[[This may later be retconned, but for the time being I am assuming Alex was barely at the dorm on Wednesday when Sean arrived. At first it was mostly classes, then later due to the training sessions from Hell provided by Dr. Lord. But late that evening, Alex drags his exhausted carcass back to the dorm and bumps into Sean...]]
"Um, hi, are you Sean, or did we get another new guy? Oh, and I'm Alex."

"Hey Alex!" Sean shakes Alex's hand warmly. "You look exhausted. Can I help you carry anything?"
He'll reach for whatever Alex has in his arms and take it.
"Well, you're certainly taller than I expected." Sean looks Alex up and down. Alex hears Sean then mutter under his breath, "Well, this might cause some complications..."
"Oh! I have a gift for you...hehe."

Note Alex isn't carrying anything - except he is wearing his backpack (which has two toolkits, books, a small laptop, etc.).
Alex returns Sean's handshake saying, "I...am...exhausted. I thought fighting a Nemean Bear was tough work, but Dr. Lord's training makes that look simple."
"Yeah, I guess it's hard to tell height from an email." Alex pauses for a moment to catch his breath. You notice a few large bruises on Alex's face. Then Alex continues, "Um, a gift? So I guess you are Sean then, right?"

"OH. Yes, I'm Sean. Sorry about that. I swear I meant to answer your question."
"Your gift is just in my room. Let me bring it to you."

"You really didn't have to bring me anything." Alex pants.
Then he smiles and says, "But thanks."

"Well, you had mentioned wanting to learn the Pipes. These are similar, but for indoor use."
Sean hands Alex a box.
"They're Uilleann Pipes. They're softer, with a rounder tone. And they're powered by a bellows you pump with one arm, so you don't have to worry about looking like a bullfrog blowing into a bag."

"Sean, you shouldn't have," says Alex as his eyes light up with glee. "Thank you, it's really a wonderful."
"But if the rest of the Scions here try to lynch us, don't say I didn't warn you," Alex says with a laugh.
Then with a slight frown Alex continues, "I always thought that expression was nonsense...but it does hurt when I laugh now."

"Which expression?"
Sean looks closely at Alex.
"Are you ok? Hey, if you need, I brought plenty of booze with me, and there's definitely a bottle of Irish Whiskey ready to take the edge off of any feelings of sorrow or pain."

"It only hurts when I laugh," Alex says with a lopsided smile.
"Thanks for asking, but I'm OK, Sean. Dr. Lord said these bruises would fade quickly but still help his lessons sink in."
"I think I'll grab a big glass of milk, and then I'm gonna get some rest. I'll torture our ears another day, if you have no objection."

"No worries. Feel better, man."
