Applied Science, Monday, 12/07

A lot of basic lab supplies were set out in the science classroom today, and a wide variety of simple handouts sat in stacks around the classroom.

"Free lab today," Tyler announced. "You can play with the supplies, and we have some pages of actual experiments to do. Or call it study hall. Don't make soap, don't blow anything up, don't do anything to the elves" -- he never let his students have any fun -- "and if you say one word about marriage to me that is a detention and don't test me on that."

He'd come to on a raft in the middle of the harbor and had needed to paddle frantically just to get back to the mainland. He had a right to be cranky.

If you so much as hum Bette Midler at him, that's a detention.

Ghanima was going to lurk in his doorway before going to her own class, waiting for the students to trickle out before she approached him. "We're cranky this morning. Do we need pizza, beer, or to hit the mats?"

He couldn't give her detention, although he was welcome to try.

"Yes," Tyler said without blinking. "I was going to go for a run as soon as I finish up here. Wanna come along?"

He was afraid if he punched anybody, he wouldn't stop.

"I have to teach the children about the wonders of the historical Saint Nicholas first, and the cultural and socio-religious conglomerate known as Christmas," she replied. "But give me an hour and I'll be happy to join you, or you can join us in the Danger Shop."

"I'll give you time to get your Saint Nick on. I have to put the junk away, anyhow," Tyler said, glancing around the lab.

Stupid lab supplies.

"Tell me you embarrassed yourself too?"

Ghanima snorted. "Tyler, you didn't embarrass yourself. No more than anyone else did this weekend."

"I was relatively normal. I was ~~handwavily because my player wrote out the post and forgot to put it up~~ cured of my addiction and there were no more voices in my head, but that's not me anymore than this weekend was actually you."

Tyler smiled at that, albeit grimly. "Only you could have being normal be the weirdest thing that could happen to you," he teased. "I dunno. I didn't even know I knew the words to that song."

"Well, can you sing it now? I'd love to hear an encore," she asked, completely innocently.

Tyler folded his arms and pouted at her. "No."

Ghanima just laughed. "See? I rest my case," she teased. "Clean up the toys, Tyler, and I'll see you in an hour."

Tyler laughed back, and if it wasn't entirely genuine, it wasn't Ghanima's fault. She was trying. He was just ...

Maybe he should have stayed on the boat.

"Yes ma'am. See you soon."
