Tiwa-Changeling OC-That Bar Place

[mm_ceit]

Tiwa's last year of high school starts at the start of next month and she's been trying not to really think about it, but her mother's been bugging her.

So she's by the fire and flipping through catalogs for universities and trying to not want to just fly away and not deal with school at all.

(OOC: Open for ages, I have new icons to play with

[ooc: you beat me to an ep, so have a teen Barty! :D]

A young man sits in an armchair by the fire, apparently unaware of Tiwa.

He may, in fact, be suspiciously familiar looking.

[pi_wakawaka]

Tiwa is trying to read about Canterbury University but looks up at him with a headtilt,

"Hey, you grew up."

[waysthingsare]

He really didn't realize anyone else was around, and as such starts a little when she speaks.

But then...

"Hey, it's the bird lady." It only takes a moment to focus on her ways, after all.

[pi_wakawaka]

"Yup that's me. What happened to you?"

She is trying not to worry but she misses his bright eyes that saw so much more than other peoples.

[waysthingsare]

He doesn't pretend to not know what she's talking about.

"Cancer," he explains. "Gone now, of course. And it isn't so in all the places I am."

[pi_wakawaka]

Tiwa hops up and gives him a big hug,

"Glad you're not gone in this somewhere."

[waysthingsare]

He accepts the hug and even pats her on the back. Just as he skipped over the Terrible Twos as a child, he is skipping over the rebellious/awkward teen stage now.

"Some somewhere I am, and some somewhere I never had the cancer, but those aren't somewheres to worry about, are they?"

[pi_wakawaka]

She smiles and moves back to her seat,

"Nope, better to enjoy this one as much as you can. Are you still liking school?"

[waysthingsare]

"Technically I'm finished," he says with a grin. "I'm working on some post-graduate things now."

Not that he was ever in an actual institution to begin with.

[pi_wakawaka]

"Lucky, I'm just starting my last year and there's far too much to do."

[waysthingsare]

"Secondary school or higher education?"

[pi_wakawaka]

"Secondary, trying to figure out where to go for university so that Mum will stop bugging me about it."

[waysthingsare]

"Oh, but that's what moms are for. Do you know what field you want to study?"

[pi_wakawaka]

"She's just really good at it. James got me thinking about maybe being a teacher so I'm looking at stuff for that."

[waysthingsare]

"A noble profession," Barty declares. "Will it require much schooling?"

[pi_wakawaka]

"That's what I'm trying to figure out, its all a lot more complicated than I expected."
