fearlessly | (no subject)

[ it's raining, but alisaie does not mind. she likes the rain. it brings to mind peaceful, private moments, times during her childhood when she would be left alone and unbothered. it reminds her of calm, and tranquility, and safety. it's also an excellent time to read a book, one of her favorite activities. the steady fall of rain beats down on the roof and against the window on which she is leaning back, comfortable on her bed, shoes off and legs tucked up beneath her.

alisaie, unsurprisingly, has been here for a few days already, having arrived early to give herself time to unpack, decompress, and adjust to the space. she'll have a roommate this year, something she is not at all excited about, but it is what it is. given her family's influence, she could have gotten a single room, but that would've made her stand out even more and so instead she has chosen to attend normally, and bring no more attention to herself than necessary. even if it means having to share her space. with any luck, she'll land herself a social, popular roommate who is never in their room unless absolutely necessary, and she won't have to worry too much about feeling cramped.

while the space looks lived in, there's still a few boxes on her desk left to unpack, her suitcase half-full and leaning against the closet, but her books already sit in her shelves, filling every possible space without spilling onto her would-be roommate's side, though fitting them all has certainly been.. a challenge. her desk, too, is piled with notebooks, binders, textbooks, alchemy supplies, mining samples.. look, she's taking a lot of classes?? like, every class. notably, too, her rapier and crystal focus lean against the wall beside her bed, well polished and sharpened, cared for, and a cup of tea sits cooling on her bedside table, atop, you guessed it, more books. it's a theme.

when you are deep into a book, however, time tends to slip away from you, and alisaie has not noticed how much time has passed until suddenly the doorknob is turning. her breath catches in surprise, and she sits up straight in bed - gods, is it already late afternoon?? she didn't leave herself any time to mentally prepare to live with a stranger!! ]

[ despite herself, alisaie finds that she is smiling. ]

Yes, you must.

[ if that's what it takes to get prompta motivated then, well, she'll take it. alisaie stands from the bed again at last now, however, and slips her feet into the shoes beside her bed. ]

Anyroad, I've a meeting with my white magicks professor to discuss my upcoming workload, so um..

[ it's still weird to think that she won't be living along anymore, and she'll come back to a space that's shared but, well, time to get used to it. ]

Do you.. want anything while I am out?

[ that's what people ask their housemates right ]

[ If it's a weird thing to ask, Prompta certainly doesn't know it, because she's never had a roommate either. Instead, she's touched by Alisaie's thoughtfulness, smiling though she shakes her head. ]

Nah, think I'm okay for now. But if you find any photo-op worthy spots around the school, let me know! Can't wait to start snapping pics of this place.

[ As she says this, she unloads her camera from her trunk, place it with reverence on her nightstand. ]

I'll, uh, make sure to have everything put away by the time you're back! Don't wanna leave a mess, or anything.

[ She's not necessarily the most orderly person, but she doesn't want to give Alisaie the impression she's a slob either! ]

[ oh good, alisaie didn't really want to like, go to starbucks.. what a relief. she shoulders her heavy bag. ]

Don't worry about it. I'll probably be awhile.

[ and it's clear she's not like.. super neat anyway. the room isn't a mess, but her books are in an untidy pile on the desk, her bed is unmade, and there's a pair of socks on the floor. oops. ]

All right, well, don't wait up.

[ smell u later nerd ]
