Stone's next question however, brought a brief bark of laughter forth from him, the apple finally being brought up and a bite taken out of it before being chewed quickly and swallowed. "Got out early." Which was at least partly true. "Guess the director thinks I'm working too hard." A slightly embarrassed smile rose and with a shrug another bite of his apple was taken. "How about you? School or a job or something?"
