Ravi\'s day had been pretty typical for him. He\'d helped out in the Infirmary for most of it, as Faris was gone. The demon liked to keep busy, though, so he\'d headed over to the sickbay. It was rare that there wasn\'t something that needed doing there, which made it a pleasant place to be for someone with busy hands. Well, so long as they didn\'t mind the smell of blood the place could be rife with. Today had been a rather slow day, though, so Ravi had spent much of it doing simply tasks.
Ravi yawned as he pushed open the door to his room, not bothering to put up the guards against intruders just yet. No one would be bursting in, and he was ready for a nap at the moment. Ravi pulled a bunch of books from his bed, stacking them haphazardly on the small desk beneath the mirror. It was a homey room, much, much larger than most of the student or apprentice rooms - Ravi had lucked out in that he\'d been the last of one too many apprentices, so he\'d gotten the room of an old master. He wasn\'t complaining.
It didn\'t take Ravi too long to clear the bed of books. He smiled in anticipation, then began to strip off the majority of his clothing. He always overheated if he stayed fully dressed while sleeping, which was precisely why he never did it. Ravi pulled his shirt over his head and was in the process of shaking it to the ground when the door burst open, then shut with a slam.
The noise made Ravi jump several feet into the air, his large wings flaring out. It was probably a good thing that his hands were currently tied up in his shirt or he might have thrown something at the intruder that he really wouldn\'t like. Ravi calmed down, though, when he saw that the intruder didn\'t seem to be threatening but... sad. The dry heaves tipped him off to that one.
Ravi waited a couple of minutes, still frozen where he was. It was rather shocking to have someone burst in on him like that - first time it had happened, roommates discounted. The demon figured he should give the boy some time to chill out, though - he didn\'t exactly look ready to talk at the moment.
It took some time, but the kid finally collected himself and turned around. Ravi just finished shaking his shirt to the floor (finally!), then raised a hand in greeting. "Hey. Uh, any reason you picked my room?" the demon asked good-naturedly. He didn\'t expect the student to have an answer to that one, but that was okay. Ravi had just wanted to break the silence, really, because it looked like the 5th level wasn\'t going to anytime soon.
