BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge- Saturday morning

[complexfemale]

As much as Maeve didn't want to admit that she was nervous, she really was. This was big. It was a new school, a new country, a second chance that she really didn't want to screw up.

She seemed to be the first one here- at least the glittery sign told her she was in the right place, and she was a little annoyed by it on principle- so she found a seat, piled her bags around her, and pulled out a book to read while she waited.

While she looked pretty engrossed in it, anytime she saw someone pass by her eyes flicked up like she was expecting them to come sit nearby.

Rude. He was everyone's type. "Oh, that's too bad. I'm very knowledgeable about dual cultivation." Reading was knowledge, and he'd read quite a few of Nie Huaisang's "pretty lady" (and gentleman) books on the subject.

Wei Wuxian sensed it would be easy to trick this boy into something, but easy wasn't very fun and the guy seemed nice. He wasn't sure what the boy was doing with his hand, but it seemed like a greeting, so Wei Wuxian put his hands together in front of him, right hand still holding his flute. "Wei Ying, courtesy name Wuxian," he said, then added, "You can call me Wei Wuxian."

Troy didn't know what Wei Wuxian was doing with his hands now, but it seemed formal and important, and so he tried to mimic as best he could, even without a flute, as he responded cautiously in kind. "Troy Barnes," he said, and he didn't know what a courtesy name was so he hoped he could skip that part. "You can call me T-Bone."

He thought about Butt Soup because it was funnier, but this dude was really fancy, so T-Bone felt a better choice.

"T-Bone, do you know anything about this school?" he asked. "All I know is that it's 'non-traditional'."

"I know that there's no parents," which for a point he was selling a lot was something he was going to find out wasn't so great after pretty much the first night, "that it's on an island, and that there's no football." Which was more than what Wei Wuxian had apparently known, so that was a little new and novel, knowing more about something than someone. "But that's about it."

Wei Wuxian didn't have parents, or parental figures, anymore, so he was just not going to dwell on that one. "What's football?" he asked instead.
