Louis listened attentively as Justine merely shared that the professors were very kind. He was quiet for a moment, a thoughtful expression on his face, before he spoke again, “Yeah? Did you ever have class with a Professeur De La Fontaine?” he asked casually. “Paloma told me he was the main professor for most classes in her year, and he was rather… eccentric.” But Paloma had actually never mentioned this professor. Because he didn’t exist.
The boy felt tempted to ask Justine the reason behind her father’s decision to pull her from whatever school she had really come from, but decided to keep his curiosity to himself. He didn’t want to seem TOO curious or else she’d get suspicious of his own suspicions.
“I have,” he nodded with a smile. Lies. Paloma hadn’t told him all that much, really. And he was beginning to doubt Justine could tell him much more.
"Oh good, I vasn't very keen on going to the 'ospital wing," Justine teased, letting the little white kitten bat at her ear with an admiral amount of enthusiasm. Thank goodness the kitten's claws weren't quite fully developed or Justine's neck would be full of fresh cuts instead of kitten fur.
Relief slipped through Justine as Louis, seeming to believe her deception, asked her a question about a Professeur De La Fontaine, and even have her a description to go on. This was eaaaaasy, why had she been worried? Justine was an impeccable liar, had always been and considering how trusting Louis was, she highly doubted he would ever discover her secret. "Professeur De La Fontaine?" Justine said, her eyes glazing over as if she were remembering something. "Oui, 'e vas eccentric, did you say? zat is zee vay I vould 'ave put it," Justine said, with an affected giggle.
In Justine's arrogance, she did not even consider the idea that Louis was purposely baiting her. "Vell, I vouldn't vant to bore you vith more of zee same," Justine said, blissfully unaware of Louis' growing suspicion.
