Seele crossed her arms on the desktop and leaned forward a bit, folding her legs neatly beneath the seat.
"Nothing too urgent. I was going to start studying for a sociology exam, but that's not for another week. And Nina wanted something to do with trying to convince Haneul to let her dye her hair. But I don't see that happening soon." She smirked. "I'm with Hannie on that one-- I want her to keep her natural blond."
"So," Seele straightened and laced her fingers together, stretching her arms out in front of her to pop her knuckles, "I guess I'm free." She smiled.

Liam nodded slowly as Seele spoke, and winced when she cracked her knuckles. Oh, eww. How could she stand to do that?
"That's good. I'm free too," he replied with a smile. "Tennyson can wait until tomorrow."
He glanced toward the window at a soft rumble of thunder, seeing raindrops beginning to splatter the glass, and frowned a little. He didn't much care for rain. He refused to let it dampen his mood for long, though, and soon looked back at Seele with a smile.
"What do you say to you and I watching a film together this afternoon or evening? Your choice. I promise not to complain." He smirked.

Seele chuckled and tapped her index finger to her lower lip. "Hmm, I dunno, I have a pretty vast collection of B-movies. How are you with horror flicks? I've got one I borrowed from Dr. E, it's pretty epic."

Liam bit the inside of his cheek for a moment as he thought this over. "That depends. I'm not really one for blood-and-gore kind of films, but a psychological horror sounds like fun. What did you have in mind?"

Seele grinned. "Psychological it is. I have The Others, and all the Exorcist movies, and a lot of asian horror films..." She ticked them off on her fingers, letting her eyes roll to the ceiling.

Liam nodded, smiling. "I don't think I've seen any of those. Go ahead and pick one. Surprise me."
There came a clap of thunder that seemed to rattle the windows, as loud, sharp and sudden as a gunshot. Liam yelped as panic overcame him, and he scrambled for cover, squeezing himself under his chair and shuddering as he tried to dispel the flashbacks that came to his mind unbidden. Eve, falling to the ground with blood spreading from the wound in her chest, her eyes full of shock and pain...
Liam squeezed his eyes shut, trying to breathe deeply and calm down. He swallowed, then opened his eyes and tried to move. Unsuccessfully. His ears started to burn as he realized he was well and truly stuck again, just as he had been during the Opening Ceremonies at the beginning of the year. He craned his neck, trying to look up at Seele, grinning sheepishly.
"Uh... little help, lassie?"

Seele bit her lip, determined not to giggle at Liam's expense.
"Ehm... yup, let me..." She stood and took a grip beneath the seat of the desk, giving a firm tug as she lifted the chair off of him. She held it at her hip and arched an eyebrow down at him. "How you manage to fit beneath these chairs in the first place baffles me, laddie." She gave a cheery giggle and set the chair down before offering her hands to help him to his feet.

Liam held still as Seele lifted the chair easily off of him, then gratefully took her hands and stood up.
"Thanks, lassie. I guess I defy a lot of laws," he chuckled. "Nature, physics... heck, maybe I'll find a way to defy gravity next. Like Elphaba," he grinned, thinking of the song from Wicked. "Who knows? This is a supernatural school, after all."

"Aw, Liam, that song's gonna be in my head all day now." Seele tucked her hair behind her ears.
"You feeling better? That thunder must have spooked you."

Liam nodded, smiling and lowering his eyes sheepishly at Seele's assessment. "Ah... yeah, I was kind of spooked. Ever since three summers ago I've always been scared by loud, sudden noises, anything that reminds me of a gunshot. Like the thunder, and when what's-his-name fell through the ceiling during the Opening Ceremonies, remember that?" She probably did, he thought. "But I'm fine now. Thanks." He met her eyes, smiling to reassure her, some heat still lingering in his cheeks.

Seele nodded, her mouth forming a silent "ah." She reached forward to ruffle his hair. "Don't be embarassed. I flinch every time I have to turn on a Bunsen burner. I'm terrified of fire." She smiled and straightened up, a full six feet tall in her heels. "I can't even roast marshmallows properly. I was the worst girl scout ever when I was a little 'un."
She straightened the chair and desk and glanced at the door. "You still want to watch a movie? I think I have a recording of Wicked somewhere, if you'd like."

Liam smiled sympathetically when Seele described her own phobia. "Aww. That's understandable, though. I think most vampires are pyrophobic. Fire can hurt you. Loud noises can't really. Unless they're right in your ear and damage your eardrums, but that's beside the point."
He perked up and grinned at the mention of Wicked. "I'd love that. I've only ever heard the soundtrack before. Mostly when Professor Hawk is playing it and singing along," he laughed.

Seele smiled and gave a playful little bow.
"Well then, Wicked it is. You'll have to excuse me for a minute or two though. My room is a mess. I have to run and shove everything out of sight before I let you in there."
She chuckled and took a step backwards, towards the door, holding up one hand, fingers splayed. "Gimme five minutes." With that, she dashed out into the hall, the trailing ends of her corset's laces fluttering behind her.
