Yeah, Jonothon would have to be deaf and blind and stuffed into another psionic dampener in order to fail to notice all of the children running around the island this weekend. Which meant that he was hell-bent on being prepared, today.

On one table, he set out some construction paper, glue sticks, glitter, crayons, and safety scissors.

On a table far, far away from anything resembling glue and scissors, he set out a bunch of children's books. Everything from Pat the Bunny right on to some randomosity called Giraffes? Giraffes!

Satisfied that he had made all of the preparations that he possibly could in order to survive the day, Jono sat. He sat, and he waited.

She seized the hug gratefully. "Not bad," she said. "Jaime didn't get kids either. I think I've had about the quietest weekend of anybody. I might offer to babysit tonight so the people with kids get a break."

Which was totally the only reason she wanted to babysit, yep. After an eternity without children, this shouldn't have surprised her.

And yet. Some wistful part of her thought it would have just been nice.

//If yer need any help with that, let me know?// He nuzzled his forehead against hers, closing his eyes and fighting back a projected sigh. //My weekend's been fairly quiet as well, luv. I think Jak's gone off to his own world again, so I've even had th'room t'myself.//

"Absolutely," Didi promised. "It's been a while since I babysat."

She tilted her head up to give him a speculative look. "He's gone again, huh? How much do you think he'd care if I stayed over sometime?"

//Yer know, I can't speak for him,// Jono mused, looking back at her thoughtfully. //But I could talk to him about it when he gets back. I can't see it being an issue.//

"If it is, I could convince Jaime to stay out sometimes," Didi told him. "We don't get a lot of private time, y'know?"

Such were the risks of a relationship at boarding school.

//Oh, I've noticed,// Jono assured her. //If it comes down to it, there's always th'hotel, as well.//

A little money in exchange for alone time with Didi. No, Jono didn't see a downside. It wasn't as though he was going to buy food with that coin, anyhow.

Didi wrinkled her nose. "I always feel like they'd look at us funny there."

Yes. Death of the Endless was afraid of something -- and that something was hotel desk clerks.

Hotel desk clerks were just one of many on a very, very long list of people that Jono didn't enjoy being looked at oddly by.

//Okay, then not th'hotel,// he replied, shrugging that idea away easily enough. //Perhaps we can just start going to every theme park we can think of. They can't possibly ban us from all of them before we graduate.//

"Sure," Didi said. "Start with Six Flags, the week between graduation and when the new kids get here?"

It was an awesome plan. Though, really, she could make herself deal with the desk clerk fear, if she was pressed.

//Rollercoasters until one of us vomits, again?//

Not that he'd made her ride the roller coaster at Disneyland until she'd vomited. He had a bit of basic human decency left in him, after all.

Didi pouted. "Not fair that I always have to be the one who vomits, y'know."

//Well, I'd suggest that we grab a third party simply for th'sake of th'rides, but then we'd have to get them a room, as well,// Jono mused.

And there was no fun in that.

He'd tell her that he would be the one to vomit if he could, but that would also be lying.

"We could make them pay their own way..." Didi mused. "Or we could just try to avoid barf. That might be neater all around."
