Nerves struck, and then disappeared, hazel eyes brightening again. "A good time is a good time. I've never had really good coffee. I mean, I've had good coffee, but not the kind that some people talk about, that makes you feel all warm and cool." There was a moment of light laughter. "Warm like warm, and cool like hipsters pretend they think they aren't." Ezra looked surprised at the words. "Not that they aren't fun too! Just in a different way."

Sean laughed lightly. "I can't say I've been around a lot of hipsters," he said. "Usually when I hang out it's with my brother, or a couple other people. Haven't seen them in a while, though. If the coffee's good I'll have a reason to invite them over. Maybe you can meet them, see how cool not like hipsters they are."

Ezra's thoughts skipped directly over the mention of a brother. Family wasn't a good subject at all. "I'd love to meet your friends, or whoever they are." There was a brief pause in the conversation while Ezra waved at a stranger who'd made eye contact. "The more the merrier, right?"

Sean all but scoffed. "If you say so. I was always more of a loner. I don't usually do well in crowds," he said. Any time he hung out it was usually in small groups, assuming it was actually large enough to be considered a group. "I'm going to guess you've got a big group?" he asked. Even if the guy was a little strange, it would surprise Sean if he didn't have a nicely sized group of friends.

A big group? What about no group at all? Minor panic and another shift of eye color, from green through hazel and into a deep, reddish brown. "I need out of here," he said, scanning the walls. "Do you smoke?" A hand fumbled at a back pocket and drew out a pack of cigarettes. He turned the pack over and tapped one out, then placed it between his lips. He knew better than to smoke inside, but he needed it. The pack was slid back into the pocket and a book of matches came out in its place.

"I was never really interested in smoking," Sean said. "We're about outside, just a few turns. A professor sees you smoking inside and it probably won't turn out well." Another somewhat odd change, but he didn't comment on it. He could be much too submissive for his own good, a lot of the time. Besides, it was a much slighter shift.

The danger didn't matter so much as getting a breath of nicotine. He didn't know when the last time he'd had a smoke was, but the next time was now. He pulled a match and flicked it to life against his thumbnail. Oh yeah. That was better. The match burned down to his fingertips before he shook it out, then dropped it carelessly on the floor. "You play cards any?" He probably didn't have any, but he had a wand so that was easily fixed.

"I used to," Sean said, watching a tendril of smoke as it floated up toward the ceiling. "I haven't since I moved here, though. My room mate's never here, and cards aren't much fun when you're alone." He had plenty of things to occupy his time. It was mostly books and classwork, but he liked the quiet solitude.

"There's solitaire," he said around his cigarette. "But I'll take blackjack any day. Poker, about anything you can put a knut into and walk away with a Galleon. Gamble any?" It didn't matter where they were going or why at this point. There was no day but today and no time but that very moment. He may as well get what he could out of it.

Sean shook his head. "Nope, never gambled. Honestly, man, the most interesting thing about me is the ink," he said. "I wouldn't even know how to start gambling." He probably had a horrible poker face. Sure, he lied every day, but it was a passive one, and he didn't even really think of it as a lie anymore.

How boring was that? He plucked out his cigarette and discarded it as they reached the building's doors. Then he started coughing. His eyes watered slightly, and he winced as that headache came back. "I changed my mind about the Healer," he said. "The pain potion should be working by now."

"Do you know where the hospital wing is?" Sean asked. He really didn't mind postponing coffee. It seemed obvious there was more to Ezra's issue than just a headache. "I could show you, it really isn't far. I guess they wanted it easy to get to, you know?" Having medical help on the opposite side of the island would be bad for anyone needing help.

"Yeah, just show me where it is, thanks," River said. It was already hard to move for the pain streaking down his neck, but at this point he was willing to get help. Hopefully the healer wouldn't ask questions, and he could just finish whatever he'd been doing.

Sean nodded and turned away from the main door. "I haven't really heard anyone say they don't like the healer, and he's helped me when I needed it." Even though his issues weren't in need of standard healing practices, it was good to have someone he could go to when something went wrong or he had a question. "He'll have you out in no time."

"Yeah, thanks," River said, somewhat absently now that the pain was making it hard to think. "Will I see you again?" Had he ruined things like he always did? This was why it was safer to be alone. Then he didn't embarrass himself. What had possessed him to come to university?
