[ well, crow's at the pool. which, by "at the pool" i mean, "is in his full regular outfit, sat on one of the starting blocks for races, staring at the water like it's going to impart secrets to him".
[it's a fine and normal day here in murder school! or not, because when rupert wanders into the library, porridge trailing behind him, he sees crow and immediately
[ because i want all y'all to suffer for putting him on your hot list, and also me to suffer for crow in general, he's going to get a bite in. just a lil' chomp as a treat.
[he's immediately moving away while shrieking entirely.]
—Sorry! Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I have no idea why I... Something just came over me and I... I don't know why I did that, seriously! Are you okay? It wasn't that hard, right?
[ yo rupert, what's up. crow's just by the pool. he's dressed like he's about to swim, but he's not actually getting in the pool, just dangling his legs off the edge and into the water. ]
[he's just kind of... wandering around after that, looking pretty down after everything that happened. he gives a little wave when he sees crow near the pool, though.]
[ surprise, it's a separate one from all the sad winter hug pile shenanigans. crow will go along to the classroom later, and while he's still like
not jazzed this is happening? there's something a little more serious in his face as he pulls up a chair, and spins it around so he can do that thing where you see with the backrest as your arm rest. ]
... I'm not going to push you for all the gritty details, but I do want to ask you a few things, Rupert. While the others aren't here.
[a while after the new arrivals have come and had a chance to (well, hopefully) settle in a little, rupert's out in the playground area, but he gives crow a smile when he sees him.]
If tomorrow is anything like last week, this place will hopefully be getting a little bigger... A welcome change, right?
[on this monday morning, rupert is looking around for crow! and when he successfully locates him upon coming to the pool area, he's raising a hand in greeting.]
Hey there. I didn't get to say it yesterday, so - thank you.
[because, while his eye still looks cloudy, it's 100% more intact than it was yesterday after they got back.]
w0, monday
so he's at like... a 50% pass rate, maybe. ]

What is this? Some kind of manmade lake...?

he snaps his fingers and points at rupert. without looking up from the pool. ]
Y'know, that's not a bad description.

Have you guys seriously just been in these tiny rooms? They must’ve scrambled to figure out some place to house everyone if that’s the case.

[lila, the resident child... anyways.]
At least it's right next to the admin building. Of course, that'll only matter if that stupid bear ever finds the rest of his keys...
