Don't be so scared to take a second for reflection
Who: Harley and OPEN
Where: UoM campus
When: Around lunchtimeish
Normally, when Harley started the semester, there was always a sense of happiness that accompanied it. He might not be super thrilled with all the schoolwork, this was true, but at least he got to see all his friends and he knew it wouldn't be long before someone threw a party. It might even be him, he wouldn't put it past himself, it all depended on finances at this point. And whether or not his father was going to be out of the house for the weekend, because his dad put a cramp in anyone's style. Having a former Hells Angel for a dad did that. This semester, though, everything seemed different. A lot of people were hurt because of the bombing, and worse, there were faces that just weren't there anymore. Even the bouncy riflebird had a hard time dealing with that. Harley was trying, though, and he liked to think that counted for something in the long run.
For now, though, he had a break in between classes and food was in order. Since it was Harley, that meant he was going to get a salad and barely eat half of it, but whatever worked. He got points for making the effort, anyway, and he blamed his eating habits on the fact that he was, literally, part bird. Not seeing anyone he recognized right off, Harley shrugged and grabbed a seat at a nearby empty table. Maybe he'd text Gabby and see if she was feeling any better, because he hated knowing she was so sad and hurt. He might not be able to make her heal up any faster, but at least she'd know she wasn't alone. Alone was the worst feeling in the world. Harley would know, which was why he tried to avoid it at all costs. He was playing away on his phone, answering texts and then playing Bejeweled, because that game really was crack, and he didn't even notice that someone else had joined him.
