week 1, saturday, spring dorm

[shaft]

[ Claude is the coffeehouse of their dorm, fixing himself a cup of tea when he spots Tsuyukusa. ]

Hey. Want a cup?

week 2, friday, dorm

[shaft]

[ Claude looks a little dead inside, but he still frowns in concern when he sees Tsuyukasa. ]

Should I protect the property?

[branches]

[Scowls at, then looks away.]

I already said that wasn't me. But If he's going to go do something like that me may as well destroy his bed.
[SERVES HIM RIGHT FOR DYING!!!!]

[shaft]

I doubt he asked to be killed.

... Overconfident though he might've been. It's all right to be upset.

[branches]

L-like I needed your permission to be mad!?
[HMPH!!!]

There's no reason to be upset as long as we catch who did it, right?

[shaft]

... Is that what you think?

[branches]

I have to think that. Because then we can't... we can't afford to mess up like we did last week.

[shaft]

[ ... It's touch week, so Claude reaches over to ruffle his hair. ]

You're focused. That's impressive.

[branches]

[This is allowed but also he turns a little red.]

Wh-It's not like I've actually done anything!?

[shaft]

It's the thought that matters, right? Your intentions are good.

[ cute... ]

[branches]

....

[A beat.]

You really are talking like a dad.

[shaft]

By just being nice?

[branches]

And calm, but firm. And sometimes I think you're teasing me?

[shaft]

[ ... ]

That's a flattering description. Wow.

[branches]

I-it's not meant to be?? That's just the facts!!

[shaft]

[ Ruffles Tsuyukasa's hair...

Baby. Baby boy. ]

[branches]

[Claude it's like you WANT Tree to imprint on you as his new surrogate dad.]

Everyone keeps doing this, this week.

[shaft]

You haven't noticed we're a little tactile this week?

[ what was even the premise of this thread. anyway, claude is sipping tea now ]

[branches]

[The premise was it's after body announcement and Claude asked if he needs to protect the furniture from Tsuyukusa.]

I noticed, I just don't know why people keep doing this specifically!!

[shaft]

[ Also, now he's having tea. ]

Does it bother you?

week 3, wednesday

[branches]

[Bro we are just chilling in the dorm. When Tsuyukusa sits up.]

I'm going to make some tea. Do you want some?

[shaft]

[ That's a surprise. Claude is here with his wyvern, and they'll both wander over to where Tsuyukusa is sitting. ]

Sure. What're you brewing?

[branches]

I think I'll use mint leaves? Maybe a few other things. But when you use mint it tends to dominate the other flavors.

[Just gonna throw some plants from his pouch in hot water and see what happens.]

[shaft]

I don't mind mint, if that's what you end up making.

[ He tucks up beside his wyvern on the couch, slumping there and stroking over her scales. ]

Had any interesting encounters this week?

[branches]

That would require any of you to be interesting in the first place.
[HMPHS!!! As he goes to brew the tea.]

I guess it was nice to see Principal Bear again, though.
