33 Apocalypse Ave., Thursday Morning

[not_in_the_book]

Waking up early, Ronan slipped out of bed -- being careful not to wake the other occupants -- slipped on some pyjama pants and a t-shirt, and opened and closed the door as quietly as possible as he left the room.

Coffee first, he thought, and then he might as well get started on breakfast.

[For the housemates! Or anyone else who wants to call/drop by/whatever.]

Emma waved one hand negligently as she headed to the fridge to root for leftovers to take to work for lunch. "Thank you, darling, but I don't expect people to be completely alert and static-less in the mornings. Not before food."

"Just not loud. Loud bad. Idle musings fine."

"I'll try and keep that in mind."

Going to try and do it, too. Not just because of her, but because he liked the challenge of the discipline required.

"You want another cup of coffee?"

It seemed like the go-to thing this morning.

"Mmm...I'm only around another few weeks before going back to school, but between some lessons from me and a few from Ronan, I'm sure we could give your mental discipline a work-out routine that will make anyone trying to mess with your mind wish they'd picked an easier target," Emma offered. "Please, darling. Coffee is always the way to woo me."

"I'll remember that, too," Kaidan promised her, his mouth quirking up a little.

Then he turned around to go and pour another mug. "What are you studying anyway?"

[icecoldfrost]

"What I'm not studying might make a shorter list," she offered dryly. "I've actually finished a number of courses online this summer, but as it stands my majors are business, psychology, and human development, with a minor in biology. Genetics, to be exact, but they don't have a specialized track for that."

"Psych is almost completely done, and luckily overlaps with many of my optional credits for human development. And they actually let me fill my student-teaching credit here, with the class you came to."

Suckers.

"Did you put that on the form with the actual title of your class?" Kaidan asked. "...Either way, I'm impressed. But now I'm curious."

[icecoldfrost]

"Someone told them I was teaching a basic community college science course. I didn't argue," Emma replied airily.

"Now, what is it that has you curious?"

[not_a_whiner]

Well, the Fandom class, mostly. But the question opened up another avenue of his interest: "Why so many majors?"

[icecoldfrost]

"Because I want to take over the world, of course."

[not_a_whiner]

"You know," Kaidan said slowly, "I actually can't tell if you're kidding."
