Fandom High School

Ignis, perhaps foolishly, thought he could be better than this. That, knowing what he knew about the current caffeine situation on the island, he could meet his withdrawal symptoms head on by taking care of himself, staying hyrdrated, resting, eating well, but...alas, it didn't seem to do much good at all, and he was feeling rather terrible that morning. Thankfully, not terrible enough that he couldn't think of an alternate lesson for his class today, because there was no way he was going to be able to pull through his original lesson on cooking in his current state.

Besides, he'd been looking forward to the cooking classes; he wanted to actually enjoy them.

So a message was sent out, and a note was placed on the classroom door, to not only inform the students that they would be meeting in town that day, but to apologize for the last minute notice on the change of plans, but letting them know that, clearly, it would be worth their while, because they would be convening at the animal shelter.

He gave them all a weak smile that seemed to wonder who turned the sun up so bright as they gathered inside Furnado. "Once again," he started, "I apologize for the unexpected relocation, but I'm afraid I'm feeling a bit under the weather at the moment. Still, I wouldn't want that to deprive you all of a good lesson, which is why today, with the help of Mr. Argentum and Prince Sidon here," and he gave a gesture to those two standing ready and way too eager to get started, all things considered, "we will be discussing a very important topic indeed for any household that plans to have any furry, scaly, or feathered companions, and that is pet care."

"Because when you take in a pet," Prompto chimed in brightly, "you take in the responsibility of a whole life, and so before you make a decision like that, you've got to make sure you're prepared to treat that new little buddy with all the love and atttention and care it deserves! Now, Sidon here, he actually runs this place, but both he and I worked here at Furnado when we were students like you guys, so we've got a lot of experience. Today, we're going to lead you guys through a lot of the important basics of pet care and what you need to keep in mind before you take on the responsiblity of letting a fuzzy new friend into your life."

"And what's more!" added Sidon, with a burst of energy and a laugh that made Ignis want to cringe and possibly crawl into a hole somewhere. "We'll be doing it with the animals themselves! So let us begin! And we'll start by asking ourselves, why do we want a pet in the first place, hmmm?"

With that, the lecture between two people who were seriously very unfairly unaffected by all this commensed, while Ignis hung back, still clinging desperately to a can of Ebony in the vague hopes that maybe, just maybe, this can would be the one to finally have caffeine again...
