It wasn't too often that Adriana wandered in the library. Usually, she went in there for a purpose, finished her business (be it get the books she needed, meet up with a partner for some project, or whatever other reason), and left. She rarely found herself wandering the aisles of books, for no other reason than that she would prefer to be outdoors.

However, Fortis had said something particularly interesting today that had reminded her of something she'd read in a book at Beauxbatons. Unfortunately, she'd left those books at home, which lead her to scanning the shelves and books of the CCI library. Finding one book that sounded promising, she pulled it out and leaned against the bookshelf, completely absorbed in searching through the book, she didn't notice the other student walking towards her until she ran into her.

"Sorry," she said, catching the book from falling before turning to see who it was. "I-- Oh," she paused, then smiled a little, amused. "Rowan..."

Rowan walking into things - and other people - was not a new thing by any stretch of the imagination. She was often preoccupied by her thoughts or the book she was reading, and didn't always pay careful attention to her surroundings. So feeling herself walk into another body, she automatically opened her mouth for the inevitable apology.

"Oh jeez, I'm really sorry. That was totally my--" Seeing who it was that she had just walked into, Rowan couldn't hide the look of loathing that crossed her face for the briefest of moments before she got control of herself.

"Oh. It's you." Not the most gracious tone of voice, but Rowan had her reasons, certainly. "Sorry." Expression carefully blank, Rowan looked at the other girl.

The complete one-eighty of Rowan's reaction only made Adriana's little smile grow. It was just too funny. She waved a hand dismissively, shrugging a shoulder.

"It's no biggie," she assured, ignoring the curtness of her second apology. She peered at Rowan's collection of books. "Working on the project? What were you thinking of doing it on?"

Not exactly in the mood to exchange polite chit-chat with Adriana, Rowan was also not usually a rude person. She dredged up all the courtesy that she was able to muster, and forced herself to sound simply bored. It was really the best that she could manage for the time being.

"Yeah, getting a head start on it. I was thinking of doing a report on the changes in standard, school taught defensive spells over time, to see if there were differences for social and cultural reasons or if the changes of the spells were because of advances in spell theory and foundation." The words came out as a string of facts, almost clinical in their delivery.
