Been There Done That (Open)

Feliks wandered out into the commonroom and flopped down in a seat, his hands began to lightly drum out a beat on the chair's arms as he looked around.

He had homework, but really, when did anyone actually do that except for the night before it was due?

Instead he lounged, obsereved, and waited to see if anything would happen.

Rhys made a rather spectacular descent down the steps from the dorm that would have looked a lot cooler if he hadn't actually tripped at the top of them. Somehow, he landed on his feet, gripping the banister tightly, blue eyes wide.

Wow. That was bad. Even for him. A quick glance revealed that somebody had left a stupid book on the staircase. And of course, he'd failed to notice it. If there was only one thing to trip on in the entire castle, Rhys would probably find it and do so.

At least his really bad mishaps seemed to be a bit less frequent. Maybe.

Hand scratching his head as he straightened, Rhys glanced about the common room, flushing when he noted that someone was there to witness his lack of grace.

"Oh," he said wittily. "Um... hi."

Feliks looked up at the noise to see a some what gangily ginger tumble down the stairs.

He had to admit that he was rather impressed that the boy managed to stay on his feet.

"Overall, I'd give that a seven, though I'd say you need to work on the take-off a bit, maybe stabilize the landing a bit."

He grinned and shifted himself about on his chair.

"All jokes aside, you alright? That could have been... lets say ugly, shall we?"

Rhys laughed. "Only a seven?" he asked. "That was pretty spectacular - even for me!

"I'm fine, actually," the redhead replied. "Which isn't usually the case, I might add. School klutz, y'know. Feliks, isn't it? I think we're in the same year. I'm Rhys."

Feliks shrugged, and smiled, "Sorry, got to take marks off for lack of planning; there the rules - I'm just being fair to everyone."

"Well that's good then," he titled his head and laughed, "And hey, every school's got to have one. Just think of it as being an important cog in the machine of Durmstrang. We could not funtion with out you."

He nodded and smiled again.

"Nice to meet you, Rhys. I do believe I've remember seeing you around. Classes and what not."

"Yeah? Well, I think you're being stingy!" Rhys returned with a good-humored grin.

The redhead nodded seriously. "It really is a tough job, but someone's gotta do it." He made it over to the chair without further incident, plopping gracelessly into it.

"So... anything interesting going on?"

"I didn't make them, just inforce them," he shrugged with a grin.

"Well you seem to be doing a 'bang up' job of it - I think they should give you a raise."

Feliks leaned back in his chair and looked about the room. There was always something interesting going on, the only thing that mattered was finding it - and sometimes you had to be commited to doing so.

"Not particularily," he gave an impish grin as he feigned disinteretest, "Just more of the usual, slacking off, trying to remember to attend class, plotting to take over the school. Just the usual day to day stuff."
