caughtinanetwork | [text/action] 002; A Wish to the Starry Sky

[It's been a couple of weeks since Luke arrived. In all that time, he'd never quite relaxed. He still feels like there's something he has to do, a duty he hasn't fulfilled. And sitting here unable to do anything is making him more and more restless.

On top of that, he keeps having such awful nightmares. It wasn't like this before... before he even got thrown out of the manor in the first place. Then he had to kill people - to kill or be killed...

Akzeriuth just made it all ten times worse.

So, late at night, he lays on the couch with his head on the arm of it while staring out at the balcony, and Guy sleeping on the other end. Once he realizes staring isn't going to do anything, he quietly heads out to the balcony, where he just sits and looks out for a while.

After that, and realizing that he feels terrible from lack of sleep, he decides he really ought to do something about this. Though he hates typing on the SFC, he'd rather not potentially wake Guy up by talking, so he'll try it anyway, lazy typing and all.]

what do you do if you cant sleep?

[ Because she can of course! ]

There is no reason why I cannot make him a student of mine.

waht if he dosent want to be? what i f he all ready has a teacher?

[He has no idea if Luke does or not, but he can't just abandon his friend to this fate.]

If his teacher is here then I can simply discuss it with them. If his teacher is not here then he doesn't have much of a choice. He should learn how to write.

but he all readey know how to right! i was righting to him just fne!

[Luke, he's trying to save you, he really, really is. D:]

Write, not right Lloyd. If both you and Luke don't present a five-page paper, then I will ask for you to do a ten-page paper for me.

aw man!

[Wait, wait. Does this mean he and Luke can work together on this? Lloyd checks her last message again.

you and Luke

a five-page paper

Yes, that definitely sounds like a group project to him. Lloyd cheers up just a little. Half the work for them both! And maybe Luke will be better at writing papers than him!

Besides, the threat of an extra five pagers works wonders on his motivation.]

okay fine you dont haev to give us mor work!

Good. I expect to see a paper from the both of you two weeks from tonight.

[She can't hear the groan he makes when he reads what she just wrote, but she knows him well enough that she can probably imagine it anyway.]

cant it b ethree? what if we need extra time to walk betwen our plases?

[Even knowing she'll probably reject it doesn't stop him from begging for extra time.]

[ If this was voice there would be a sigh. Oh Lloyd. Surely you two don't live that far away from each other. And really this should be an individual task for the two of you but she'll let this slide. Once. Only because Luke has never done a paper. ]

... Two and a Half. If you try to ask for any more time I will bring it back down to two.

[Lloyd knows better than to press his luck, though he's still torn between disappointment at not getting more time, and joy that he got what he did.]

thanks profesor. dont worry we'll definitly turn it in
