Office Hours 3: Office Hourser

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Snow and whoever else shows up.

Location: Second floor, the training classrooms

Rating: PG

Open/Closed/Finished: Open

Summary: Once again, Snow is holding office hours!



Didn't matter if you were in his classes or not, really. Snow had claimed a classroom during free hours in the evening, and casually put around word that he was free to talk about any concerns, questions, problems, or general comments the students might have. His class, any class, whatever.

Of course, fellow SeeDs and Instructors could drop by too.

Unusually, this time around, Snow's actually at a desk, writing something. The world might possibly be coming to an end.

Comments

I hope this isn't too late ;w;

Terezi casually glanced up at Snow's door, the wafting smell of mangrit and testosterone practically exploding the air full of manergy. She was pretty sure this was the place the other students had pointed her to, but she wanted to make sure and gave Snow's nameplate a lick for good measure. The apple cinnamon left a pleasant taste in her mouth and she gave it a few more licks before rapping on the door with her cane.

"Hey Mr. Wintry Condensation! Are you in?" Terezi chuckled.

I'm not dead, so it isn't by definition.

"It'd be kinda silly to tell everyone I'd be here, then never show," he called back. "Or a heck of a prank, but people probably wouldn't take it in the playful spirit. C'mon in!"

"A bit of a stupid prank if you ask me, if that's what your species considers japery. " Terezi grinned. She shuffled her way to the big guy at his desk, a wide, toothy grin on her face.

"I think it'd be pretty stupid too, but it might be worth a couple cheap laughs before someone threw things at me."

Given what people around here could throw, though, not provoking them seemed wise!

"You're looking pretty pleased with life right now. What's up?"

[offwth31rh34ds.livejournal.com]

Terezi leaned against her white cane. "Yeah, I'm here to talk about that human female that I outbid you on that slave auction a few weeks ago. Do you remember?"

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

"Serah?" He chuckled, not having really minded being outbid at all on that. "It wasn't a slave auction, though. Don't know where you got that idea..."

[offwth31rh34ds.livejournal.com]

"Meh, dating, slavery, are we really going to get hung up on semantics?" The troll shrugged. "The point is I won. But there's a catch there. I don't think she's really all that interested in being a playdate for the day."

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

"Maybe a little. Let me guess, you're short on money and looking for a way out."

Snow folded his arms on the desk, looking just a bit smug. He wasn't as big a fool as people thought, after all. She'd only been bidding him up to see how much he'd pay, he'd been fairly certain of that during the whole auction.

"Short on money? Please. I have that starter money that they gave me for starting! I can definitely pay it! What kind of troll do you take me for?!" Okay, that was part of the reason. She definitely didn't like her budget cut so thin as soon as she got there, this was true.

But there was more to this. "I just wanted to give you the opportunity to rescue her away just like in one of your fairy tales! Wasn't there one about a troll taking away a pretty young lady to the top of a tower and she grew her hair out and the prince with the hair fetish climbed up it to rescue her? Well, now here's your chance, hero! And technically it's a contract I never really wanted in the first place."

And something else, really deep down, didn't want to have to be forceful to a girl just because she was trying to have some fun. But he didn't need to know that.

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Snow grinned broadly. "Trust me, our relationship's already had a rescue or three to cement it. I'm not worried about that. But it would be a shame for you to spend as much of your sponsorship funds on a date with a girl who's already engaged."

Just a little light torment is all he'd ask. Snow was too good-natured to make her go through withit.
