Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Whatever you do don't get me started if you don't want a lecture." he laughed slightly as the kettle reached the boil, pouring the water out of the pot and placing in there a tea bag, filling it with the boiling liquid, Simon replaced the lid on the pot and placed the tea cozy atop it, "But anyways, what if anything would you like to talk about?" he asked, leaning on the counter, mentally counting 5 minutes.

Simon began pouring milk into the cups and poured the tea into the recipticals, applying 2 sugars as per Lucian's request, he stirred the tea and passed it over to him, all the while sipping at his own "Huh? Pre-occupied with what? Pray tell." Simon said, resealing the sugar container as he did so.

"Well, she can only learn to fend for herself by doing so, no-one can learn anything by having it done for them. Just put a handful of faith in your sisters abilities, and field whatever you KNOW she can't handle." Simon said, he was curious as to who Lucian's sister was, but decided it best not to ask, facts would produce themsleves as time goes on, or at least he hoped they would, "S'allright mate, we're room mates, I would've found out sooner or later regardless, besides, this is a school, whatever you're not around to field, some good samaritan or a teacher should." Simon said, again trying to calm Lucains nerves, "He must not be used to having so little control, I just hope that his sister doesn't go through a rebellious phase, that'd probably give him hell..." Simon thought, sipping on his tea again, "Thats gonna get cold if you don't start on it." he said pointing at Lucian's cup of tea.

"S'all good, now, I s'pose we should un-pack, liven up the place a little, whad'ya say?" Simon asked, he felt he'd done some portion of good for Lucian with that, "Lets see... the console can sit under the TV, the controllers will have to live close by and then theres the matter of the games and movies..." Simon mumbled, noting where he'd be placing some of his possesions, of course he'd ahve to negotiate with Lucian about some of the things, but he felt he'd be reasonably un-contested when it came to consoles, then again, Lucian could surprise.

"Reasonably, believe it or not I'm quite fond of the fantasy genre, its cunningly amusing how close yet how far humans are from understanding how we work, and those that know don't get the same sort of attention as they should, whilst everyone who doesn't know gets money flung at them like roses to a bulls fighter... and there I go again." Simon said, laughing sheepishly, his hand behind his head, "Anyways, the Elder Scrolls series has been one of my personal favorites... but ah, I'm assuming that you know, and/or care about such things." Simon said, he downed the rest of his tea as he looked about the place some more, wondering if some pictures would liven it up, as the room did look very blank, like a canvas that needed a certain something... that only time could provide.

Simon chuckled, he felt that he and Lucian would get on just fine, placing his cup in the sink he fetched his suit case, removig the console from it and placing it on the chest of drawers beneath the TV, deciding to hook it up later, noticing space in there he placed his games there, in a similar manner tto how one would put books on a shelf, aligned vertically with the spine facing outwards, he fished out the controllers and laid them next to the console, doing the same with the cables, having completed that he half sealed the case for the return journey to his room, in which he set about putting his clothes in the closets and his belongings where he felt they should sit, a few action figures here and there on the end tables, a drawing from a dear friend mounted on the wall in place of the usual mountain range picture, a few books placed in the end table drawers, Simon shook his bag, making sure he'd left nothing in there, when a small portrait fell out, picking up the frame, he mentally cursed himself for forgetting, pulling out the stand in its back he placed it on an end table, an image of him and his family, George pulling a stupid face, he and his mother laughing at dads reaction, they'd always been a bizare bunch, but he liked the photo, so they gave it to him, "Heh, if I recall correctly my reasoning was, "I don't want to remember us as we weren't."" he mumbled, not daring to overestimate the sound retaining qualities of dormitory walls, having finally unpacked everything this time he shoved his suitcase in the far back closet and flumped on the bed, just laying back, waiting for something interesting to happen.

Simon rolled his eyes, but he did feel like he wanted more tea also, so why not kill two birds with one stone? Simon jumped off his bed from his laying position, opening the door and heading for the kitchen, he reclaimed his cup from the sink, "Alright." he said as he poured his own, he waited by the tea pot for Lucian to arrive wit hth recipticle for the tea.

Simon rifled through his pocket taking out a rather crumpled piece of paper "Lets see shall we? First off... Flying, next we have Magical spells, after that is... magical theory, then business, then we have illusions, potions and film study, thats my time table more or less, now, lets hear yours." he said, all the while pouring Lucians tea and applying the two sugars, he stirred it and slid it over to Lucian he half sat half leaned on the counter as he waited for Lucian to reply.
