2nd Floor Common Room, Thursday Afternoon
Ender had been back for several days, but he still felt like he'd spent most of that time in his room. Not that he particularly minded that. It was nice and calm in his room, and he'd be lying if he said he wasn't enjoying his return to the old routine of Ben tweaking on his end and Ender reading on his own.
But it did keep him from at least getting a look at which students had come and, by proxy, which had gone. So he'd grabbed one of Karla's books about Kaeleer out of his bookcase and finally made his way down to the common room to get some lunch and do some reading.
Lunch was a bowl of fruit, some toast, and a glass of milk. Reading material was interesting. And Ender? Ender was slumped on the couch, engrossed in the latter while slowly making his way through the former.
