Ignis, perhaps foolishly, thought he could be better than this. That, knowing what he knew about the current caffeine situation on the island, he could meet his withdrawal symptoms head on by taking care of himself, staying hyrdrated, resting, eating well, but...alas, it didn't seem to do much good at all, and he was feeling rather terrible that morning. Thankfully, not terrible enough that he couldn't think of an alternate lesson for his class today, because there was no way he was going to be able to pull through his original lesson on cooking in his current state.

Besides, he'd been looking forward to the cooking classes; he wanted to actually enjoy them.

So a message was sent out, and a note was placed on the classroom door, to not only inform the students that they would be meeting in town that day, but to apologize for the last minute notice on the change of plans, but letting them know that, clearly, it would be worth their while, because they would be convening at the animal shelter.

He gave them all a weak smile that seemed to wonder who turned the sun up so bright as they gathered inside Furnado. "Once again," he started, "I apologize for the unexpected relocation, but I'm afraid I'm feeling a bit under the weather at the moment. Still, I wouldn't want that to deprive you all of a good lesson, which is why today, with the help of Mr. Argentum and Prince Sidon here," and he gave a gesture to those two standing ready and way too eager to get started, all things considered, "we will be discussing a very important topic indeed for any household that plans to have any furry, scaly, or feathered companions, and that is pet care."

"Because when you take in a pet," Prompto chimed in brightly, "you take in the responsibility of a whole life, and so before you make a decision like that, you've got to make sure you're prepared to treat that new little buddy with all the love and atttention and care it deserves! Now, Sidon here, he actually runs this place, but both he and I worked here at Furnado when we were students like you guys, so we've got a lot of experience. Today, we're going to lead you guys through a lot of the important basics of pet care and what you need to keep in mind before you take on the responsiblity of letting a fuzzy new friend into your life."

"And what's more!" added Sidon, with a burst of energy and a laugh that made Ignis want to cringe and possibly crawl into a hole somewhere. "We'll be doing it with the animals themselves! So let us begin! And we'll start by asking ourselves, why do we want a pet in the first place, hmmm?"

With that, the lecture between two people who were seriously very unfairly unaffected by all this commensed, while Ignis hung back, still clinging desperately to a can of Ebony in the vague hopes that maybe, just maybe, this can would be the one to finally have caffeine again...

Pets if you got 'em!

Food! Shelter! Various different needs for various different types of animals, or even different breeds of the same animals! All delivered to you by a large sharkman and a much smaller human experiement, with more than enough love of animals and taking care of them to go between them! And plenty of emphasis on making sure you're ready to take on the responsibility of a whole ass pet before ultimately caving into their cuteness.

Once Sidon and Prompto finish up with all the lecture-y stuff, they definitely invite you to spend some time with the animals, if you haven't temporarily adopted one for the duration of the class already, anyway! Share your own pet stories if you have them! Talk about your favorite animals! Spend some time playing with the pups or feeding the turtles or Sidon will be happy to show you about cleaning the fish tanks! The shelter and its two very enthusiastic advocates are at your disposal.

Oh, and Ignis is there, too.

“I have a dog at home,” Jo revealed, “he’s a purebred beagle - he cost …”she realised she was about to slip back into her old bragging habits and reveal that he cost 500 pounds but she caught herself in time, “I …um…” she flushed red as tried to think of something else to say, “we…we have a few different farm animals as well,” she managed to stammer.

They had a class that involved cuddling with animals? Well, taking care om them, but that included cuddling, right?

Kiem was going to help feed the puppies and cuddle them.

You've got three of them to choose from if you're in the need for any extraneous interactions outside the purview of the class!

Do you realize how much coffee or alcohol it would even take to have an affect on someone Sidon's size? It was a lot, half the time, he didn't even bother, and he was feeling just as fit and thrilled to have so many people around to spend time with the animals that he owed Ignis a big favor for this wonderful idea, and wouldn't Ignis be just so thrilled to hear Sidon tell him just how grateful he truly was!

At one point, Ignis had to ask Prompto how he could possibly have even half as much energy as he had right now, and Prompto just laughed and told him, "Because I'm just high on life, bruh!"

Which went over just about as well as you'd have expected it to.

On the plus side, Ignis was getting out of having to actively teach this lesson today, which was a good thing, as he was in no condition to be teaching anything.

On the other side, though, animals made a lot of noise, and at one point, he possibly considered letting all those birds free because...wow, those were ....definitely some noises that they made, yes.

CROSSOVER EPISODE.
