WHAT in person
WHERE QUIET MOUNDS SCHOOL FOR THE GIFTED
WHEN day 9, morning

[ anyway someone ended up at the school gate even though he didn't want to and every time he kind of wanders away from it he ends up right back at the gate so you can bet he's more than a little pissed about it. ]

The hell.

[ anyway did you also get taken to school against your will. what's up. ]

I know I don't need to; but they're things I'd do anyway. Cooking food, doing laundry, cleaning. . .

I mean, you can help if you'd like to, but. . . [ that sounds too domestic for him. ]

[punchiest]

Pass.

[ yuck ]

[cannonbeauty]

[ she figured he'd say that ]

Then it's settled.

[punchiest]

It's not like you're doing me a favor. I can take care of myself and you.

[ listen!1 ]

[cannonbeauty]

[ that's the cutest thing she's ever heard, gosh. ]

It's not supposed to be a favor. You're family, so you don't owe me anything.

[punchiest]

Just shut up and accept it.

[ LOOK, ]

[cannonbeauty]

[ my cute little brother can't be this tsun ]

Since you're here, want to help me post flyers?

[ maybe then he'll tell her why he's here. Hmmm. ]

[punchiest]

No.

[ but then he holds out his hand so you know. ]

[cannonbeauty]

[ Okay, have a quarter of the stack. ]

I don't want to keep you if you're in the middle of something.

[punchiest]

Whatever.

[cannonbeauty]

If you aren't here for class, are you just checking out the lay of the land?

[punchiest]

No. 'M just here.

[cannonbeauty]

If you're looking for a quiet place to nap, the Library might be better. . .

[punchiest]

I know.

[cannonbeauty]

. . . Did something happen?

[punchiest]

No.

[ shuffles through the fliers ]

People actually read this stuff?

[ fliers. posters. in general. ]

[cannonbeauty]

I'm sure some people do. Do you think I should put something online?

[punchiest]

. . . not if you're gonna talk to them.

[cannonbeauty]

[ r u d e.

Frowning a little. ]

It's okay to trust some people.

[punchiest]

You don't even know them.

[cannonbeauty]

Won't I get to know them by talking to them?

[punchiest]

No.

[cannonbeauty]

Ah, right. Because people would lie.

[ or so he says, but she'll chalk that up to him looking out for her and be appreciative of that. ]

Well, I like talking to people face to face better, anyway.

[punchiest]

. . . if you meet 'em, I'll come.

[cannonbeauty]

Good. I want to do more things with you.
