Not THAT kid again

Mar 26, 2008 17:41

What's the best thing in the whole wide world, aside from astronauts, Fred Astaire and candy?

Easiest answer ever. The circus. And who're the best there is of all the awesome artists there? Even easier. Not the clowns, not the pretty ballerinas with their hoola hoops, not the rubber-jointed triplets ( Read more... )

There is a new janitor about the grounds, although he's kept an extremely low profile. The janitor is fairly certain that no young student should be climbing the walls in such a manner, particularly without adult supervision, but he's also hesitant to intervene. His worry for the child wins out.

"Uhhm... A-a-are ye s-sure ye should be d-d-doing th-that?"

OH NOES! It's the fuzz!

Janitor or no janitor, that guy over there is an Adult, and Adults still hold a fair amount of respect in the little boy's eyes, even if they're strangers.

One, he's wearing a uniform. Two, he's in there, which means he's allowed in there, or the awesome Powers What Be would've kicked his keister, or so the counselor told him once.

The counselor also lectured him on the Potential Hurtful Affinities of Certain Words, and boy if that wasn't fun. Kadi couldn't stop giggling the whole time, because hello? Demon lecturing him on being nice to others? EL-OH-EL!

But, back to the present, in which he's been busted well and good. But, kids his age are a lot more clever than some people think, and Kadi is no exception. He can pick out insecurities like a bloodhound puppy.

"Uh-huuuuuuh. I'm gonna be an explorer when I grow up! This is prep-uh-rations!" Can't you just hear the :D face?

As authority figures go, he does not make an intimidating impression. Clad in worn and faded coveralls and gloves, Thorn is barely tall enough to register as an adult, and somewhat pudgy in a way that serves to make him look cuddly. Were it not for the faceful of blisters and scabs, he'd be an appealing figure.
He reacts to the enthusiasm with a measure of uncertainty, surely leading the boy to realize what a push-over he is. "U-um. Oh... D-din't know that w-w-wos a perfession. Y-ye s-s-sure ye sh-shouldn't ave... d-dunno, s-some kind of t-t-teacher ab-bouts?" He does not mean himself, and is privately hoping some greater authority figure will come 'round the corner at any moment and take responsibility.
