An Excuse for Field Trips, Wednesday, 4th Period
Once again, Hannibal and Jonothon had their class meeting on the Causeway. This week they'd been told to dress for warmer weather, and to bring good hiking shoes, if they had them.
"Welcome back," Hannibal greeted them. "We can get to our trips again now that the island seems to have given up on...whatever that was last week."
He opened the large pack he had with him and passed out large bottles of water to everyone. "You will want to drink as much as you can. We will be visiting a high-altitude site, and this will help you adjust. Don't overexert yourself, and let us know if you're experiencing any ill effects."
//And you'll want to wear sunscreen,// Jono added, opening his own... rather less large pack. He hadn't been put on water bottle duty, it was fine. He handed out the little travel-sized bottles of sunscreen for the class to take. //Gets sunny up there.// A pause. //This week, we're going to Peru. Into the Andes. There are the ruins of an old citadel up there that a few of you from Earth might have heard of, and we're going to be doing a bit of exploring, there.//
"Machu Picchu," Hannibal said. "It has been designated a world heritage site for its extraordinary architecture and historical value. We'll be able to walk through the ruins, which have been partially reconstructed over the years, and there will be guides if you have questions. The local language is Spanish, but most will speak at least some English. If you need more, please ask." Because he spoke Spanish, too. Of course.

Re: Machu Picchu
...well, no, of course he hadn't, because he'd been a dog for just about nearly a week now and did not have the vocal capacity for words. Buuuuuut she should know by now that the dumb stupid almost-grin on his puppy face was pretty much saying just that.
And to prove it, he had to lick her pretty, sweaty...suntan lotion-y face, which he quickly realized was maybe a bit of a mistake, but hey! Good thing there was water, right? Right.
...man. He so was not worthy. But he was also so not going to complain, either.
Re: Machu Picchu
She quickly poured him some water in the bowl, and then poured some on her hands to wipe her face clear to reapply sunscreen. "Don't get me wrong, you're adorable and taking all the puppies out to play has been great. But, like, you can swap back to human any day now."
Puppy cuddles? GREAT. But not as great as regular-Prompto cuddles.
Re: Machu Picchu
So you had a very good point, there, Yang, but Prompto was still going to roll his eyes a little and give you a slightly disparaging look. Because if she'd just opened the door for him turning back today, now, while they were in class on this nice little field trip, he was so gonna...
....continue to practically worship the very ground she walked on, but he would have to take, like, a week-long break from it, at least. Don't you curse him with that trauma!
Also, the water was not helping with sunscreen mouth. Blech.
