Saturday morning sees Bella with her notebooks about magic all in her knapsack, her medallion safety-pinned by its chain to her bra just in case she trips the wrong way, waiting with Charlie for pickup for the Avalon trip.

Darren blushes and giggles. "Thank you! You're lovely company, too."

[shesepankh]

"I would imagine that's why you asked me out, yes."

[castmyown]

"Yeah, that's the general idea of how dating works, or so I'm led to believe. I could be wrong. The point could be to ask out horrible people and try to test your own patience. "

[shesepankh]

"Your impression accords with mine! But perhaps we read the same outdated literature."

[castmyown]

"If we do, then lucky us! Having the same incorrect views of the world."

[shesepankh]

"Us and our out-of-touch models of dating will probably leave us happier than the rest of our cohort! Yay!"

[castmyown]

"Yeah! It's perfect, this is great!"

[shesepankh]

"Makes you wonder why people would do it any other way, really."

Here is their food! It is so sea-ish.

[castmyown]

That is definitely a thing that their food is!

"It really does. Though maybe they look at us and think, 'Why would they do it that way? Our way is so much better!'"

[shesepankh]

"Well, maybe, but better along what axis?"

Om nom nom fish.

[castmyown]

"On... Whatever axis those kinds of people measure on?"

Om nom nom! Delicious fish.

[shesepankh]

"Dubious. Very dubious."

[castmyown]

"Well I can't be expected to understand how people with such alien motivations work."

[shesepankh]

"Failure of perspective-taking. Deficient empathy. Oh no."

[castmyown]

"This is what happens when I skip my class on Remedial Ethics."

[shesepankh]

"You will have to study hard for the final if you want to pass."

[castmyown]

"I really will. Will you help me study it? I might need a tutor."

[shesepankh]

"I could probably see my way to doing that."

[castmyown]

"Yay! Thank you, Bella!"

He smiles brightly at her.

[shesepankh]

"I am very benevolent. I am an advanced ethics student and everything."

[castmyown]

"Ooo, advanced ethics. How fancy! What sorts of things do you learn about in Advanced Ethics?"

[shesepankh]

"Dumbledoring better than Dumbledore for fun and profit," says Bella, with authority.

[castmyown]

Darren laughs. "Obviously I need to get into Advanced Ethics. Once I make sure I don't fail out of Remedial Ethics."

[shesepankh]

"First things first," admonishes Bella.

[castmyown]

"Fine, fine, but I am just excited by the prospects and now I'm driven to achieve!"
