"I just had the best mental image of you being annoyed at your computer and raising your eyebrow at it."

"I may have done."

He giggles some more. "Well, thankfully I'm not exclusively nondynamic and I'm perfectly fine with having you tie me up and cane me and edge me and have your way with me however you want."

"Good. Nondynamicism even once I figure it out is no more than an occasional."

"That's perfectly fine by me."

"Good boy." Snuggle.

Snuggle! "I love you."

"I love you too."

"I was planning to skip it. Are you going?"

"I think I am. Why are you skipping it?"

"It's a lot of walking around and I already have a career plan that won't need to get any more specific until they have yet another career fair. I might go with you, I guess, but we wouldn't be looking at many of the same booths."

"Fair enough. I haven't actually looked at any prospects, I only have this vague notion that people will pay me a lot of money to fix them and de-age them once I can do that, but."

"Yeah, my advantage is that there's a centralized place I can sign up with."

"Also I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing in the time between graduating and actually being a competent healer. And I'm wondering if they'll let me, like, intern somewhere, or something."

"They might. I honestly don't have a great interim plan either. College perhaps."

"Prrrobably community college in my case, if that."

"There aren't magic colleges as such the way there's magic high schools but you could look into scholarships," she says. "I think the government likes giving scholarships to eclipsed, if nothing else, and you're bright enough to pick up more, write some essays, ace some tests."

"Oh the joy of standardized testing and essay writing."

She prods him in the chest. "They're pretty joyful if you get a few thousand bucks a pop, I think."

He giggles. "I suppoooooose that's enough incentive to get me through it," he sighs dramatically.

"But the career fair might give you an interim idea."

"Yeah. What would you major in, if you went to college, do you think?"

"I'm not sure. It's not like I need a credential to make a living. Maybe I'd go comp sci, I'm thinking of looking into programming when I have my eidetic working."
