Study Hall, Monday [1/04]

[takesaftermom.livejournal.com]

Summer opened up study hall, taking time to set out an assortment of pastries. There was also coffee, tea and various juices to go along with the snacks.

She helped herself to a large cup of coffee before settling in with her laptop. She also had a book with her, for variety. And if anyone needed help with anything, they were free to interrupt.

[Wait for the OCD is up!]

"Or, I'm saying females are too sensible to need such protections," she sassed, because she was quickly losing her patience. "Firstof all, Arcerian cats areintelligent enough to discriminate, even the ones that aren't kindred. Second, if I did send any females out to areas where those things are likely, she would be escorted by males, either of her own choosing or of my Court. Third,--" and now Karla was really warming up to her subject, "--males get Rings of Honor because they are needed for the formation of my Court. Even had I a hundred females ready to sign a contract with me, I would have no Court. And fifth, where the Hell are you getting any idea of the degree of levelheadedness of Kaeleeran females, save your own distaste for a culture not like your own?"

"From the fact you're doing everything except making a reasonable case for your ways," Jack informed her, arms folded. His defenses were up, and, while he'd no doubt regret what he was saying in a moment, he was too impatient to resist saying something cutting. "And, you know, you're a funny one. I'm perfectly open to new cultures. You should study some. They're almost all bound to be better than your own."

This was not going to turn into a brawl in study hall. "How right you must be," Karla said, tears springing up that she refused to acknowledged. She vanished her supplies and stood up. "I could always look to yours where they treat their females like chattel and sell their children into indentured slavery. My, how much better that must be. At least in my world, that's an aberration."

She spun on her heel. "Enjoy the rest of your afternoon, you narrow-minded, judgmental--" she bit off the rest of what she was going to say in favor of just leaving.

"I'd take my slavery over your courts any day of any week," he called after her. He'd never hidden who he was, but it was still unpleasant to have it thrown at him during an argument.

He sat back down at his computer station, Russian language CD still open on the screen. It took several moments for his hands to stop shaking.
