Fort Unicorn, Monday Evening

[pulseof_life]

While other students were undoubtedly annoyed at their accommodations, Yeul had adjusted without really thinking about anything except for the fact that Evan being assigned to the same… bouncy castle was an interesting coincidence given that he'd been a puppy for two weeks now and she'd been looking after him and Ozzy.

Yeul read while lying on her stomach, with Ozzy on one side of herself and Evan on the other. The two dogs snoozed.

Every now and then she gave up on reading for minutes at a time to watch the outside from the screen walls.

She'd slept in more uncomfortable places. This one was… still probably the strangest.

Which was a feat.

[Mostly for Evan but open, sure!]

"Two weeks..." Evan fell quiet at that, frowning a little and wrapping his arms around his knees, his shirt mostly buttoned. "Oh, no. That's two weeks in a row I wasn't at the library. Mr. Constantine is going to think I'm irresponsible."

Some of Evan's troubles were truly more horrible than others.

"I am sure he'll understand if you explain," Yeul said reassuringly. "I understand that it is a frequent happening on the island."

"True, I guess," Evan agreed with a small frown and a little nod to match. "And Mr. Constantine doesn't really seem like the kind of person who would get upset over missing a couple of shifts on account of having paws..."

Ozzy sneezed and flopped down on the floor beside Evan, causing the bouncy house to wiggle a bit all over again. Not bad for a half-corgi.

"Not that there's anything the matter with paws," Evan amended.

"Yours were very cute," she shared, because it was true and was tangentially connected to the conversation. "Though I am pleased you can talk again."

[genesishero]

"I missed talking," Evan admitted. "I mean, not that I'm much of a talker usually, but it's nice to be able to just say what I'm thinking, when I feel the need to say it, you know?"

Needy kid.
