why am I not surprised

[whip_of_thorns]

Hm.  Not one day after I mentioned how quiet it was, too.

-will be working in the library, tuning out music-

Have you called a plague down on us, Minamino?

[whip_of_thorns]

That remains to be seen. These... events usually happen without a word said on my part.

[perfidious_son]

Usually, but maybe you have a special touch, hmm? *he's teasing, really*

[whip_of_thorns]

Heh; it is possible. As I said, it remains to be seen. When this event is over, I will comment on the lack of rain.

[perfidious_son]

If you give it fair warning, it won't happen. This school doesn't like being predictable.

[whip_of_thorns]

...That is true. Next time I make a harmless observation without an ulterior motive, then.

[perfidious_son]

I'm not sure how much I should look forward to it.

[whip_of_thorns]

Knowing this school, probably not very much. It will most likely be irritating and cause much complaining.

[perfidious_son]

One day, perhaps, they will learn complaining doesn't help matters.

[whip_of_thorns]

No; it only increases the noise level, among other things.

[perfidious_son]

As long as it's their noise, I suppose it mollifies them.

[whip_of_thorns]

Some do appear to take an express pleasure in it.
