.........This was JUST an over. It wasn't....that big of a deal. He was a smart person. He would....figure this out.

Wiping some gathered sweat from his forehead, Gabe looked at his notes/recipe...trying to correlate temperatures with buttons and knobs. After several moments of messing and adjusting the contraption...he thought he'd had it sorted...and put the prepared dish into it's fiery depths. Small successes....It counted for...something, right?

.........and there was the sigh. SIGH. Yes, that was right. He wasn't alone.

See, Gabriel didn't want to fight...and further more, he didn't want to be reminded of what Clara had done...or...tried? to do...but clearly, ignoring the redhead wasn't going to work...and...Well, he felt bad for her. What was she here for? Was she also attempting the Astronomy homework?

......................."What?"

Was that ............... a word?

Sure, it wasn’t the nicest word or the nicest tone but it was something. Anything was progress, currently. Now she had to reply, but … she wasn’t really sure what she wanted to say. “Hi.” That was a good start but she needed more than that. Part of her wanted to apologise for, uh, things … but that wasn’t smart. She’d rather just forget about that and she was sure he would too. Moving on. “Are you doing Astronomy homework?” It seemed to her like he was but you could never be too sure. If he was … perhaps she could ask for help. Or something.

Anything was better than her pitiful bags of flour and caster sugar.
