... yeah, it is. And being accosted by a creature made of rotting meat isn't so great, either. [ very off-putting. kills your appetite. ] But this is a small start.
I don't know about what happened for Catra and her group, so it'd be good to double check. [ he learns later, he can clarify. ]
... like it was made of festering meat and dead bodies. Different parts of bodies stuck out - hard to really describe how it moved, considering the limbs varied from arms and legs.
he is bandaged - and he lifts his hand up to the side of his neck, touching the edges of his face where there's some chemical burns visible. around his temples and dripped down his jawline on both sides. ]
No bites or scratches, we managed to avoid that. But it kind of threw up acid on us.
[ hm. he's going to remember this conversation, later, when lalli has told him his greatest regret. ]
Yeah, alright. I don't think I could, anyways - Viola and the Winter dorm were hovering around me non-stop. I had to slip away for a little bit just to come and grab some books before curfew.
[ none privacy. have you seen how his suite is set up? ]
Oh. Well, we can't do anything on our phones. We do have - you know, every dorm has its specialty room. [ can't talk about what it is, but can acknowledge it exists. ] But reading will help keep my mind occupied. Even if my eyes are light sensitive right now, I can still do that much.
I like reading, anyways. I like learning new things, no matter what it is I'm learning about.
As long as I'm in dim light, it's fine. Viola also gave me sunglasses to wear without paying for them, as long as I'm with her.
[ obviously he doesn't have them now ]
... [ learn orally.......... i mean, he does have an oral fixation - ] Yeah, I'm sure I can get one of the Winters to read to me while we're waiting for the clock to hit midnight.
[Well, he's going to flip the book around and look at it. His reading skills aren't the best, but he can manage. Which is good because he's going to read out loud to Kon now. No hurting your eyes, Kon.]
[ ... even if he just lets lalli take the book, kon's still a little surprised that he decides to read to him. but he just - settles in, leaning forward against the back of the chair he's seated straddled in, propping his chin on his arm atop it and closing his eyes. ]
Lalli pauses in his reading long enough to take in the sight of Kon relaxed like that, and then he picks up again. He won't snap a picture of Kon this time, it would ruin the mood.]

Date: 2021-06-26 05:02 am (UTC)We found a lot of rotting meat and dead bugs in the house that we were in on day one of our stay. It turned into a meat monster on day three.

What did the meat monster look like?

Date: 2021-06-27 03:10 am (UTC)[Oh. Oh no.
Kon might be able to see the exact moment Lalli goes from 'questioning' to 'abject fear'.]
Did it hurt you at all? Even a single bite or a scratch, or anything like that.

Date: 2021-06-29 04:01 am (UTC)...if the worst happens, don't hide it. We can talk to the dorm heads to find something to do.
[This seems Important somehow. There's weight behind those words.]

Date: 2021-06-30 02:52 am (UTC)Does it hurt to read right now?
[Kon don't hurt yourself for entertainment.]
You can learn later, you know. Or learn orally, there's plenty of people who can help with that.
[Me, Maple, choosing the worst phrasing for "let someone read to you."]

Date: 2021-07-01 03:20 am (UTC)That's possible. Or even Viola. Luke hung out with us last week until we all passed out.
[He's going to try and take Kon's book though. He can read to him right now!]
no subject
Date: 2021-07-01 07:21 pm (UTC)She'd probably offer it. Wouldn't want her to have to worry about the suit, though. [ but he does let lalli take the book, so there's that. ]
