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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Throughout the lawn, tables and chairs had been set up and scattered, some out in the bright, sunny center of everything, and some in the darker, more remote areas.

Eat up, folks! Don't let that food go to waste!

[OCD up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Sometimes it's freeing to just ... be," Eleanor agreed softly. "Whoever you feel like being today, with no pressure or expectations in other directions."

Like, say, the Messiah. Eleanor could sympathize.

"I'm sorry for your loss," she said. "Will having her dinosaur help?"

She had Father's memories. She liked to replay them, when she felt lonely.

"It might," Evan decided, nodding a little. "It's not quite the same, but I don't think Old Lace is going to be quite as good at giving me advice as Gert was."

He chewed on his lip a little.

"I suppose she'll be just as good at just accepting me for who I am, though. And she is good company."

It wasn't hard to see why Gert had been so enamored with her.

"I always wished I had a pet," Eleanor shared with a wistful smile. "I doubt I know how to take care of one, but there's something comforting to their presence. The calm acceptance."

The idea was tugging on her again. She dismissed it with a shake of her head.

"Are ... you all right?" she asked. "I mean, will you be all right? It's not ... easy, losing someone."

"It's not easy at all," Evan replied. "And Sholeh just left, too. It's kind of lonely right now."

Very lonely, right now.

"But I'll be okay. This is just a lot, all at once. It's not even really a first." Which was awful. "And I have Old Lace and Ozzy here to make it easier."

He attempted a little smile.

"Pets are pretty easy, for what it's worth. I mean... learning how to take care of them and everything? Not hard. I could show you, if you like."
