It had been too long since rosetto had had a night on the town. His studies were much too important to him now. This was his future, his ONLY future, and he had to make it the best that he could. The two classes and short visit to the SIM were quite enough interaction for him and he resigned to the solitude of his dorm room. His roommate had brought home a friend and her constant chattering had made it almost impossible for him to read. But rosetto was raised a gentleman and so he too kept this young cadet entertained with his wit and charm. He showed off his drawings and designs and shared some stories about life on Mars. By comparison, it was a very rural existence. This cadet knew nothing about botany or hydroponics but she was eager to learn as he continued his short lesson.

 

"Where's John with that pizza?", he asked quaintly. She fiddled with her personal communicator and paged him. He was only a block away, standing in a line admiring a local acting troupe who were performing on the plaza. You could hear the syncopathic music though tinny and narrow echoing from her hand-held. It wasn't unpleasant but rosetto was hungry as he made an audible sigh...

 

"He's on his way. Canadian Bacon, Right?" She asked and rosetto gave her a quick nod. "So what is it that you're studying, rosetto?"

 

"The text is from my general History class", he replied as he returned to his desk chair, leaned back in it and put his feet up. "I have many aspirations but haven't really decided on a Senior Thesis."

 

"Well, mine is going to be on the mating rituals of the Denebian Slime Devils. I have always been fascinated by their ability to mate in the midst of battle. It's like they're doing it out of sheer desperation of survival and yet there is a level of passion that rises between them that is almost beautiful. They have these cute little..."

 

He listened to the cadet chatter as if he was actually interested and nodded when appropriate but his mind was elsewhere ((sorry, need to feed the puppies here, real life happens)).
