Huh, indeed. "Maybe you should bring TWO pillows to my class." Probably.
Anywho, questions to answers, awkwardness to fulfill. Lainey lowered her hand and clasped it around a handful of skirt and robes. "No... I just returned. Took a few years off. Had some things to do." Like get hitched, produce a kid. Things. "But then that Headmaster fellow, I reckon he heard of my skills. Or he was desperate for a teacher. Definitely one of those, cause he asked me back." Lainey shrugged her shoulder jerkily and sidled up to the wall to lean on it.
Cool. She'd just ooze cool from her spot on the wall.

Just sayin. That class sounded like it was designated nap time.
He shrugged off her weirdness and yipping and started gathering up his books again. Didn't want to hang around the staff too much now, naw befriending teachers was for those weird rule-abiding students and prefects. Fletcher did like the little dog though, and found it amusing that he was so interested in the tapestry.
"I wonder if there's something behind there," the boy mused aloud, gesturing toward the wall decoration the dog was still sniffing. "It seems mighty interesting to Prince Charming...."
Lexi narrowed her eyes in confusion and turned towards Professor Lainey. What did Fletcher need
pillows for anyway? She thought about asking but could never really come up with a good way to do so. She would either A, come out looking like an idiot, or B, offend the professor. Either option didn't sound too inviting, so Lexi just shrugged the matter off.
Hmm...was it polite, though, to ask exactly
what Lainey had been up to during her off-time? Maybe sticking to something
safe would be better, though.
"Ahh, I guess you did need a little time off after being in the castle for so many years," she said, realizing only a second later that she may as well have just called Lainey a
Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Well, I mean...counting your student years and all...not that you've been teaching for years and years..." Good one, Lexi. Way to
possibly offend someone after all...
...but, Lexi was saved by
Fletcher, even if it was an
unintentional save. Or, at least, she hoped she was saved by the change of topic.
"Yes, Mr. Fletcher, I wonder if there is something behind that tapestry? I wasn't exactly here when it was first hung. Do you know, Professor Lainey?" she asked, turning back to the History of Magic professor. She
did teach History, after all.
