The Barn, Thursday Morning

With the puppy still in the process of learning not to piddle indoors, Merlin found himself down in the barn all night to keep her company rather than clean up in the morning. It was actually rather warm even in the cool of the night. All the horses, after all.

And a puppy that decided to sleep curled up on his back.

"Brynne, you're going to make me unable to walk if you do that again," Merlin grumbled, giving her an annoyed look.

[[For one]]

4th Floor Hallway/Boys Bathroom, Thursday Evening

This had been a very, very very odd day so far. And Merlin was going to simply scream if the frustration didn't go away soon. He kept thinking about blond hair and muscles and soft curves in pink and it was all jumbled up to the point where he wasn't sure what was what anymore.

So, he made up his mind to go talk to Francine.

Talk. Yes.

Perhaps he ought to look up when he stormed on down the hallway.

[[For the girl!]]
