She is too tired to evaluate clothes quality but she defers to adult suggestion.  Pajama pants it is.

Once she's lying down she's a little worried that the moving woke her up some, and it's light out, and maybe she'll never be able to sleep right again - but then nope, she's out in just a few minutes.  For the next nine or ten hours.

Nine or ten hours later it's dark out and Haru and Ren are sleeping in Ren's bedroom.

Permalink

...Which at least means she'll be going to bed around the same time as them tomorrow?  If she's clocked the pattern right.

But as it is, she spends another dark period in quiet studying and slightly pathetic play.

Ren gets up first, padding out of her room in her own pajamas. "おはよう, Kennedy." Kennedy may or may not remember the word for "good morning".

Permalink

"Ummmmmmm.  Same to you, Swan-san."

Permalink

"Eggs and rice?"

Permalink

"Yes, please."

Permalink

Ren gets underway on the eggs and when they're ready plates them with some rice hot out of the cooker. Kennedy can shake the furikake on herself if she wants any. Ren has the same for herself. "Are you just having time zone trouble or is it more than that?"

Permalink

Yes she will have some.  "I think it really must be that the days here are too short for me, Swan-san."

Permalink

"That's going to make school quite tricky for you, hm."

Permalink

"...At home I just had tutors.  But I know that's because I lived very expensively."

Permalink

"I don't think the ダンジョン発生基金 is going to cover that, no. You said days were supposed to be how long for you? Thirty-something?"

Permalink

"Umm, thirty-two hours, but if all the other time amounts are different I don't know why those ones would be the only ones which are the same."

Permalink

"It'll give us a guess, at least. And you sleep how long each day?"

Permalink

"Ummm, usually from around twoct-four to threect-six?  So, ten hours?"

Permalink

"Hmmmm." She does a little calculating on a bit of paper that's around for kanji practice. It turns into somewhat more calculating. "...I think, unless I've made a mistake, that you could perhaps go to school for four days a week, skipping Wednesday, though it might feel very odd and you will probably need to catch up on sleep a bit on vacations."

Permalink

"...How long is it until school will begin, Swan-san?"

Permalink

"A little over a month. Thirty..." She checks her phone. "-four days from now. It's summer vacation at the moment, the overlap in summer vacation between the Japanese academic calendar and the Canadian one."

Permalink

"So there will be some time for me to try this out and see if it will work even a little, with no school."

Permalink

"Yes, we can try keeping you on a school schedule, four days a week, and then give you a little while to catch up on sleep before term starts. Probably it will get a little easier if you need less sleep as an adult? Is that what you expect?"

Permalink

"Umm.  My geminis sleep less than I do, yes."

Permalink

"That'll give you a little more wiggle room. And maybe you'll be able to nap easily and that'll let you be more flexible too." She draws up a little calendar for Kennedy with times to be awake each day. "I can wake you up on the days that would be your school days, till we get you a phone that can be your alarm clock."

Permalink

"Do you think my geminis are real, Swan-san?"

Permalink

"I don't know quite what to make of you, dear. I'd be pretty surprised to meet one."

Permalink

"You thought it made sense that I might match them in sleeping less when I'm grown up."  Can she have another hug?  She goes in for a hug.  "But you also guessed that before I said it..."
