Dragging his cello down from Ravenclaw tower was getting tiresome, but Thornton didn't like to chance the availability of the Room or the quality of the instruments therein, so this was his only option.

Well, not really. It was an option to practice in the common room. But that would mean actually staying in the common room to practice and that... knowing what he knew... was not going to happen.

Approaching the wall where he would lean and imagine an acoustically balance practice space, the increasingly gangly Eagle hesitated and then came to a full stop. There were people there. Eden, in particular, with someone he didn't know. Thornton weighed his options as he set his case on the floor. He could go find a classroom, though the acoustics were often terrible. He could decide that practice wasn't happening today, though he really wanted to play. He could risk the common room, though the chances that he would run into Maddie or Kyroh or Dima nearly ruled that out immediately. He could hope... that they were just lingering. Picking up his case, Thornton decided and approached them.

"Coming or going?" Please be going... please be going... Thornton just really needed the room.
