SHIELD Academy
Open House
Everyone is congregated in the spacious auditorium of the SHIELD Academy. The noise level is probably a decibel below deafening and the lights are probably a little dimmer than what might seem normal for this time in the evening, but it doesn't seem to bother anyone as they just carry on. There are banners strewn about welcoming all first years to a new chapter in their lives while others welcome the others back for another year at the Academy. Refreshments are served up on stage while other tables set up around the massive room are home to pamphlets and flyers for clubs and classes. Special electives and advertisements for training sessions are also littered amongst the tables.

Make a few friends, find old ones, look into clubs that catch your interest. This is open house for all returning students and prospective students, so hang out, hit up others and just mingle!

Up goes her brow. "Were you actually paying attention, or was I just that awful?" But she's aware of the entrapment inherent in that question, so she moves on along. "Make you a deal; I'll help you with whatever science course you've got - or math, if you prefer, if we don't wind up in the same one - and you help me get my marks up in self-defense. Good deal?"

He actually smiles at the suggestion - partly because it's clear he got her on that one. Lydia isn't bad in self-defense, not by any means, but there are still a lot of ways that she can improve. So he offers her his hand to seal the deal. "Good enough for me."

"We'll see who's getting the better of the bargain." she replies, smiling back at him. Getting Gale to smile is a fleeting and rare opportunity, and she fits her hand into his.

"So I'll see you at the party, then."

[ensared]

"We'll see," he agrees, raising an eyebrow in amusement. Even Gale likes a good challenge. "And yeah, I'll be there."

[lefthandedgenius]

She grins up at him again. "I'll keep an eye out for you. In the meantime, try not to look too bored, okay?"

Perhaps the question is rhetorical. Merrily, she sails off into the throng, quite happy to hawk her flyers to all who come within range.
