flourish and blotts

[wwistful]

[This guy was helping his son pick out the best shit for his classes, but he decided to let him to wander off for the moment.

Currently, he's in the bookstore, trying not to be super obvious about glancing at the romance section. Right now he's got an incredibly boring looking textbook in his hands.]

[If Donoghue isn't too distracted by his boring looking textbook, he might hear some barely suppresssed laughter coming from the Arithmancy section. ]

"Look at me. I'm Professor Donoghue. I read romance novels. Maybe If I hold this big, impressive looking textbook, nobody will notice that I'm browsing the Romance section. If all else fails, they'll surely be distracted by my incredibly tight pants."

[wwistful]

[He can hear that, thank you very much. He snaps the book shut and glares over in the direction of the voice, stalking over while trying to look as cool and collected as possible.

He pokes his head around the shelf and quirks an eyebrow.]

Lookin' for more cheatin' methods, are we?

[bonafide_divinity]

"Maybe if I were as--"

[Wait! He just looked his way. This would probably be a good time to go back to looking for his Arithmancy textbook. Right. That's what he'll do. He'll browse the shelves here and prepare to look pleasantly surprised in case Donoghue acknowledges
He winces when Donoghue does acknowledge him, but quickly composes himself well enough to force a smile as he turns to face his professor. This is a good plan and he's sticking to it.]

Professor Donoghue! I wasn't expecting to run into you here... How are you?

[wwistful]

Annoyed. [Staring you down, Tulio.] You're rather loud for someone pretendin' to whispet.

Whispet? :p

[bonafide_divinity]

[Well... This isn't good. But wait! Maybe he can still salvage the situation. After all, Donoghue can't prove anything yet. Anyone could have been back here whispering derisive remarks. He's going to look innocuously confused now. ]

I don't know what you're talking about.

I WAS TIRED /KILLS YOU

[wwistful]

Then you're dumber than you look.

WHISPET.

[bonafide_divinity]

[Salvaging the situation is not going well at all. Right. Time for a last ditch effort. He is now going to do his level best to appear completely and utterly scandalized.]

I don't know what you're implying, Professor Donoghue, but I don't think I like it.

careless whisper

[wwistful]

Come now, you should be used to this. [Hand gestures that make nothing clear.] Being called on your stupid behaviour, that is.

Careless Whippet

[bonafide_divinity]

[eep This is definitely not going well. But damnit, he's not going to give in just yet. Maybe Donoghue will listen to reason. ]

That's not quite fair, Professor Donoghue. You can't prove I've done anything stupid yet.

Plays the saxaphone for ten hours

[wwistful]

I could look at your school records. I'm waitin' for you to own up to it, c'mon now, be a man.

And I'm never gonna dance again

[bonafide_divinity]

[He might be taking a step backwards. Away from Donoghue. Just maybe.]

Admittedly my records... aren't what they could be.

[He pauses for a moment befor looking up at his professor in what he hopes looks like a state of earnest determination. ]

But believe me, I can change!

[Please believe him.]

[syned_a_brik]

Hallo Professor! Vot is hyu lookink for?

[wwistful]

[GUH where did you come from!?] I'm not lookin' for anything. Why?

[wwhatevver]

[You asked for it.

And now have some nerd with books completely unrelated to his studies walking up.

UGH HE LOVES BOOKS. AND HISTORY. UGH.]

Sometimes I hate how heawy books can get whenewer you carry a good number of them.

[wwistful]

At least you're gettin' some form a excerise these holidays, eh lad?

[wwhatevver]

[Rude, dad. He's gonna lean down and plop them gently on the ground.]

No way, I'we been gettin' exercise lately, you know. Caligula.

[wwistful]

I fail to see how chasin' that rat around is considered exercise.

[wwhatevver]

He's not a rat, he's a the Mustelidae family, and also he's better than some mangy rat.

[Someone's been doing his research.]

I don't understand why you'we been treatin' him like that.

[wwistful]

Alright, he's a sophisticated rat.

Treatin' him like what? I paid for him and I pay for all of his expensive needs too, I treat him like the furry little prince he is.

[wwhatevver]

He's not a rat, he's more of a weasel.

[He huffs a little.

... Maybe I'm just bein' owerprotectiwe or somethin' but--]

... Newermind then.

[wwistful]

I'm sure he's perfectly charmin' for a weasel. [Going to just clear his throat because he hates that thing.] Bickie doesn't like him.

[wwhatevver]

[Just. Scoffing and crossing his arms.] Bickie most certainly does like him. If Bickie didn't like Cali I'm sure he would hawe been eaten by now or somethin' like that.

[wwistful]

I don't think that's really an accurate way to judge his likin' a somethin'. He's terribly fond a food and he eats plenty a that.

[wwhatevver]

...Of course he's goin' to eat food, he's a big dog. Okay, he hasn't... I don't know, he hasn't tried to maim Cali or anythin' like that. I watch them interact and they're great with each other.
