"I should go look into those. I wouldn't have expected there to be that many choices, though, it's not like there are that many of us."

"Mind I'm comparing to what I've been able to find about your standard public school options, not to a more reasonable standard."

"What do you think a more reasonable standard would be?"

"You probably don't actually want to hear me regurgitate my mom's Opinions on education."

"Try me."

Well in that case she can have a significant amount of ranting as to Why The Public School System As Stands Is Inadequate And How It Could Be Fixed.

...okay sure she may be regurgitating her mom's opinions but oh my god that is so hot.

She may have noticed, judging by the smirk she develops partway through.

Yeah that makes it even hotter. There may be a lot of eyelash batting going on here.

"You know, I bet you weren't planning to spend your Sunday standing at your door talking to a stranger."

"I hadn't been planning to, no, but pleasant surprises happen."

"I'm glad to be a pleasant surprise."

"Just how pleasant can you be, I wonder?"

"What's the scale I should use?"

"Surprise me."

"Hmmm, on a scale from blizzard and hail while late for work and having a meeting in five minutes to a nice breezy spring sunset at the lake cabin after having won the lottery and donated a lot of money to charity I'm a warm afternoon at the beach after reading news about significant advances on a generalized cure for cancer and aging through technology."

"Why, that sounds quite pleasant indeed."

She giggles. "I do try."

She looks her over. "My friends and I are having dinner at five-thirty. Be there. Would you like directions to our table or do you expect to be able to spot us?"

"Yes, ma'am," she says immediately. "I'll find you."

"Excellent. Welcome to Selene."

"Thank you very much."

"You're quite welcome. Was there anything else at the moment?"

"Don't think so. I should explore some more and see you this evening."

"See you this evening," she says, looks at her assessingly again, tips her chin up with two fingers and presses a kiss to her forehead.

And then disappears back into her room, closing the door without another word.

She needs a few minutes in her room to decompress after that. She's pretty sure there's steam coming out of her ears.

After that, she goes to explore the school a bit and look into electives and such, but at five thirty she's at the cafeteria.
