[hello Mayfield, have another babby (though he doesn't look much younger than usual) wandering around the city wearing way too many jackets. those who know Charles may notice that he's in an eerily good mood even with the freezing weather, and anyone out and about can find him:

A) holding a payphone and staring at the dial with a look of intense

OH MY GOD dsfhdifughdf a-also... C

[Just doing her typical dropping by Charles's house and crawling through the windows thing!! O-oh... He's looking a little scruffy today. She frowns. She'll give him a hair cut, okay.]

Có khỏe không? [doesn't wait for a reply] I've arranged it, I think- will you be available on Tuesday for lunch? [s-so excited about picnic ;u; she kneels next to him] You need a haircut. Walking around like this makes you look like you're not taken care of well. [and she won't have that okay!!]

[lotuslife]

[it's a cute hairstyle really w;A;w but she's not used to it!!

also

lolwhat

staring]

...You don't have to go to school, you know. Just skip it. [maybe a bit pleased he called her 'miss'!! 'mother' is next on the list ok...]

[lotuslife]

[don't be mistaken!!! school is important. Vietnam is normally pretty adamant about it. but this is Mayfield, under an American education system, and for all she's concerned it's mindless propaganda.]

...They're making you pay for it now? Aiyaaaa, dirty capitalists...

[lotuslife]

Every child has a right to get an education for free. [she looks a bit uncomfortable; this is an important issue to her okay]

[lotuslife]

[a-aaaah, he's being so cute today... pats him back] Of course there was. [she tilts her head.] He insisted on it. It was indoctrination- [CALMS HERSELF] ...But you can just skip on Tuesday.

[lotuslife]

Didn't you already agree? I won't let you change your mind. Just give it a chance.

[lotuslife]

Aiyaaaa, do you have to be difficult about everything? [grabs his hand.] Come inside.

[lotuslife]

[wow. now it's seeming kind of weird to her... as if it wasn't before lmao fjdkghkdf. but typically Charles would just shanghai his way out of her grip, so...]

There is no headmaster. Really, what was gotten into you?
