SPOILER!!: he says it was entirely unintentional

…. If James had done something to win the first year over, he had no idea. But her enthusiasm only doubled. Of course offering his journals probably did him in, but they were here for people to read. IT would be a complete waste if they just sat and collected dust. Besides, he had already mentioned them to Miss Roadrunner when she came to visit.

Hadn’t he just said that she could? He gave her a small nod. She didn’t give him much time to say anything else though because there she went again with more of her enthusiasm. Eager Beaver. No other nickname felt more appropriate here. He watched her carefully as she practically bounced up and down with excitement. It was amusing.

Stepping out of his chair, the Professor scanned his shelf knowing exactly which one she ought to start with. He let his fingers brush over the binding of each one, until he found the one he was looking for. Of course it had been tucked in at the very end, naturally. Carefully he wiggled it out, and turned to face the girl once again. ”When my interest in creatures first peaked, I was a week into my training in Brunei,” he walked over and held out the book. ”It starts off with a few letters I meant to send home,” he tapped the cover. ”But my intentions with this journal changed.” From letters to notes and observations.

This one was the most beat up journal out of the bunch as it was the oldest and he wrote it with the least amount of experience. She’d have to be careful, he’d hold her accountable.

SPOILER!!: this dynamic is... interesting

James face remained neutral, though he was annoyed. What was this kid trying to get at here? Though, he didn’t much care whether a cat would like it in this office. ”Good thing I don’t have a cat,” he replied. Offense not taken. But still irked.

Again, the boy’s thoughts were right. James had been dumped in a warm weather location. For over four years. Brunei stayed hot, hot, hot ALL year round. It was exhausting, the hot weather. But James didn’t feel as if he owed an explanation. It was just cold in here because he liked it cold. And that was that.

”Now you know,” he’d use it if he wanted to. Sweet Circe, this kid was a piece of work.

So many questions. The next one did not disappoint. Now he had James’ attention. The CoMC Professor gave the lanky boy a look, ”Depends,” this was a test, wasn’t it? See if the new Professor knew what he was doing. He knew how these things went. ”What do you want to know?” Also… Why? Why was he asking about one of the most dangerous, dark creatures known to wizard kind?

Under that laconic exterior she was certain there was something soft. She'd gotten that badger in the pasture to trust her, and, honestly, Professor Draper didn't seem all that different. If the professor's question about her family's farm had made her face light up, his offer of journals might as well have shone a lighthouse in her emerald eyes. "You'd let me... You mean I could... Borrow your journals?!" Easy there, calm down, she admonished herself with limited success. "I've already ready anything I could get my hands on with ma's help, but that's nothing like as good as reading someone's actual notes! I promise I'll return them in good condition." It was several moments before she realised she'd used the plural term. "I mean, I don't want to borrow them all at once. Just one at a time. And when I've copied one, I'll bring it back and get another." The ginger girl was positively beaming at the professor by this point. "I'll start with whatever you think is best." ….

What did surprise him was that he actually took the time to look at a class roster and match names with faces. Good Job Professor. He did not think new Professors had it in them to remember names. He deserved a cookie as well. "You don't say, Professor. Though i guess a cat would probably not like it in this office. No offense" A cat would not like just sitting in the cold like this man appeared to like doing. Though maybe he got dumped in a warm weather location and now he can only stand the cold. Dante should actually spread that rumor. Thanks Professor he knew he was observant. It was what he did. And yeah sure, IF he wanted to use it. But it looked like it had not been used sine he got here. "No, that's reasonable. I was just wondering why have one if you're not going to use it" Dante replied shrugging. If he was going going to use it then Dante would stop caring about it. "What do you know about Lethifolds?" Come on Animal Man. Show me your animal knowledge.
