BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday morning [05/04].

[howareyanow]

"What the ever-loving fuck is a Portalocity Lounge?"

Apparently, it was precisely the place where Wayne was standing, squared shoulders, thumbs in his belt loops, frowning up at the softest, most sparkliest banner he had ever seen...and he'd een to at least a baker's dozen of Dary's traditional soft birthday parties, so he knew a soft fucking banner when he saw one.

"That," he stated, to no one in particular, especially since he seemed to be the first one there (if you're not five minutes early, you're five minutes late, bud), "is fucking 10-ply."

But it was what it was. No going back now, ain't no reason to get excited, he supposed. Pitter-patter. So he turned his head sharply to one side of the lounge, eyed the chairs against the wall, and went to have a seat, one hand on his knee, tohe other around the smallest cup of coffee he could get, and settled in to wait.

While it hadn't been deliberate, the longer Karolina stayed within close proximity to Anakin, the more she realized she probably looked really normal to most of the new students.

She was pretty glad she'd opted not to float and glow for this trip.

"There's a map of the island," she said helpfully, smiling at the girl. "Hi, I'm Karolina. I'm the guidance counselor at your new school."

"Good to meet you, Ms..."

And then Janet stopped, because years of her upbringing meant she absolutely could not call her guidance counselor Karolina.

"Dean," Karolina supplied easily, even if she was shaking her head a little right afterwards. "But just Karolina is fine, really."

She was much more used to hearing 'Ms. Dean' from people who were trying to exert authority over her than from people who considered her an authority figure.

"Good to meet you, Ms. Dean," Janet said, honestly a little surprised that that made her feel a little better right now. "I'm Janet Kim. I'm one of the new students. I mean, obviously. You probably know the old ones by now. And we're at an airport."

Shhh, sweetie.

Karolina smiled warmly at her, if not without a tiny hint of amusement. It was pretty obviously not mean-spirited, though. "Well, you might also have been someone who's not even going to Fandom and got confused," she pointed out. "And now we've established you're exactly in the right place. Nice to mee you, Janet."
