Not so wee as all that, but yes. They do shine, rather.
I'm not surprised it was sparse, either. Everyone was going on last night in class, about all the gossip.
As to Hydra - honestly, I've said my bit about that, and if it'd help to have me speak to her, I'm still willing. But she's struck me as surprisingly mild, compared to a number of other examples among her peers. Even if your brother is fussing.
And on the work, I'd rather spend that time other ways too.
It's one thing to bring some marking, and if I get it done companionably sitting around Sunday morning, well, one less thing to do later. But I'd rather not feel like I had to, or lose all hope of dealing with the investigation, so getting ahead feels lovely.
