"People don't like people who are different," Sean said, his gaze skittering away from his companion. "I mean, I'm bi and covered in ink and piercings, and that's just what people can see." He didn't care to mention what people couldn't see. It wasn't any of their business what went on inside his head or in the privacy of his room, anyway. "They want everyone to fit in a neat little box."

"Everyone wants things the way they want them and not enough people are willing to think about what's best for everyone else, what, like anything that doesn't directly affect their blindfolded little lives doesn't matter. People matter, and someone's got to step up and do something about it."

The intensity brought Sean's gaze back toward Ezra. "Are you going to be the one to do that?" he asked. "I have to say, a minister with stretched ears and tattoos is something I'd like to see." It wasn't likely to happen, at least not in his lifetime. Considering how many people still thought gay was icky, it would be a long time before that kind of progress was made.

Laughter. "Organized religion is for sheep, what, I'm talking revolution if that's what it takes. If there's a campus pride group, I'm in. If there's an advocacy group, I'm in. Child slavery, sex trafficking, people just ignore that sh~ like it's too horrible to be real, but it's real."

"I meant more political minister, but priest with a nose ring works," Sean mused as he considered what Ezra had said. It was a change from the happy-go-lucky guy from earlier and he wasn't entirely sure what to do with it. Sean had the nasty feeling he was sort of like this sometimes when he drank. "There's a lot of bad in the world, but you can't fix everything, you know? You could start up a pride group, though, don't think there's one."

"Then I'll start one. Someone needs to speak for people who aren't strong enough, or educated enough, or are too afraid, to speak for themselves." Dark honeyed brown eyes faded back to hazel, and brows knit. He hated when he blanked out! He winced at the pain of the headache. "There has to be a pain potion in here somewhere..." He flipped open his bag to look for a vial.

"You okay, mate?" Sean asked, his eyebrows creasing as he turned his head to look at the guy beside him. "Did you put it back in your bag back in the library?" The thought of a pride group was interesting, but the thought of what he might have to confess if he were part of one made him eager to jump onto the distraction offered.

He looked up, confusion showing in his eyes. Do we know each other? "Ah, I get migraines." He dug into his bag and found a pain potion buried beneath an absolute mess of books and papers. He unstoppered it and took a long drink directly from the vial, hoping it would work fast.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Sean said. "Do ah, do you need to go to the hospital wing? The healer's great, I've had to go a couple of times. We could get coffee some other day." Though he didn't really know anyone who dealt with bad migraines, he'd heard enough about them to know they could be enough to put someone on their back for a day.

He stoppered the vial and tucked it back into his bag. Get coffee. Well, his memory was as bad as ever, but apparently he'd said something right. "Just... give me a minute. I've got a good pain potion from a Healer." The pain wasn't so bad he couldn't think. Obviously he hadn't done anything crazy because the guy seemed concerned. What time was it? Time for damage control.
"I'm sorry, what's your name again?" There, the headache was fading. It hadn't reached migraine. He could deal with this.

"I'm Sean, sure you're okay?" Sean made a mental note to avoid intense discussions in the future. The sudden intensity had been odd, though not enough to scare him off, and combined with a name-forgetting migraine there was plenty to convince him to avoid the subjects. "I'm not a stranger to emergency healer trips."

"No, no, I've been dealing with this for a long time. I can't even remember when I wasn't." Ha ha. "We were going to get coffee, right? I could use some coffee." He'd avoid seeing the school healer for as long as possible. He didn't trust them, except to dole out pain potions.

"Yeah, come on, so could I. The beginning of term is enough to leave me in need of a coffee," Sean said, smiling. "Or a drink that isn't quite as socially safe as coffee, but I've been laying off the liquor. I haven't been to the coffee place, but I've heard it's good, though people seem to have mixed reviews about the owner."

That headache tried to flare up again, but River made an effort to tamp it back down. "I don't drink," he said simply, then took the first change of subject. "What have you heard about the owner?" The headache faded entirely at that. How he was managing conversation with a stranger he had no idea, but if he'd made a good impression, he'd just try to keep it up.

"I heard he's good looking, but cocky," Sean said. "Heard he'll hit on about anything with legs. Some people like that, some people don't." The ones who he'd heard complain about it were the obvious ones, those too insecure to deal with someone hitting on them, or those who thought they were better than everyone else. "Still, long as the coffee and such is good, who cares what he's like?"
