[They seem to notice the sad kitty look, at least.]

Is the thought of this being the extent of my existence so far an upsetting thing?

[cheerfuldays]

It is. It seems lonely, and frightening. I'm sure Miss Lorelei is kind to you, but... no one's world should be an empty school and just one other person.

[affligere]

It is neither of those things.

[Whether that's actually reassuring or not is up to Shizuku.]

There are more than one other person on campus at this time, as well.

[cheerfuldays]

We weren't always here, though- and we won't remain, either. What will happen then?

[affligere]

Things will go back to the way they were before, I assume.

[cheerfuldays]

Just the two of you?

[affligere]

Yes.

[Well, at least they're at the dorms now, so Florence heads to the dorm she shares with Madara.

She's still welcome to ask more questions, though.]

[cheerfuldays]

( they've accepted this so easily? ...

shizuku can't help but think it sounds like a sad, lonely life. but if that's all you've known, perhaps that's not so bad. still... )

... What would you like to have happen, after this?

[affligere]

I have no preference one way or another for what will happen when the course ends. I am sure I will be given a new task, and I will work on that task.

[cheerfuldays]

... There's nothing wrong with that. But at the same time, I think it's good to have wants of your own. So, I hope you can find something you'd like to do.

Now. How do we do this?

( she is not a girl who made a lot of blanket forts, unfortunately. i should fix that. )

[affligere]

[Is it good, though. Is it.]

We need a blanket and tape.

[Which we can assume they grabbed on the way there, it's fine.]

...And something to stand on, because neither of us are tall enough to reach the ceiling.

[cheerfuldays]

( thankfully, the desks at least have chairs! which she will insist someone hold while the other is on it for safety reasons. but yeah, shizuku will pull one over. )

Should I do it since I'm just a bit taller...?

[affligere]

That is acceptable. What you must do is simple - tape the edge of the blanket to the ceiling. It may not hold for long, but it is the best solution we have available right now.

[They will hold onto it, of course.

It's a shame they don't have anyone tall they can bully into helping right now.]

[cheerfuldays]

( it feels a little inelegant, but it'll do for now. ... she might go at it with tacks later, too. a bit more proper support. but shizuku will do as told! teamwork!! )

Ah... how's this?
