Connor led the way down the hallway, humming softly. He led the way into the dining hall, heading to get food.

Wilhelm elected to go ahead and get food as well, instead of trying to secure a table and possibly forgetting to eat like he had done in the past.

Connor grabbed food, then waited for Wilhelm to be done.

Wilhelm did the same, joining back up with Connor and walking to their usual spot.

Connor walked with Wilhelm, sitting down with his food. He sighed softly. He didn't quite know what else to do or say.

Wilhelm went ahead and wolfed down his food, not sure what else to do. He couldn’t think of any conversation topics, so eating felt like a good way to fill that void.

Connor was eating too, quiet except for the chewing.

He crossed his legs, leaning his elbows on the table. His eyes wandered around the dining hall. All around them, boys were chatting and eating, laughing and arguing. He tried to listen in on conversations, but there were too many happening for him to zone in on any one speaker.

Connor was quiet, thinking. He didn't know what he would do afterwards, after dinner.

“Ah, fuck. I just remembered homework that I didn’t do, damn.” Wilhelm broke the silence, frowning.

(I gtg to bed soon, sorry. Good night!)

Connor let out a faint laugh. "Shit, I do too." he realized. "I don't wanna."

(gn!)

“Me neither, and yet.” Wilhelm sighed. “Guess I’ll have to wait on sleeping just a little longer, won’t I?”

Connor sighed, closing his eyes. "Ugh. Gross. Fucking homework."

“I know, I know. What class is it for you?” Wilhelm picked absently at his knuckles.

"Uhm…" he squinched up his face in thought. "Ah dinnae remember."

Wilhelm nodded. “I think mine is history. Not exactly exciting, but..” He trailed off with a shrug.

He sighed. "History can be fun, though." he replied with a shrug. "With my luck, ah've probably go' math or somethin'."

“See, but math is fun. Lord only knows that I’ll be stuck writing about the French Revolution or something like that.” Wilhelm complained, taking a sip of water. “If you need help with the math, though, let me know.”

"No, math is terrible. Ah'd rather write about th' French Revolution 'r somethin'." Connor replied, shaking his head.

“Looks like we need to be switching homework.” Wilhelm joked, laughing a bit. “Clearly that’s the only viable option, instead of just getting it done.”

Connor chuckled. "Yeah, o' course. Neither o' us needs t' learn 't 'r anythin'." he shook his head, smiling.

“Of course not! That’s a silly idea, I know everything I need to know already.” Wilhelm laughed, rocking his cup on its base.

He grinned. "Nope. Nothin' at all left fer us ta learn." he took a sip of water, smiling.

“Absolutely nothing. If it was worth knowing, I already have it in my head.” He looked around the dining hall. “Ah, fuck, I have to return a library book soon, too.”

He snorted softly at that. "Well, maybe yeh dinnae ken everythin' yet, then."
