Flufftober 6 - Late Night Talks
A/N: Day six of this challenge.
Sometimes you don't feel like going to sleep. And lucky you, you have a companion for that occasion. Someone who didn't like sleeping at night.
You and Bram occupied one of the small tables in the living room. Sitting in comfortable armchairs, you were enjoying hot chocolate with marshmallows. Well, you were enjoying it. While Bram can eat, despite not requiring food, he wasn't in the mood for eating right now. But he still kept you company.
"So, as I was saying, at the end of the lecture, only three or four students were awake."
"Were you among the heroes and stayed awake?"
You take a generous sip of your hot chocolate.
"Unfortunately, I lost right at the end."
You noticed a sly expression on Bram's face.
"Hey, don't look at me like that! It should be a crime to read poems in a quiet, emotionless voice."
"Of course it should be. A crime of putting one through a few hours of listening to something one have no interest in."
You crossed your arms on your chest.
"Well, sorry, Bram, for not being like you. I can't spend a few hours in a row watching multiple videos on how to shoe a horse. I don't like when works of literature are being read in a monotone voice."
Bram clicked his tongue, but his eyes remained warm. He wasn't annoyed, just up to some good, friendly banter.
"It is a good skill to absorb any information you can find. As for "how to shoe a horse", you will thank me when young Kenji gets one."
"No. Neither he nor you will get a horse. Where will we keep it? Besides, we don't have a hippodrome in this area. The horse will just be there."
"A valid point. Does it mean we have to build a hippodrome or a circus first?"
"No! But where did the circus come from?"
"A place for a horse. Besides, we all can become a traveling circus. Life will be interesting. I can be a prop for "sewing in a half" magical trick."
"Francis can sell tickets."
Bram's expression mirrored yours.
You two started to discuss what jobs BSD Cast will do in a hypothetical circus.
It was great to have a friend with whom you can have weird late-night conversations.
