Kleo threw Giselle a fond, thankful look as her friend started wrapping up the conversation. She wasn't upset with Giselle. It wasn't her fault that her roommate (and Kleo's ex-roommate) was a certified yapper and the absolute worst study buddy ever.

Hopefully, Linnet would take the hint and they could go back to the peaceful quiet that they'd had before she showed up. She hoped that Giselle didn't think she was being too mean...so far, she and Giselle had surprisingly gotten on rather well. Even though Giselle was a Mundus. And Kleo didn't want to ruin her relationships with the other kids in Professor Sal's research class. They were all going to have to work through everything together. And, so far, they'd all been getting along. But other people thought Linnet was sweet as sugar, Kleo knew, and in comparison she was probably a hard pill to swallow.

Kleo pushed those feelings down and went back to her computer. That was what mattered at the end of the day: her studies.

"I don't know about that," Kleo said, feeling her irritation return as Linnet butt into the conversation--when Kleo had obviously been talking to Giselle. She had been wanting to distract Giselle, pull her away from Linnet and remind her why they were there: to study.

But Linnet had to go and talk about her stupid poetry. Which was not the point--and also the reason Professor Sal didn't choose her.

"I suppose, though writers aren't at risk of having something blow up in your face if you get it wrong," Kleo said, somewhat icily and went back to her computer, hoping that that would end the conversation.

And there went Linnet, doing exactly what Kleo knew what she was going to do, as soon as they sat down: yapping. Chattering like an obnoxious chipmunk or something.

Did they not have libraries in the Hollow? Did she seriously not know how to be quiet?

Kleo was trying to concentrate, thanks. Which meant she didn't reply to Linnet or Giselle's response. She just went back to her books, though, she couldn't really concentrate considering the conversation on the other side of the table.
