WHO: ALL OF THE TEACHERS and their broods
TONE: FUN!?!?
RATING: M for Mature.
WHEN: 4th April to 7th April (ish)
WHERE: Murdoc's home in Greece
WHAT: A teacher meeting held in Greece! What could possibly go wrong?
STATUS: Ongoing.

[Murdoc isn't sure why the responsibility of hosting the meeting fell to him, honestly it already sounds like a terrible idea. He doubts any of them will either come up with sound lesson plans, work cohesively as a team or leave his home any wiser and more mature than they were when they entered. To him, it seems as if a couple of people just like the idea of visiting Greece. However, it's not as if he's going to pass up the chance to show off! And it's not like he doesn't have room to spare.

He's not going to be all that happy to have people there, but he's not a bad host. Everyone has a room and there's food and booze provided. Not to mention the fact that the beach and town are within walking distance, but why on earth would you want to live such a sick crib? Of course, given that he's a pureblood there's absolutely no technology or reception, but there's a pool and a near endless amount of rooms filled with nifty shit!

Regardless, if you aren't a kid you sure as hell aren't here to explore, so quit touching his stuff and get working.]

[He blinks at him, really not expecting that response.]

Uh... Well...

How am I meant to know that? She doesn't say, well, anything about you two, so any number of things could be happening. And you're just so impossibly tall and so you have to look down when talking it looks like you're going to swoop on me or something, which you better not do to her, by the way. So what if you two are making all these big and grand plans and I have no idea what's going on.

[Not that Karkat has any insecurities about being left out or anything.]

[slowly raises an eyebrow] And have you asked her about any of this?

Well. She only tells me about what I ask about. And nothing more... [He scuffs his shoe] And I don't want to ask her. It's her life, and she can do whatever she wants with it. As if I would stop her from being happy.

She deserves it.

And do you honestly think she'd be happy if she were separated from you, or if you were unhappy?

...I...

[He doesn't reply, because he's really unsure. In Karkat's mind, just because she fawns over him, doesn't mean she isn't thinking about leaving him at any moment. It's not like he doesn't know he can be impossible to deal with a lot of the time. Losing his parents has mad him very insecure about the adults in his life.]

[Rhys looks down at the boy. He doesn't crouch to be on eye level. He doesn't address him kindly. Those would be condescending things to do, and he has no intention of treating the boy like a young child.]

I can tell you, without a doubt, that you are the most important thing in Dolores's life. She will put you first, always, because that is the kind of woman she is. Even if I were inclined to do so, any attempt on my part to draw her away from you or get between the two of you would result in her very swiftly and kindly telling me that things are simply not going to work.

We are not getting married. We are not running away to a foreign country. You mother is a woman I am deeply fond of and admire greatly, but both of us are too old to be so impetuous - we have only just started to see each other in a romantic setting.

So I would appreciate it greatly if you would stop circling her like some sort of guard dog, as amusing as it is at times.

[He scuffs his shoe again, almost feeling stupid for being so annoyed at Rhys' intrusion into his little life, even if it is on the fringe so to speak. However he choses not to show this, as he crosses his arms and huffs loudly.]

Good. And you should go and take it so incredibly slow with her, because I'm not calling you Dad.

[He pauses]

Or Da, I don't give a shit how you're called in Welsh it will never happen.

Last of all, it's fantastic that you find a student amusing, no really that's only the first step to demoralising me and destroying my fragile teen self esteem, thank you so much for that one right there.

[He suddenly feels like the fact that this tall man being Gamzee's uncle is less of a surprise, from calling him an amusing guard dog.]

I would think that a year in my class would give you a little idea of what to expect on that front. [Yeeeeeeah, you might not be comfortable knowing that they've already slept together on multiple occasions, would you, Karkat?] But I certainly have no intention of insisting you call me any form of father. I'm not your father, regardless of my relationship with Dolores.

School personalities and off the job personalities aren't always the same.

[He gives a little huff, and NO he REALLY wouldn't want to know they've so much as held hands, let alone slept together, he's happy in his ignorant bliss.]

Well good. At least we have that settled and out of the way. Filed away under 'things to never bring up again' and oh, that file will be put in a locked cabinet just so it doesn't come up again.

Your mental landscape must be an interesting place. [dryly]
