Jack was behidn the counter for the start of his shift. Not even the mariachi music could lift up his spirits.

He was wearing his mortarboard (but not the gown), anxious as to what would would be happening with his life now that he had graduated.

He was also eyeing the "Now Hiring" sign and wondering if he should put that up in the window.

The mariachi music gave Irulan pause, then smiled.

"Hello, Jack," Irulan greeted. "And, I believe, congratulations are in order?"

"Hello, ma'am," he said, feeling like he should salute or something. "And yes. I'm a high school graduate." That last came out around a bright grin.

Irulan smiled, "How very wonderful, will you be leaving the island soon, Jack?"

"Well, there's a backpack trip I want to take for the spring, here, but...soon."

Next week, actually.
