Best Defence 2: The Defencening [Thurs, Period 2]
Instead of Cara waiting for the class today, it was Surreal.
But since this crop of students most likely didn't know her, it wasn't Surreal in the leathers and knives that had defined her years at Fandom. This was Surreal, the most expensive courtesan of her Realm, in silks with gems and perfumes and a smile on her lips as she sat at the head of a table filled with fruit, cheese, bread, jam, smoked sausages, and cool summer sweet tea.
"Cara is on a forced rest," she said, clearly amused. "She'll try and kill me for telling you that, but the fact of it all is that sometimes, sugar, everyone needs a break. Self-care is your best defense against exhaustion; mental and physical."
"That includes taking the time to eat right, and since I'm supposed to be on vacation, I'm feeling lazy. We're just going to enjoy lunch, and if Cara doesn't like my teaching, she shouldn't leave me in charge." Surreal waved a hand, indicating that they should dig in, while she poured herself some tea.
She let them socialize and eat for about a half-hour, before she held up a hand to get their attention.
"Oh. And since every one of you who drank the tea or ate the cheese or jam is now 'poisoned,' your second lesson for today is never eat or drink anything you didn't make yourself." Surreal smiled with sharp teeth. "Especially from a stranger, sugars."
"Don't fret, it's just an herb that'll turn your lips blue shortly and will wash off just fine. There's a handout about what to do about poisonings in this world at the door. Basically? If you feel weird, call your healer or doctor or whatever you use, and get it out or off you as soon as possible. I also wrote up a list of things that work on my world if you don't have a healer handy, but it's what works for my world, kittens, and might not apply to you. When in doubt, call your healer."
"Now go ahead and take whatever you want back to your rooms," she said, making the 'poison' items vanish with a wave of her hand. "You want some cheese or jam to prank your roommate...come see me."
