Glancing down at the book he was carrying she was impressed, "Edgar Allen Poe. Not really my type of reading, but a very interesting read for a fourth year." She glanced back at the statue before turning her attention towards the student. "So what brings you to the corridor? Just out getting some exercise?" She was so others probably were too.
Connor was glad to see a smiling face, so many of his peers were not smiling by this point in the term. Cabin Fever as he'd labeled it seemed to be getting to most everyone. "
As good as I can be." There was a lot more to this than the cold, mainly his girl troubles. But he wasn't sure if he should unburden himself to a professor? He didn't know her that well and his issues were his own fault and idiotic at best. "
Walking around seems to be the best way to keep from feeling trapped." He looked at the statue, there sure were a lot of statues here. Salem was slightly more modern, having been built much later so there weren't nearly as many.
He looked to his book and then back up at her. "
Oh, i love Poe. His work is a bit dark but it also holds little bits of truth.. i'm a fifth year though, i was reading this last year as well." He smiled and wasn't offended he saw it as a compliment. "
Honestly he's one of my heroes. I want to be a writer when I graduate." So he often had his nose in a book and certain stories of Poe's always had him interested. "
How are you doing, Professor? You seem to be taking this all pretty well."
