Most people would find intimidating the idea of suddenly moving away and start a new life at a new High School. But Temperance took it as just an opportunity to enjoy new things, make new friends, and go new places. And it was so nice that she met Gabriel and Erin. They are very friendly, and allegedly "The Work Juice Café" is everyone's favorite meetup place for all kind activities, including this tutoring program that pair up students across the different high schools, which is a neat idea. Especially, Even if Temperance haven't done any official tutoring before. But Erin thinks her grades are good, and the tutoring program's organizer is rather friendly.
Erin does not smile at Henry - let the illusion stay in place until he's more comfortable letting her feed him, if that ever happens. She smiles at Gabe instead, "Some of us are in it just to help, more than for the extra credit." She looks over at Gabriel, making his way through the tables towards them with a tray, "And some of us are in it for those and- other reasons," she stifles a giggle as he nearly runs into another patron, distracted by watching the triplets' table across the room.
Gabriel sets the tray down on the table and gives her a questioning look in response to her stare. She just smiles at him, so he shakes his head and sits, "I picked up your order too, Temperance," he tells her, nudging the tray over to her as he removes the two drinks and plate of scones he'd ordered himself. "J should be out any moment," he adds.
Fenris is watching a video that Trevor is showing him. He snorts before resuming whatever work he is doing at his laptop.
"Thanks! Well, honestly, I am doing it just to see how it works. And because I wanted to meet the people from the other high school."
"Well, you've met three of them now, then. J, Henry and Gabe all go to Riverside High."
"You 'go' at least a few times a week. I think that's enough to count."
"Point," J agrees, "Then yeah, I guess I am a Riverside inmate. Hey Gabe, Henry," he adds. He picks up the cup with a tea bag trailing out of it from the table, raising it at Temps in a 'cheers' motion, "Thanks!"
He laughs, "It's J. It's just Gabe that calls me that. I could be an author with a name like HJ Theobald, though, maybe I should go for it."
"Ah, a mystery, fun. And Theobald already covers you on the sounds-like-an-author department."
"It does but I think J's kind of literature would be more... transgressive than the name implies."
Henry covers Gabe's mouth. To anyone, but Temperance this is a pretty common sight, though how he manages to do it with such easy and without looking is still remarkable.
Temperance raises an eyebrow at Erin, but then smiles, like she is not intimidated.
Erin is making her way through her muffin top and watching the conversation play out with dancing eyes. She winks at Temps when she looks to her.
"They let us beasts roam free so long as we only bite if asked nicely," J tacks on, to Gabriel's exasperation.
"We can stay on the trails for your first day, leave the bushwhacking for when you're prepared for it."
