Who: Ariel and OPEN! What: Ariel's trying to be more social, which for her means sitting out in public in case someone wants to pop by and say hello to her Where: the common room When: Friday evening Status: incomplete Note: reposted in the hopes that someone will tag it up :-X I hate to see an open thread go wasted.
Ariel sat in the common room, curled up under a blanket with her worn down copy of The Odyssey open in her lap. She was almost to the part where Homer and his crew ran into the sirens but...she didn't like that part. Actually, she could never read that part, no matter what she did. Dr. Richards would probably want to know that, but she wasn't about to tell him. Not without him prying it out of her like a pearl from an oyster. She pouted a bit, her fingers running up and down the spine of the book as she thought about being here, at Cheshire Crossing. It wasn't so bad, there were nice people after all. But she missed her sisters, her parents. She wondered when they would come to see her, if they would ever want to see her again. What if that was why they shipped her off, because they were tired of trying to talk to her, tired of trying to pry things out of her. She let out a loud huff of a sigh, now pouting down at the text, trying very hard to concentrate on it, even though her mind would rather wander elsewhere.
