spacing out on the roof... as you do.

[Espio is sat on the roof again. The shiny curvaceous surface provides absolutely no obstacle to his climbing ability, and - as only a handful of cadets can actually reach him up here - it makes a nice quiet spot to sit and think.

Or, in this case, stare into space while holding a Rayquaza toy

[The following morning has Espio up early. The chameleon is seated at the table, leaning forward and looking pretty thoughtful as he prods a turnip. He's waiting for Tobias to get up.]

[That gets a blink, then Tobias smiles a bit wider and walks over, pulling the chameleon into a warm hug.]

[And for once, Espio neither freaks out or just stands there like a board - he goes ahead and returns it.]

[heartcorrupt]

[THAT'S very unexpected, but gets a somewhat tighter squeeze this time. Look how happy he is just with a hug, Espio!]

[turnip_rage]

Ack!

[The tighter squeeze caught him off guard! But he's okay with it for another moment before he pushes back, with an uncharacteristic nervous laugh.]

Alright, alright! I'd better get some sleep before I fall over or something...

[heartcorrupt]

Right. Good night.

Night.
