Office 14 [All day Friday]

[furious_maximus]

Max felt sort of sad that he couldn't be at the party. Because he suspected there would be a whole lot of very attractive, and at least a few available and interested, women there. But he had a job, and (sadly) he took that seriousy

To be fair, a beautiful, buxom, bouncy (in several different manners of definition) blond woman did step into his office.

It's just that a psuedo-Mongol warrior in a Stetson, cowboy boots, and a worn t-shirt stepped in with her.

"Hello," said the blond with a little fluttering wave, "are you Professor Maximus?"

[furious_maximus]

The smile that Max flashed her only dimmed a little bit when the man followed the really attractive woman into the office. He was still Max, and the woman was still hot, and that meant that certain things were just going to happen. Like flirting.

"I am," Max laughed. "But, please, just call me Max. Titles are for the military, not the classroom." He stood up and offered her his hand.

"Max, then," and if her smile was a little warmer for the flirting, well, this was Dallas.

"We're Fiona's aunt and uncle, here for the weekend. You're one of Fiona's teachers, aren't you? We just wanted to meet you, check in, of course. See what kind of person you are."

Aaron watched the other man carefully before speaking.

"Military man?"

[furious_maximus]

There was a chance that aunt and uncle meant they were siblings rather than spouses, but... Dallas' wider grin made Max's own widen a bit in return. "I hope you find me satisfactory."

He turned to Aaron and nodded. His back straightened and he settled into a sort of loose at-rest stance. "Career legionaire," he agreed.

"Professor Max?" Karla poked her head in the doorway. "Do you have a moment? I'd like you to meet my uncle. My adopted uncle."

[furious_maximus]

Max was already reaching for his sword when Karla added the 'adopted' part. "Of course," he grinned, relaxing.. "Come on in."

[hells_highlord]

Saetan raised an eyebrow, seeing the reaction the professor had when Karla mentioned her uncle.

"Professor Maximus," he said, giving the man a small nod. "Thank you for taking care of Karla."

[glacial_witch]

Karla flushed a bit. "I don't need protecting while I'm here, Uncle Saetan," she protested.

By this point, Saetan could probably recite that protest with her, right down to the inflection.

Ms Bellum had taken her luggage to her room and spent a few minutes freshening up before striking out to gather more information on Momoko's progress. She checked her data-pad - yes, this was the office of one of Momoko's teachers this semester. She knocked.

"Excuse me. I'm looking for a Professor Maximus?"

[furious_maximus]

"Come in," Max called. Female voice. Maybe she was good looking!

[thefaceisuphere]

Ms Bellum shook off an odd shiver and opened the door, entering the room with a business-like air. A very sexy business-like air, but that really couldn't be helped. She dropped her data-pad to her side and inclined her head briefly. "Professor Maximus, I hope?"

[furious_maximus]

"Max, please," he grinned smokily. "Maximus is such a mouthful."
