Rachel was quietly reading in a back table, making a few notes but seeming to be cross referencing something. The blonde's hair was up, her attire casual and she was quite deep in thought.

The boy at the next table seemed to be checking her out. Or was he just trying to see what she was reading? It was hard to tell.

She glanced up, looking at him quickly and then back at her book so it seemed but looking over the top of her book to see if she could figure out which he was doing.

When she looked up, he got bolder. He grabbed his stuff and brought it over to her table.

"Hey, I'm Mark. What are you studying?"

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

"Celtic mythology Mark. Hi I'm Rachel." with a bright smile at him and a hand extended to him.

He took the hand with a smile.

"I'm a Chem major, myself. Religion and Mythology just confuse me."

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

"And chemistry does that to me." with a grin and chuckle at him.

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

He chuckled.

"So why Celtic?"

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

"Well St. Patrick's day is coming and I was trying to find information about Leprechauns." tucking a stray strand behind her ear and her dark blue eyes looking at him.

He laughed.

"Anything good? Maybe we could go hunting pots of gold."

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

"Well you should know all about rainbows and why that can never be found." moving her books, so he can sit down easier, and keep their conversation quieter.

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

He sat.

"And that's why Myth's don't make sense to me."

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

She leaned over "But most science was thought to be folly at many points in history." with a chuckle at him.

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

He nodded.

"It was. And yet it was proven right."

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

With a twinkle in her eye "Or do enough believe in it so it is made so? For example, how long did so many think the world was flat. Scientist of the time thought it and so it was proven "true"." mischievously whispered to him.

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

He chuckled softly.

"Yeah, I know. But Chemistry will always be with right."

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

Leaning closer to him "Can you make gold out of straw?"

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

He laughed.

"Not so much, no."

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

"Are you so sure..." with a look of he must be holding out the magic potion.

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

He laughed.

"Yeah, I'm sure. I haven't taken the Alchemy course yet."

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

"But you must realize watching Ice become steam - would of seem magical to those watching..." with a grin at him.

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

He nodded.

"Oh, I know. It's why I don't fault myths and fairy tales. I just find them hard to get into without picking them apart."

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

She smiled at him "What's your favorite supernatural creature?" leaning towards him and still keeping her voice down.

Admin Posts : 3049 Join date : 2010-10-06

He paused.

"Brownies."

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

"Why?" raising an eye brow at him.
