413, Monday morning (and pretty much all day)

[vkandis_son]

Altra was off somewhere, having left Karal at the door to his room after the Dawn Rites. This wasn't a problem; he'd be back soon enough, and Karal knew his way around

When Aravis returned to her room after class, she was a bit sleepy though nothing out of the ordinary. "Good morning, Karal."

She had not yet discovered the chocolatey glory.

[vkandis_son]

"Morning, Aravia!" He felt like he was vibrating slightly, and he turned in his seat to smile at her as Altra lifted his head so he could see her.
Are you well today?"

[notqueenyet]

"Well enough," she said, smiling slightly and wondering who Aravia was omg. "You seem...alert."

[vkandis_son]

Shhh, I hadn't had coffee yet, you're lucky I got Karal's name right!. He frowned slightly while ALtra's tail went twitch, twitch, twitch. "I suspect it may be because of the taps," he ventured, tapping a pen on the desk in time with Altra's tail.

"Is there something wrong with them?" she wondered, looking concerned.

[vkandis_son]

"Not wrong, precisely..." He trailed off, thinking about how much Aravis loved chocolate, then grinned and turned to find a clean mug in the desk drawer. "Here," he held it out, "go and find out."

[notqueenyet]

She took the mug, staring at him, before wandering into the bathroom and turning on the tap.

Mere seconds later, she reappeared. "That's chocolate!"

[vkandis_son]

"It came as quite a suprrise this morning," he said, laughing quietly. "And there seems to be no limit to it. Altra and I may have drunk more than we should have, but it's just so nice!"

[notqueenyet]

"...maybe I can bathe in it," Aravis said excitedly, clearly considering it.

[vkandis_son]

Karal boggled, then grinned. "You could! I think it would be rather sticky, ut there's always the pool to rinse off in, if all the taps are pouring out hot chocolate...Hmm, unless that's chocolate, too."

[notqueenyet]

"It would be lovely, in any instance," she said dreamily. "I had a dream like this once!"

[vkandis_son]

He put his chin in hands, watching her through Altra's eyes, and grinned at her expression. "It's good of Fandom to give us something nice for a change. Usually the weirdness is a nightmare, not a dream."

[notqueenyet]

"Or at the very least, bizarre," she replied.
