[hollowchild]

Ah, hello. You've reached Sophie, but I must be in the midst of something. If you have a question about self-defense or Teachers' Council, leave a message letting me know what precisely you're interested in and I'll get back to you.

...everyone else, do as you do, I suppose.

Comments

[hollowchild]

[she's silent for a moment, processing that]

I'm surprised.

[understatement of the day, but he wouldn't know it from her tone]

You'll be fine if you both keep your temper.

audio;

[wasthemaster]

Me too. [He's also a bit nervous about the idea.] She's the one who asked though.

audio;

[hollowchild]

I see.

[she thinks that's a bit odd, yep. her next words are measured]

Perhaps I could come along the first few times.

audio;

[wasthemaster]

...why?

audio;

[hollowchild]

Because you two have a rather voltile history, you haven't taught before, and she doesn't know how to fight.

[because she's worried about you, you twit]

audio;

[wasthemaster]

She's punched me in the face before. It's fine.

audio;

[hollowchild]

That would rather be part of my point, actually. Humor me, Draco. If it's fine you may feel free to lecture me at length for worrying overmuch.

audio;

[wasthemaster]

What's this really about, Sophie?

audio;

[hollowchild]

A half-dozen things, at very least, and I'm sure you'd have no trouble thinking of most of them.

audio;

[wasthemaster]

I'm really tired right now, so spare me the brain power?

audio;

[hollowchild]

[she sighs, and he can probably hear her run a hand through her hair]

Draco, can you please just trust that my reasons are good because I am not a particularly frivolous person and humor me? It's not a lack of faith in you at all. I also want to see what kind of teacher you are.

audio;

[wasthemaster]

...I'll let you know when the first lesson's arranged, all right? [Unless he "forgets."]

audio;

[hollowchild]

If you're planning to let it slip your mind, I am going to be genuinely angry at you.

[he has yet to see her actually angry, and there's some warning of that in her tone]

audio;

[wasthemaster]

What makes you think I'd do that?

Re: audio;

[hollowchild]

Because sometimes you have more pride than sense, and if you meant me to come you'd have agreed instead of equivocating.

audio;

[wasthemaster]

I'll ask Granger how she feels about it.

audio;

[hollowchild]

Mm. All right.

[so will she, not that she's telling him so]

audio;

[wasthemaster]

In the meantime, when's our next lesson scheduled?

audio;

[hollowchild]

Tomorrow, I think.

audio;

[wasthemaster]

All right. I'll see you then.

audio;

[hollowchild]

All right.
