"Really? And here I thought that was an open invitation. Hurry up, I'd rather get my hands on it while I'm still young."

"Oh, god no." Tilly shivered at the very idea of Randall being in her room, the room she SHARED with her blessedly oblivious roommate who wouldn't like Randall any more than Tilly did, she was sure of that.

And off she went, scurrying back to the sanctuary of her room to raid her bookshelves. She'd skip the biography of Mawdrey Hepburn, but maybe one of her more far-fetched black comedy books... Yeah, that'd do.

(( so much humor lies in an appropriately timed twilight reference. ))

He didn't laugh at the joke, if there was one, only because it flew over his head. "As long as it has chapters, no pictures, and tells a story, I don't really care. Surprise me, kid. Get something off one of your shelves if ya gotta."

"Right, right, no poetry." Tilly eyed him suspiciously for a second, then shrugged again and set her hands on her hips.

"You're lucky I like reading, I have some stuff onhand and I don't have to brave the librarian to get you anything. Just wait a bit, I'll get something, and no you cannot come to my dorm room. That's just creepy."

"I need you to get a book for me. It's been years since I've read one and I'm dying to read anything." He had no home, no worldly possessions. No nothing. It just seemed to make sense to ask someone who was around them on a regular basis. "Just don't get me anything /stupid/, got it?"

"Really?" If Tilly had eyebrows, she'd have raised them, but she had to settle for giving him this wide-eyed stare. She'd been expecting some kind of heist of university resources, not... something so mundane.

"If that's what you want, sure, sure. What kind of genre do you like? I bet you're not a romance novel type," Tilly said, now that the tension seemed to have dissipated she felt like being playful.

Oooh, she was getting snippy with him now. That was enough for him to clench his hands into fists as it took everything in him to not give her a good shove. The comb on the top of his head flattened back, and he had nothing short of a scowl on his face. "Listen, I need you to get something for me and you're the /only/ one 'competent' enough to do it."

She could definitely hear the quotation marks in that sentence, and Tilly narrowed her eyes in annoyance. Figures, even what would qualify as a compliment from Randall was back-handed.

"It seriously depends on what you want, dude..." Eh, it wouldn't hurt to hear what it was before she would be obliged to refuse. Tilly shrugged. "But I'm listening. What is it you need?"

For a student you sure do ask extremely stupid questions. Where have you /been/? I've been lookin' all over for ya and NOW I find you. [Alright, it was a bit odd that he seemed to be so controlling over someone, but after being banished in the swamp and still not feeling safe enough to show his face in the monster world, he didn't /really/ have many others to talk to.]

Tilly crosses her arms, unimpressed. She may be as tough as a Boston creme pie but she could pretend otherwise, she's an actress after all. Highscare plays totally count for that.

"I've been at school, where I'm paying out the nose in tuition fees to even BE. Now why would you be looking for me? Do you think I owe you money?" She can't really imagine why else Randall would deign to hang around her, much less search for her.

[Casually appears right beside her without saying a word. His first two sets of arms were folded over his chest as he waited for her to notice him. Perhaps he wanted something?]

Tilly's reflexes are improving, it only takes her a couple seconds to become aware of Randall's presence, and that meant a jump and a yelp.

"Ah! Do you have to keep doing that??" She glowers at him and brushes off her skirt absently.

This reminds me of someone...
