Department Meeting

"Nathan, you almost scared me to death," said Klaus, then laughed. "But I admit it was a good prank."

Nathan patted Klaus on the back. "I knew you could use a little fun. You've been too serious lately, man. We need a more relaxed Klaus."

Klaus sighed, picking up his cell phone and checking his messages. "I know, I know. It's just that things have been a bit complicated lately, both at college and in the game."

Nathan sat down on Klaus' bed, nodding understandingly. "I see. But seriously now, what are you going to do today? You mentioned a department meeting earlier, right?"

Klaus nodded, getting out of bed and putting his books back in his backpack. "Yes, we have a department meeting later. Until then, I need to study a bit more and prepare for tomorrow's class. I think I can fit in some time for the game, too."
