[Today, for the first time since your arrival, dark and angry clouds gather in the sky above to block out the sun. It is sweltering outside, so when those clouds eventually open up in the early afternoon, showering everyone with cool rain, rolling thunder, and a few flashes of lightning. . . it probably feels good!]

[It seems to be normal rain, for the most part. Look at it from the wrong angle and some if it may seem to be tinted red, like blood. And sometimes, when a drop spatters against the ground, a spider lily suddenly blossoms in its place. The flower dies almost immediately upon springing to life, its petals dissolving into dust that is quickly washed away by the rest of the water]

[dwbi]

[. . . things have been awfully quiet since your arrival. It feels almost a bit like the calm before the storm, doesn't it? Are you still waiting for that other shoe to drop. . .?]

[What else are you up to today!]

I am an employed hyena. By the prince no less.

[ratiocinations]

So the inclination merely has no need to exist any longer!

[Huffs.]

Royalty, though? That's quite a job to have earned.

[rugpull]

He's a classmate and the fuck won't do his laundry.

Or get his own lunch.

Or brush his own hair sometimes.

[ratiocinations]

...I see. [Not his circus, not his monkeys, but one does have to ask:] Would it not be better for him to learn how to do these things on his own...?

[rugpull]

He'll never need to. He's a prince. He could have a servant if he wanted. He just hates the ones he gots back home. So I guess he ain't bothered to bring one. The other royal has three attendants alongside him...

[ratiocinations]

Ha, which makes you special, then, that he bothers to put up with you, instead.

[rugpull]

His servants were scared of him.

M'not. Most of us ain't. He's honestly a big softy sometimes when it comes to our dorm. I think we're all clueless kittens to him. I know the freshmen are.

And he got held back so he's even older than most at twenty.

[ratiocinations]

Royalty can be imposing, even if only through their titles alone. It must be a welcome change of pace [maybe?? he doesn't know this guy, obviously] to not have that barrier at your school.

[rugpull]

We lack many barriers...

[ratiocinations]

[Huffs.] A fine way of saying that you have no sense of boundaries. [he's joking... he doesn't care that much]

[rugpull]

How many can ya have with a buncha teen boys in a small space?

[ratiocinations]

Only so many for so long before they all go toppling over, I'm sure.

[rugpull]

Every day fist fights for superiority....

[ratiocinations]

Boys will be boys, so they say.

[rugpull]

AND most of Savanaclaw are beastmen. So extra rowdy and extra big...I'm the runt.

[IS NORMAL AVERAGE HEIGHT]

[ratiocinations]

The runt? You're a relatively average size. How tall are your fellows, usually?

[rugpull]

Six feet is pretty standard?

[ratiocinations]

Ah, so about my height. An impressive sight, I'm sure.

[rugpull]

Bunch of muscleheads...

[ratiocinations]

Ha, well, wits always overcome brawn, in the end. As long as you have that in your corner, not much else matters.

[rugpull]

They'd hafta catch me too.
