Roxy gave me the most orange kitten ever. She's really cute and fluffy.
I named her Orangina.
Last night she slept on my pillow by Lil' Cal. When school starts, she's coming with me too.

Flying, specifically.

_{[The fact his uncle is the teacher doesn't do anything to ease his recently developed fear of flying.]}

[patrioticspells]

Flying isn't that bad. It's only for your first year, anyways.

[givesyouaboner]

I'm trying to opt out of it.

[patrioticspells]

Are you afraid of heights?

[givesyouaboner]

_{[There's a few hesitation marks here, because he hasn't admitted this or even explained why it became a thing at all.]}




Not of heights themselves.
It's the flying.


And falling.

[patrioticspells]

You won't get hurt. You should talk to the teacher if you're so frightened, because I don't think you can just opt out.

[givesyouaboner]

I question how well that conversation would go down.
I'll just handle it my way.

_{[It's akin to PE, right? So he could totally just......skip class.]}

[patrioticspells]

Professor Banks would probably understand. You should talk to him.

[givesyouaboner]

Maybe. He seemed nice enough when we spoke before.
It might make my uncle mad though.
I just don't want to do it.

[patrioticspells]

I haven't gotten the chance to speak with him, but he seems kind. If you talk to your uncle, too, he might understand. If you're scared, you're scared.

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah, maybe.
If this was a long time ago it wouldn't be a problem.

[patrioticspells]

What's changed between now and then that you can't talk to family?

[givesyouaboner]

A long time ago I wouldn't have been scared.
