Groovy Tunes, Saturday

[furnaceface]

Jono could make himself available in his office today, but the truth of the matter was, he would really rather claw out his own eyes than spend a day sitting at his desk waiting for somebody to come along to grill him on what he was teaching their little darlings. Besides, he had a business to run, here. There was a new Janet Jackson album out

Of course Harry was continuing his completely reasonable round of the island while avoiding Eggsy completely. He was just there to make sure Lee's son was doing alright.

And was apparently employed doing something that was legal. Consider Harry proud.

"Good morning."

[whatmakethman]

"That's good. If there's one thing a young man needs in life, it's a school like that."

And to not become a criminal because of disenfranchisement. Or set things on fire. Oh god, Harry was never allowed to talk to Atton.

[furnaceface]

And if Eggsy ever met Sparkle, there would go the whole island.

//I've found it tends to do people some good,// Jono agreed. //Have you heard much about the education offered here?//

Good to know what kind of conversation they were about to be in for. And if Eggsy's time on the island was on the line because of it.

[whatmakethman]

Poor life choices and rentboy aspirations abounds.

"I've spoken with one of his teachers. A Mr. Bond?"

Who he had his suspicions about.

[furnaceface]

But what a way to go, right?

//I don't know Bond terribly well,// Jono admitted. //I do know the man is exceptionally competent in whatever he chooses to teach. Eggsy's in good hands with that one, I'd say.//

Like, extremely.

[whatmakethman]

Harry just hummed at that. Because there would be no stealing of his future sugar baby mentee, thank you.

"I'll take your word on that. An objective opinion is always good to get."

[furnaceface]

//And not always easy to find,// Jono agreed, nodding faintly. //Especially on an island with a population of mostly teenagers. Subjective is rather what they do best, isn't it?//

[whatmakethman]

"I find that doesn't change much even as people age," Harry replied dryly. Having put up with far too much annoyance from Arthur concerning class.

[furnaceface]

//I suppose that would depend on the person,// Jono offered, //though that statement is fairly subjective all on its own. Even so, if you want an objective opinion about anything around here, feel free to ask. The island can take a bit of getting used to before most people really manage to figure out what it's about.//

[whatmakethman]

Well, it was good to be that aware of things. "Any cause for serious concern?"

[furnaceface]

//Nothing lasting,// Jono said, after a moment's pause. //The local wildlife sometimes gets feisty, and the weather is occasionally rather disagreeable, but the locals are good at coming together as a community to solve any issues that are larger than that. I tend to take special care to look out for my students and employees, come to that.//

He'd wound up being attacked by bloody Splicers in Rapture once for the sake of one of his employees. He wasn't kidding.

[whatmakethman]

"Good good." And Harry did mean that. He would hate to have to come back here and thrash someone for the lad. Well. No. That was a lie. He totally loved fighting, but that wasn't gentlemanly, was it?

"Should be prove to be anything like his father, I dare say Eggsy will rise to the occasion should it come down to it."

And probably pick a fight with someone or something way larger than him.

[furnaceface]

Jono was going to end up punching velociraptors for this kid or something, wasn't he?

//He seems like a good lad,// Jono mused. //And the school has a way of attracting the exact sort of students who'll do just that. He'll be in good company, there.//

[whatmakethman]

Yes. Yes, he would. But only if Jono also rode a motorcycle with those raptors first. Doooo iiiiiit.

"Anything would be better than the one he was in before."

Because someone had creepily kept an eye on that too. Harry. Seriously.

[furnaceface]

Well, Jono did have a motorbike now. But if anything gnawed on his Norton, he'd be punching it for more than just Eggsy's sake.

//Well, now I've got to admit you've got me curious. Is there anything I ought to know about?//

[whatmakethman]

"I just happen to believe he has more potential than he has lived up to until now."

He ~*believed*~ in him.
