aka ichiro's hopping up on this thing on the way back from class because like, why not? he's a true gen z here, sitting and texting on his phone, though when claude hops on too, he gives him a sup nod and a grin. ]
Something like that. Wanted to get a look at the whole route and try out everything, you know? Might as well take advantage of what we're being offered. Classes and hayrides included, I guess.
[ me like is he cursed before remembering its just claude ]
Hah. Well... the classes are weird, but I'm not complaining. I kind of wanted to go to college, you know? Never got the chance to, I was too busy. It's been fun. What about you?
I mean... [ wow what a NERD ] I guess I don't mind it. You do what you gotta do to learn, you know? I'm kind of enjoying it, so far.... [ ... ] Well, maybe except for the Cats class. Seriously weird.
Well - I managed to get into the Sibling Guardianship class I'm signed up for. It was really crowded. Think I locked somebody out of their spot on accident? But, whatever.
[ whoops! sorry, random npcs. ] And... I guess the coloring one was okay. I didn't really learn anything, but it was relaxing.
It ... [ there's a long pause. ] ... The story's just heartwrenching, man, I just finished and the ending was powerful. The princess achieved her dream of peace, but at what cost...
Haha - not really, no. [ no he is not crying over lost girlfriends because he's never had one (or has he) (who knows). ]
It's just good. [ ichiro taps the book to his chest for a moment, eyes closing. ] I usually like stuff with a more hopeful ending - I'm a sucker for it, you know? But this was really poetic, too. If you like to read, definitely check it out.
[ which it looks like he does! so, ichiro nods in the direction of claude's books!! ] What've you got?

[ i've never read this novel spoon why would you do this to me ]
It did, yeah - but she only achieved them because she and her pilot worked together, and they had this beautiful story of finding common ground despite their social backgrounds, and the pilot did all of these amazing, wonderful, brave things -- so did the princess -- but they ended up having to separate in order to complete the goals. So they achieved peace, but at the cost of this deep relationship the two of them built up...
[ he sounds wistful, and taps his fist against his heart. ] Gets me right here, man.
Anyway - nah, I think it's kinda cool, seeing what people from - y'know, not from the world I'm in pick up, you know? Different experiences and stuff like that.
That is bittersweet. [ Looks away fastly. ] The truth is that paths and dreams so rarely collide. Too often we need to sacrifice relationships for our own ambitions...
[ Gazes. ]
But uh. [ He shakes his head. ] These are just some texts on history and culture. I wanted to learn about "Halloween".
he gives him a kinda weird look but takes the subject change, otherwise. ]
Oh. Yeah. You feel like you learn anything? It's an American holiday - we celebrate back home, but I don't think we go as hard as they do. Usually it's just themed cafes and costumes, cause anybody takes an excuse to go get dressed up, you know?
It seems like a lot of fun! I don't think we have anything similar where I'm from.
It's rather heartwarming that children can wander up to strangers and receive food... Something like that would be deeply embarrassing to all the nobles I know.

I don't mind the company but the camaraderie, but going to class... has never been my forte. Does anyone enjoy homework?

If I had to attend any of them... I suppose the one on interpreting literature has its merits. It teaches quite a bit about love.

[ ichiro looks up from where he's got his nose buried in a light novel. if claude is paying attention, his eyes are a little wet. ]
