Career Development, Wednesday, First Period

[talentforlying]

It had been a long week for some of the teachers. Yes, it was only Wednesday morning. That didn’t mean it hadn’t been a long week.

Or an amazing week that wasn't long enough, if you asked John. But, well, your mileage may vary.

"Props to those of you that showed up," John said, once it looked like everyone who was coming (Not Dirty) had arrived. "You get a movie. Learn how to hustle, and deal with coworkers."

“Keep your hands to yourselves during it,” Faye said with a smile and a wink. (It had been a wonderful week for Faye so far, thank you for asking.) “I know how difficult that’ll be, but it’s just an hour or so sitting in the dark.”

Honestly, Faye, way to put that idea in their heads if it hadn’t already been there.

Ok, so maybe it had only been a long week for Stark, who was giving Faye quite the side-eye right now. The look he was giving her started off as a side-eye anyway. “You don’t need to encourage them,” he muttered.

“They’re gonna do it anyway,” Faye decided with a tiny shrug. “Anyway, we have a movie for you, and if you just want to put your head down and sleep, that’s fine. I’m going to assume it’s because you were busy all last night.” So it was fine but it came with a side of Faye making presumptions, that’s all.

Stark sighed. “Just...enjoy the movie.” Stark was probably not going to enjoy it. Stark wasn’t enjoying anything so far this week. “Or the snacks. Both?” Maybe food could be a distraction for some of them.

It certainly was for Hannibal. He'd brought "Parisian" style popcorn, maple bacon popcorn, and buffalo popcorn, along with mini grilled cheese sandwiches, mango chicken puffs, toasted sambal cashews, spiced popcorn with pecans and raisins, apple chips with sage and maple vanilla yogurt, and parmesan shortbread cookies.

You deal with this your way, he'd deal with it his.

"Please," he told the students, "feel free to take some of this home with you. There is more than enough."

John was around! Occassionally tossing popcorn at Faye, because sometimes he was an immature child.

Which just meant she was picking up the pieces that hit her and throwing them back at him.

"Gonna pull my pigtails next?" she teased in a polite, we're-watching-a-movie whisper.

"Only if you ask nicely, space-girl." JOHN. NO. YOU ARE IN CLASS.

Faye glanced at the admittedly kind of interesting movie. "You have an office, right?"

They could not be in class. There were totally other, responsible adults to watch the children watch the movie, after all.

"Even better, I have an apartment, where no one bothers me with work-related questions," he pointed out. "May I interest a lady in lunch after this?"

Yes, it was only first period in the morning. He was trying to keep the innuendo classroom-appropriate.

And there could be lunch later.

Faye arched an eyebrow at him and made a big show of pretending to check the time since yes, lunch certainly would afford them some time before it, if that was the offer.

"Sure," Faye replied, flashing him a bright smile. "Lunch." In a few hours.
