Bariq was about to say something about the pencil when another student spoke up, but it didn't seem to help anything. He wondered how they were able to do that, considering they were a dog, and his own pet wasn't enjoying the sound. and started making a gruesome noise. He spoke above it, "Ace, was it? I do have things to do, though I'm not starting any actual class today. There are plenty of extra credit assignments you can do. Or you can continue to do what you're doing, just please stop the scratching." Most were just word finds, but there were various other papers they could choose.

While Frans knew where he belonged, and how to get there, he wasn't in any rush. He arrived late, which was a mistake on his part, but he was so late he felt it didn't really matter. Eventually he walked into art class and noticed only one other person there. They wouldn't be doing much, not that they would anyway in an art class. He walked in, adn without a word, sat down.
