I.

Am able to release them to take notes.

[Deep breaths, Gray.]

[extractionfiend]

[ But not too deep. Can't let those fiendish pheromones get to you. ]

Show me.

[earlgreyme]

[He slowly uncurls his hands from the desk, and places them flat on it.

He's taking slow, deep breaths. Everything is fine.]

S-see.

[extractionfiend]

[ She smirks. ]

I meant your notes.

[earlgreyme]

...Oh.

[He opens his notebook.

...And for what it's worth, his notes are pretty good. There are gaps though. That probably line up with exactly when, and a few minutes after, every time she drapes her hand on him or touches him in any way during class.]

[extractionfiend]

[ Like how she's doing right now when she slides behind him and starts reading over his shoulder. Right? Hands on his shoulders and everything. ]

Hmmn... So it seems that you do take notes. Just... when I'm not looking?

[earlgreyme]

It.

Is a system that works.

My marks are very high.

[Something else is very high, too.]

[extractionfiend]

I'll bet that's not the only thing.

[earlgreyme]

NOTHINGELSEISUP.

[extractionfiend]

Hmph.

Show me.

[ It's the same tone as before. Just... lower. ]

[earlgreyme]

[He squeaks

Stay calm stay calm don't let i-DAMMIT.]

Nevermind.

[extractionfiend]

[ She takes her hands off his shoulders and backs up. He might be able to hear her arms cross, but he can definitely feel her gaze bore into the back of his head. ]

I wasn't asking. I was telling.

[earlgreyme]

[He's heard that tone too many times to argue, even if the person normally using it isn't exactly the same.

She can make him exit the desk and show his fully-at-attention shame tenting down there, but she can't make him not cover his face exactly like his mother.]

[extractionfiend]

[ She knows exactly how strict a mentor she can be, but damn. Even she's surprised by his obedience. 'Well done, Lily.' ]

Huh. And here I thought it was your grip that did in all those desks.

[earlgreyme]

[His hands drop just so he can screech.]

I-it was!

[extractionfiend]

I don't know... [ She starts as she walks back in front of the desk.. ] They were always split right down the middle.

[ And then... the dramatic sigh. ] Well. This is certainly awkward, isn't it? I wonder... what should we do?

[earlgreyme]

I have a hand on each side! [Squeak.]

You could let me scurry off in shame and we could both pretend this never happened. [He's hopeful.]

[extractionfiend]

I don't think that's really a long term solution, do you?

[earlgreyme]

I don't have to take your class every year!

[LET HIM FLEE THIS.]

[extractionfiend]

Yes, I'm well aware I lack that particular power anymore. [ sigh ]

But you do have to make it through this year. Preferably with as little collateral damage as possible.

[earlgreyme]

I won't break anymore desks!

There isn't anything to do anyway!

[extractionfiend]

[ ... ] You're joking, right?

[earlgreyme]

There isn't anything we SHOULD do.

[extractionfiend]

[ She chuckles. ] And now you understand the importance of explicit communication.

Unfortunately, if you think I'm going to let you run away with your [ ahem ] tail tucked between your legs then you're going to wind up being quite disappointed. Or not...

Push your seat back and sit down.

[earlgreyme]

[Don't listen.

Just cause she looks and sounds like.. you don't have to listen..

He's sitting down and listening.]
