you ever have something happen to you that you're like "nah that'll never happen to me" but then here you are, plus one dog and feeling the weight of parental responsibility on your shoulders? i'm too young for this. anyway this is ruffles at the dog park just now! retrospec's width limitations suck but, you can probably tell he's a really good dog. well, i guess, with his previous owner and all. so i pose this question to you: do you think animals can feel sad and do they miss people that are no longer here?


[are you talking about yourself or the dog, prompto?]

oh, that's good to hear. I totally get it. I just meant that there's a lot of pets who end up in shelters because they're not wanted.



... do you think I could come over and pet your dog sometimes?

oh my gosh
I'd love that but Mikleo doesn't like dogs
maybe rufus can change his mind

I was thinking the end of this month. I'd make it March 17th but we both have to work that day

he's a cat person
but he claims dogs are noisy and smell bad!!!! that's so unfair
it's not their fault they smell like wet dog when they're wet. i mean humans smell like wet humans
probably
I haven't actually checked.

cabin 11 needs all hands on deck that day, for obvious reasons
but thanks! I'll send out a reminder too.

all I ever smell is body wash and deodorant so I don't know. unless I've been out on a dig.
yep, kittens are cute too so I've just resigned myself to the fact I'll never own a dog so long as I live with him.
yeah!! I hang around there a lot. I teach his sister's history class sometimes and he also does some martial arts stuff

[Poor Prompto.]

you're a good man, prompto.

[Oh right he never actually. Told Prompto. Oops.]

just a student teacher!! I needed some experience toward my degree since I missed internships last year. undergrads end up teaching a lot more than you'd think but most of the time they're just grading machines.

[Now Sorey's the one who's embarrassed!!]

I'm..... kind of lame honestly..... I throw so much into my work that sometimes I forget to go out and do other stuff. between school and work and kendo I'm basically on the go all the time
but this is my dream. not teaching -- archaeology. I've wanted to do it since I was a little kid. archaeologists get to explore and dig up history and puzzle it all together. there's nothing better

if you really want to do something, you can't give up even when it all seems impossible.

thanks man
archaeology isn't dead! well. I mean. all the people we dig up are, but that's another story. archaeology is why we can read hieroglyphs, use the mayan calendar, and trace the rise of human society before there was written history. before we started looking ourselves, all we had to go off of was what the Greeks and Romans wrote down and... well... people in power rewrite history as they see fit.
it's not dinosaurs, but that's the most famous related field I can think of.

you want to be a photographer, right? in some ways that's easier. if you think you're a photographer, you are one.
but we both kind of have to get published to be taken seriously.

[Sorey needs to join the puppy club. Prompto is obviously the president.]

yep kindred spirits!!

yeah Recollé isn't exactly a center for archaeological development. all the cool stuff I've found was in New Mexico actually..... there's a lot of pottery and old houses. sometimes you find skeletons buried under their floors

on the other hand, they did find richard iii under a parking lot.

it's totally real.
he was super unpopular at the time so they didn't bury him with the honors usually afforded a king
Historians have always debated that treatment though. when they dug him up, he was given a ceremony and interred in a proper resting place.
makes me wonder if richard's ghost haunted the nearby buildings......

some places let you, yeah!! I've got pot shards, trilobites... some really old amber. but anything uncommon or notable belongs in a museum.
