[voice]

As a follow-up reminder to Rydia's latest entry, this month is likely to be another New Feather cycle month if the new Organization management continues the trend. The Welcome Center is always looking for volunteers when New Feathers arrive.

While the weather may be warmer, there are still watch stations outside the village that should be maintained and well-stocked. Any volunteers are welcome. For now, I am organizing the effort, but I am looking for someone to take over that responsibility.

[There is a slight pause.] Is anyone working on the farmlands outside the village? I am curious to know what crops are being grown out there.

[Albert isn't up to anything special today. He's finally getting around to taking care of and sharpening that sword he had asked Sokka for during that reality-shifting experiment. He can be found working on the steps of his house, looking the sword this way and that as he works on it; it's more work than he usually has to put into sharpening an axe.

Afterwards, he'll make his usual rounds of tending to his garden and checking on the stables. ...Which will lead to a trip to the grocery store, because the horses need more grains.]

Having something familiar would help make the move less stressful, too. I could probably find something suitable in the item shop.

Then you should be set. Perhaps. I would not know if kittens require special food.

I can always ask Doctor McCoy, since they're still in his care. I could come up with a list of questions for him, since I've never had a cat before.

[And slightly wryly.] Not that it should be any more difficult than raising a child.

From my understanding-- [from general pet books] --cats are less pets as they are demanding housemates. I'm sure it will be an interesting experience for you, at least.

It'll be an adjustment, that's for sure. Even so, I wonder if the hardest part might be settling on a name.

You have plenty of time to think of one. [Now that school was over.]

[ she laughs softly. ] Fair enough.

So here I am already with more arrangements to make for the summer. Let alone getting some more practice in. Perhaps its less of a break than I thought.

Is it not common for the teachers to still be working while the students on are "break"?

I suppose it depends on the world you're from. [Because that line about a "break" was something of a joke.] I'm just used to being kept busy.

I'm sure you will find yourself bored before long, one way or another.

You really think so?

The summer day is long and you have only so many things to put on your to-do list.

If anything, there's always the old standby of finding something new to read or going for a walk, should that happen. So we'll see.

Indeed. [He turns to leave Raine's room at last.]

Looks like I have some straightening up to do. [She tilts her head in his direction.] See you later.

[He nods.] I will be outside. Let me know if you need any help with the rest of your school belongings.

Understood. I appreciate it.
