WHO: Barclay Grisholt and Trent Kane
WHEN: Wednesday Evening
WHERE: The infirmary
It was dark in the infirmary. The overhead lights had been turned off, but the individual lights on the nightstands had been left on. Never mind that there was only one bed occupied. Barclay was waiting for Trent to wake up, but in the meantime, he was keeping busy. He was doing research on dragons. Specifically, he was trying to find examples of good dragons in Indo-European history and mythology.
He was currently trying to decipher an ancient scroll in Ugaritic. All the dragons and serpents he was identifying however, were, well, monsters. Variations of Illuyanka, Yam, Tiamat and the Leviathan kept popping up, but so far, nothing benevolent had appeared. Except for Y Ddraigh Goch, nothing had seemed to promising.
Damn.
It didn't help that Barclay's Ugartic was very basic at best. He had to look up about every other word, though he had mastered the alphabet. Maybe he'd ask Ms. Edouard for help...
He heard something stir besides him. He glanced aside. It seemed Trent was waking up. "You got the whole school talking about you, you know," he said, "so you're pulling focus. Like always."
