[ for the consideration from the both of them, that is. he certainly wants to help as much as he can, but overexertion may end up being a problem . . . well, it'd always be a problem. better to use what he had, along with the time that he had, for good rather than letting it sit, no?
he nods and agrees with jun— if pal could find more like a human thing-detector, well . . . it's exciting! ]
We can ask around for people who might be interested and have abilities to dig through.
Sure. I'd recommend we avoid blood-related abilities as much as we can; blood pollution in this place is bad enough without injecting it directly into the deep earth.
[That would just be irresponsible to do, like, knowingly? Ridiculous. Anyway, what was that other thing he heard...]
[ falco can't help his following response, lips tucked and smile spreading smoothly. from experience, falco knows it's probably good. anything was better than home, which was hardly a "school" and more preparation to perform specific, child-hazardous tasks. the robbie middle school in california hardly counted; he did much more snooping than actual studying there.
going to a real school was a dream come true, and he doesn't shy away from his enthusiasm to add, almost meekly: ]
What are they teaching there? Novice Blood Morphs?
[That's not a joke, he took that class back home. That's a real guess. Anyway, he's already a criminal on the school grounds for stealing a chalkboard, but...]
It's been a while, but I'm persistently good at preparing for exams. You know, if you two need any tips when it comes time for exam season.
[Which surely this school has? Defying all expectations, he doesn't care one whit about the school here, but surely it has a Dedicated Exam Season embraced with delight and humility, like normal schools. "Normal."]
[ falco's never been to proper school, but he has been educated, if that's something. alas, on topics that one wouldn't generally find in school for children: field survival. guerrilla tactics. basic first aid. shooting. math. weapons assembly and disassembly. mapping. hiking. eldian and titan biology. yeah . . .
he nods, feeling rather happy. ]
I have study discipline. [ if he studies, he'll go well. that won't be a problem— but there're also subjects he's possibly never heard of. ] It would be good to have your help with everything, Palamedes.
Sure, whatever I can do. I won't be much help with the specifics of history here, if they're going to teach you that sort of thing.
[Unless he spends a weekend in the library; but he has other priorities at the moment, so that might take him a while.]
Either way: you two are welcome to come here and do your work, if that horrible Archive in Gaze becomes too much of a bother. [unbiased.] Our own little archive is... quieter.
I don't think anyone's organized those . . . In a while. [ hard same, gang. ] If we need something from there, we can always bring it back here, can't we?

You two are going to school?
no subject
[He has them, sure - but that doesn't mean he can use them.]
... We're going to try going to classes at the school. See how we feel about what they're teaching there.
[He has his doubts, but... it's better than no school, probably.]

I'm very good at taking notes, if you ever need help with that.

[They've all got priorities. And while Jun's have him in the library often, history's not his favorite subject.]
And way better organized. Seriously, the Archives drive me up the damn wall...
[He's getting mad just thinking about it.]

[ he gives jun a quick reaffirming glance. ]
Especially things on the rocks and fossils.
