Fleck followed Mr. Sanguis back to the classroom. He paused at the doorway.
"Are you going to get your lunch?"
"I didn't bring one." Fleck was nervous, Mr. Sanguis was his favorite teacher. Did he think he was crazy now? They went in. Fleck sat at his usual seat in the front. Mr. Sanguis looked at him, his face hesitant.
"Is Blade.....hurting you?" Fleck blinked.
"No." His gaze shifted to the side. Mr. Sanguis gingerly placed a hand on the top of Fleck's head. It felt nice. People tended not to touch him much.
"If.... Blade hurts you, you know you should tell your alpha. Unless she's bad. You know I'm trying to watch out for you." He added awkwardly, absentmindedly scratching at Fleck's scalp. Fleck flicked his ears. He knew? Huh. Fleck tried not to purr, as that would just make the situation even more awkward. He enjoyed being petted by his teacher, even if the gesture was usually reserved for parents and close friends. He closed his eyes and leaned into the touch.
"Doesn't Blade groom you?"
"I groom myself." Mr. Sanguis raised an eyebrow, and brushed out the tangles in Fleck's hair.
"Well, you do a pretty shitty job." Fleck huffed, then let out a half swallowed whine when Sanguis removed his hands.
"Do your work."

The ship dissolved into sea foam. Willope chirped.
"I tooooold you!"
"Woah!" Cha-Kurr yelled. The pod surrounded Willope, asking his purpose, and how they could help.
"I am looking for my sister, Piothia! She has escaped her prison! Can you tell me where America is?" An old fish, named Koh-Hick swam to him.
"I know where America is." She spoke with a tired chirp.
"Show me!"
"It...is a long journey, if we go, I want you to promise me something." The pod chittered at her bold request.
"What is it, Koh-Hick?"
"That my pod will be safe from humans who seek us harm."
"I promise on my honor." A ripple spread in the water.
"Then follow me." She swam away.

Skye, Gae, and Pioth were watching tv. Chiso was at his restaurant. Pani was at his job. It was their off day.
"That seems highly unlikely."
"Hush, Pioth, it's called a fantasy movie for a reason, you little shit."
"I was not aware that I was a small excrement."
Skye fucking choked on his popcorn.
