holy fuck did they change the bus routes?
ive been on this bus for 3 hours and were nowhere near school!!
so i guess im gonna be late for all my classes. shit.
fuck you transit system

[AND THEN, TWO MINUTES LATER, AN ADDITION]

yeah ok so were driving up into some mountains now so
theres a chance i got on the wrong bus.

[And this is why he should never ever leave Timcanpy at home.

If there's anyone else riding the bus to Magatus this fine weekday morning? There's a hot topicy teenage boy with a backpack looking very much like he hadn't packed for a weekend in the mountains WHOOPS.]

its okay. im fine with heights
used to do acrobatics.

[keystaff]

An acrobat? Like in the circus?

[redarm]

yeah.
my dad was an entertainer in the circus
id help him out sometimes.

[keystaff]

That's so neat! Could you show me or teach me some tricks? It sounds like fun!

[redarm]

[NNNNNGH. Most people he would say no to, but Sakura did just agree to fly with him so-]

sure.
could probably teach you a handstand.

[keystaff]

I can kind of do one? Sort of. But I bet you could teach me to do a better one! I already know some things from cheerleading and all at least.

[redarm]

i didnt know you were into cheerleading.
but yeah okay, i can see if i can help improve your handstand.
good place to start.

[keystaff]

I am! That's why I'm later from school some afternoons. But I'm sure that could be fun! I can sort of manage them, but. You're probably much better if you did them a lot with the circus.

[redarm]

oh that explains that.
well alright well see what we can do.
flying for handstands seems like a fair trade.

[keystaff]

Right! I know I probably won't be as good as you but still. Handstands and cartwheels are fun! I bet I'd get even better gym class marks for that!

[redarm]

thats okay. youll only get better with practice.
youll knock the socks off in gym once were done.

[keystaff]

Maybe if any others ask, I can send them to you for lessons.

[If he could use some more pocket money or something. If any of her friends ask.]

[redarm]

i dunno about THAT
im really not the teacher type
this is more a special favor cause we live together
and youre letting me fly with you.

[keystaff]

Ah I guess. I wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable or anything if you didn't want to. Just thought it might be fun and a way to get you a bit more money.

[Because she probably still hasn't figured that he works at the bakery with her.....]

[redarm]

[ There's a good chance she hasn't. Just because....Noah never bothered to explain...way to go. ]

its ok
i got a job.

[keystaff]

I figured you might. Where do you work?

PRIVATE

[redarm]

[Switches this to private because he don't want people knowing his location]

the confectionary...?

PRIVATE

[keystaff]

[He might just hear her 'hoeeeeee?' from wherever he is, if he's actually at home. Or he can probably just imagine it, likely having heard Sakura sound all surprised at some point or other over the months they've been living together.]

Eh? Since when? I've been working there for a while now and I don't recall seeing you there?

[Maybe they just have different shifts? Especially with her cutting down to one or two days at most, now she moved in with Fai and all.]

PRIVATE

[redarm]

[..............

Ok they haven't worked together THAT often but...]

im robin, sakura.

[You know that british "girl" that's always wearing gloves and is very nice to the customers.]

PRIVATE

[keystaff]

[....She takes a moment in rereading this. A few times. Because. Wait. What. What does he mean he's -- oh.....?]

wait, that's you?!

PRIVATE

[redarm]

yeah, thats me.

PRIVATE

[keystaff]

I never realized. That probably means the others don't know either?

PRIVATE

[redarm]

fai knows, but yea i keep quiet about it
dont want to get crap at school about it.

PRIVATE

[keystaff]

Oh. Right. So I won't say anything.

PRIVATE

[redarm]

thanks
id appreciate that.

im not embarrassed by what i do
i just dont wanna deal with guys whod make an issue of it.

[Because then he'd have to beat them up and get detention]
