Wilhelm snorted. “Complaining?”

He groaned. "Fine. Yes. Complainin'. Bu'…dignified complainin'." he wrinkled his nose at Wilhelm, crossing his arms and shaking his head.

“Dignified.. care to explain to me how that works?” Wilhelm asked, still smiling just a tad as they headed to their seats.

He stuck his tongue out. "No." he grumbled, plopping down with his food.

“Alright, alright.” Wilhelm held up his hands in defeat. “I’ll just guess, then.”

Connor blew on his tea, wrinkling his nose slightly.

Wilhelm tugged on the strap of his school bag, adjusting it while he ate. The thing never liked to stay where he put it. “I’m so glad I remembered to get that homework finished last night.” He laughed softly with a sip of his water.

Connor groaned. "Yuck." he replied, taking a sip of his tea and shaking his head. "Foockin' homework." he grumbled.

“It’s either that or I get chewed out by one of the scariest teachers on Earth.” Wilhelm shrugged, leaning on his elbows.

He sighed, and kept drinking his tea and trying to wake up. "Mmph. True." he replied.

“Personally, I prefer the former, but that’s just me.” He chuckled, taking another few bites of his breakfast.

Connor shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe so, bu' still. Homework is Terrible." he took a sip of tea again, inhaling the steam.

“Look, you’ll get no contest from me there.” Wilhelm muttered, pushing his fork around on his plate. “But it’s better to get it over with than not.”

He shrugged again. "Yeah. Bu' tha' dinnae mean ah will nae complain from here tae kingdom come aboot 't." he took a bite of food.

“Fair enough.” Wilhelm shrugged, finishing the last few bites of his food. He looked down at his watch. “Just to let you know, you’ve got.. about 15 minutes until the bell rings.”

He finished up after a few more minutes, and sighed tiredly. "There. Done." he leaned on his hands, eyes only half open.

“Are you going back to sleep? Now?” Wilhelm raised his eyebrows. Not in judgement, only in surprise.

"No." he grumped. "Ah wish tha' ah were. Bu' there isn't any time to sleep."

“You’ve got a point. Maybe you can finish your work early in class and try to sleep then.” Wilhelm shrugged. “But that’s only an idea.”

He groaned. "Ugh. Ah hate mornin's an' ah hate school an' ah hate…" he trailed off, not sure where else to go with this grumpy dirge.

A small smile haunted Wilhelm’s mouth. “You hate..?” He prodded, moving his empty plate to the side.

"Ugh. Everything." he grumbled tiredly, closing his eyes and shaking his head.

“..Considering everything? That’s valid.” Wilhelm snorted.

He chuckled softly, running a hand through his red curls. He opened one eye to peek over at Wilhelm.

Wilhelm’s head rested in his palm, head tilted to the side. His free hand traced abstract patterns into the table.
