33 Apocalypse Avenue, Thursday Evening

Jack wasn't ready to say goodbye to Kaidan. He remained quite firmly opposed to this general trend of people leaving.

But if Kaidan was going to go fight purple blobby land jellyfish --or whatever he was up to -- he deserved a decent send-off. Which was why Jack had ordered several pizzas, laid in a few kegs of Canadian lager, and sent an email to everyone he could think of who might want one more chance to hang out with Kaidan.

A bad action movie played on the TV, though the sound was quite soft, and everything was ready for a low-key party.

"Law school," Jack admitted. "At least, law school if I can convince them to let me start midyear. If not, I'll probably pick up teaching again until the school year after this coming one."

He smiled. "I wish I had an answer that involved being fanned on a beach somewhere, but sadly it's all a grind."

Éponine chuckled lightly. "Don't you think that would become dull after a bit, though? Lying on the sand and doing nothing -- it sounds lovely but I don't know I could carry on that way for too long. But what d'you think it will take for them to let you start sooner?"

She was a bit envious, yes. Not as envious as she might have been a year ago, though.

"I'll need to prove I can make up the ground I lost not starting with everyone else," Jack explained. "Maybe do some extra online courses in the fall."

"And you're right," he added,with the tiniest smile. "I'd get bored. But all the same,it'd be nice to lie on a beach for a while and see how long it took for boredom to arrive."

"And how long d'you think that might take?" She couldn't help being curious about -- just about everything ever, even if this time it was just an idle curiosity. "I think I might fall asleep for a bit, and then be tired of it by the time I woke up again."

She paused before adding, "Though if I had a book with me, I might not mind staying a while longer . . . school rules seem silly, that's what I think. What's it matter when you start so long's you can wrap your head around your lessons, anyway?"

Who needed smooth transitions from one subject to another? Pfft.
