"I guess we'll just have to wait and see."

"Yeah."

A frying pan full of tofu and a pot of rice hit the table. "Help yourselves! So - Haru said Ms. Gagné? - what do you do?"

Permalink

Food!  "I'm a school secretary."

Permalink

"Oh! What school? I teach kindergarten at Sunrise Park."

Permalink

"Peabody Central.  It's a ways out in the sticks, I'm not sure you'd have heard of it."

Permalink

"I haven't, no, but there was a chance. It's always nice to meet more people in the field though. Elementary or secondary?"

Permalink

"I'm in the secondary wing."

"I've always been very firmly kindergarten -" She gestures at the crayon drawings on the fridge. "I've subbed for older grades a couple of times but I'm something at a loss once they think they're too grown-up for dinosaurs, you know?"

Permalink

"Oh, but eventually they become grown-up enough for dinosaurs again.  And in the meantime they're into so many fascinating things."

Ren will happily fill any silences that accumulate during dinner with education-related shop talk. She bought cupcakes for dessert, after they've all had all the stirfry they want.

How's Haru doing on the southpaw eating?  Do they need to switch to leg-based guiding at any point?

Permalink

Espers are not more ambidextrous than genpop but Haru has broken his right arm before, albeit years ago, and is doing fine at stabbing tofu and putting it in his mouth left-handed. The cupcake is even easier, though his mother gives it to him with the wrapper already removed so maybe that's cheating.

Okay, good.  Cupcakes.  - Is it gay to eat cupcakes???  While holding another man's hand??  What flavor are they.

Permalink

Ren got chocolate ones with vanilla frosting and rainbow sprinkles.

Permalink

Okay.  Okay, he is too full for cupcakes, if anyone asks.  Delicious dinner thank you Ms. Swan.

Permalink

"Please, call me Ren, everyone who calls me Ms. Swan is five years old."

Permalink

"Thank you, Ren."

Permalink

"Yes, exquisite.  Julien, do you want me to stick around any longer or should I head back home?"

Permalink

 

"You - came out all this way."

Permalink

"It's not that far."

"You know, I think I'd better start the drive before it gets too much later.  Should I come back for another visit at any particular time?"

Permalink

"Feel free to work that out with Haru, I'm out more often than I'm in." Dishes dishes.

"No specific time presently looms on the calendar."
