BWI Airport, Portalocity Port, Saturday Morning

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Timing had worked in Bruce's favor this morning. After a long overnight flight from Japan, he was really early for the shuttle to Fandom. That was according to plan. This way he'd get to see how people came into the room marked "Fandom High," whether they were nervous, or excited, or annoyed at the very thought of having to go to school.

Those first impressions didn't necessarily mean anything, but Bruce felt they often gave a good insight into how his new classmates would react in a stressful situation. You never knew when that kind of thing might come in handy.

That surprised a laugh out of Fraser and he shook his head. "I wouldn't know, Mr. DeTamble. Thankfully, I don't tend to hear that much about that part of their lives."

And that got Henry to laugh, too. "Probably for the best. They deserve their privacy, no matter how tempted we might be to invade it."

"Though some are quite willing to share with you," Fraser said, looking in Wade's direction. "Whether they be student or teacher, some people are very open to sharing."

And now Henry was curious in a sick way as he followed Fraser's gaze. "Ah. I shall do my best to avoid asking leading questions," he decided. "I'm married, and we have a little girl. That's about as much as I'm inclined to share -- will I seem horribly closed off?"

Well, he could TMI with the best of them, but that was when he was talking to someone he would like to sleep with. Fraser didn't fit the bill.

"Not at all," Fraser assured him, shaking his head. "While there are many people willing to share, there are just as many that don't. I'm engaged and have eight dogs. That's about as much as most people but my closest friends know."

"Eight?" Henry repeated. "Impressive. How'd you end up with that many?"

He'd never kept pets -- it seemed impractical, and Clare had allergies -- but he liked them when they belonged to other people.

"I had one myself, she had six and we've added two more," he explained. "It seems like a lot but several of them are small so you could almost count them as half a dog."

Or not. Fraser's sense of humor wasn't the best.

Henry smirked anyhow, mostly in sympathy. "So they're like ... miniature dogs. Like sliders instead of hamburgers."

"Exactly that," Fraser said, laughing. "Dief is usually with me but I left him with Robin today. He's a full grown hamburger. And he's quite the whiner sometimes."
