I'm happy to know that everyone seems to be doing well in the Defense Against Dark Arts classes. Let's keep it that way, okay? If you need any help, feel free t

[And then suddenly, ink all over the page. Some of them seem to be in the shape of paw prints. Flip flip flip]

I... will return shortly.

We need to talk. [sjklgsdklh what the fuck is going ooonnnnnnnn.]

[heavens_email]

[Scoff.] Just 'cause I'm out of practice doesn't mean I don't know how to deal with it.

[zealotringly]

Makes sense.

So... what did you want to talk about that's more important than finding my cat? [She looks back at him]

[heavens_email]

[A pause, and then he pokes her as an answer. ALIVE. Sort of a big deal.]

[zealotringly]

[sghdfjgk she jumps ever so slightly. ]

You... you want to talk to me about... that? What do you want me to say? I know nothing that turns ghosts into their previous state.

[heavens_email]

[Pause.] So then you wouldn't know if it's permanent. Huh. [He scratches the bandage distractedly.]

[zealotringly]

I don't. It may not be only because if the castle is behind this, then it will not last. [A beat] Stop touching your injury.

[heavens_email]

[Child face.] It itches.

[zealotringly]

[Scolding parent face] That doesn't mean you have to scratch it.

[heavens_email]

[Huff. BUT MOM.]

[ B| ]

Well, then. I'm off. [Stop him if you want. Because, hah, him being alone is probably not the best idea. Where do you think that wound came from?]

[zealotringly]

Gabriel. Don't take me for a fool. There's a reason why you're here. You're suddenly human and you came here to ask me about what's going on? You could have asked anyone that and over the journals no less.

Tell me why you stoppped by here knowing we have not been on speaking terms.

action;

[heavens_email]

[DING. Winner. Gabriel stops in his tracks.]

[zealotringly]

[If it's not known now, Kallen's giving off this 'don't you dare walk away from me' vibe.]

Are you going to tell me or are we going to go back to not talking? Back to being upset with each other to the point where our cats are trying to fix our relationship. I don't know about you, but I hate this. I hate this and I don't know why. I don't want to hate you but you've done all the things that under normal circumstances, I would. Rather, I can't hate you.

[There's a pause and an intake of breath as if she's trying to gather all she has to say what she needs to.]

So if you're going to tell me that we don't have some sort of past together that I don't know about, then fine. Lie to me. Lie and say you don't know me, that you don't know about my brother. But if you do, I will try my damnedest to hate you.

[Gabriel just stands in the doorway, back to Kallen, hands in his pockets. Finally--]

You should.
