For Lapis.

[alela]

[Grora needed coffee in the mornings.

So, it seemed, did everyone else in the city.

Standing with her cup of coffee in her hand (espresso), she scanned the room for an empty spot. Full, full, chair with a handbag on it... Looked like there was only one open seat, across from a girl she didn't know.

Well, she was going to have to sit somewhere. Grora approached the girl and tried to look friendly and not super-tired.]

Hey, is this spot taken?

[alela]

Oh, neat! Any focus in particular?

[Grora's a theology major. For some reason she doesn't look like one.]

[oneirism]

[Lapis blinks in surprise at the question, but the lineface expression she had softens a bit now.]

... W-well, the art and rituals of ancient cultures, though I plan to focus on mainly on ancient Asia next year. [Okay she should ask about her, she's so bad at talking to people-] Um, are you at the university?

[alela]

Yeah, I'm a theology major there. People always say I don't look like it - it's the eyepatch, right?

[oneirism]

[Blink, and then she giggles quietly.]

... Yeah, I think it's the eyepatch that does it.

[alela]

Thought so. But I can't afford both eye surgery and my tuition, there's just no way.

[Siiigh, and sipping her coffee.]
