psychowolfHis office is small and cluttered with anthropological papers and books. There is a phone on the desk and printer against the wall.
There is a coat rack next to the door.
He looks around the room and waits for his friend to come through.
Not certain what he will show Sinric.

Date: 2017-06-11 01:16 pm (UTC)"This is my office at the University." it seems obvious to Clay but Sinric is from a different time.

Date: 2017-06-11 01:23 pm (UTC)He glances around the room, taking it all in. "You've only recently moved in here?"

Date: 2017-06-11 01:27 pm (UTC)"I think my new TA wants to file my papers." looking around, "I don't understand it." he shrugs.

Date: 2017-06-11 01:44 pm (UTC)"Teaching assistant." he clarifies, "Though I don't yet know what I am going to have her do." Clay has never minded doing the whole job.
His nostrils flare and he stops moving, going dead silent, just before there is a knock on the door. A chirpy coed calls "Dr. Danvers?" her tone having all the intonation of a school girl with a crush.

Date: 2017-06-11 02:05 pm (UTC)He stills when Clay freezes, head cocked, but then smiles at the voices.
He straightens his jacket and gives Clay an encouraging smile. Sinric can handle this, there nothing to worry about.

Date: 2017-06-11 02:15 pm (UTC)This is the part of his job he likes the least. The ones that don't care about their studies.
After a few moments of no response the young woman gives up and leaves.
"I have office hours. And that One has nothing to ask that isn't already on the Syllabus." he was quite glad she is gone.

no subject
Date: 2017-06-11 02:27 pm (UTC)Sinric will see a large green lawn with brick buildings peppered around it. "That is the campus." Some students are sitting on the lawn while others are throwing Frisbee's. Over all there isn't much foot traffic today, not at this hour.
His good mood returning.

Date: 2017-06-11 02:31 pm (UTC)He gestures out to the lawn. "May we?" He's eager to see more of this place.
no subject
Date: 2017-06-11 02:37 pm (UTC)"Of course." he smiles. Walking over to the door and opening it. Outside the door is a hallway lined with doors which lead to other offices and classrooms. At the end of the hall in one direction is a window and at the other doors to the outside.

Date: 2017-06-11 02:46 pm (UTC)As they step outside, he takes in deep breath - tasting the air, feeling the different quality of the sunlight, admiring the trees and the grass. Just a stranger admiring the beauty of the day. Only Clay could know how deep that appreciation runs.
A Frisbee lands at his feet and he stoops to throw it back, covering his mouth to keep from laughing as the curve of it soars in the wrong direction. He calls out an apology and gets jeered and teased light-heatedly in return.
no subject
Date: 2017-06-11 02:52 pm (UTC)Clay would have just walked away.
One of the young men goes running over to get the Frisbee.
"What sort of places would you like to see?"

Date: 2017-06-11 10:42 pm (UTC)He laughs at himself. "Whatever makes this place what it is."
no subject
Date: 2017-06-11 11:34 pm (UTC)"This is a large city" he points towards the skyline, "But near here there are some paths that go up the mountains." the temperature is pleasant. "And there is a college area just off of campus."
no subject
Date: 2017-06-11 11:37 pm (UTC)"Collage areas are where the students live? Those who travel a distance to study?"

Date: 2017-06-12 12:03 am (UTC)He points off in a direction, "I live in an apartment off campus"

Date: 2017-06-12 12:19 am (UTC)He seems to give off an aura of happiness, like some Disney princess. It doesn't affect Clay so much but people they pass seem to walk away smiling.

Date: 2017-06-12 12:22 am (UTC)Clay buys some fruit for the both of them because he is hungry too.

no subject
Date: 2017-06-12 02:11 am (UTC)Clay pauses while Sinric plays in the grass. A few onlookers started to stare and Clay glares at them. They stop staring and go back to their business.
no subject
Date: 2017-06-12 02:21 am (UTC)Sinric notices the looks. They don't bother him but he can tell they are annoying Clay so he puts his shoes back on.

no subject
Date: 2017-06-12 08:24 am (UTC)"This way" he leads Sinric past some restaurants and a movie theater. "Have you been to a movie before?" he doesn't know what his other friends showed him in New Orleans.
[OOC: I understand. I'm traveling for work today so I will tag as available. ]
