Comments

Week 0: Monday

[ercnerd]

[What he thought would be a funny discussion about cats turned out to be a neverending performance of "The Rum Tum Tugger." It was a nightmare that refused to end. Now that it's finally over, one thing's for sure: he's never going back.

Not long after he's decided this, he, looking every bit the part of a punk in Chad colors, finds a familiar face in the gym, which he almost walked past, because no thanks! But it's Luxanna. He likes her enough to stride up in the middle of her practice.]

I've had enough of that song to last me a lifetime. If all the other classes are like that, I may just not bother anymore.

[illuminance]

[ i'm crying why are you calling them Chad colors instead of the seasonal theme name.

anyway lux slightly fumbles a catch of her baton, distracted when she spots him. after a little nod of greeting she starts twirling the baton again, more idly. ]

Oh? Was the music not to your tastes? What a surprise.

[ she's joking... ]

[ercnerd]

[Chad is important.]

I can only listen to the same song so many times.

[His gaze drops to the baton.]

You look like you know what you're doing.

[illuminance]

How many times do you think they'll make you listen to it, if this class is to last a full term?

[ as for the baton, hm. she considers. ]

I'm a fast learner. But I'll admit that when I was a child I would sometimes be scolded for playing with my aunt's baton.

[ercnerd]

[Zero times, because he is not going back. No one can make him.]

Sheesh. Scolded for doing something like that? Your family sounds strict.

Week 0: Friday

[ercnerd]

[Sieghart is back in his uniform with small bite marks on his face and their faded remnants on his lower arms. With his sword balanced by the hilt over his shoulder, he walks the dorm grounds when he spots Luxanna.]

Oh, it's you. How are you doing?

[illuminance]

... I've been better...

[ but ]

I was worried about you.

[ercnerd]

This is nothing. We should be more worried about what else happened last night.

[illuminance]

I'm worried about that too, but there's no reason not to be concerned with both.

Week 0: Saturday | text

[illuminance]

How do you feel, after today? Is there any lingering haziness?

[ercnerd]

I don't remember anything if that's what you're asking

[illuminance]

I'm not trying to get anymore more out of you.

Just concerned.

[ercnerd]

i'm fine

[A moment later, he adds:]

what about you

Week 1: Sunday

[ercnerd]

[Sieghart is outside, limping around as best as he can with a splint that covers the entirety of his left leg. It doesn't seem to affect his mood as he greets Luxanna.]

Hey, Luxanna. How's the excitement been treating you?

[illuminance]

[ she comes over to walk with him, mostly so that he doesn't have to come closer on his own. jeez. ]

Miserably, as I'm sure you're surprised to hear.

[ercnerd]

[She's so considerate.]

You can never predict what's going to happen in this place. Even the things that should be routine go off-track like this . . .

[illuminance]

I was not thrilled with Manwol's decision, but I understood and I accepted it.

[ speaking of it actually has her trembling with repressed fury. ] And they - took even that from us.

Week 2: Monday

[ercnerd]

[He casually limps through the gardens when he happens across Luxanna.]

The flowers are beautiful, aren't they?

[illuminance]

[ she gives him a smile! and once again will approach so he doesn't have to limp very far. poor injured. ]

Mm-hm. I think this may be the most relaxing place on campus, so far.

[ercnerd]

[Sweet girl.]

It's a little cold for my taste, but I agree. Is that why you're here?

[illuminance]

The cold can be refreshing! As long as you're careful to warm up, periodically.

[ hmm, she considers? ]

I think it's important that familiarize ourselves with all parts of this campus. But I will concede that I am mostly here because it's a nice view.

Week 7: Saturday

[illuminance]

[ lux is just chilling outside. she's not seeking people out, but she's not really avoiding anyone either, so. when she spots sieghart, she gives him a smile. ]

This went much better than the previous Saturdays have. I think?

[ercnerd]

[He gives her a small wave. After all the paint that Mabel poured on him during trial, he's since washed up and dressed down into a school shirt and pants for his walk.]

I'd say so.

How are you feeling? It's been a while.

[illuminance]

...

[ well, it's a good thing it's not emotion share week? but lux looks cheerful enough! ]

I'm doing well. I will be relieved to be done with all of this, and it is hard not to bask in knowing we are almost through. What about you?

[ercnerd]

["Enough."]

Still watching out for that light of hope, are you?

I'm the same.
