L had seen many things in his time here at Hogwarts. Many things he was sure he'd never see...some things he'd like to unsee.

He'd seen Kusuriyuri walking with an injury on his back. That had startled him. He almost stopped him but figured the peddler was going to get attention. He wondered if he should check in on him since it'd been a couple of days. He hadn't seen Kusuriyuri laying around in the halls (not that he'd really checked or anything, but he had wandered the halls...not making sure. He didn't like the peddler, but A respected him, so...).

He'd seen Mello stomping around, looking pissed at the world, but that was nothing new.

He went to the Great Hall, ordering a cheesecake with strawberries, and thought, crouching on one of the benches.

Maybe he should owl Near? Their relationship, while uneasy, was at least almost comfortable in it's familiarity. Or maybe he should owl Light? They were supposed to play tennis, not that it was a good time of year to play, but he had heard of the Room of Requirement. Maybe he should owl Mello, just for the intellectual stimulation of arguing with the blond? Maybe he should owl A and see about watching cartoons or some simple pleasure?

Or, he could enjoy his cheesecake.

I walked around the table (that walk that Severian had once characterized, in myself and my sister Thea, as a proud phororachos stalk, because we were so tall and long of leg, and held our heads so upright; I was self-conscious of it now, because people here were all so much shorter than I; my height was now not understood as marker of social status, but simply a thing which set me apart). Taking my place behind my very own cake -- really a good idea on the young man's part; my appetite could be vast -- I asked him, "Do you eat this sort of cake often, or is it a thing for specific occasions?"

"And do you always have what you want, or is that a philosophy confined to foodstuffs?" I took my first bite of cheesecake then, making sure to nab a bit of cut strawberry with it, and I had to stop talking. "Mmm." Nothing else, because my mouth was full.
