<strong>Character:</strong>Dr. Alex Moon<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Lounge > Kitchen<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Hiro briefly > those in kitchen<br/><br/>Alex glanced up from his paper as someone else came into the relatively quiet lounge and turned on the TV. Alex stared at him a moment, but the student turned the volume down a bit, Alex didn't see any reason to really be upset that his momentary isolation had been disrupted. Looking up did gave him the opportunity to notice James walking past the lounge. James nodded, and Alex smiled and inclined his head in acknowledgement back. He was actually almost done with his paper maybe he'd go over and chat...<br/><br/>It was at that moment several other students passed by, and Alex's eyes trailed after them as they disappeared from the door. A few seconds later there was a far too loud announcement that if anyone was hungry they should come to the kitchen. While the students that had passed by looked college age, hormonal supercharged high-schoolers and twelve-year-olds who breathed fire were everywhere. While Alex didn't really feel like a superior or like he should be one of the "adults" who ran the campus, it didn't change the fact that he was a teacher and was... somewhat in charge at least. He had never been comfortable with the open kitchens that just anyone could use, perhaps with he wasn't particularly competent in it himself. Alex folded his paper closed and fiddled with his cane. They were fine. He would just be meddling...<br/><br/>"<strong>Excuse me,</strong>" Alex said politely, getting the attention of the young man across from him, "<strong>can you watch my bag for a moment? I'll be right back...</strong>"<br/><br/>He walked down the hallway as briskly as he could manage with his minor limp. He stuck his head in quickly. There didn't seem to be any chaos or danger around, but still cleared his throat a bit and said, "Just be careful not to burn anything down alright?" to the students who had gathered around the kitchen. He tried to put a little bit of force into his voice, sound authoritarian... though he might've just come off as mean. As he turned to go, he noticed the school nurse, well, doctor, Doc James, getting some coffee.<br/><br/>"Good to see you outside the 'office' James..." Alex said briefly.
