The Art of Napping; Monday, First Period [07/20].

Class that morning would be meeting in what appeared to be a mattress showcase floor, but, you know, like, a nice one, not one that was very clearly and obviously just a front for laundering drug money. Either way, it was probably not too difficult to discern what today's lesson would be about...

"Welcome back, ducklings ♥!" Shunsui greeted his students with a smile that had clearly already passed a class on being sleepy. "Last week, we spent a good deal of time talking about the importance of a good pillow for a nap, and if a good pillow is that important, then I'm sure you can only imagine how crucial it may be to ensure that you have a good mattress, too ♥! Now, of course, an expert napper can truly nap anywhere, from the cold hard ground to the most luxuriant pile of fluff every created, but why should one have to resort to such things if one doesn't necessarily have to? And, just like pillows, mattresses are hardly one size fits all ♥! Some prefer a good, sturdy mattress with no give; others like to sink in, like drowning on a cloud ♥. And the only way to know for sure what works before for you is to simply try them and see.

"Now," his grin seemed to gain a little more energy, "I could start delving into the thrilling yarn that is the history of the mattress, but our time here is so short, and I'd like you to all get the most out of your mattress trying time ♥. So the rest of the class is yours to look around and explore so that you might be able to find the best mattress to suit your own napping needs ♥. Embark on this exploration on your lonesome or even pair up if you like...napping, after all, is especially nice when done with frineds ♥. Your mattress journey is up to you, your cushion fate is in your hands ♥. So, go, go..." He waved his hands as if to send this little sleepy flock scattering to the mattress winds like so many mixed-metaphor cherry blossoms. "Find your mattresses, and at the end of the class, perhaps we can reconvene to discuss our findings ♥."

Was this lesson really just an excuse to lay around on comfy mattresses for the duration of the class?

Hi, were you new here?

This whole thing felt a little silly to Freya, but that was sort of par for the course for this class, and she reali,ed she never really thought much about mattresses, only that it was nice when an inn didn't have fleas in theirs when she was traveling.

So she wandered a little, considering the mattresses, although she wasn't quite sure what for, and she sat on a few. Bounced a little where she sat to see if it squeaked. Laid down. Almost lost her hat when she did once, and then sort of settled on one and draped a paw over her stomach and stared up thoughtfully at the ceiling.

She wasn't very good at this napping thing, but she missed all the other animals being on the island already and was still deeply devastated that not a single one hard been or even heard of her Sir Fratley....

Maybe her deep sighs could be mistaken for snores?
