[ktiseos]

[his arm shifts slightly in turn, when they pull back, like he wants to reach out, but. he lets them move.]

...so it is.

[guestservices]

[ ah. well! they stop when he shifts, so. we are here now, in touch limbo. ]

Sure it doesn't help people here knew you from the future, either.

[ktiseos]

[his expression twists a little, at the mention of his future self.]

No, it does not. It lends all the more legitimacy to that future-- to my future.

[several moments pass, though, before:]

But Lup has been-- insistent that he is not entirely terrible.

[guestservices]

[ a little snort. ]

's good. [ a beat. ] She's a pretty good judge of character. So, I'd agree.

[ktiseos]

Oh, and you would know, I assume.

[he says, with a brow raised.]

[guestservices]

[ cheerfully: ]

I would! Yeah.

[ktiseos]

[they just get-- exactly this, actually.]

[guestservices]

[ well

this face makes them laugh, a snort, and then their shoulders are shaking a little. ]

What!

[ktiseos]

[oh, he huffs at that, giving their shoulder a light shove.]

Incorrigible.

[guestservices]

[ hehehehehe

they seem very pleased. very amused. very proud of themselves. they've successfully lightened the mood! ]

I didn't even do anything. [ uh huh ]

[ktiseos]

Yes, yes, never done a thing in your life, I am certain.

[he rolls his eyes.]

[guestservices]

I haven't!

[ they say this in a way that makes it sound like they are so full of bullshit ]

[ktiseos]

I don't believe you at all, Aquila.

[guestservices]

[ lol

they laugh, clearly amused at their little joke. ]

Hah. Everybody's a critic!

[ktiseos]

And I expect that I am more of one than most.

[look. he knows.]

[guestservices]

Yyyyeah, yeah, definitely. Only person I know that might complain about a school with a river in it.

[ they sound fond as they say that, though, pushing away a bit and wandering over to the lazy river; they remove one of their gloves and prod at it. ]

[ktiseos]

The river seems to serve no proper purpose! Were it for the observation of aquatic creations or other testing, it would have more merit.

[he follows them over regardless.]

[guestservices]

Or it could just be for relaxing, you fucking weirdo.

[ affectionate. probably. ]

[ktiseos]

There ought to be no need for such fixtures at an academic facility. Off hours, mayhap.

[you're the fucking weirdo!!]

[guestservices]

Maybe people are studying how people enjoy relaxing. [ a beat. ] Maybe they're just studying each other.

[

there's a verbal eyebrow waggle ]

[ktiseos]

Oh, do not say it in that tone of voice.

[he can read into it, thanks.]

[guestservices]

Hmm?

[ :3c ]

[ktiseos]

Were it not for your teleportation, I would push you in the river myself.

[guestservices]

[ they seem even more pleased, somehow, snickering to themselves as they sit down by the lazy riverside. ]

No idea what you're talking about. [ wehehe ] C'mon, you're the one who told me I need breaks. Maybe these guys do, too.

[ktiseos]

...oh, fine.

[he takes a seat next to them, with a little huff.]
