Week Eighteen: Friday Who: Evelyn and Xander Where: Music Club, and then the Pit When: Friday Late Afternoon/Evening
It had been a busy week at school, which was probably a good thing in the end. Lyn preferred to be occupied than not. And she'd met some interesting new people, and that was saying the least. Last night had been so relaxing though, especially after all the activity of the festival the day before that. She'd had the chance to indulge in a bath. The water had been cool, a nice and stark contrast to the recent weather. She had drifted off with the gentle laps of the water up to her chest. The book she had brought with her was forgotten as she dozed in and out.
Even so, when she was able to tuck herself in that night from her bathing, she found her dreams became a little more than they were before. Truly as if she had drifted outside of herself, and when she awoke she didn't exactly feel rested. As if she would have done as well just staying up all night. So vivid. It felt so real. She was half-distracted most of the day in class, and tired to the point that she was tempted to beg off. But the day actually went by fairly fast. And who couldn't muster the energy to at least get through the last day of classes for the week?
The music club meeting at the end of the day went on as planned. After the 'business' at hand she smiled and nodded as everyone else began to filter out, getting ready for their own weekends. And meanwhile Lyn looked across the room to the one other person that had planned on lingering as well. A bright red blush touched her cheeks as she actually watched Xander for the first time the entire meeting. It wasn't that she'd deliberately avoided him, but she was careful not to gaze at him too closely.
Finally, she stood, picking herself up as she moved over to him. Even so, she couldn't hide the yawn that came unbidden to her lips. "Excuse me," she said not wanting him to think it reflected on the activity at hand. She wasn't bored, just a little tired. "So. Did you finish that sheet music? Or have you been too occupied since Monday to really care," she smiled.
