It's been quite some time now that Snek spend her time in the library with Contess. She loves making a fellow Hypogean happy and every game Contess suggests is her favorite game ever. They've been playing Hide'n'Snek, they've been messing around with students, they even played Chess (even though Snek may not yet fully understand what the goal of that game is just yet).
But sometimes, when Contess talks about the students out there and all the punishments she had to enforce.... Snek looks out through the windows in the lounge, with a longing in her face that always prompts Contess to say "You are free to go and see for yourself! Don't be stuck in here like I am. It's way too boring."
But the more Snek ponders, the more she realizes that ... freedom is also boring. There is no place she can't reach, no wisdom she couldn't teach and also... no rules she could breach... unless...
Snek waits patiently for Contess to emerge from her book. When she finally does, Snek slowly opens her eyes and approaches with the most eagerly begging expression possibly known to Hypo-kind.
"Snek snek, sneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek?"
(Can I have a student badge, pleaaaaaaaaaase?)
➢✉ Contess fully understood that being stuck in this library and playing the same games and retelling stories got boring, draining even. It would make sense that her companion would want to leave...
➢✉ Though then Snek asked for a student badge, which surprised her a bit. However, the more that the Hypogean thought of it, the greater the idea seemed. It was a perfect balance between school work and private game sessions!
➢✉ Contess quickly arranged a new badge, filling it with Snek's info, making her an official student at the Lyceum.
➢✉ "Of course, here you go! I'm looking forward to how many rules you can break..."
