[dormheads]

... Again, you really are stubborn, aren't you.

[it's not necessarily said in a frustrated tone, just tired.]

[goalsides]

Someone told me it's a bad habit of mine. [thank lalli. but he shrugs.] I've had to be for a lot of reasons. It's not anything I plan on changing.

[dormheads]

Just don't exhaust yourself trying to get involved in everyone's business.

[goalsides]

Even if it's what I'd rather be doing?

[dormheads]

[he sighs.]

Do as you please, then. Though it sounds as though you have people who'd worry over you.

[goalsides]

That doesn't mean I can't put my focus on everybody else. Especially when there's still so much we don't understand here.

[dormheads]

I doubt my personal life will assist with that.

[goalsides]

You'd be surprised. [just a thought.] ...the director told me she was asking you about hanging out with us.

[dormheads]

The director? [who the fuck is the director—oh] You mean Lucretia. She's asked, yes.

[goalsides]

Yeah. Have you given it some thought?

[dormheads]

[tiredly,]

I already told her yes.

[goalsides]

[he holds up his hands (and book) defensively.]

My bad. She told me she was still trying to convince you. It'll be good for everybody.

[dormheads]

We'll see.

[he already hates the idea but he did say yes.]

[goalsides]

[they're upstairs now, which means taichi's putting away his book.]

...did you ever have roommates before you became a dorm head?

[dormheads]

[he better be putting it back in the right spot.]

... Depends on your definition of roommates.

[goalsides]

[he is!! maybe it's upside down but it's fine, he's more focused on looking for something else.]

People you shared a living space with and maybe every now and then interacted with.

[dormheads]

[there's a pause, as if he's trying to figure out how to answer this.]

... Since attending Wiwaldi, I've primarily kept to single rooms.

[goalsides]

Primarily, so not always. [this is how he takes it as he examines the spines of the books in front of him.] I'm surprised you wanted to be a dorm head then.

[dormheads]

[... a sigh.]

It's not like I'm not used to sharing, either. Besides, being a Dorm Head does mean free lodgings for the year.

[goalsides]

Yeah, you mentioned finding a place to stay as a reason you were at Wiwaldi. Does that mean you stay here all year round instead of going home for breaks?

[dormheads]

[...]

I return during the summer break. Otherwise, the trip and back costs too much money to be worth it.

[goalsides]

[there's a nod.]

I guess that makes sense. Our summer break is only a month, but if the break at Wilwaldi's longer...[why not do it in one shot? sure.]

Think you'll go back permanently after you finish university? Or go somewhere else?

[dormheads]

I'll be going back.

[he apparently doesn't even need to think about it.]

[goalsides]

[...this is probably pushing his limit of questions, but.]

Because of responsibilities? Or because it's where you want to be?

[dormheads]

[...

silence, before—]

Because it's where I should be.
