Fandom Island Museum, Thursday Daytime

[hasaknightjob]

The butterflies were back in their room today, but they'd somehow gotten hold of a tablet and were currently using it to play music off of Steph's Pride playlist. They didn't seem to be bothering any of the other exhibits so Steven let them be, even if he felt that he could've done without a song with a rather pointed sounding title being played on repeat throughout the day.

Could barely hear it in the lobby, though, so it was fine. Steven could keep his head down and focus on trying to get through one of the harder translation exercises Lana had sent him. The distraction was appreciated, particularly since Steven needed all the help he could get not to dwell on what happened the last time he'd been at work.

At some point that day, too late for an early morning wake up but not too terribly late, Connor came out of the back office area, looking like he had just woken up not too long ago. Spoiler! He had just recently woken up.

"Hey mate" he said with a suppressed yawn. "Thought I heard ya. How's it going?"

Steven put his reading aside and took his glasses off. Any distraction was a welcome one after all. "Hello, Connor. All right. Research treating you well?"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Can't complain. Not that it would do much good anyways hey?" Connor said with a laugh. "But, yeah research is going good. Think I got a good starting base for what all is here in terms of plants and animals (oh you silly boy, you hadn't even encounters alots or tealdeers yet) so time to start digging a bit deeper."

"Don't lack for deeper around here," Steven said. "Residents or animals, I suppose. How's Rex doing? Butterflies aren't tempting him too much, are they?"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"He's doing alright, thanks for asking" Connor said. "Butterflies are a bit of a temptation for him yeah. So far as long as I take him out to the park or somewhere and let him get some dragonflies and such he doenst seem too keen on getting into the exhibit."

"Though..." Connor said after a moment' pause. "I probably should try to find a place of me own. It's not fair to Rex to keep him cooped up so much."

Steven remembered Connor saying he needed to find a place when they'd first met but he'd had no idea it hadn't happened yet. "Didn't know you were still looking. Pretty sure there's flats available in my building. Jon Sims would be the one to chat with."
