Charming Your Way Into and Out of Things, Monday, Period 2

[cannotdenyher.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop it was again this week. When the students came in, they found themselves in what looked like a waiting room. There were comfortable chairs for them, and a door on the other side of the room. The Spirit was standing next to it, greeting them with a nod and a tip of his hat.

"Today you're doing a practical exercisein charming your way out of a situation. One at a time, right through this door here. Don't be scared, it's nothing too hard. Afterwards, we'll talk about how it went, and what you should perhaps take away from the experience." He nodded at a student at random. "You go first."

As soon as Theo realized what he'd done, he felt awful. And when he saw the elderly lady coming towards him, he started apologizing immediately.

"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, I'll replace it," he said immediately. The old lady started lecturing him about being more careful and Theo let her lay into him. He was really bad at being charming.

And then Dev seemed to kick him or kick in or something and he snapped out of it. Dev hadn't manifested but the situation was enough to get him to come out a little stronger than usual.

"Look, it's just a vase," Theo said easily. "You've got so many other nice things in this house. The vase, no one's going to notice that it's gone when you're here and being so beautiful."

Ange was scowling and screeching at Dev in his head but Theo couldn't stop himself. The old lady though? She was appeased.
