Living on the Outskirts, Friday, Period 2

"I realize," Jono said as he stepped into the classroom, "that last week's lesson was a touch... heavy, for at least a few of you."

He wasn't going to name names, or even single anybody in the room out by looking at them. They knew who they were, and that was enough.

"This week, we're going to lighten things up a little bit. I know I'm not the party person here on the island, but I did my best. For the rest of the class, it's music, refreshments, dancing, and, you know, being social. If you aren't up dancing, I want to at least see you making small talk with somebody else in the room. There is a shadowy corner right over there," he pointed at a corner of the room behind his speaker equipment, where light was somewhat scarce, "and if I see you in there for anything besides re-grouping and taking a breather if you're feeling overwhelmed, you'll have marks docked."

... He wasn't really marking you on partying during class hours, but there was nothing stopping Jono from making that threat all the same.

"Random social situation? Go."

"Sometimes being there is enough," Rapunzel pointed out, her usual wide grin reappearing.

"You think so?" Yeul asked lightly.

Rapunzel nodded with absolute conviction. "Definitely."

Yeul considered it. "In some cases," she allowed, "I can agree you have a point."

"You think there are times when it doesn't help?" Rapunzel wasn't sure that sounded right to her, but maybe Yeul knew something that she didn't.

"I think so," Yeul said quietly. "But they're not fun times to talk about."

Rapunzel nodded slowly. "Then not good party topic," she declared.

She finished her punch looking a bit thoughtful.
