Advanced Bird Haberdashery, Wednesday, period 2

[betterthanaplan]

There were no birds in bird class today. Instead, the classroom was full of little, fluffy, wavy haired puppies, each wearing a little collar reading "I'M A BIRD!"

"Cockapoos," Duke said. "These cute, slightly confused little suckers are going to get cloches." The puppy in his lap leaned its head up and licked his chin. Duke snorted and shifted his face out of reach, scrubbing at the puppy's ears. "Have fun, and try not to get smothered in slobber."

I'd say they say hi back but they're still not talking

And thank fuck for that, honestly. Octavia took a moment to glance around, considering something. Then she decided to go for it.

She wasn't very practiced in taking selfies, but the end result was decent. More trees in the background, but also her, with her tiny lopsided smile and her freshly braided hair.

I say hi though. lunch tomorrow?

Duke texted back a heart-eye emoji. And saved the photo to his phone to treasure forever.

He did not expect her to have anything in particular to request, no.

Covent garden, fewer witnesses

Because everything was a scheme!

(Really, she just liked it when he came by.)

He was probably the only person who got away with using that word without Octavia getting weird about it.

So she just sent back a heart emoji.
