Care for Magical Creatures; Friday, Period 2 [ 01/30 ].

"Good morning, students!" As usual, they were meeting in the classroom, with all the comfortable pillows that would do much better than desks and Minsc was greeting them all jovially with Boo close at hand. "Welcome back to class! Remember how last class we discussed spotting out a regular old animal from a person transformed into an animal? If not, well, I sure hope that was quite a blow causing you to forget it! Today, we are going to talk about making a very important checklist to see if our friends are transformed! For example:

"If I were to make a checklist for whether or not a human is actually Boo, it might include things like: Is he eating everything in sight? Is he twitching his nose as if he would usually have whiskers? Does he have a tendency to burrow in crinkly things?"

"And, also for example, if Boo were to make a list for me," he chuckled, "which is a very big if since Boo cannot write or speak languages our petty brain can comprehend, he would include: Are there any noticeable purple markings by his eyes? Telltale scars? What happens when I put him by this gnoll, which is dirty and awful and must be immediately vanquished? Things like that!"

"I'd like you each to get together with someone else in class and discuss the sorts of things they someone would put on a list about you! There is an uneven number, so groups of two or three are both okay! And your HOMEWORK will include making lists for your friends! You can never be too prepared! Awareness is key! And then, when your friends are turned into animals, you will know it is them and not accidentally fry up that rabbit for dinner or slay that wee dragon thinking yourself in harm's way!"

Merlin sighed, looking around for a partner. Please not Arthur, please not Arthur, please not Arthur...

bitchprince: (and where did you come up with that one?)

"Merlin," Arthur greeted, as if he could hear the boy's mental summons.

It was possible that he could.

He was looking a tad smug.

Arthur was still a prat. He didn't feel he was a prat, and even if he was, he wasn't about to change it just because people insisted on it.

So he lounged. Available, sort of.

Because he was an evil man. "Yes, Arthur?" But Merlin held out hope!

"Since you appear to have recovered from your latest bout of causing yourself great embarrassment," because he couldn't not rub that in, "Let's get started on actual work."

Reno was comfortable and thoughtful. And also excited and easily distracted.

Something about checklists? Cool, cool.

"It wouldn't have been nearly as bad if you hadn't laughed for five minutes," Merlin replied.

"Oh, Merlin," Arthur replied, "I do believe it would be. Your skill at making a fool out of yourself is unsurpassed."

Merlin rolled his eyes and looked at his paper to being this bloody list. "Shouldn't we be working?"

He even gave his best Gaius look.

"I'm glad you remembered," Arthur said, dryly. "So. A list of ways to recognize you. Number one: 'The creature looks bloody stupid.'"

Merlin looked up from the paper, trying not to sigh too much there. "Your confidence in me is inspiring, my lord."

Arthur peered over at his paper. "'Looks ridiculous in chain mail'," he continued.

"Makes odd faces when frightened," Merlin replied, writing just that down.

"I do not get frightened," Arthur protested.

"Is very defensive."

Merlin was on a roll!

"I don't," Arthur said, with a roll. Of his eyes. "You won't spread lies. Hm... 'Cannot hunt himself a meal to save his life'."
