Margaery and...

Margaery was sat on the UC Irvine campus eating an apple while looking over her notes. Her lesson had been cancelled due to illness of her professor but there was little point in going anywhere as she had a russian class in an hour with Professor Weir. So since it was a nice day she had decided to sit outside and use her time productively instead. There were a lot of new faces around the university since the new first years had begun and she was already feeling the work increase in her second year though she found she was thriving on it. She only hoped that feeling would last.

Jem's first day of classes went off better than he'd expected, considering he was coming in after classes had started, but the fact that he'd been in contact with his professors before he moved made things much smoother. Despite being prepared there was a certain difference between University in England as opposed to College in the states, but he was sure that he'd get the hang out it in no time. If Jem was one thing, it was resilient. He was now walking across campus, new books in his arms when his toe caught on a loose piece of cement and the top book slid to the ground, "Bloody hell." Stopping, he contemplated how he was going to retrieve the fallen book without dropping the other books in his arms.

	Margaery looked up from her notes when she heard the very British voice and saw the young man's predicament. Hoping up from the grass she was sat on she moved to help him, picking up the book and popping it back on top of his pile. "Do you need a hand?" she offered with a smile.

The last thing Jem had expected was for someone to offer to help him, but he was grateful that someone had. "Thank you," He adjusted the stack of books as best he could so that his arms would 't start to go to sleep, "I think what I really need is a bag. I suppose I'll have to figure out which box I packed that in when I get home," While Jem had spent the weekend getting settled in at his cousin's house, he hadn't completely unpacked just yet. "I'm James Carstairs, by the way, but most everyone calls me Jem." It had been his mother who had first started calling him Jem and after awhile it just started sounding more right than James.

	"A bag would definitely be a help" Margaery agreed slight amusement in her voice, "I'm Margaery Tyrell, pleased to meet you Jem" she said, "You are obviously new here, what are you studying?" she asked, taking some of the books from him so he didn't have to balance them all.

	"I am. I only arrived over the weekend." Jem said, thanking her for the help as she took some of the books, "Music. I can't play to save my life, but I'm hoping to become a conductor." A few years earlier Jem wouldn't have spoken so openly with a complete stranger, but now he had a much easier time talking to other people. "Do you attend classes here as well?"

	"Oh how wonderful. Is it harder to do if you do not play or do most conductors not play?" It was an area Margaery knew little about though she enjoyed listening to concert orchestra's and the like. "I am in my second year here, studying law and languages" she told him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I don't know about other people, but I learned to read music because I wanted to be a conductor." On more than one occasion Jem had wished that he could play an instrument of his own, but for whatever reason he simply couldn't play, which did seem odd considering he was able to read music. Either way, he was working towards something he enjoyed doing, so he wasn't too upset about it.

"That's impressive. What other languages can you speak?" Jem was only able to speak one other language, which was Mandarin since his mother was Chinese.

	Margaery nodded, "Like a calling then" she smiled, she hadn't meant to sound accusing and hoped she hadn't. She just found it interesting and wanted to learn about something she had no knowledge of. "Swedish is my first language" she told him, "But I also speak Russian and Finnish" (Reply to this) (Parent)
