Walking down the hallway, Swan was thankful that she'd been spared the clouds of cupids that seemed to be following some of her fellow students and even some of the teachers - much to their horror, it seemed. The blonde shifted her bag that was slung over her shoulder, the books in it weighing it down considerably, and her eyes scanned the parchment she had in her hand. There were notes scrawled on it, mostly pertaining to whatever homework it was that she needed to get done, but done of it had really sunk in. Other things, and people, were occupying her thoughts at present.

All that in mind, she wasn't really looking where she was going as she walked down the hallway, although she became absently aware of the sound of an acoustic guitar. Swan couldn't tell you a think about music or the styles of play, but she still had a pretty good idea who it was. Turning a corner, she leaned against the wall as she spotted Ren.

"Hi."

Playing out the basic melody, Ren was able to quickly fish out the sheets of music for them and, while playing, made a few small changes to the arrangements. He didn't bother with words this time like the song he worked on before, he rather work on the stuff he knew best, which was his guitar compositions.

Turning to the voice he looked up from his work to see Swan standing there and he gave her a small gentle grin. His conversation with Genesis last night was enough to put his mind to ease at the idea of talking to Swan again after her catching him with cocaine. "Hey. You're keeping yourself busy, I see." He said noticing the heavy bag at her side, no doubt filled with heavy texts.

"As are you," she countered with a slight smile. Swan glanced down at her bag and rested a hand on it, the other sitting at her hip. "Just Potions. Nothing exciting, really." Potions that might help with addiction, but really, nothing exciting... Inwardly, she rolled her eyes at herself.

She watched him play for a moment, wondering if taking the... drugs (she couldn't quite reconcile something as dangerous as cocaine with Ren, although she was entirely aware of the situation) had effected his music somehow. Swan would ask but... music seemed like a personal thing. She'd barge her way into anything for someone's safety, but other things she was happy not to risk intruding on. Instead, she resorted to standard conversation.

"So... How have you been, Ren?"

Giving her a quizzical look, Ren didn’t comment. He knew Swan was thinking of so many other things to say to him but she wasn’t willing to speak about it. Figures he would have to answer the unasked questions.

“Fine,” He said with a small shrug, “I haven’t taken another hit if that’s what you’re wondering.” Sparing a small glance at those books, he could see that Swan had taken the liberty to go research more then just potions required for her class and he had a small suspicion that he was the reason behind it. He wasn’t going to comment on it however, potions wasn’t much of his thing anyways so there was no point starting a conversation there. Like Swan had just said, it wasn’t exciting.

Putting the sheet music back into his guitar case he continued on talking, “I’ve mostly been hanging out down in Slytherin talking to Genesis. I told him what was going on.” He sent a look to Swan in hope that she caught on that he actually had told Genesis everything.
