Y'can count on me to be as oblivious and as least invasive as possible. M'a good kid, y'can ask all the other professors. Y'don't have to worry about me."
Sooooo...
Ahem.
... "Well. This has been nice. Hope y'enjoy your cookies, sir." They would just... go, then? Unless someone had something else they wanted to say? Quote:

Alright, so that wasn't entirely fair. While his words had been honest, so was her disappointment. And he had vowed he wouldn't be like the others that had tried to steer him away from his chosen path. Maybe, there were other reasons she had, and excitement had spoken first.
Sabel's attention slipped to Brown as she too, turned....strange. "I appreciate the sentiment, but please, never promise to be oblivious to anything." It was a bad habit to get into. Didn't mean she had to report what she saw, but she should still be encouraged to see it.
A heavy sigh left him, and his eyes went to the cookies. "Well, I can't rightly eat these all on my own. I've got a figure to eat after all. So, help a guy out?" With that, he took three cookies off the plate.
His gaze landed on Shacklebolt, considering her for a long moment. When he spoke, his voice was gentle. "Why don't you swing by the practice room tomorrow, and show me what you can do?" And he handed the first cookie to her, meeting her gaze with simple promise. They'd see, and then they could talk more.
The second cookie went to Brown, with a bit more reluctance. "Let me know if you need help with that article." He'd leave it vague, as to which one he was talking about.
Evie was almost certain that they could decide Professor Dakest wasn't as AMAZING that they thought he would be.
But then he handed her a cookie. More importantly, he handed her an invitation to show him what she could do. Evangeline's eyes lit up significantly because she was really quite good. Sure, she was a goofball at time and tended not to always take things seriously, but... she was still learning. That didn't mean anything. Silently, Evie nodded and accepted the cookie and invitation. "I'll come after lunch," she said, a bit less disappointed at this meeting.
Speaking of the meeting, this seemed like a good place to close. Evie stood back up and linked arms with Sophie, pulling her with her. "Thanks, professor." |
