Room 514 - Afternoon

[thinkbetterofme]

Faramir was bowed over his desk, a book on the history of weapons in this world lay open in front of him, an English dictionary beside it. He picked it up as the visuals seemed like a good aid, but the words proved challenging nonetheless and he wondered if perhaps he should first have studied a history of this world

Considering that Faramir was a boy, Dolf was pretty sure this visit to someone's own room was going to be a little less awkward than, say, his last attempt to visit Cally. He was bored, and he was looking for something to do; so he knocked on Faramir's open door. "Hey."

[thinkbetterofme]

Faramir did think there was no reason for any visit to his room to be awkward. Especially not as there was neither sex pollen or the urge to sing this weekend. Perhaps that was why Dolf was bored.

"Hullo, Rudolf," Faramir greeted with a smile, leaning back in his chair. "Are you enjoying the quiet weekend?"

[swordsandsoccer]

"It's very different," Dolf joked. "I'm not sure how I feel about that. Can I come in?"

[thinkbetterofme]

"Of course you can," Faramir said instantly, rising from his seat as he wondered about his manners. "You need not ask, you are most welcome here."

[swordsandsoccer]

"I don't just want to walk into your room," Dolf argued, though not very hotly. "Strange things tend to happen when I show up to people's rooms, nowadays."

[thinkbetterofme]

Faramir laughed softly. "A knock of warning is always welcome," he agreed, not having meant it in such a way.

He waved Dolf inside, motioning around for him to pick wherever he would be most comfortable to sit. "What sort of strange things?"

[swordsandsoccer]

"The singing and everything last week." Dolf's face attempted to redden a little, but apparently he'd gotten all blushed-out last week. He stepped into the room and found a seat on one of the beds. "I hope that's not going to happen again."

[thinkbetterofme]

"It was... trying," Faramir agreed, turning his desk chair around to face Dolf before sitting down again. "And it lasted much too long. The singing was at least somewhat easier to deal with."

[swordsandsoccer]

"It's unfair," Dolf complained. "We are already teenagers. And what if someone had gotten sick, and started to spread it because of all the--" He made a motion that was supposed to imply touching.

Because obviously when you thought about hormones, the first thing you thought about was the possibility of a plague outbreak.

[thinkbetterofme]

Obviously. Or perhaps not so much.

"I had not thought of that," he admitted. Most of his concern had involved Maladicta somehow. "Admittedly, I found it hard to think at the time. It was perhaps a test of character."

One he had miserably failed at.

[swordsandsoccer]

One which Dolf hadn't failed at, though probably mostly because of his innate talent to get worked up about everything else, in combination with the fact that most of his blood had tended to go to his main head, and, well.

Anyway.

"Maybe," Dolf said, dubiously. "But what would be the point?"

[thinkbetterofme]

"Insight into one's self?" Faramir guessed, frowning at his own words. "I do not know whether I like what I have learned then."

[swordsandsoccer]

"What did you learn?" Dolf said, swinging his feet a little off the bed. "All I learned is that showers are very good." Cough.

"That if one does not keep his wits about him and lets his guard down in such situation, one ends up regretting their actions," Faramir confessed. "At least, it did not get out of hand."

If one did not consider getting dragged up eight flights of stairs by a possessive vampire out of hand.

[swordsandsoccer]

Dolf winced sympathetically. "Did you do a lot of things you regret?" he prompted. "I mean, if that isn't personal."

[thinkbetterofme]

"No. At least I have that in my defence," Faramir pressed his lips together for an instant, but he did trust Dolf and considered him a friend.

"I kissed someone I should not have. Would not have if I had not let my guard down. I hope that the damage I have done is not too great. I will have to speak to her soon, but it seemed best to let the embarrassment die down before attempting it."
