Cultural Understanding, Monday.

[ofthe-wilds.livejournal.com]

"Hello, everyone," Alistair said, waving at the class. "No lecture for you today. But we do have an incredibly important assignment. A test of your cunning... and will."

"Not to mention creativity," Morrigan continued crisply. "It has come to our attention that there is some sort of pagent festival being put on by the local player-house."

"So get your singing and dancing shoes on," Alistair chirped, then paused. "...That sounded better in my head somehow..."

"You may either audition alone, or with a group of classmates," Morrigan offered. "Since it is a cultural exchange, you may use class time today to work on your offering."

She was being helpful. Really.

"You can actually audition at the playhouse," Alistair said, trying not to give Morrigan the side-eye, "Or you can just show us something next week."

"Different? Here? I can't believe that," Billy teased. "I'd love to hear whatever you can tell me, but I'm not going to press you if there's stuff you can't say."

She laughed a little sheepishly. "Yeah, I know. Here nothing's strange. But back home we had it drummed into us that we could never tell anyone."

"Look, tonight the mun's on her way to bed I think I just need to crash, so I'm so tired. But maybe... tomorrow? I can grab take-out or something and we can talk about it?"

"I understand that more than you might think," Billy said, thinking about all the things he had to hide from his parents. "Tomorrow would be great since mmmm bedtime. We can talk about whatever you'd like."

"Great," Mercy said with some relief. "Chinese, okay?"

"Chinese is always okay," Billy said with a laugh.

"Excellent," Mercy said with a smile. "I'll have it all ready for us there."
