Study Hall -- Tuesday, November 15th

The doors to the study hall have been propped open, and the puppies and kittens have taken to bounding up to newcomers and rubbing up against everybody's legs for petting ~~and stealth cybernetic bioenhancement checks.~~ The pool table isn't in the room, but there are decks of cards and chess boards on the front desk for any students done with their schoolwork for the day.

Sarah sits at the front desk playing a handheld electronic Battleship game. Needless to say, she's kicking ass.

Sonia hasn't caught wind of the announcement yet, and it's in a rather pleasant mood that she heads into study hall. She gives Paige a small wave when she sees her.

Paige waves her over with a small smile, moving her bag out of the chair next to her.

Sonia takes the empty seat and returns Paige's smile. "Hey- how're you doing?"

She sighs "not too bad, I spoke to Geoff yesterday and everything's okay between, us I just wish I knew what had got into him last week. He's blaming him self for eveything of course, even though most of what he said was true, well what he said to me at least. And I think I'm getting my powers bound," she adds casually

"how are you?"

Sonia nods. "I talked to him, too- he seems in much better spirits, but yes, I'm a little vurried that he's not going to let up on himself. But just being able to talk to him really helped. Yesterday vas...quite a good day, really." There is the hint of a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

At Paige's last comment, she raises an eyebrow, looking mildly confused. "Your powers...bound? So they vould be unusuable?"

She nods "I'll still be able to orb I think, since that has nothing to do with me being a witch, but...Tara thinks it's safer until I'm used to them a bit more and after what happened with the whole possession thing I figured it was better to safe than sorry, plus I figured it'd be nice to be normal for a while." she bites her tongue thinking about what James had said to her.

"But yeah I'll not be able to cast spells or anything and if anything did try to take over body again, well I couldn't cause as much trouble. It won't be permentant, just til I think I'm able to handle the responsibility of them"

"Anyway, what else happened yesterday?" she asks

"Hmm. I never realized you could actually do something like that. Bind your powers, I mean. How...how long have you had them? Or at least, been in control of them?"

Her eyes brighten a bit, and again she smiles warmly. "Vell, after I talked to Geoff, I stayed in the shop for a vhile to get some work done. We had a visitor- Aaron Boone, have you met him? He's new to town, working at Red's? Vell, I met him the night before, and we spent a good vhile talking- turns out he's interested in illuminations, and wanted to see some of my vurk."

"I've only been able to use my powers for a few months, well since my parents died" she pauses biting her lip "but apparently they can be bound by another witch so that's what I'm going to do."

She smiles at Sonia "no I've not met him, but that's good having someone who's interested in your illuminations I mean, I guess there aren't that many people around her you can talk to about that sort of thing. So what's he like?"

"Maybe...being able to get used to them, or practice them in a...less stressful setting might help. Outside of Fandom High, I mean. Being here, and dealing vith everything else on top of those new powers...vell, I can see how it might give you trouble."

She grins, leaning back in her chair. "Yes, I vas...rather surprised, too. It seems like such an obscure topic, so to find somevun who knew what I vos talking about...vell, it was nice. He's an inker at Red's tattoo parlor- I think he said he vas coming here from New York? And it might be hard to miss him- he's tall"- she gestures a foot above her head- "longish dark hair. ~~Nice smile.~~"

She smiles "yeah that sounds pretty cool, I'll have to keep my eye out for him, you know I used a bit, but I didn't notice an art course here, maybe you could teach me some stuff if you're ever bored or whatever"

((why did I think it was Hugh Jackman!? Also P in canon is an artist, not me))

Sonia looks pleasantly surprised. "You're an artist? You should've said! Have you got anything here vith you? Er, that is, if you don't mind showing?"

Her smile widens, and she rests her chin in her palm. "Heh, maybe ve should start an unofficial club- although... I think there actually is an art class offered here. Haven't checked into it, though, but maybe next semester ve could sign up? And I'd be happy to teach you, though I don't know how much I could do." She shrugs. "Most of vhat I know is self-taught and from observation, though."

Paige hands over her note book containing some pretty good sketches of Lancelot and one of Sawyer sleeping.

"Yeah we should, I think it started after I was already taking about 10 classes though, which is probably why I forgot about it! I mainly do life stuff, but I've not been doing much since I got here. The thing you did for Draco was brilliant by the way, I meant to thank you sooner, but it just of slipped my mind, sorry."

"Vurking from life is probably the best vay to improve- it's difficult, but it's dynamic, and interesting- especially if you have good subject matter." Sonia takes the notebook, gazing over the drawings with interest. "Paige, these are great! How you rendered Lancelot's fur, it looks so soft...Do you have any more?"

She continues to look over the drawings while she talks. "Yes, I think I had the same problem. Hopefully, things vill be a little easier to figure out this time around."

"Oh, you're quite velcome! I really enjoyed vurking on that- and I had a tremendous amount of help from Geoff. Vhat did Draco think of it?"

She smiles at Sonia praise, she'd not really done much for a while "I have few of Maia and well a book full of drawings of Geoff,Oh and there be some of the lake in the park in that one too. I generally do it to relax."

"and yes, he loved it, he said he gonna show it his mom, I figured it would be the sort of thing he'd like kinda regal, which I think is who Drac would like to be seen!"

"Aha...I suppose Geoff vould make a good subject, vhen he's really concentrating. These really are lovely Paige- I hope you'll keep up vith this?"

She laughs softly. "I'm afraid I don't know Draco very well, but I'll take your vurd for it."

She nods "yeah I plan to, I mean Lancelot does make a pretty good muse!" she replies grinning, she looks at the pencil drawing of Sawyer and bites her lip, missing him

She sees Paige's gaze wander over the drawing, and her voice grows softer.

"Have you talked to him?"

She shakes her head, "well I saw him yesterday and well, he was being a jackass, as usual! He's just so bloody stubborn!"

"Mmm...vell, maybe tomorrow? And if not then, then the next day, or next veek. But if he loves you, he'll come around. It might take time, especially if his pride's been hurt."

She smirks, and shakes her head. "Sorry, I know I'm not being much help. I never was good vith this sort of thing..."

She smiles, "no you're right, don't tell anyone, but well I think we belong together, so we have to work it out right?"

((LJ's getting quite the beating tonight, I know I've kicked it a few times!))

She grins as well. "Oh Paige, that's so sweet...and I von't tell anyone. I hope you vurk things out, and soon." She laughs, a little wryly "...You know, there seems to be a high-level of drama running through this school lately....I only hope it doesn't compound vith final exams."

"Well I get the whole thing with Geoff seriously messed me up, not that it was his fault, but yeah I felt more equal with James, less like a fawning school girl!"

She sighs, before smiling at Sonia "well if everyone's suffering from the drama, I guess it'll affect the grade point average right so we'll be okay!" she pauses "yeah we'll be fine!" she says forcefully

She laughs. "I think I've managed to avoid the bulk of it- does that mean I have a shot at valedictorian?"

She nods laughing, "yeah probably!"
