With a little bit of a later start to her day this semester than usual (although the nature of her class on Thursdays would hopefully mean bringing in some various baked goods for the nurses, depending on whatever they ended up making!), Libby was ready to get back into her routine at the clinic, and definitely eager to get back into her studies. A much lighter regular class load this semester meant she could really spend some time picking up some extra online courses specifically tailored to her interest in nursing, even if that was going to mean a lot more time on the computer and with her nose in a few more books.

Not that the second one would ever be an issue, even if those books were far less the fantasy adventure tales she liked to read about and more medical documents and textbooks.

Still, she wasn't the only one with lots of studying to do, either. Apparently, Stabby was taking some sort of crab correspondence math course, and Libby, foolishly, thought that she'd always been pretty decent at math, maybe she could help him if he started to struggle.

Which worked for the first few pages, but, eventually, it went a little beyond her humble homeschool algebra and accounting, and she was going to try to not be too distracted from her own work to want to go figure out crab-math on top of medical math.

The distraction from crab-math might be nice, though hopefully not for anything too critical!

They probably won't be needed for any crab-math related headaches, but you never knew!

Hopefully, lunch wouldn't be too critical or technical. Because there was Kurt, right on time, with the insulated lunch bag in tow!

"Happy New Year, Libby!" he said with a grin. "How's the first day back going so far?"

"Quiet," said Libby, looking up from the computer toward Kurt with a smile, "which is a good thing. And I guess me and Stabby are going to be homework buddies. He's taking some kind of math class, apparently..."

With that, she was rolling her chair back already to get the other chair to pull it up to the desk for Kurt.

"And how's your day been, Kurt?"

"Very quiet too. I have a much lighter class schedule this time around. I actually have no classes at all today!" he replied as he set the bag on the desk. "The Professor said I earned it after doing so well with all the classes last term!"

"I actually wound up with a lot fewer classes this semester, too," Libby admitted, feeling almost a little bit bad about it, which was sort of a weird feeling, "but I'll definitely be making up for it with a heavier workload with my nursing studies. I've been looking over the program for this time around and it's definitely going to be a lot. So the fewer classes is probably a good thing, I can focus more on this," her thumb hitched toward the computer with a sigh, "than things like libraries and traveling and outer space religions..."

If her tone was a little bit wry about having to give those things up for something more practically, well....good, that was exactly what she was going for. But she smiled at Kurt. "I'm glad you've gotten yourself a well-earned break, though. What are you taking this semester, anyway?"

"I have Life Skills with Summer on Monday, I signed up for the Community Center Class on Wednesday since that is all about dinosaurs, and then Friday, I have Intro to Zoology."

He gave Libby a smile. "I'm glad it worked out where I have Thursdays off as far as classes go, so we can still have lunch together! But if we need to shift things at all for your nursing classes and work let me know."

"And I'm taking a baking class before this," Libby said with a pleased smile, "so maybe I'll have something to share with you, too. No need to shift anything around." Her smiled went a little sheepish, her cheeks a little red. "I really like getting to take a break for our lunches, Kurt."

"Oh, a baking class would be fun!" Kurt nodded with agreement and then gave a shy smile of his own. "I enjoy our lunches together too. Maybe with your class, we can coordinate some of these lunch dates. I can make the main dish, and you can be in charge of a dessert or something!"

"Well, I won't really know what we'll be making until the class happens," Libby pointed out, with a faintly apologetic grin, "but I could always text you as soon as I know. And it's First Period, so that might leave enough time between then and lunchtime for you to put something together."

"Or," Kurt said with a grin, "We can plan ahead a week. You learn something, we see if we are inspired to build a meal around it, and then try it the following week."

He gave Libby a playful wink as he opened up the bag and set out the food.

"Since it's still chilly, I went with some sausage and wild rice soup. Got lots of veggies in there too. Hope you like it," he said as he dished out a big bowl for each of them.

"That does kind of ruin the surprise, though," Libby pointed out, as she leaned in a little with an eagerness to see exactly what Kurt had brought and what smelled so good. "I kind of like not knowing what sort of delicious food you'll be bringing in each week."

There was a slight hesitation before she added, "Gives me even more to look forward to."

"Well, then maybe we will have to add a second lunch get-together so you can show off what new things you learn to make."

Double the surprise, double the food, and double the time with Libby.... sounded like an all-around win to Kurt.

"But I am sure we can figure something out. And in the meantime, I hope you like the soup. It's a new recipe I learned over the holiday while visiting the folks (no matter if the recipe say Italian OMG). "

"Or," Libby suggested with a faint laugh, "I could just show you,no second lunch required, although I definitely wouldn't say no to more of your food. And I don't even need to try it yet to know I'm going to love it. All your food is amazing, Kurt."

Now it was Kurt's turn to duck his head slightly and smile down into the bowl in front of him for a moment as he rubbed the back of his head.

"I like being able to learn new recipes and share them with you, Libby," he said, finally lifting his gaze for a moment and smiling softly. Then he put his attention back on the bowl and began to eat.
