[He's only here for the first day. Mifune is in a corner bed, sitting Indian-style on the bed with bandages all over him. The injuries are all negligible, but it's the toxin that got to him.]

[needs-no-wand.livejournal.com]

...oh, quit sulking about.

[Constance is lying in the bed next to his, one arm bent above her head, pillowing it, while the other holds a book up to her face. She doesn't look up even as she speaks.]

It wasn't so bad in the end.

[Says she who got half eaten along the way, but hey, someone's gotta stay positive. How did she end up being the positive one is a bit of a mystery to be honest.]

[ninetyninesouls]

I'm not sulking. [Hmph. He's a little dizzy from the poison (that was a lot of frogs, after all), so he moves to lean back on the wall.]

[needs-no-wand.livejournal.com]

Of course you're not.

[She believes you. Totally.]

[ninetyninesouls]

[...]

I'm surprised you're not insisting on leaving.

[needs-no-wand.livejournal.com]

Why would I? I am injured, and I have been told that there shall be no consequences to it, so as long as I provide my body sufficient time to heal.

[A bit of a pointed look.]

Patience, when it comes to heeling, is always well repaid.

[ninetyninesouls]

[Looks grumpy.]

Too crowded. And I have to find Angela.

[needs-no-wand.livejournal.com]

And such are the dangers of being approachable.

[She's got her glare to make people leave her alone, yes.]

Your partner?

[ninetyninesouls]

[He appreciates it. Really.]

At least you keep them out.


[Hm.] No. My ward.

[needs-no-wand.livejournal.com]

It's a professional secret. It helps me keep my girls in line.

[She makes a thoughtful sound and takes a moment to find the right words.]

I'm sure she'll be glad to see you're alright.

[ninetyninesouls]

Your students? [Interest.]


[Er.] Mm. [Maybe a little embarrassed.]

[needs-no-wand.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

[She let out a small sigh. She hadn't had enough time to sit down and properly miss the castle and its inhabitants. Though on the upside, there is no Mildred Hobble there, to cause a disaster and save everyone at the end of the day. Why, it's almost peaceful with her gone.]

They have enough people to coddle them, so I must provide the discipline they need to succeed.

[Another pause.]

Some of them... need more discipline than most.

[ninetyninesouls]

Discipline is necessary. [AGREE AGREE.] But also difficult.

[needs-no-wand.livejournal.com]

Which is why it is such a rewarding job.

[Not to mention the fact sometimes being mean is fun. Hush.]

[ninetyninesouls]

[He doesn't actually enjoy being mean. Mifune is very very uuuh tender inside. Deep inside. Yea.]

Only if it works. Does it?

[needs-no-wand.livejournal.com]

It's worth it. When it works, it's worth everything.

[She puts her book down for a moment.]

Because what you teach will stay with them for the rest of their lives, and they will be better off because of it.

[ninetyninesouls]

Don't they... dislike you for it?

[needs-no-wand.livejournal.com]

Most do. Particularly a habit I had that is no longer an option in this world.

[That's a very rare, fond smile, very sincere.]

But even then, some manage to figure out things on their own.

[ninetyninesouls]

That must be worth more than everything.

[Still, he can't really appreciate the thought of being hated by kids. Kiiids. Mifune tosses a piece of candy at her. Bro comfort! Sort of thing. Closes his eyes and leans back on the wall.]

[needs-no-wand.livejournal.com]

One needs to appreciate such things, if one chooses teaching as their path in life.

[The candy is caught with both hands, more on reflex than anything else. Constance arches an eyebrow at him, that he can't see, before she unwraps it. Eh, can't hurt, can it?]

[ninetyninesouls]

I... see. [He has much to learn.] It never gets tiring?

[The candy's extremely sweet, sorry. Angela wanted taffy.]

[needs-no-wand.livejournal.com]

[...she's going to be nibbling on this for a long, long time. No joke it's sweet.]

Of course it does.

[A light shrug.]

[ninetyninesouls]

[Heh.]

Then what do you do?

[needs-no-wand.livejournal.com]

You remember why you're doing this in the first place.

[Pause]

Or you find your personal Mildred Hobble and realize you cannot possibly unleash that upon the world.

[ninetyninesouls]

Hm. Easy enough.

What is a Mildred Hobble? [It sounds like a disease.]
