AFTER CLASS

[bountyandbeast]

June had been watching from a distance, up in the trees of the forest. Using her abilities as a Muggle bounty hunter, she was able to deduce most of what had been going on. The interactions between the bald student and the crossdresser student were humorous, but her laughter was quiet and reserved.

When the rest of the class had dispersed after the lesson, she dropped down from various branches before landing right behind Laguna flat-footed. "Nice work there, Sunshine."

Laguna jumped slightly, spinning around. But he recognized the nickname and knew who it was after a few seconds. He sighed. "Oh yeah, very nice."

Were people just not interested in Magical Creatures anymore? Not many students had turned up today. Maybe more would come the next class session. Or so Laguna hoped anyway. "How are you doing?" Laguna asked, reaching down to peel Artemis from his leg and hold her in his arms. She nuzzled his neck.

June bumped him on his back with a stiff shoulder. "Cheer up, big guy. I watched from up there. You seemed to have things...oh, who am I kidding?" June sighed as her praise didn't get too far in her own mind. "But it's your first time, and I know for a fact those are two of the roughest kids around. You know, the baldy and the girly guy."

June had looked around and then admired the kneazle pressing against Laguna's neck. "Doing alright. This is your furball here?" June looked it over and heard some slight purring. "A true cutie there."

"Yeah, but I was also hoping more would show up," Laguna sighed, but then he shrugged. "Well, I have the other class days. Hopefully the class will be bigger then."

He smiled at Artemis. "Yup, this is her. Her name is Artemis. Artemis, this is June, but don't give her a nickname, she doesn't like it." Laguna watched as Artemis stopped nuzzling his neck to look at June, studying her for a moment before leaning forward, sniffing. He brought her over to June, to let June pet her, if the Gate Keeper wanted to.

Artemis meowed slightly in response, peering at June and sniffing near her some more.

June smirked at him. "That's the spirit, Sunshine. And if not, you get to go home early with this little one." Admiring the soft mew from the kneazle, she stroked the soft neckhairs of Artemis gently, causing a deeper purr. "I don't know...Artie could be an exception to the rule, but only if she starts talking."

Suddenly, June got a half-joking, half-serious face to point at Laguna with. "And none of that talking for her. That doesn't count."

Laguna mock-pouted. "Aww, but why? She certainly doesn't mind."

He grinned, scratching the back on her neck. Artemis was in heaven it seemed, so deep her purring was.

"Besides, old people are allowed to talk to their pets, so there," He chuckled.

Re: AFTER CLASS

[bountyandbeast]

June was enjoying her time with Artemis, the purring furball that took a liking to the bounty hunter's surprisingly gentle touch, and Laguna, the new Magical Creatures teacher who was rather kind.

And then her insecure half kicked in. "I talk to my pets, SUNSHINE...AM I OLD TO YOU?" June returned a menacing pout to Laguna, looking past the poor guy's innocent smile.

Re: AFTER CLASS

[prof_leg_cramp]

Laguna blinked at her. "No, nononono, I was talking about myself!"

That was an amazing pout she was giving him, he gave her an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insinuate that!"

Not that he was going to ask but... how old was June, then? She looked really young to really get mad at something like that...

Re: AFTER CLASS

[bountyandbeast]

Suddenly, the tiniest mew emerged from the frightened Artemis. June instantly turned off her anger and revealed her softer side to the fluffy kneazle. "Oh, I'm sorry to have frightened you, Artie. We're still friends, right?" June asked while shaking Artemis' paw.

She then looked up at Laguna. "Sorry about that...can't stand the comments about my age, being a young lady and all. Some punk student told me that when I was just comfortable here, and I guess it got to me. Sorry to give you the ol' stinkeye, Sunshine."

[sdkfhldskjf I NEVER GOT THIS NOTIF!!!!]

Laguna decided to let June hold Artemis as he answered. "Oh, it's alright. I'm used to saying things wrong or something," He chuckled sheepishly. "Can't seem to stop doing that. But really, I wasn't talking about your age at all. Just my own."

Hey, he had the gray hairs to prove it, so he was allowed to make fun of himself. Not that he didn't do it enough unintentionally anyway, but that was besides the point.

...and I just fail. >>;

"I give everybody a hard time. Most of the time they deserve, but you're just funny when you panic," June smiled as Artemis' hair pressed against her face. "I'm 26, so it's getting to the point where I can notice my age coming through."

June smirked a bit. "Of course, my tolerance has only gotten better, so I can't tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing."

[prof_leg_cramp]

"Well, that's not very nice," He pouted, acting very NOT like his age.

Laguna grinned though. "Tolerance is a good thing, I would think. Means you won't have the headache of yelling at people. I know I don't yell at people, not normally anyway. Feels better, that way."

Let it be known this was why he was also gullible dork.
