Yes, but you also can't sweat certain chemicals, so it will have to avoid the following list of delicious things. It's only for a couple of weeks and then they can change the test schedule. It's for the best.

Does he at least get to sleep in his own bed?

Permalink

That's fine. As long as they don't find he's been sneaking snacks or anything like that.

Permalink

He's worried that Tabby's got nobody to play with up there.

Permalink

...Alright, they can arrange some more free time. Maybe group time with some of the other children. (If it keeps them pacified.)

Permalink

Other kids? Man, it's a been a while since they've seen them!

Permalink

That's for later though. For now, lunch, then the tutor will see them for a couple of hours, and then whatever they want until bed.

"Do you see the other kids much Dr. Abraham?"

Permalink

"I do, actually. They, ah. Some of them don't cope with the magic-infused biologists quite as well as you two do. You can fly, you're healthy and happy. It's not always that way. We do our best though."

Permalink

"That's a shame." 

He's honestly not sure if they're happy, either. 

Permalink

So the tutor comes and teaches them stuff. Today's topic is basic science, they're old enough for that now. Astronomy!

Permalink

Tabitha wants to go to space someday, even after being informed her wings won't be of much use that high up.

Permalink

Perhaps they can invest in or invent proper space travel when they're adults. Things haven't been very exciting on that front since the Apollo program got cut.

Permalink

Zeke is more concerned with the prospect of other kids. 

Permalink

If he cares that much... They can get some of the more stable children and arrange some sort of group playtime. Monitored of course. There are three or four good candidates for this.

Permalink

Well, if it makes Zeke happy.

Permalink

They'll look into it. Tomorrow, probably, it's for the best to plan this a little more. How about... The two children from the Lycan program with the best control over the shifting, and Sam, a girl with a body made of watery jelly?

Permalink

Their tutor will arrange it, if Mr. Lion heart approves.

Permalink

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"' He actually hugs the tutor.

Permalink

She hugs back. She does like kids.

Permalink

The prospect of extra companionship makes Zeke participate in the tests almost eagerly.

Permalink

And he starts to learns to use his inner magic. It's a matter of focus coupled with words and gestures. They hope he'll be better at it than average, given his ability. Slow going though. Today he managed to make a floating mote of light and that's about it. And it felt like overusing a muscle he didn't know he had.

Permalink

Despite herself, Tabby is trying to make an ability emerge. Mostly this involves shouting at toys that refuse to float or light on fire.
