Jann is minding his own business. He is playing by himself in the courtyard with a wooden sword: this definitely constitutes minding his own business. Nothing that follows is his fault.

"Well, I don't think I'd mind after two more rabbit food meals just having to eat not-grown things like cheese which is made from milk and bread which is baked annnnnd bacon which is fried."

"...I think bread is made from grown things..." says Milo dubiously.

Permalink

"It's mostly flour. Flour is milled," says Jann. "You can put seeds in it but you shouldn't because then your bread will have seeds."

Permalink

"What's it milled from though," says Milo, "wheat I think, wheat is grown."

Permalink

"Oh."

Permalink

"Yeah. So bread is made from grown things. And I like bread."

Permalink

"I like bread too. I guess years will have to stay as long as they are."

Permalink
"Yeah."

Pet pet.

Bunnies don't do anything as obvious as purring, which is good, because Jann would be highly embarrassed if anyone knew that he was not just magnanimously tolerating all this petting.

Milo won't tell anybody.

Permalink

Milo counts as "anyone", so he'd better not even tell Jann.

Permalink

Observe his silence.

Distinguished, sophisticated lack of purring matches it.

Eventually Jann hops off to go out in the garden and see if anything there tastes better than carrots and lettuce. He is extremely alarmed by the shadow of a hawk, goes back inside, investigates under all the furniture with enough room for a bunny under it, submits to being dusted by his mother, has lunch (broccoli and celery and an apple slice), and goes back to Milo's room to see how Milo is faring.

Milo is (a) reading and (b) grumpy.

"Hi, Jann."
Permalink

"Hi. Apples taste like apples, too, apparently rabbits eat apples. What're you reading? Has it got knights in it?"

Permalink

"It's boring, it's just less boring than staring at the ceiling," grumps Milo. "I wanted to read it because it's about a magic cave but I didn't know magic caves got this boring."

Permalink

"I didn't know magic caves were boring either. What's wrong with this one?"

Permalink

"I think maybe what's wrong with it is that the most boring person in the world went there and wrote a book about it."

Permalink

"Oh. Why would a boring person write a book? He'll get his boring on other people that way."

Permalink

"Maybe he wanted to. Maybe he's evil and boring."

Permalink

"Shouldn't being evil be slightly interesting?" says Jann, flopping gently and bunfully on Milo's chest.

Permalink
"Maybe not always! Maybe some people are just evil and boring and want to bore everyone because they're evil."

Milo closes his boring book and pets his fluffy cousin.
Permalink

"You could read something else. With knights in it."

Permalink

"Maybe," he sighs.

Permalink

"What're you sighing so much about?"
