Deck | Afternoon | Wednesday | March 2

After what seemed like a winter that lasted forever, Bod was glad to see the temperatures warming enough that he could spend some time outside. He enjoyed common rooms but they didn't compare with finding a seat on the deck and breathing in the fresh air. There was just something he preferred about being outside and lounging in natural light. It was stupid but he'd never been the most normal boy.

With a book that he'd read already in hand, he'd found a seat on the deck and settled himself into it. It was still cool and there was a crisp wind but he wasn't cold. The seasons were on the cusp of changing, going from chilly grays to bright yellows and Bod couldn't wait.

Now, he just had to guard against napping on the deck. It had happened before, it'd happen again.

[Deck's an open place so open post, yep]

"Well... any time, I guess," Jeremy admitted. "I just haven't really gotten around to it yet. I think I'd have to call Clark and everything."

And he was lazy.

"You seem to want to go home badly so I'm surprised you're still here," Bod said honestly. "I just thought you'd leave at the first chance since you seem mostly unhappy."

"Unhappy?" If Jeremy looked surprised, it was mostly because he very rarely heard that word being used to refer to him. "I'm not unhappy. Sure, I'm a little bummed out about the prospect of tiny cabins, but dude, other than that I'm awesome."

"You just always seem to be longing for something else when we talk," Bod explained apologetically. "Sorry, I didn't mean to assume. I just thought you didn't want to be here."

"No, man, I just get a little homesick sometimes," Jeremy shrugged with another one of those little waves that said it didn't matter. "But this is the first time we've been sorta on our own, so I don't really wanna go back. Not permanently."

"Will any family of yours be coming for the upcoming Parent's Weekend?" Bod asked. "That might help you with the homesickness."

"I don't know, Dad said he wants to come check up on us." Oh look, there was another shrug. Jeremy didn't really care, either way: he had his closest family right here on the island. "He's pretty busy, so we'll see. I don't think my brothers have time but my other sister might."
