[it's already some time into the afternoon and Shusei's retreated to the owlery for some peace and quiet to read. it's not a class day, so really he wouldn't be missing out on anything and he's never liked spending time in Slytherin's common room regardless. this way he could also avoid the bustle of dinner in the great hall]

[dieinafire]

Shusei!

[ His cloak swishes out as onlookers stare for a few seconds before averting their eyes. ]

The hell are you doing here?

[andwatchmeburn]

[looks up almost before Hotsuma barges in]

Reading.

[dieinafire]

Read — You could do that later!

[andwatchmeburn]

Why? It's a free day.

[dieinafire]

Because it's time to eat! What have I said about skipping meals, huh?

[andwatchmeburn]

... stop yelling. You'll scare the owls.

[dieinafire]

[ He looks contrite for a few seconds. ]

Ah. My bad.

[andwatchmeburn]

[the owls seems to settle a bit at the silence again]

It's okay.

[dieinafire]

You still shouldn't be skipping dinner though!

[andwatchmeburn]

I wasn't hungry.

[dieinafire]

You're never hungry! And that's no excuse! Your body needs to eat three meals a day.

[andwatchmeburn]

[you're making a scene]

I had breakfast...

[dieinafire]

That was hours ago!

[andwatchmeburn]

[closes his book, and moves to get up]

Fine.

[dieinafire]

[ He blinks. He hadn't expected that to work. ]

[andwatchmeburn]

[he knows Hotsuma wouldn't really back down... besides people are whispering around them, and he doubts it's anything nice]

What?

[dieinafire]

[ Hotsuma has noticed, of course, his shoulders stiffening, but he doesn't budge. ]

Nothin'. Was expecting that to be harder, s'all.

[andwatchmeburn]

[raises an eyebrow at him, but moves to walk past him]

Come on, then.

[dieinafire]

Tch. All right.

You better hope there's some left.

[andwatchmeburn]

I'm sure there will be.

[they feed an entire castle]

...did you eat?

[dieinafire]

Yeah, I had a few sandwiches before comin' to get you because I'm not a moron.

[andwatchmeburn]

[huffs at the moron comment]

Good.

[dieinafire]

Obviously.
