Is that right? That defeats the purpose of having notes, so there is great room for improvement. Oh, bother.

[ riddle has heard this sort of thing before, but floyd is the first to put it so frankly. by virtue of being something important to him, the other boy avoids a beheading for failing to sugarcoat his criticisms. ]

You do have a point... Were these notes for my reference only, it wouldn't matter so much. I hold study groups, however, so being able to reference information quickly and concisely is of the utmost importance. If I were writing them for you...

[ his thoughts are similar; riddle can't imagine someone with a photographic memory needing to bother with more than a sentence or two of information per point. the best way to get floyd to study would be through positive reinforcement. kisses, smiles, compliments-- ah, but that certainly won't be an option for his residents...

while floyd busies himself with a garden of soft hair, riddle is touching his chin in thought...before ultimately growling and erasing the entirety of his timeline. ]

The notes themselves are a timeline. I should have simply made a visual instead of writing all this out... I dread the thought of throwing all this work out, so I will apply your advice next time.

[ he makes a note to invest in some graph paper for this future endeavor; riddle picks up the small stack of papers, straightens them on the table, then (without tilting his head, of course) offers them to floyd. ]

Feel free to look as much as you'd like-- But do not bend them.

[ unsurprisingly, it bothers him if his notes aren't uniform. ]
