[Hi Paradisa, have the sound of a pen tapping against the journal]

[Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap-]

[Finally the sound stops and there's a melodramatic defeatist groan]

Ugh! Fine I give up!

Hey Paradisa! How are you all?

Tell me, what's a good way to kill a lot of time without going crazy? And please, nothing about reading, training or playing in the snow.

Thank you! ♥

[ Her eyebrows creep together. Arya pushes back the sudden clenching feeling in her stomach yet her tone comes off a little angrier than she'd intended. ]

Complain to them. How many did you get?

Arya

[wilder]

No more than I had before.

Though one's a fairy right now and for some weird reason, my best student hasn't been showing at all.

Zelos

[wolfchild]

[ She crosses her arms in front of her chest and glares at the journal. ]

And who's that?

Arya

[wilder]

Uh, you?

Zelos

[wolfchild]

O-Oh.

[ Well. That deflated her. Insert awkward pause here. ]

Arya

[wilder]

Yeah. Who else would I be talking about?

Zelos

[wolfchild]

I don't know. I keep forgetting time is different.

Arya

[wilder]

Right.

So what's the deal?

Zelos

[wolfchild]

I haven't made any.

Arya

[wilder]

....It's an expression.

Why haven't you been coming to training?

Zelos

[wolfchild]

I don't know. I forgot. I didn't— I can still learn with you? For true?

Arya

[wilder]

You forgot? Ouch! My poor ego...!

Of course you can, my little wolf.

Zelos

[wolfchild]

Do I need to show you the arithmetic problems too?

Arya

[wilder]

[!!!!!]

You got them done?

[A STUDENT THAT ACTUALLY GETS THEIR HOMEWORK DONE???]

Zelos

[wolfchild]

From before. I had Henry read them to me since I couldn't see. He had to write them too. But I didn't cheat! I did them myself! You can ask Mother! She sat with us.

Arya

[wilder]

[If he was in the room right now, he'd hug you so much omg best student *^*]

Haha, don't worry my little wolf. I believe you.

Zelos

[wolfchild]

[ She did every eccentric thing Syrio asked of her without question or complaint. Doing math problems blind? nbd. ]

Do you want them now or...?

Arya

[wilder]

Just bring them to the next training session! Usual time.


...You remember what that was, right?

Zelos

[wolfchild]

I think so.

Arya

[wilder]

Good! So I'll see you then!

Zelos

[wolfchild]

[ A break while she reads over the other comments. ]

Do you know how to play cyvasse?

Arya

[wilder]

Cyvasse?

Zelos

[wolfchild]

[ Think chess. Plus stratego. Plus fuck me this game changes every time it's played I am not smart enough for this. ]

It's a game. The Dornishmen played it. I think you'd like it.

Arya

[wilder]

Oh yeah? Think you could teach me?

Zelos

[wolfchild]

If you're quick enough.
