[He sighs, and shakes his head at her.] Do you really think I'd indulge in a child's prank? I'm aware you don't like me very much, but when have I ever done anything so blatantly unprofessional?

[wwishful]

I think you would, given the nature of that comment. [She nods and gives him a flat stare.]

Your entire existence is unprofessional, but I have no intention of listin' your short comings.

[higherthaneverybody]

[Okay, he has to laugh for that one, really.] I'm not the one conducting affairs with my co-workers and arranging sham marriages. But no, I had nothing to do with your current condition.

[wwishful]

I have absolutely no idea what you're goin' on about. [She says, cocking her head to the side. And it's true! She doesn't. Things wen't a little differently for her, luckily. Now she's curious..] What do you mean?

[higherthaneverybody]

[He decides he might as well tell her the truth, since if she's anything like male Murdoc, she won't believe a word of what he's saying.]

Mm, usually you're a man. At least the iteration I know of you is, unless he's hiding something wonderfully well. Murdoc Donoghue. I think the castle is mucking about again.

[wwishful]

[She is quite a bit like her alternate self, that much is obvious in the unsure expression on her face as she studies him, trying to tell if he's lying.

But what reason would he have for it? And she cannot deny that certain events, such as having a naked person in her bed and nothing but male clothing, bring logic to the claim.]

So it would seem. I suppose I've no reason NOT to believe you, though I do wonder if you can prove it.

[higherthaneverybody]

How would I go about proving such a thing? Ask the other professors. They'll tell you.

[wwishful]

[She rolls her eyes, waving him off.]

That won't be necessary. I suppose all I can do is hope that it isn't permanent.

[higherthaneverybody]

I almost hope it is - you seem more pleasant this way. [amused look] And apparently you're more respectable. But these things seldom seem to last more than a few days.
