Room 141

[Locked to Tick and Rory.]

Tick is waiting to speak to rory__gilmore concerning what he will be mentally be calling The Test Incident until he forgets to call it that anymore. In the meantime, he has some newspapers from Colorado strewn about in preparation for tomorrow's class. "Ripped From the Headlines" indeed.

Rory knocks on the doorframe. "You wanted to speak with me, sir?"

[ooc: Oh, I am so in on the zoo thing. I just didn't want to be hogging all the field trip fun, since I already sent Rory on the Journalism one.]

Tick would have opened the door cheerfully if he had a door to cheerily open. "Hello, Rory! Please, come in!" Motioning her to sit in one of the chairs in the room, Tick asks, "How was your trip?"

Rory smiles as she sits. "It was okay. My grandparents are a bit difficult to get along with sometimes, but they have me my birthday present, and I think they're coming for Parents' Weekend."

She clears her throat, nervously crossing her ankles. "How was your weekend, sir?"

"That's great, Rory! Presents are the chocolate frosting on the Cake of Birthdays!" Tick pauses. That metaphor didn't seem to work quite right. Probably not separated enough from the topic at hand.

"My weekend... I'll be honest, Rory, it could have been better." Tick held a hand to his face to shield a whisper from the pile of tests he was pointing at. "They got a little restless." If you looked carefully, you could probably still see the pen marks. "That's actually why I wanted to talk to you."
