He nodded again. "Alright." he stretched slightly, looking up at the ceiling for a moment. "Just wanted ta make sure."

Wilhelm nodded. “Sure. I’m probably going to check on Claude tonight, really, since I haven’t really seen him outside of class.”

Connor nodded. "Alright." he got in line for food. "Have fun with that."

“Sure thing.” Wilhelm got in line as well, a few people behind Connor.

Connor waited in line, and eventually got his food, heading back to their seats.

Wilhelm sat down a minute or two later, immediately digging in. Clearly the boy was hungry.

Connor took a bite of food, letting out a soft breath as he enjoyed his meal.

Wilhelm didn’t savor the food nearly as much as Connor did. He polished off the meal in less than ten minutes.

Connor kept eating. He ate a bit slower than Wilhelm did.

He took a sip of his water, sitting straight in his seat and fixing his posture. Wilhelm drummed his fingers on the table, looking around the dining hall.

Connor finished up his food, pushing his plate away and letting out a slow, soft breath.

Wilhelm lightly tapped his fork on the edge of his plate, eyes still wandering. He didn’t really have anything to talk about, to be honest.

Connor closed his eyes for a moment, before opening them again, looking over at Wlhelm for a moment.

(okay we really need to figure out how to get these two together because this is driving me insane)

(god i know it’s fucking ridiculous)
(the issue is that theyve literally known each other for like 5 days and also i have no idea how- i just know wilhelm would be very hesitant to admit it first)

Wilhelm slid back in his chair, picking up his plate and glass. “I’ll be right back.” He left to put away his dishes, sitting back down after a few minutes.

(we're almost a hundred fucking pages in my god XD)
(Yeah…so idk either, man)

Connor sighed quietly, and nodded. He looked up when Wilhelm came back, shooting him a quick, soft smile. "Hey."

(slow burn amirite)

That smile almost killed him. But he’d rather die than admit it. “Hey.” He smiled back, crossing his legs and clasping his hands together on the table.

(the slowest lmao)

Connor ran a hand through his hair, letting out a breath. "So…" He trailed off. "Is this how the weeks usually are here? Or are there any things in the evenings ah should know about?"

“No, this is the usual week. Some people might host study groups in their dorms, but otherwise evenings are quiet.” Wilhelm tried to explain himself a little better. “Leaving campus is difficult at best, but if you can get a teacher to go with you- or at least secure a way between here and town- it’s not impossible.”

Connor nodded a little. "Ah, alright." he replied. "Makes sense. What if ah need to buy something?" He needed a new sketchbook soon.

“I believe that the monthly class trip downtown is scheduled soon.” Wilhelm thought for a moment. “Yes. Two weeks from now, if I remember correctly?”

Connor nodded. "Alright. Ah need a new sketchbook soon. Mine's runnin' out o' pages." he replied, looking over at Wilhelm for a moment.

“Is it? Hm. If you need paper, it’ll take me ages to fill up my own notebook.” Wilhelm, of course, was referring to the leather-bound sketchbook that he kept his plant drawings and notes in. A field guide, of sorts, but it had taken him nearly a year to get even a quarter of the way through.

"Oh. Ah would nae want ta use up yer sketchbook. Ah'll be fine." Connor replied with a slight shrug.

“If you’re sure. The offer is on the table if you change your mind.” Wilhelm turned his head to the window for a moment, watching the sun lazily sink down into the horizon.

He nodded a little bit. "Alright. Thank you fer th' offer, though." he said, looking over at Wilhelm with a little smile.
