“Oh, thank you, ma’am.”
She nods, then shows her watch. It’s actually about time for lunch. She points down to the courtyard. “Alright, I’ll call a lunch break then. Shouldn’t we worry about the gym equipment though, move that back inside?” She shrugs, looking at you. “Eh, I guess I’ll have another crew worry about it.”
She grunts, shoves her hands in her pockets. And with that, she turns and walks away.
“Wow,” says one of the students. “Zumwalt survived a conversation with Hattie.” They start whispering and gossiping.

Again, Oleg was here to provide ice cream with the rest of the food trucks. “Ah, best solnyshka and best solnyshka! What surprise!” He hands you the usual creamsicle and another strawberry ice cream cone to Denise.
“Hey, Oleg,” you say. “How’s everything going?”
“Griselda, cutest one, is having me unrust and restore Koenigstiger to functioning capability. Have to source new engine, need to forge new tracks, need to remove rust and grime, other than that, basic work. Nothing too different from restoring aircraft,” he says. “Has the Jeep Jockey talked to you yet?”
“No,” you say. “Why?”

“What’s that?” you ask.
“Eh… she did not want to say to me,” he says. “But- enough serious talk, go on, have ice cream. Creamsicles not good?” He holds up a Spongebob ice cream pop. “We have Spongebob Squarepants! Or perhaps you may prefer sodapop instead!”
