He nodded a little, and kept eating.

Wilhelm returned after a minute or two, reclaiming his seat. He rubbed his eyes and checked his watch.

Connor looked over at him, cocking his head slightly. "Hey." he greeted, then ate more.

"Hey." He crossed his legs. "Dinner ends in.. 15 minutes. Give or take five."

He nodded. "Alright, alright. Ah'm almost done."

Wilhelm nodded wordlessly, leaning back in his chair once more.

Connor finished up and took care of his plate.

Wilhelm, upon seeing Connor return, stood up and pushed in his chair. "Are we ready to go?

Connor nodded a little bit. "Yeah. We headin' back t' the dorm, or…?" he raised his eyebrows a little bit, looking over at his roommate curiously.

Wilhelm tilted his head. "I assumed so. Did you have other plans? I'm sorry." He added, scrunching up a handful of the curls on the back of his head.

"Ah dinnae really, no. Ah want tae get a new sketchbook soon, mine's filling up, but…" he shrugged slightly.

"..If you wanted to go into town, I think there's an option this weekend, but we'd be skinned alive if we tried to go now." Wilhelm shook his head. "You can use pages from my notebook if you need to."

He looked over, and nodded a little bit. "Ah, alright. An' yeah, ah figured. Oh! Thanks, Wil." he gave him a bright little smile.

Wilhelm returned the smile. "It's not an issue. I think it's pretty good paper, but I'm not too educated on the difference."

He shrugged. "So long 's all ah use 's light pencil, it should be fine. 's if ah do too much pressure or use paints tha' it'll stop holdin' up."

Wilhelm nodded, beginning to walk away from the table. He let Connor catch up before passing the table itself. "Sure. It holds up well enough to ink, I've found."

"Yeah, bu' paint 's thicker, and ink does nae actually stress the paper too much. 's if ah erase and redraw over an' over that'll make it buckle." he replied.

"..Fair enough." Wilhelm nodded. "I don't think I've ever tried any painting on it. Not my strong suit, to be sure. I just do rough ink sketches."

He nodded. "Right. An' like ah said, paper takes ink different than it does paint, an' then it usually takes pencil up to a certain point an' then it buckles because o' stress."

"Sure." Wilhelm rocked on his heels slightly. "I'll give you some paper when we get back."

"Sorry, that was a lot o' information yeh did nae really need." He said, biting his lip a little. "But thanks."

"No, no, it's fine. After all, you listen to my impromptu speeches on plants, so I don't mind that you'd talk about paper." Wilhelm laughed.

He laughed as well. "Right, bu' paper is nae even all that interesting." He replied, shrugging his shoulders.

Wilhelm shook his head. "Less interesting than grass? Come on."

He laughed, ducking his head slightly. "Ah…true." he replied.
