Love is a funny thing

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

If you make a love potion at least research the potion properly first - the next student I have come in with boils growing on their backside thanks to one gone wrong will be given to Professor Rhydderch for extra Potions lessons. If I catch any students brewing love potions on-campus, the same will still happen.

And then I will send you to Professor Donoghue for sex education.

We don't want that now, do we?

Do you also happen to recall what we discussed about being more subtle over the journals, mister Makara?

I noticed, and it was good of you. However, the reason he saw it in the first place is because you announced it where it could be seen. Not that there's anything WRONG with it, of course. But you have to be careful with the wording of these things.

And I imagine he'll ask me about it later, anyway.

It's kind of dirty to talk about getting it on with anyone. It's all about the use of language, Makara. You need only have said that I've given you lessons before but not specify any further.

Yes, he is, but you shouldn't talk about professors that way. Particularly ones I consider to be close to me, but there's really no reason to show my bias.

Private

[plushaeusrumpified]

You know, by agreeing with him, you're kinda undermining my authority and making it seem alright for him to sass me in the future. Not to mention hurting my goddamn feelings.

I ain't a dick. I'm fuckin' nice.

Private

[wwistful]

Not at all, I said just then that he shouldn't talk to you like that. Besides! You were being invasive, darling. There's no need to be hurt over a little joking.

[Said the pot to the kettle.]

Private

[plushaeusrumpified]

Yeah, you said that but you also agreed with him. I don't think that's really a joke. I think your sense of humor needs to be checked if you really think it's much of a joke.

And I wasn't being invasive, either. What would you do if somebody talked about sex in relation to me? A student, to boot. You'd be suspicious, too.

Private

[wwistful]

It's not like you've never been a bit of a bastard before, my love. Besides, I've told him the error of his ways and his hesitance to believe it makes me wonder if maybe you've got some fixing to do.

I would ask you in private instead of demanding it from the student.

Private

[plushaeusrumpified]

Well yeah, I can be a bastard. I never denied that. And yeah, I guess I do have some fixing to do. Goddamn, this teaching shit is difficult sometimes. I don't even know what the fuck I did to piss him off this hard. I mean, so I stole his makeup once. Big deal? It's fuckin' clown makeup, how hard is that to replace, anyway?

Private

[wwistful]

As far as I can tell it's that attitude that got you into his bad books in the first place. Clearly the paint is important to him if he wears it every day? Also he mentioned it being given to him from someone special.

Private

[plushaeusrumpified]

Whoa, hold up. It isn't like he ever told me any of this stuff in the first place! How was I supposed to know how important it was to him? He never said it was from someone important. If I'd known, I probably wouldn't have been so flippant about it. I wouldn't be now, I know that fucking much.

Back then, who's to say. I mean, I was a jackass back then. But the point is NOW I care. Or rather, I'm just tired of him being a little shit about it. I wanna fix this. How the hell do I fix it?

Private

[wwistful]

You could have asked in a non condescending manner, Dirk. One would have to wonder why a teenage boy could put up such a fuss over make up, there's an obvious connection there.

You apologise and you make sure to be sincere about it, without calling him a little shit, perhaps. I can oversee it if it helps.

Private

[plushaeusrumpified]

I think it'd be a pretty good idea if you did oversee it, yeah. Then you can stop me from screwing up, because apparently that's all I god damn do when it comes to this kid. But yeah, oversee it, I'll apologize.

Private

[wwistful]

Good, I'm glad. We'll talk it over later. In the meantime, try to be patient with him, will you?

Private

[plushaeusrumpified]

Yeah, yeah, I will. I'll be the most patient fucker you ever saw.

TTYL.

Private

[wwistful]

Alright, I trust you.

I assume that means goodbye. In which case, I'll suppose I'll talk to you la



Oh.

Private

[plushaeusrumpified]

Good job, babe.

[wwistful]

As glad as I am to hear that, I will have to correct you there. He is very nice and we are rather close.


And you really must find a better descriptive word. Mother...whatever is highly unflattering.

[mo_cara]

yOu'Re REALLY ClOsE?

[Oh, man, Murdoc, you just hurt Gamzee's heart something fierce.]

[wwistful]

I would say so, yes. Does it bother you?

Are you sure you don't want to pop into my office, Makara. You seem awfully put out this evening.

[wwistful]

On the contrary, I'm quite capable of believing he's insulted or offended you. He's done so on many occasions, but he's certainly improved his behaviour with a little help.

I think it would be good if we could work this out.
