Cass had managed not to blush this time at the compliment. Yes! 

“What, you want this room? We could also go beat that guy up and claim it as yours, you know... It’ll be a curbstomp with us two eh?” Ryan said whilst cracking his knuckles. 

“Don’t be silly” Cass giggled, giving him a soft punch in the arm. “I’m deciding whether to say hello! He looks like he’s asleep... I think we should leave him alone for now, but we can come back after we’ve claimed our rooms right?” Cass went further into the lounge area and realised this dorm only had two rooms anyway. She wandered out of the dorm and into the next one. It was very much the same layout except this one had three rooms instead of two. “Oohh, I like this one” she gushed, running over to examine the ancient-looking log fireplace. She’d love to sit by that when it’s lit at night. She checked out each of the three rooms, they were all very similar. She picked one at random and plonked her small backpack down on the bed, declaring “this one is mine” with a giggle. She ran back to the lounge and sat down on the sofa, it was super comfy, much comfier than her one back home. She looked longingly at the unlit fireplace for a moment, then back at Ryan. 

“So, it’s your turn to decide now! Want to go explore some more?” She hoped he’d pick a room in her dorm, but she didn’t want to push the matter. They’d only just met after all.
