Fencing Club: Salle, 5pm

Peter was looking perhaps a bit under the weather, but he was in the salle and setting up at 5pm because wild horses couldn't have prevented it.  He nodded at the other students.  "Good afternoon, all.  I don't actually have much to say so go to it.  Pair up or not, and so make sure to stretch out first."

Willow grinned. "Exactly! They'll go from survival of the fittest to waking up in the morning and writing really embarrassing entries in their diaries."

"Do you think fruit flies keep diaries?" Door says curiously. "They'd have to be quite small. Wee, even."

"But that's not an indicator of quality," Willow pointed out.

"True. Though they might be difficult to read, if you're planning on using that as your evidence of poor relationship choices."

"I could use a magnifiying glass!" Willow said, always happy for an excuse to do that.

"The flies might notice the giant eye staring at them and hide their diaries. You'd have to be very quiet."

"Good point," Willow said. "Maybe dim the lights a little too."

"Might make it hard to read. Less likely to accidentally set the flies and their diaries on fire, though."

"I'm used to reading in the dark," Willow said. "I had to do it all the time when my mom took my flashlight away."

Door frowns. "Aren't flash lights like little lanterns that run on batteries? Why would you be trying to read by one of those instead of just turning on the electric lights?"

It occurs to her only after asking that perhaps not all people who grew up in the Upworld had electricity, but since it was Willow who introduced her to the concept of electric blankets, she's assuming that's not the case here.

"Because bedtime means sleeping and lights out, young lady," Willow replied. "So I'd use a flashlight and hide under my blanket."

"Ahhhh!" Door smiles. "My mother didn't bother; after years of failing to pry my father out of his study when he was reading, I think she decided she was better off saving herself the headache."

"Mom read too many studies about optimum learning times for her to let it go," Willow said.

"There are times that are better for learning than others?" Door asks. "Well, I suppose it's better when you're awake..."

"Oh yeah," Willow said. "And times for how long you study and when you take a break and what sort of music you listen to and when. It's a whole process."
notajar: (hmm)

Door looks interested but skeptical. "Is it...fun?"

Willow beamed. "Oh yeah! Learning always is. It's the most fun part about school if you ask me."

"I like learning! It's just the times and the music and the planning it out that I wasn't sure about."

"I like being organized," Willow said. "It helps the fun."
