Thaumaturgy 101 - Thursday - First Period - 1/08

She was more than glad to see, as her students streamed in, more than a couple familiar faces and quite a few new ones. After the heavy lecture of the last class, she was rather excited for this one. Oh the plans that she had...

"Well," she said as she stepped away from her desk, her blue corduroy walking dress swishing ever so faintly in the morning sun, "you've come to this class, I should like to hope, to learn the very basics of thaumaturgy. Were you to be interested in pistolry, this would be comparable to learning to build the contraption. Should you have been interested in dance, this is where you would learn the steps.

"Thaumaturgy is a complex art, to be sure, with many schools and branches and ideologies mixed into it but there is, at it's heart, a logic and a methodology, else it should be very hard to teach, don't you think?"

She didn't wait for an answer, but went on.

"I myself hold a doctorate in the subject, but my area of expertise is in forensic sorcery. My schooling was done with many of the Teutonic masters and so I admit that there might be something of a slant; I shall do my best to correct this should it become anything like a problem. For today, however, we shall of course be doing introductions and I will be handing out the syllabus and a small survey."

[ocd is a go!]

But Savannah is like a little sister. And she's my charge. So I'm honor bound to do this.

If you hurt her, I will have to kill you.

It was his turn to give Chris a bitch please look.

If I was ever to hurt Savannah, I would hope you would. But that isn't ever going to happen.

Okay, then, as long as that's clear.

Chris paused and threw a smirk at Johnny before writing the next part.

But, dude, so help me if Summer starts getting ideas because of this...

It is.

Johnny snorted a chuckle at the rest.

Afraid she might?

I hope not. Cause I love her, but I'm not as crazy as you.

I doubt Savannah would like hearing you think I'm crazy.

Savannah loves me and would understand.

Johnny looked at Chris like he was crazy.

Not about something like this. Besides, I know what I want.

I'm glad you know what you want. I'm pretty sure I want to be with Summer forever, but I'm not ready to make that kind of commitment just yet.

Ain't nothing wrong with that. Just doesn't mean I'm crazy.

He was probably only a little crazy.

You've been crazy since the day I met you and it had nothing to do with Savannah.

Chris was glad they were in class so Johnny couldn't fireball him for that.

He wouldn't have. As it was he barely contained his laughter.

Yeah, given that it hasn't deterred you, I'd say you were down with my crazy. What do you say we hang out next week? Go bowling or something?

That sounds good. We haven't had guy time in a long time.

That sounded way less gay in his head.

But more gay on paper.

Johnny smirked.

Good. I work Wednesdays, so they're out.

That'll work.
