justoneconditionNow that a new semester was starting, Bruce was back to holding regular office hours. It was a little different than it had been last semester, though, because instead of taking some time out of his personal time at the hotel to make himself available to students for a few hours, office hours were looking more like the personal time, while his time at 33 Apocalypse ran the risk of being a little more social.
That was fine, though, because Bruce's office was comfortable (read: spartan), and if he showed up significantly earlier than he assumed most students had an interest in waking up, he figured that he was guaranteed at least a few solid hours of introvert recharge time before anyone came by to bother him.
Uh. Talk to him. Not 'bother.' He didn't know why he'd thought 'bother.'

Date: 2013-07-10 10:04 pm (UTC)Bruce was at least used to him, though, so he greeted Clint with a somewhat distracted but nonetheless friendly, "Hey, Barton. Uh, be careful not to hit any walls."

She stuck her head in and stared at Bruce a moment. Thinking. "You're new. Ish. Can I ask you a kinda personal question?"
no subject
Date: 2013-07-10 10:05 pm (UTC)He wasn't sure how to avoid answering it except by countering with a question of his own, so-- "Are you in my class?"

Date: 2013-07-10 10:16 pm (UTC)There were a lot of potential somethings. But he didn't think this conversation was going to be one of them.
"Are you on my roster?" he wondered, mildly amused now.

Date: 2013-07-10 10:33 pm (UTC)...God, Bruce felt old.
"I..." He needed a minute to come up with a question in response to that one. "Is your name Astra?"

Date: 2013-07-10 10:40 pm (UTC)There was no plaque up with his name on it -- which had been a conscious choice on Bruce's part that had required being rather awkward at the custodian who had come by to put one up -- but there was a degree from Penn State hanging behind his desk, just low enough to be mostly obstructed from view by Bruce's head.
"Can I help you with something?

Date: 2013-07-10 10:43 pm (UTC)That wasn't a no. Or a yes.
