BWI Airport | Portalocity Lounge | Saturday Morning

Petra was so relieved to find the Portalocity lounge and a banner proclaiming 'Fandom High.' She was pretty sure that meant she was in the right place, even if she did seem to be the first one here, and it meant she could sit down and stop dragging her luggage (two large, new-looking suitcases and an extremely battered green leather overnight case with an Audrey Hepburn decal on top) all over the airport.

She picked out a chair with a good view of the door so she could see new arrivals and sat down with Holly Go-Overnightly in her lap, then pulled her phone out. All her friends were still asleep, no doubt, so texting was out, but surfing the web seemed like a good way to kill some time while she waited for other people to show up. She hoped she wasn't the only new student. That would be awkward.

"Not really, no." You needed to have hair in the first place to be able to shave it.

"Then why did you shave your head?" Lucrezia asked. "Aesthetic purposes? Symbolic ones? Pragmatic?"

"I didn't," Lex replied. "I've been bald since I was nine."

That got her attention. She drew closer, glancing at his head as if this was the most unexpected news she had heard all day.

"Were you ill?" she asked. Followed by, as if this was in any way a normal or appropriate question, "May I touch it?"

"I got caught in a meteor shower." Since she didn't seem to have recognised him already, elaborating further was hardly going to give the game away. "Afterwards, I woke up like this."

"What?" People tended not to ask to do that either.

"You were struck by a meteor?" Lucrezia asked. "And your hair fell out?"

People here were thoroughly confusing.

It wasn't like it happened every day where Lex was from either. "Yes."
