Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part III

The benches in this section were a little further from the bonfire than the others. If people were sensible, they might want to keep all their clothes on over here, but Fandom, of course, has never been graced with an overabundance of sensible people.

[Please wait for OCD! OCD is up! This is the SECOND post for general mingling. Use this post if your browser can't handle the comment load of the first mingling post. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Working?" Helen frowned. "What do you mean?"

"The whole point is that I'm supposed to look older."

"Ah." Helen considered that. "Well... you do look older."

"Yeah. I'm... still getting used to it."

"I can imagine," Helen said. "Did you get any say in this?"

"Orders." So, no.

"I'm sorry," Helen said quietly.

Triela shrugged. "It's not so bad."

"Doesn't mean it's fair. Not that fair means anything when others control your life."

She understood that well enough.

"Ah. In that case, not fair is the story of my life." She was used to it, though.

"But, again, it's not so bad." Small price to pay for staying alive.

Right?

"It could always be worse," Helen admitted.

She snorted. "That's life, right?"

"It is," Helen said with a bit of a smile.

Triela saluted sardonically with an imaginary wine glass. "To life, then."
