If Minsc was the type to notice coincidence, he would most likely find this very funny indeed. But, that morning, when he expected to wake up and go to class to teach about unintentional transformations into animals, he found himself...

...unintentionally transformed.

He'd probably laugh about this a lot come Monday.

As it was, though, the class would find themselves gathering in the classroom, Minsc already there, as a giant black bear. Of course, the purple tattoo on his head was still somehow there, and Boo was nestled quietly between his ears, so, if the students didn't recognize that it was him, he was very disappointed in them and would be convinced that they must have all had one too many hits on the head (that said a lot, from a man like Minsc) and were all terribly stupid.

On the board, Minsc had still trying to scribble something with chalk, using his paws, and got about halfway through something that looked vaguely like "Unintentio--" but gave up.

He roared at them a little, hitting his paw a few times on a space at the desk in the front of the room. Paw, paw, paw. This is where you papers I assigned last week go. And then he stalked over to the board, going up on his hindlegs, and started pawing the board too. Unintentio--. Unintentional transformations. It was on the syllabus. It was happening to their teacher right now. Discuss.

And then Minsc settled down, blinking his bear eyes at his class and waiting.

Who very much is a bear, and will probably not be a very good conversationalist at the moment.

Arthur was going to declare himself mad for even thinking of dealing with this, but his teacher was currently a bear, and he wasn't, in fact, certain exactly how one went about dealing with this.

"If there's any help you need," he started, then shook his head, and left the sentence with the firm and secure sense of an ending period rather than a comma.

Minsc's big bear eyes blinked a moment at Sir Arthur; his head tilted, slightly, not enough to disturb Boo sitting on top of it. Minsc was considered the option, but was thinking there wasn't much in the way of classwork he could think to have his TA do to help.

However...

With a little bear grunt, Minsc shifted, gesturing with his paw toward a really terrible, hard to reach spot on his back that he just could not reach and that Boo was not being very nice about going back there and scratching it for him.

There was a short moment of silence as Arthur merely pursed his lips. Chivalry and common sense warred in his mind about the matter until one came out victorious.

"You are not," he said at last, "Mentioning this to anyone," and reached over to scratch it.

He wasn't completely sure how he'd even understood what Minsc had been on about. It was entirely possible he was just touching a live bear that was flailing a bit.

Still, he supposed it beat a gryphon.

He was a bear! Who would he tell?

Minsc's furry bear shoulders relaxed gratefully, letting out happy little bear grunts as the itch was relieved.

He certainly hoped Boo was learning a lesson from this nice young man's chivalry.

Since the bear seemed to be satisfied, Arthur dropped his hand, reminded himself that he was Arthur Pendragon and he had practically invented the stiff upper lip, and, at last, nodded.

It seemed like the appropriate response. "Good luck, then," he offered.

There would have been another moment of consideration had Arthur allowed himself to dwell on the magic at work here and how it was clearly a dangerous thing, but in the interest of maintaining said stiff upper lip, he merely turned away.

He may have muttered "bugger," under his breath, though.
