we don't need no education

[he'd promised to read at least a few books while he was here, so he'd grabbed whatever he could reach in the library and sat down in the corner, using a bored looking chocobo as a backrest.]

[of course, quantum physics is both confusing and boring, so he's fallen asleep nestled up against feathers, while Bawk leans over every minute or so to rip out a page with its beak. mmmm, science.]

[snatches the book from Bawk's reach, and feeds him greens instead.]

[stilleatsbugs.livejournal.com]

[HEY THAT IS BAWK'S SCIENCE LESSON. it starts warking loudly at Namine.]

[memory-forged.livejournal.com]

You're eating it. Not reading it. And hush. You'll wake up Sora.

[stilleatsbugs.livejournal.com]

[WARK; Bawk is absorbing the science through digestion. it tilts its head and reaches for the book.]

[memory-forged.livejournal.com]

[SIGHS]

Fine. [gives it back]

[stilleatsbugs.livejournal.com]

[and so, decades and decades of research, human effort and other science-y things disappear to the pit of Bawk's stomach. it seems pleased with itself, and keeps on warking.]

[Sora doesn't really seem to mind, rolling over and sleeping on.]

[memory-forged.livejournal.com]

[just to keep it quiet. there are other books here, anyway. leaves and comes back later with a blanket. Sora, why you do this.]

[seasides]

[...oh hey chocobo in the library what. he moves closer, making sure to keep his voice low.]

Hey! That's not food.

[stilleatsbugs.livejournal.com]

[why does the sensation of a blanket being lightly draped over him wake him up, as opposed to a warking chocobo? it's a mystery.]

Hnngh?

[stilleatsbugs.livejournal.com]

[Bawk turns to look at Kai, a piece of science hanging out of its beak. there's a confused glimmer in its eyes.]

[memory-forged.livejournal.com]

You wake up at the worst times, you know that?

[seasides]

Here, tell you what. You stop eating the book, and I'll find you something better.

[gently tugs the piece out of its beak completely.]

[stilleatsbugs.livejournal.com]

Mmhmm --

[especially when he glances at Bawk and realizes what it's doing.]

Bawk! I was reading that!

[stilleatsbugs.livejournal.com]

[HEY that's Bawk's learnings, there! it won't chase after the book, but it will start warking loudly.]

[memory-forged.livejournal.com]

He wouldn't shut up when I tried to confiscate it.

What does Bawk like to eat. Besides learnings. :|

[seasides]

Sh! Do you want to wake him up?

[gestures to Sora, frowning.]

[stilleatsbugs.livejournal.com]

[rubs his eyes tiredly.]

He doesn't eat paper very often, unless .. do you have a stomachache, Bawk?

[Sora gets a wark in reply, as Bawk gets back to work on quantum physics.]

[memory-forged.livejournal.com]

Why are you sleeping in the library?

chocobo greens! they have some in the garden

[stilleatsbugs.livejournal.com]

[a-actually quiets down, but Bawk is still not giving up that book. apparently the ways of the universe are just too delicious.]

[Sora yawns and shifts, still off somewhere in dreamland.]

[stilleatsbugs.livejournal.com]

I didn't mean to! I was reading 'cause I promised I would, and I guess I needed a nap ...

[sheepish grin.]

[memory-forged.livejournal.com]

Quantum Physics isn't something for a twelve year old.

[seasides]

Alright, fine. But if you get in trouble for eating a book, and someone locks you in a room for being bad, it's your own fault.

[shoots Bawk a stern look before quickly heading off to find greens for the obviously hungry bird.]

[stilleatsbugs.livejournal.com]

Oh ...

It looked like something smart people would read, and I don't want Mom to be mad at me for not studying, so.

[rubs the back of his head.]

[stilleatsbugs.livejournal.com]

[Bawk will be workin' on the index while Kai's gone, nudging at its master's forehead with its beak every so often.]

[memory-forged.livejournal.com]

I think Ri is teaching a bunch of kids. Why don't you join them?
