BWI Portalocity Terminal [Saturday Morning]

Rather than fly from Philadelphia to Baltimore, Eric's parents had given him a lift. They had offered to drive him directly to the school, but he told them he would rather meet the group at the airport and take the shuttle. That way he'd get an early glimpse at all the hot girls he was sure would be going to his new school.

So now he was relaxing in the lounge, drinking a soda and waiting. It wasn't going to college, but it would do.

"I've never actually met a miniature giant space hamster before," Summer admitted, somewhat amused by the encounter.

"Well then!" said Minsc with a laugh, happy to hear such things so that he could have the opportunity to introduce her to one. "Allow me! Boo!" He held out the little hamster. "Meet the nice lady! Nice lady! This is Boo! Now you've met one!"

"Please, call me Summer," she added, looking from Minsc to Boo. "It's very nice to meet you, Boo." She might have even attempted to shake one of his small paws.

And, oh look at that! Boo moved just out of the way of the handshake. Sure, Minsc had moved him out of the way, but, really, they didn't need to get into things going bad because someone'd gone and touched Boo. Minsc just ambled right on as if nothing had been moved and there weren't little pawshakes being denied.

"Well, then, Lady Summer!" he said. "Are you excited for your journey to Fandom High?"

Summer would have apologized had she known not to touch Boo. Thankfully, it was easily avoided and she didn't really notice.

"I am, yes," Summer nodded enthusiastically. "It's my first time teaching, so it's certain to be quite the adventure."

"Teaching!" said Minsc. "I do that too! What is it that you are teaching, Lady Summer?"

Summer grinned brightly. "I'm teaching Oceanography. What will you be teaching?" She was kind of thrilled to meet a fellow colleague.

"Magical creatures!" Minsc informed her eagerly. "We're doing faeries!"

But then his big shoulders fell a moment and he shook his head ruefully. "But Oceanography. I do not think I know what that is!"

"That sounds like a great class," Summer replied, having always been fascinated by fairy myths.

"It's a class centering around the ocean and what lives beneath the waves," she explained. "Among other things."

"So you work with creature, too, Lady Summer!" Minsc noted happily. "That is excellent! What other things, though, may I ask? I must admit, I am very resolutely a creature of land, myself, and know little about the great blue deep!"

"That I do," she nodded. "Not to worry. There are still things I personally don't know about ocean," Summer admitted. "It's still a bit of a mystery. I also study the wave currents and how the weather may affect the ocean tides. Even the moon has an affect on the ocean."

That last part still intrigued Summer even though she knew how it worked. She'd always been fascinated by the ocean and even though she'd unearthed some mysteries about it, her fascination hadn't decreased even a little.

"Plus!" Minsc, who had very little to actually add to the conversation about oceans but still wanted to try very hard to offer intelligent imput, said. "The ocean is very pretty!"

"That it is," Summer agreed, laughing lightly. "Especially at night, when the moon's reflection hits it just right." Yeah, she'd had a couple nights like those while out on the open sea. Quite a romantic setting.

And your sword gleams from the moonlight just as you lift it up before sending it cleaving through the skull of a howling gnoll...

Minsc gave a sigh.

"Yes," he mused. "Even a Rashemi like myself can appreciate it's beauty! It is a very good thing that we're on an island, too, if you are so fond of the sea, Lady Summer."
