Creature Languages, 1/23

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream waits until most of the class has gathered and a small purple dragon has joined him before addressing the class. A plate of chocolate chip cookies sits on his desk; there are enough for students as well as his guest.

"Hello.

As we discussed last week, you will spend today talking with the dragon Lockheed. I trust you have all prepared questions for him in his native tongue.

I will be in my office after class for any questions."

Dream then leans back against his desk, arms crossed, and waits for Lockheed to introduce himself. He can translate if needed.

The professor is in.

"Hi, Professor Dream. I'm so sorry I missed class last week my mun is a deadbeat who is easily distracted by shiny objects."

"Is there anything I can do to make up the work I missed? I don't have a note to be excused as I had no good reason but I didn't want to miss any work. I did my vocabulary reading, anyway."

"Ah, yes. This was your second absence, was it not?" Dream fixes Lisa with a stare for a moment before going back to his records. "In class on Thursday, I had the students practice their Dragon to prepare for Lockheed's visit. It seems as though your vocabulary review enabled you to keep up, which is fortunate for you. That will not always be the case."

"I will have to turn your absence in to the office as unexcused. I trust you understand."

"Of course," Lisa replies quickly, happy she didn't miss any work, and still a little freaked by Dream's stare.

"It won't happen again. Thank you, sir."

Dream nods. "I appreciate that you stopped in. I will see you in class on Thursday, Miss Cuddy."

Pippi hovers near the door to Dream's office but not in front of it, trying to make up her mind.

If she is not noticed she will eventually wander off without going in.

Dream notices her and stands in greeting. "Are you feeling quite well now, Miss Longstocking?"

"Hello Professor Dream... I am. Thanks to a bunch of people I'll never be able to thank properly. Which includes you... I don't think there's enough pepparkakor in the world go give out that would sufficiently express how I feel. We were all a bit sketchy on the details at first for some reason but." Her lip quivers a bit.

"I'm pretty sure you helped a bunch of people into a position were they were able to save my life."

She attempted to give him a hug suddenly and with great gusto.

Surprised, Dream lets the girl hug him. Eventually, he even reaches down and awkwardly hugs back. Well, he pats her back, anyhow, but that's almost a hug.

"I did my job. Mr. Sandburg ought to improve his meditation," he says. "And the one you call Sharky ought not to bother you again, by the way."

Pippi, still holding onto Dream, looks up.

"You do it very well. Yes, poor Blair says he's rather off on meditation for a little while, and I have to get a note from the clinic before he'll go back to teaching me." she finally lets go and starts fiddling with her backpack.

"I rather had a feeling that Sharky was gone for good. I think he may have been keeping tabs on me or something some how because... I feel, well. I didn't notice it while it was there but it's gone now..."

She produced and held out to Dream, a round silver tin of cookies (http://static.flickr.com/12/89380835_44025c4faf.jpg?v=0).

"These are for you. Thank you."

Dream smiles when he sees the cookies. He is rather partial to heart-shapes.

"You are welcome. Take care, Miss Longstocking."
