[Well, Galo and Lio are already in the library. They are sitting by the fire in the same chair with a blanket wrapped around their shoulders and a bunch of snacks.
[Whipping around, like he didn't consider someone else might be here? In the public room they are deciding to . . . do whatever it is they're doing this in?]
[Hm. No, that doesn't sound right. What? Looking at Hori? Looking at Galo. Looking at Hori?????? I guess his profile did say . . . sword.
Anyway, yeah, they really are just chilling. Lio is currently just using Galo as a throne, splayed across him comfortably. It's like, not great to have be stuck in the same room as . . . this, but at least it's chaste.]
In the future, you better get serious about finding a buddy! I'll help you out, if you want. But for now, it's okay. I just don't want any more trouble this week.
[Speaking of getting serious, or rather, a demonstration of Not Doing That, there's a slight disturbance on the other side of the room, of a table being jostled as if hit by something, several books that had been on top of it falling to the ground.
Then, of all things, Nic emerges from under the table, having visibly been asleep and concealed behind one of the armchairs. He's rubbing his forehead which is probably what hit the table.]
[He did not plan to be at the library this late!! But dang, now he's in trouble he guesses?? He was gonna point out that obviously this wasn't on purpose on his part but hey, it's fine.
He just points at Horikawa, whose name he definitely remembers and didn't forget, and looks at Mr and Mrs Safety Rules like yes, see, it's fine.]
[Does it count if you didn't PLAN your buddy? Probably not, but Mr. Safety Rules isn't the stickler. Getting more comfortable on his Galo chair, then.]
There's no one else hiding in the shelves? Going to crawl out of the fireplace?
[They’ve all been here long enough for Nic to get the general idea that Galo is a bit of an odd, stupid duck, but he’s had very little direct interaction so this is... something.]
Have you stayed in this room every curfew and gotten animal facts every time?
[He IS gonna wander over to grab some snacks though. Sword clinking at his waist. It’s team snacks and team sword in here, apparently.]
Mine is that there was this town that was planning to feed people to a dragon, including the king's daughter, and then this guy George came and fought it and captured it. And then brought it all around the town to scare everybody into joining his religion.

no subject
Hey, yeah. Next week, you need a curfew buddy! You lucked out, but that could've been bad!
no subject
[SO WHY IS HE SURPRISED THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE HERE.]
no subject

It's one of the reasons I decided on the library this week actually. Knowing there would already be others here.

[Holding out a bag of chips.]

[Nic stares at the completely chaotic assortment of fingers, at a loss.]
I can read lips. Whatever this is, it isn't helping.
no subject
[That doesn't match any of the fingies.]
it is after curfew. You also do not have a "buddy."
no subject
I suppose we can be "buddies", now.
[ steps closer to nic, hi buddy ]
no subject
[Literally no one but Galo cares about this buddy system.]

He just points at Horikawa, whose name he definitely remembers and didn't forget, and looks at Mr and Mrs Safety Rules like yes, see, it's fine.]

I didn't hear anyone else. [ not that it means anything here ]
no subject
[He's not pleased, though! Mrs. Safety Rules is a stickler.]
Think it's just us four. Feel free to have snacks! In the morning, we're gonna quiz each other about animal facts, okay?
no subject

QUIZ TIME
Okay! We gotta do quizzes! On the count of three, name a fact that you know about something!
no subject
You mean something new or can it be anything we already know. Be specific.
[He can't hear the announcement but assumes there was one, but yeah, lets fucking around.]
no subject
[Trying hard to think of what he knows that's new - oh, that's it.]
Y'know, the new thing we know about now. Tell me a fact about it.

All the Aesir gods in Norse mythology are descended from a guy who a cow licked into being from a rock? Seems stupid to me.
