Two weeks ago, Enzo's newly-established True Love returned to her own world to begin a new life with her genetic family. Enzo felt a little ambivalent about it, for the usual selfish reasons, but mostly happy for her and content to reflect on their love until he saw her again.

That was two weeks ago.

Two weeks of wanting to talk to her and having to remind himself that she's not here. Two weeks of wondering how she's settling in, how she's getting along with her new family, whether she's doing any heroing, whether the media are harassing her too badly, whether it's even been two weeks for her.

Two weeks of trying to concentrate on studying because he's got his fragging exams coming up.



Green pre-teen sitting at a table, staring blankly at a ReadMe file, and periodically smacking his forehead with his hand, the file, or occasionally the table.

Love bytes.

This makes Enzo laugh more.

"Yeah, but it's good weird. I mean... I'm in love with a User. I'm down with weird."

"There you go. The weird part is just telling you you're keeping things interesting."

[a1enzo]

"Totally," Enzo agrees.

(One of his favourite pastimes involves placing himself in mortal peril in an unknown fantasy environment, while encouraging it to temporarily modify his clothing and sometimes his entire body in an unspecified manner. And that's in his own world. Normality is relative.)

"Feeling a little more up for tackling the books?" K asks hopefully.

[a1enzo]

"Dunno. Not feeling like smacking myself with them," he offers.

[k_in_black]

"No, I'd make sure to get a good wrestling hold on them. Books can be crafty that way."

[a1enzo]

That brings the giggles back.

"And the corners are pokey," he points out. "They get you in the ribs."

[k_in_black]

"True. Better ask Bar for sandpaper. Grind those suckers down."


K makes a mental note. That approach would probably work for more than a couple annoying alien races too.

"I don't think my profs would like that much!"

[k_in_black]

"Always a damn shame when educated men and women are so closed-minded," K sighs.
