[...]

I bet everyone could fit on one pillow like this.

That's one upside! And there would be too much blanket for anyone to hog it!

It’s easier than getting into bed, too.

[Or subsequently getting lost in bed, even.]

True that! Man, are we going to need air lifts just to get into bed...

[Well, some teleportation might help, but Kurt's keeping that a secret.]

[...Wow. Yeah, the more he thinks about it the less enthused he is at the prospect of trying to sleep.]

...Maybe I should find a comfortable spot on the floor.

That... might be the way to go. Hey, if you have any pillows on your floor, then you'd really be set!

[He shakes his head, like this is actually a great loss and not just the fact that there are no pillows on the floor.]

The house is too neat for that. And climbing on the couch would be even harder…

Man, bogus! Now that's why being clean and tidy is overrated...

Grandma doesn’t like it when her pillows end up on the ground… And she has back problems, so it’s hard for her to pick them up all the time.

[…At least some part of it is consideration as well?]

Oh man... [He frets.]

Gotta look out for Grandma! Things are gonna be tricky... Do you at least have any comfy rugs?

We have carpets, but... I don't know if that's enough.

[He's starting to frown. This... could actually be a bigger problem than he thought, for given definition of the word 'big'.]

Hoo! ...Maybe you should crash at someone else's place...

There's my grandpa, too.

[Hhhhhhhrm.]

...Maybe... I should find a way to get them into bed...

[They're still acting as though everything's normal, after all, and he's suddenly got a bad feeling they'll be insisting on sleeping normally too...]

Oh man, both grandparents? That's rough...

[He imagines that they're not aware just like his own relatives. So this definitely doesn't sound like an easy task at all.]

You could try... climbing the blankets?

I don't know if they can climb...

[He's not too sure about trying to climb with them on his back, either. If he fell, then...]

Make a ramp... maybe?

Yeah, now you're thinking! Look around the room for stuff you can use. Be creative!

[Nodding.]

I’ll see what I can do. …They think I’m sick.

[This is going to be his excuse all week for ditching school, probably.]

...Whoa, really? That's rough.

I didn't want to go to school.

[...Thankfully, his grandparents are so sweet, they bought it immediately. He doesn't really go out of his way to take advantage of that kindness, but just this once, he thinks it's preferable to trying to get anywhere when he's like this.]

Oh! So you're faking it? [Now he gets it.]

Way to go, brother!

[He holds his hand up for a high five!]

[High five!]

...I don't think I could've made it anyway.

[This was definitely the better option.]

Yeahhh, I hear you! Getting to school like this? It's a bit of a struggle!

A little.

[Was that a stealth pun or an accident, we may never know.]

I'm going to keep exploring with Charcoal. You?

[The mystery! Kurt still gives a mild chuckle in response.]

I'll do my own exploration, and see if I can make it to school in one piece...

It was good meeting you in person! And your pal too, of course.

Good to meet you too. And good luck getting to school.

[He pats Charcoal a couple more times to get the bun's attention, the bun having since turned its gaze elsewhere during their chat.]
