good study habits...?.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

[OKAY so, it had been later on during lunch, so there was little chaos to be found in the cafeteria. Espio - while trying to defrazzle his head from all those reality jumps and their contents - decided that while he's picking at his food, he might as well try and study. You know, to prepare for the next quarter!

So, the lizard armed himself with an Aerospace textbook and a plate of something, and seated himself at one of the tables at the back. However, the something - now stone cold - has gone almost untouched, and a page hasn't been turned in quite some time.

That would be because he's fallen asleep.]

People have got to stop sleeping in the cafeteria. It just reminds me of Ace.

Hn?

[]

I wasn't sleeping!

[fierybluebird]

Oh? And what do you call it?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

[]

...processing.

[fierybluebird]

What?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

This. Processing all that info. []

[fierybluebird]

By sleeping.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

...great, my lunch went cold.

[fierybluebird]

That happens when you fall asleep in the middle of it.

Is the material boring you or are you just not sleeping well at night?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Why does there have to be a problem? Maybe I just felt like a nap. ...but if you have to know, it's the latter.

[]

[fierybluebird]

Why not? [Worried Dad frown.]

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Beats me.

[]

...other than the worldhopping thing's being kinda crazy. It's kinda knocked me out.

[]

[fierybluebird]

So basically this is about watching the whole universe explode. Possibly again?

[Not patient enough to pretend not to notice this time.]

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

...that obvious, huh?

[]

I'm fine. I just need to, well, catch up. And... oh yeah, I had something I needed to talk to you about.

[fierybluebird]

Catch up?

Oh? What's on your mind?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Yeah, catch up. I've let myself fall behind on all my training, and I can't do it when I'm tired and hungry. It's getting annoying. Sure, it's only been two weeks or so, but...

Sorry, that's not really the point.

I need to do something for Toby, and I don't know what. Any ideas?

[fierybluebird]

Espio, that much training won't make you stronger. If you don't give your brain and body time to absorb it all, it won't do any good, eh.

[Tilts his head, mildly bewildered.] Something like what? I mean, why? The reason modifies the what.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

I think you missed the point. I mean I've not done anything for two weeks, and I need to get back on it before I start rusting or something stupid like that. But like I just said, I can't do it tired and hungry - the effort'd be worthless.

...and I wanna do something for him because he's Toby. Do I need another reason?

[fierybluebird]

Right. So you should sleep and eat.

No, you don't, but if it's a just a random present just because he's Toby, then get him anything.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe a present, maybe just something to do, I don't know. I'm... not much of a present person.

[fierybluebird]

What, like... a date?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

[]

Maybe.

[fierybluebird]

[Blinks. GRINS. HIDES IT and tones it back to deadpan and very very even-toned drawling.]

Well, he likes carnivals.

[fierybluebird]

Like when he went back home from that recent thing, he went to a carnival.
