ He leaves it at that, though. Whether Seth wanted to figure out more about them on his own or question Gareki as to why, that's his choice.

Gareki pulls the cover from around his upper body and begins to fold it where he sits. Maybe it was obvious, but he was going to get up and leave soon. ]

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth watches him for a moment and then nods his head.]

I'll look into it then.

[He knows wizards use brooms and such but he hadn't seen a wizard use a car.]
