[He snatches at Spirit's tie, hoping to keep him in one place. Though, really, with that bright red hair, it's not like Stein's too worried about losing sight of him, mediocre eyesight or no.]

You for one seem perfectly healthy.

[daddydeathscythe]

[Spirit freezes momentarily, grimacing as Stein grabs at tie.]

Of course I seem healthy! The indescribable internal mutilations and the dire emotional trauma you caused unless is practically invisible to the untrained eye!

[With that, he jerks away, scrambling backwards and flailing wildly in a state of near panic.]

[aboutwhynot]

[Stein doesn't try to go after him this time. He knows he's really not helping the situation by making Spirit go into more of a panic.]

Spirit, seriously, calm down. If you have a full-fledged panic attack just think of how embarrassing that would be for Maka.

[daddydeathscythe]

[He stills, catching his breath and taking a moment to process Stein's argument. He then furtively glances over towards Maka, hoping she didn't notice the altercation. Or the fact that a number of his limbs are now protruding from the bushes.]

You're right. I can't interrupt her philanthropy with a panic attack. That would be humiliating. I'll have to stay here until the coast is clear.

[He sighs, slowly and cautiously looking back up at Stein.]

[aboutwhynot]

[Hook, line, and sinker. Good to know he still remembered how to manipulate Spirit as well as he used to.]

There you go!

Come, sit, tell me what you've been up to recently while we wait for the crowd to clear out.

[daddydeathscythe]

[He tries to scoot backwards and away from Stein, but that proves to be difficult when you've practically embedded yourself in the foliage. He settles for shifting slightly and settling himself in as dignified and comfortable a position as possible.]

Nothing exceptional. I've just been working, for the most part.
It's been lonely with Maka away from home for so long.

[And he's just going to avert his eyes ever so slightly and avoid mentioning the other things he's been doing with his time.]

What have you been doing lately?

[aboutwhynot]

[With the way Spirit breaks eye contact, he doesn't even need to say anything; Stein can take a guess with what else he's been up to.]

Trying to learn how to like the subject I teach, mostly. I learned that the Romans used to cut open birds to read the future, though, and I've been enjoying getting to teach that, at least.

[daddydeathscythe]

[Don't judge him, Stein. He gets lonely. Spirit cringes at the mention of bird dissection. His eyes frantically dart about for a moment before throwing an suspiciously inquisitive glance in Stein's direction?]

How are you meant to read the future from bird entrails?
And why do you teach divination if you don't like it? Can't you apply for a different course?

[aboutwhynot]

Fuck if I know. [Best professor, don't even lie.]

And no, unfortunately I can't: Originally, I applied for Defense Against the Dark Arts, but I think it was decided I'd end up being too rough on the students. Then I tried for Care of Magical Creatures, and I'm sure I can guess why I was denied for that. You probably remember how terrible I was in Transfiguration, especially compared to you, and nothing else really held my interest. At least Divination is something I have a talent in.

[daddydeathscythe]

You just wanted to eviscerate birds, didn't you?

[He shrugs, shifting backwards as well as he can and maintaining his suspicious gaze.]
In any case, I guess you're right.You did always have a flair for divination, but there's not much point in teaching something you don't enjoy. You could probably find a job at the ministry if you wanted to.

[aboutwhynot]

Precisely.

And I might not teach a subject I enjoy, I enjoy teaching well enough that it isn't such a depressing situation. And I don't really think a desk job would agree with me; we both know what happens when I get bored~
