INSTITUTE

You have reached Fai Flourite, though I regret to say I'm not in at the moment. I'm probably out somewhere doing very important science-y things, or fulfilling my duties as a teacher, or defying death as an X-man... or I've lost my phone again. If you need to reach me urgently, try calling Yuui Flourite at [number] or Feliks Łukasiewicz at [number].

Be good, and don't to anything I wouldn't do... and do tell me if you ever find anything I wouldn't.

[Fai will unabashedly bend down and press a small kiss to her forehead, and then start busying himself with preparing chocolate.]

Mm, I've never been good at people leaving. [Because it's not hard to see that that's where the true heartache lies.] I usually just turn it off so I won't feel so much, but that's... usually not a good idea. It only leads to more hurt.

[He sighs softly.] I know it sucks, but hang in there. It's important to not give up on people, right?

[Fai is probably the only person in the world other than her family she will allow to do that. Still, she sinks a little more beneath the blanket in an almost cantankerous manner, nose-up of her face left above an edge of fabric.]

I don't care, it sounds like a great idea right now. [She snorts.] Well if people stopped being jerks, I wouldn't lose faith. I kinda just want to punch someone until I feel better.

From:

It's not. Trust me. It's what lead me to tell everyone that I'm an only child for two years running here, and I think we can both agree that doing so was pretty stupid.

[He dumps a whole chocolate bar into the warm milk, stirring slowly.]

And everybody sucks from time to time, you know. But not all the time. And not everyone leaves. Or deserves being punched.

From:

lastplaceigo

Yeah, that's... pretty stupid. I don't wanna go that far.

[That is a lot of chocolate. Good.]

I guess. I don't think I can even bring myself to punch anyone, anyway. I don't even wanna do my homework.

[Who is the pod person that took over Margot.]

From:

comparative_insanity

Exactly. And it's hard to stop once you start.

[He sends her a worried look over his shoulder while trying to find a good balance of cocoa and sugar.]

It's pretty easy to feel like everything is pointless, I know. But... you know, finding something to distract yourself with would be a good idea.

From:

Yeah, like what? [She raises an eyebrow in response.] I-I really did try with the homework, you know. And I was gonna call my sister, but I didn't wanna worry her either and just... nothing seems interesting.

From:

comparative_insanity

Your sister would want to get worried, rather than you not calling at all. [He says this very firmly, because well, he should know.] And I'm not sure. Maybe pick up a new hobby or something. You might have to force yourself in the beginning, but after a while it'll get easier, I think.
