Cally walks into the bar looking damp all over. Her brown hair drips slightly onto her shoulders as she moves.

She goes to the bar and orders a large cup of tea. She then begins to make her way toward the fireplace so she can effectively dry off.

Cally smiles.

"I think it would be nice to room with a family member. You'd at least know in advance what you were in for. And you could always blackmail them in to keeping their half of the room clean and doing their share of the rest of the cleaning. I roomed with my best friend, Jen, and it was very nearly like family. I would have taken her as a flat-mate, but she wanted to live closer to her boyfriend." She shrugs.

"You'd always know in advance, yes," James says, wryly, "but that doesn't make it any more pleasant. It wouldn't be any sort of change, you see?"

Cally nods.

"That's true. And college is about change."

She finishes her tea.

"It's getting late for me, I'm afraid and there's some reading back at my flat for me to do. It was nice meeting you James." She stands and grins at him. "Good luck with the ladies."

And she turns and walks out the door into her flat.
