[restitui]

You!

[ said as little cheerfully ]

You're the one suggesting it, so you must be at least a little interrsted, right?

[shadowgraphics]

If I wasn't interested, I wouldn't ask questions.

I'd like to find out more.

[restitui]

[ he grins!!! swift interested in something, ]

Then you can come with me.

And if it feels like we're going some place to sus, like the subway, then we pause and call in Gingham. Deal?

[shadowgraphics]

[smiles a little bit]

Deal.

[restitui]

Deal.

[ offers a hand!!! ]

I also promise not to do something stupid. Probably.`

[shadowgraphics]

[takes his hand, shaking]

Probably.

I'll call someone if you do.

[restitui]

Please don't, I'll get scolded again.

[ lightly enough said: ]

When do you want to try?

[shadowgraphics]

I'll call someone who won't. Probably.

But I'd be down to try it whenever you want to.

[restitui]

[ ... he's not going to say it's literally anyone who really knows him now, ]

[ thinks about it, ]

Now? Unless you have more questions. It's unlikely anything will happen, but if it does you'll probably wind up with even more.

[shadowgraphics]

[tilts his head, then shrugs and pushes to his feet]

Then we should wait until then, shouldn't we? I'm fine with now.

[restitui]

[ shouldering his bag as he gets up, puts the bell in his pocket for now. ]

You're either really interested or really bored. Or both? [ Cheeky. ]

[shadowgraphics]

All I was going to do was figure out how something works, so . . . mm, it's both.

[restitui]

It's definitely both.

[ amused ] You can go to school with us if you're really bored.

[shadowgraphics]

There's school here?

[restitui]

[ starts heading to the door before we forget. ]

Yeah. We got Frost to help. Some of the other adults show up sometimes to help, too, but it's mostly him.

[shadowgraphics]

. . . I'll think about it.

[restitui]

It's something to do that's not, you know, waiting for the next performance which may not be fun.

[ Thinks about it as they enter the lobby area. ]

Work our way up and then down?

[shadowgraphics]

Mm, that's true. I've admittedly not been back to school since - . . . coming back.

[gives the lobby a good look around, then nods]

Sounds good to me.

[restitui]

Oh. I get that... It was pretty hard for me, too, but for some different added reasons.

[ He smiles a little, nods, and then moves to take the elevator upstairs. ]

There's only a few of us here, so maybe it will be easier?

[shadowgraphics]

[a noise of understanding as he follows him into the elevator]

My parents wanted me to go back right away to try to get back to "normal".

But it could be easier - less pressure, maybe?

[restitui]

[ He nods in understanding. ]

It might be. Worth a shot, right?

[shadowgraphics]

Worth a shot.

Where do you want to start up here?

[restitui]

[ |b Good question! ]

Probably not the waterpark. The outer deck?

[shadowgraphics]

Outerdeck would work.

[let us head for the outer deck!]

[restitui]

[ To the outer deck which is.... cold and snowy, actually. It's almost like we're in the middle of that season. He takes a breath to dig out the bell. ]

Let's just make this quick?


[ Said as he moves closer to the railing and rings the bell! The sound starts and then gets swallowed up. ]
