A Wench walks into the common room - Open RP

[maid_brienne]

Brienne of Tarth was not precisely certain what to do with herself. She'd found herself wandering into the popcorn room earlier this afternoon, and had realized that the school was, very nearly, quite free of Lannisters. When had that happened? Wasn't the fact that Jaime had once again become a kernel of popcorn something she should have noticed?

This mun also only has two Gryffindors, and one is plotting Iron Chef-ness, so Soichiro is up to bat.

If he would put down that damn book.

[maid_brienne]

Brienne does acknowledge the man with the book by offering up a nod of her head and a brief smile, but she's not really one to disturb people if they're studying, which she is beginning to think she should be doing more of herself, in any case.

[papayagami]

And he's beginning to go crosseyed again.

And it turns out he read this book already, and it took him till halfway through to realize that.

He threw the book in a random direction, realizing too late that he threw it at someone.

((Feel free to deflect it or let it hit, whatever)

[maid_brienne]

With reflexes honed both from warrior training and from having spent too much time with men whose senses of humor tended toward the "Let's humiliate the ugly wench" mold, Brienne actually did manage to spot the projectile and catch it neatly.

She let out her breath slowly, took another deep breath, and when she had her irritation under control, she walked over to the man, offering him back the book. "You dropped this," she murmured diffidently.

[papayagami]

"I...I'm sorry. I just wasn't paying attention at all when I threw it." He took the book back and tucked it under his arm, intending to take it back once he was done here.

[maid_brienne]

"It makes no matter," Brienne said easily, shrugging the incident off as an accident. "May I ask what was so vexing about what you were reading?"

[papayagami]

"I've actually read the book already, and it wasn't until I was halfway through before I realized it."

[maid_brienne]

"Ahh, that explains a lot," Brienne remarked. "I understand the library is quite large. Surely you could find something there that you hadn't already read?"

[papayagami]

"Probably. Then again, the large library means you tend to lose track of what you've read." He wasn't Mello, after all.

[maid_brienne]

That made sense to Brienne, who, as noted earlier, wasn't much of a scholar. "Well, good luck on finding something you haven't read," she said.

[papayagami]

Soichiro nodded and left to rectify the situation.
