Good mornin' sunshine

[greenmoonrising]

WHO: Bruce and YOU
TONE: Ranging from humour to fatigued angst
RATING: Probably not more than PG-13
WHEN: First morning back at school
WHERE: Just outside the Great Hall
WHAT: It's the morning after full moon weekend and Bruce is more than a bit exhausted. He might be more irritable and absent-minded than usual, so what's stopping you from bugging him?
STATUS: Ongoing

Full moon is never fun for Bruce but adding the stress of travel to it had left him more fatigued than usual. If anyone had seen him the day before and how dishevelled he looked then, they'd think he was ready to keel over and die at any second now. All colour was gone from his face save for the even darker shadows around his eyes and the red in his lips, and was that perhaps a glint of green in his eyes when he walked through a beam of sunlight? He needed food but he wasn't too sure he was up to being around people that day, so he hesitated and stared at the entrance of the Great Hall, leaning against a wall for support.

[Natasha is on her way for toast.]

Did you have an all night study session already?

[greenmoonrising]

[Twitches a smile at that, staying against the wall.]

Maybe I was kept up by the Slytherin kids?

[actuallyspeakslatin]

[She gives him a questioning look with a raised brow.]

How? It's not like they're an interesting crowd.

[greenmoonrising]

Some of them can be - I mean, Gamzee's a genius when it comes to potions once you get him to talk about it.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Well you look a bit peaky. Don't let them or Tony keep you up a second night.

[greenmoonrising]

I won't.

[Smiles wanly, covering a yawn with his hand.]

So, had breakfast yet?

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Good. Just give them a good threat and they should back off.

Not yet, I'm just getting some toast before heading to the library. I want to see if I can get a pass for the Restricted section this year.

[He manages a laugh at that, moving towards the entrance.]

I'll pretend I didn't hear that [Points at his 'P' badge] Just let me know if you succeed, 'kay?

You're a Prefect this year? Congratulations on the fancy bath privileges.

[greenmoonrising]

That's really the only good thing about it huh? How many times have you snuck in the Prefects' baths anyway?
