[ todomatsu's just like, miserably flopped on a bench by the bonfire, but he'll quickly get himself into a respectable sitting position when someone he hasn't met yet comes by so he doesn't tank the first impression. ]

Ah... good morning!

[ probably?? why aren't there clocks ]

[ this is such a whole mood ]

Morning. Alright there?

Yep! I mean, kind of grading on a curve here under the circumstances, but.

[ she doesn't recognize this reference but it makes enough sense to her ]

Honestly, it's rather better than expected. There's been a surprising lack of things that wish me dead.

[ "hawke they're going to be cult sacrificed at some point" that's so far off though ]

I think that's just because of the one big thing that wants us all dead...

Usually, that doesn't stop other things from wanting to kill me at the same time.

[ that's because you don't know how to shut up, hawke ]

It's rather a nice change of pace if I do say so myself.

[ peeking into the window of one of the animal houses... ]

Why do so few of these houses have bathrooms...

[ peeks over totty, peeking into the houses ]

You don't think there's a communial bath we just haven't found yet, do you?

Honestly, you'd think they'd have one! Even the houses that do have bathtubs seem to have them sitting right out in the open in front of the door, so clearly they aren't too privacy-conscious for public bathhouses.

I suppose something could be said for animals grooming themselves but that does seem a little on the nose, hm?

[ she's seen Some Shit but even this has her like, OKAY.... ]

[ from somewhere outside the academy building comes the sound of someone getting teleported out into the garden with a little plop and then realizing there's no easy path out of here ]

SERIOUSLY? UGHHH.

[ helpppp. good thing hawke was already sunning in the garden with her books to see this happen in full hd. ]

It seems you've missed a turn.

You know, it should really let you select your destination instead of just dumping you in random places that may or may not have exits!

...You're just. Chilling here, huh?

Get better then.

[ she pats her book though ]

I've got plenty of sun, a nice breeze, and quiet [ ..... ] mostly quiet.

[ bristles at that first comment, like, excuse me, did YOU choose to press a button to get to this specific spot?? ]

Aaaand what about when it's time to leave? I mean.

[ gestures to the cliff edge. ]

That's a cliff.

[ that would be telling. she flips a page in the meantime ]

I'm sure I can find a nice room to hole up in for the night. The traps are tricky but there's always a tell to them.

[ eyeballs him ]

Are you that anxious to return already?

[ hawke is still angrily clutching her soba bowl like it'll vanish forever out of her reach if she doesn't look at it for more than five seconds. she's gonna beat the deda up for this (no) ]

[ observes this... ]

...You good?

[ possibly a funny question coming from him right now because he still looks pretty shitty after yesterday, actually. but at least he hasn't been cursed!!! yet..... ]

If I eat any more I'm simply going to explode before anyone else gets to it.

[ trying to circumvent the curse seems to have just meant eating consistently, rip.

she eyeballs him in case he needs a good dose of alfyn's tinctures though. ]

I suppose better this than some of the other curses they're throwing around right now.

Ah. Guess you don't want any help with that, then.

[ he definitely used them yesterday! still kind of burned though. and he's just got a little bandage over his missing ear tip because i refuse to let him look like a douchebag trump supporter. ]

Is it lucky or unlucky that you got cursed with this when we actually had access to food?

[ holds her bowl protectively like no!!! mine!! and then looks annoyed at herself. help ]

I think I'd be right more annoyed had we not had access. This is already far more annoying than it has any right to be.
