The Magic of Plants, Wednesday, Per 3

Karla might live in Glacia, but she still kept tabs on Earth. So she was more than a little aggravated with politics when she arrived in Fandom for class today. They were playing dangerous games and they weren't even playing them well and that just offended Karla right down to her bones. She was half-tempted to March to DC after class was over and show them what a real ruler looked like.

"So, everything is kind of terrible today," Karla declared. "And while it was tempting to show you all how to make alcohol out of plants, I'm supposed to be some kind of role model or something. So instead, we're going to watch a very serious movie about how useful plants can be and why you should take care of them."

While snacking on roasted piñas, or agave hearts, that just happened to come with an explanation of how to make mezcal, on the off-chance that was helpful to anybody.

Today's class was... unexpected. Not that it was Lucille's place to judge the teacher, but she could do it as silently as possible. She always had a feeling that Karla noticed such things.

"Something to say, darling?" Karla asked, not even looking at Lucille and somehow noticing the judging anyway.

This was one of the negative aspects of working for Karla.

"Oh, no. Just lost in thoughts." Lucille assured her. Which was true. She didn't actually want to say anything.

Well, there had to be one.

"About the movie?" she asked, not even bothering to hide her amusement. "I find it to be oddly thought-provoking as well, even in its childishness."

"I find I still have to get used to movies." That wasn't entirely untrue. So far she had disliked most movies.

"Is there something about them that still discomfits you?" Karla asked, pouring Lucille a cup of tea and floating it over to her TA while she fixed a cup for herself.

"I am more used to reading a story and letting my imagination create the images," Lucille replied, avoiding the subject of silliness or pointless stories.

"Thank you." She took the cup out of the air, worried that she would fumble.

The cup remained steady in the air until Lucille had grasped it and then the Craft holding it up vanished, leaving her supporting it.

"What kind of stories do you like?" she asked, taking a sip of her own tea.

"I prefer them to be passionate," Lucille said, taking a small sip. "When people dare to express emotions that others may fear."

"Dark and thrilling, though not necessarily horror?" Karla asked. "Books that plumb the darker sides of one's own nature and examines them unflinchingly?"

Now Lucille almost smiled. "Yes. I hear you know these kinds of novels too."

"Perks of being a Black Widow," Karla said. "Digging into the darker areas of people's psyches is actually considered required reading."

Perhaps if Lucille had the option of becoming a Black Widow she would be able to make use of her interests in a constructive way.

"Required reading?" Now she smiled.

Orrrr maybe not. Terreille was filled with witches who used their Black Widow training in less-than-constructive ways.

"Black Widows are mind-Healers," Karla explained. "Thus, we need to know all the ways a mind can go wrong to learn how to fix it."
