#neither of them are usually here during the day but Selek and Mira swapped shifts for some reason

Watching Mira and Kal try to get Nox to sit still and practice reading is the funniest thing because usually this time of day is Pond Time or Beach Time (depending on his whimsy and the weather) and he's fired up and this is a Sitting Politely activity. Debating how long I should wait before telling them he's not making up excuses, they are actually fumbling his routine... but I'm also really enjoying this cup of tea and my compression gloves and this porch swing. I'll wait five more minutes and then free all three of them from each other.
