Fifth floor common room [evening]

[rilla_myrilla]

Rilla had not turned the television on when she'd come into the common room. She was far too engrossed in the magazine she'd just discovered.

Look out, world. Rilla Blythe had discovered Cosmo quizzes.

If only she understood half of the things the questions were asking about!

William, meanwhile, wandered in to the room rather engrossed in a magazine of his own.

...it was PC Magazine rather than Cosmo, but still.

"Good evening, all," he greeted the room at large, friendly smile widening slightly when he noticed Rilla.

"Good evening, Mr. Murdoch," Rilla said, smiling back at him. "Have you found something good to read as well?"

He held up the magazine in his hand so she could see. "Just a bit of research," he admitted. "For a potential purchase."

"Let me guess," Rilla said. "A PC?"

"I suppose the name of the publication doesn't leave much to the imagination, does it?" William mused. "But yes, you're correct. I know it's not something I'll be able to return, er, home, with, but- it could be useful, while I'm here."

Rilla nodded. "I rather like my phone," she offered. "I learned to play cards games on it!"

"Sherlock- Professor Holmes- insisted I equip myself with a proper mobile phone almost as soon as I'd arrived. It's quite marvelous, really, the leaps in technology that have been made!"

"It's ever so much more private than the phone at home," Rilla agreed. "One woman in the village had hers installed in her kitchen so she could stir the soup while she listened in on other people's calls!"
