The dilemma of the high school wizard: tedious physics homework, or tedious physics wizardries?

Nita is sitting at a table, gazing undecided between her manual and her textbook.

Eventually, manual wins (lunch hours are for homework, right?). She pulls out a notebook and pen, and starts making notes in the Speech. Occasionally she refers to the manual, bringing up this diagram in 3-D or checking that conjugation.

She knows a little of what happened. Not all, but enough to go on.

"But that's not dangerous busy, right?"

Jack gives her a slight, reassuring smile. "No. Just picking-up-the-pieces busy."

"Mmmm-hmm. So how's your family doing? I met your dad in here a while ago, by the way."

She grins. "You did? They're good.

". . . My life is boring. Sheesh." She holds up a hand. "Give me a minute to savor it."

"Yeah, I know the feeling. Enjoy it while you can," Jack says, with a bit of a laugh. "It never seems to stay quiet for long."

"You're telling me."

"Sure we're not somehow actually related?" he asks, wryly.

"That would hurt my head a lot," she tells him, solemn, "so I'm voting no."

She considers. "Second cousin?"

[identity profile] action-antihero.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't even know my second cousins, so I'm not sure that would fit."

"Sure it would! It would fit the long-lost thing perfectly."

"Though my family isn't prone to having a lot of siblings on either side. Besides, if we were related then you really would be stuck with me," he says, with a small smile.
