I'm leaving for a few days. I need to get out of h focus. I have final exams starting today and through next week.

If you need me, call.

I've put in a request for a substitute to cover my classes, but it was last minute. So. Apologies if it ends up falling to someone else.

[Emma]

Can I stay at yours or should I get a hotel? [...] I don't want to draw any undue attention to Christian.

Are you Good luck. If you need help studying, you call too.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

If you Don't worry about your classes. We'll handle it.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

If you were anyone else, I might take offense at this. But I will keep it in mind. Gracias.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

None of you should have to pick up my slack. [...] But I appreciate that.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I'll order you some suitable snacks. You need to be sure to keep your energy up.

[Manuel]
Of course darling. I assume you still have the keys? Christian has everything under control so don't worry about him.

If you're feeling up for it I'm sure he'd love to have you for dinner, but you know he won't mind one way or the other.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

I just like studying

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

If you insist. But I promise, I have no intention of enduring academic penance. I'll take care of myself.

[Emma]

Sí, I have them. Thank you. I'll let him know I'm coming.

I'll see how my studies go. [...] How is he handling everything? His public response has been impeccable, so far.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

We're glad to. Although it does pose a problem that I don't know anything about music.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Naturalmente. Brush up on synaptic modification, then, if you're feeling so inclined.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I know you will, but I want to make sure you're indulging a bit.

[Manuel]
[...] Would you mind if I went into the city with you, just to see him? I won't stick around or disrupt your studying, of course. Just a quick trip.

He's managing fairly well, but he's still a little rattled from our Antarctica adventure I think. But as always, he takes direction well.

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

Don't worry for even a second, mein Freund. I'm excellent at chemistry.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Qué vergüenza. This is why I requested a substitute.

What would you do, then?

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Are you?

Anyway, I'm not worried. I simply need time to focus and prepare.

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

Well, maybe a different kind of chemistry. But I skimmed one of your books once.

We'll celebrate when you return.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Gracias, then. Who am I to turn down an opportunity for indulgence?

[Emma]

Of course not. Not that you need my permission.

[...] Understandable. But I'm glad he's managing.

[shake_it_off Paige Guthrie 🌻 Husk]

Good luck!!!!! If you need any extra highlighter colors before you go let me know. I found a pack with [...] honestly kind of weird colors. But it's nice to differentiate.

I'm sorry that

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

What sort of co [...] I have everything I need. But thank you.

Shouldn't you be using those yourself, anyway?

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

We'll celebrate when I graduate. And when things are less

[shake_it_off Paige Guthrie 🌻 Husk]

Sure thing! I'm sure the quiet will help a lot.

I'm past the highlighting part luckily. It's onto phase 2.2.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

You would be very, very silly. Or Scott Summers, I suppose.

[Manuel]
I know, but I figure it's polite to ask if I can travel with you. Sometimes I can be polite.

I feel bad for putting him in this position, but it was the right move. Our father is already stirring.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

My curiosity is piqued. What does phase 2.2 entail?

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Perish the thought.

[Emma]

I appreciate your consideration, of course. When can you be ready to leave?

It was. And it's worked out well for both of you. [...] Do we need to be concerned about your father?

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Oooh I will. It’s always so fun to remember biology exists. I’m usually stuck with wires and numbers.

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

Why not both? Once for finishing your exams, a second time for graduating?

[shake_it_off Paige Guthrie 🌻 Husk]

Copying highlighted info out by hand, grouping by color (which obviously refers to area and type of info). [...] Nothing exciting.
