Professor Chaucer: Office Hours

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Chaucer will be in his office today for anyone with questions, complaints, or really good gossip. He wouldn't be averse to a cup of espresso, either.

I can read whatever you want me to, assuming it's not bound in skin and written in human bloood. Those kind of books are a definite no-no.

I'll read whatever you want me to, but I don't make any promises about understanding all of the words. *nod*

I know you probably have other candidates, though, so can I just say that I'm a personal friend of Arthur, this guy who may or may not have been King of England? I know him... not in the sick biblical way, but in the "he owes me big-time" sort of way.

[He'd stare, but really, the idea of books bound in skin and written in human blood is probably no more bizarre than the idea of zombies or gremlins, not in this town.]

You wouldn't have to understand all of the reading, necessarily. But...you'd be welcome to come to me to work through any difficulties.

You...know...King Arthur. That's...interesting. I'll keep it mind for when we read Le Morte d'Arthur in the poetry class. And right now? I have only one other candidate for the Lit class, and no one for the poetry class.

Absolutely. I'm all about the working together and solving of the difficulties, yeah. No problem.

Poetry? I, uhh... I can do poetry too, if you like. I know a couple of funny limericks. *scratches his chin, not sure what he's getting himself into... or why*

I'd be glad to help.

"Can I get back to you at the end of the week, then? I want to give the students one more opportunity to sign up, in case some of them missed it the last time. And then once I talk to anyone who does express interest, I can let you know what I've decided."

He grins. "I really appreciate your offer, Ash. I hope you'll let me know if there's ever anything I can do to help you."

Alright, I'll do that. My phone number's in the school directory, but you can catch me at the Falcon, too. *waves his fingers at Geoff*

See you later, Alligator. *turns to leave*

"Um, I'll see you later as well...Ash." Geoff makes a mental note to ask the next person who walks into his office whether accepting the man's offer would be a Good Thing or a Bad Thing.
