It's that time of year. Time to field last minute questions, figure out routes for trips, have IDs made and transcripts printed and finalize the decisions of the 18-year-olds in the Deck. It could be worse, Edie can't help but think. There weren't that many kids in each class in the Deck, after all. There could be so many more.

But this number of students committing to colleges is still a hassle, is still something that makes Evangeline Huntly very stressed. Which is why she'll be sitting on a bench in Town, grumbling to herself as she goes through files.

Grumble. "It's a nice day for getting all of this done without students pounding at your door, that's what it is."

"So you're sitting out in the open where they can sneak up on you? Sounds dangerous to me."

Yes, Edie, he's laughing at you. But at least not out loud?

"Honestly? Most of them are camped outside my door. They don't want to risk running around to find me when I might be coming back at any moment."

Justin laughs, "that's why you send somebody else to do the running around and give them a cellphone to call you with while you wait by the door."

You know, that's why people had lackeys.

"And I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't give them ideas, hmm?" She grins at that, though, genuinely.

"Who, me? Wouldn't dream of it."

He totally would. Maybe he could turn it into a business. Five bucks to give you tips on being a sneaky bastard.

"I'm watching you," she teases, pointing at her eyes with her fingers, then pointing at him. "Seriously, though."

Justin makes a show of drawing an 'X' over his heart. "Cross my heart."
