[ What can she say? She's really good at her job. Both of her are. ]
Good boy. Now... [ She's going to squeeze into that space in between him and the desk, sit herself down, and crosses her legs. ] If you'll put your hands behind you, I can begin.
[ Yes, that's good. Just let her do what she wants. Which for now is just running her toe along the length of it and feeling her heart warm at the sudden break in his voice. Or, as she's thinking of it: 'Ah. Sweet nostalgia.' ]
You're not wrong. But you won't. I've yet to properly dismiss you, after all. And I won't do that... [ She releases it, puts her whole foot along it, and puts pressure on it. ] ... until I'm... satisfied... with your answer.
Your mother. [ She pulls a strand of hair behind her ear as she applies pressure again. ] I called her as much before, being well aware of your... unique circumstances.
Though I have to say, I didn't think she was that terrifying a creature... [ a chuckle ] Or perhaps not so terrifying, depending on your nature.

[ Oh, no. Why is she casually removing one of her shoes? ]

He has a good idea why, and he doesn't like it.
I mean, he does, but he doesn't WANT to.]
I-I see no reason to be difficult.

That.
Is irrelevant.

[ Yes, bring THEM up while trailing your foot in. Great idea, Lily. Er. Kuga. ]

There are a lot of things I want, that I don't partake in!
[Like fried chicken.
Or fun dog things.
Or fun cat things.]

I just.
Haven't found any fellow students that catch my attention.
[His voice is cracking.]
no subject
A teacher, though, that's another story.
no subject
[Calm, Calm, Calm
Well, other than that one part, which totally isn't. Calm at all.]
no subject
[ Let's see how calm he can keep when he finds out 'mom' can apparently spread her toes fairly far apart. ]
But what I'm not hearing is any form of denial. Or refusal. Why is that, Ikuhara?
no subject
I...am just...well... [Voice cracking.]
I should. Go.

My. [...Don't call her mother to anyone else, don't do that, that's not good.]
Miss Sakuma.

no subject
I am just inclined to listen, when she speaks, and your [Ahh, no, not pressure!] t-tone and.. candor are.. so similar...
no subject
So do you get this way when you're with her, too?
no subject
You are like my mother but.
Not my mother. So it is different. [And worse.]
