I-I, um, I-- I-I can-- t-teach you.

Sure, thanks! Where can we meet?

Uhh...

[There's a pause as Xanth thinks.]

Th-there's a-- a room o-on the fourth f-floor? O-Of the-- barracks? I-It's like, i-it's a common room, i-it's-- n-near e-enough?

[If you're in the barracks, of course, which he just so happens to be.]

Sure, I'm pretty close. Meet you there in ten?

Huh. I didn't even know y'could do that.

Yup. Someone mentioned it at some point; thought I should learn.

Sounds like a good thing t'learn. Think you could teach it to me once you do?

Edited 2012-06-08 19:18 (UTC)

Sure. I'll let y'know when I can~

Sweet!

How've ya been, by th'way.

[Oh, y'know, rabid, but fine now! Yeaaaaaah, like she'll say that.]

Eh, alive, heh. Not terrible. How bout you, Zeke? Not to terrible I hope?

[As long as he didn't get attacked she'll be happy.

I'm fantastic. And if y'ever need a spot of smiley fruit lemme know.

[Snrk. She's kind of staring at her journal, considering.]

Smiley fruit?

Watermelon. Y'cut it into triangles, eat it, and then y'get a smile.

[Oh. Wow. Zeke, you just made her feel so much better. You are awesome.]

I'll - hee - keep that in mind, dude.

Great. It's th'perfect pick-me-up for a bad day.

Sounds like it!

I can.

[Woah, that's a voice she hasn't heard in AGES.]

Sure, awesome, that'd be great. When're you free?

For you, my dear, I am always free.

Awesome. Meet me in the library in ten?

Certainly, Sarea.

[LOOK HE CAN LEARN.]

[Oh mai, so he can! Wolf immediately swallows her automatic 'blue boy' response.]

Thanks, Megamind! See you soon.

[And off she goes to the library! With a rather springy step, considering how morbid she's been feeling recently.]

[He's there at the precise hour she requested, flipping through one of the books with a disgruntled look on his face.]

[Wolf is all smiles when she spots him, doing her best to be cheerful. Hey, she hasn't seen him in ages, so this is cool! Plus dwelling on past shit is a bad thing.]

Hey, you! Where've you been hiding?

[She's one to talk, but hey, whatev.]

Hardly hiding, Sarea.

[He smirks a little, though.]

Working on this and that. My apologies, I seem to have lost track of time. [He does that sometimes. Gets so caught up in his plans and inventions that he forget the world still turns around him.]

[Wolf just gives a lopsided grin.]

Pft, sure, whatever dude.

[She flops into a chair opposite him, settling herself comfortably.

No worries, I get it. Now.

[She pulls her journal out and holds it out to him expectantly.]

Help?

Yes, yes. Sealing.

[He digs his journal out of some unseen pocket, along with a candle.]

To make it private, all you need do is address it to whoever you want to see it, then seal it.

[He gestures with his candle.]

Thumbprint in hot wax. Just here, next to your name.

[Wolf just. Stares, for a second. First at the journal, then at him, then at the journal again. See the incredulous look on her face, Megamind? Yeah, it's real.]

That's it?

[Seriously. She'd expected it to be at least somewhat more complicated then that.]

Wow. That's... really easy.

That's it.

[He smirks.]

Rather irritating for it to be so easy, isn't it? [It had sure aggravated the hell out of him.]

Yes!

[She's laughing, though, throwing her hands up in the air in a false-drama.]

I thought there'd be, I donno, something more complicated! Seriously, hah, how old fashioned can you get?

[She'll be giggling for a while now.]

One would think that, but--
\
[Smirk.]

Sometimes, things are just so -- simple. Yes?

Apparently!

[Still giggling, though it's subsided... a bit.]

Still, dude, thanks for showing me. Even if it is maddeningly simple.

Of course, of course. [Not going into how HE knows, but. There you go.]

So -- do tell me, since you've pulled a disappearing act lately -- [couldn't be him nope not even when he'd admitted to being caught up -- how have you, ah. Been?

[That's the right question, right?]

[His question cuts the giggles off, Wolf wondering if she should lie or actually admit to what happened. Best to just... not go into details, really...]

I'm, uh, fine. Really. Just... some shit happened. Didn't feel like, y'know, dealing with... people.

[Wolf grins, lifting an eyebrow and giving him a bemused look.]

Why? You worried about me?

Er. [Admitting he was worried is admitting to caring. But -- he's done it for Ryn, so...he supposed he ought to extend Sarea the same courtesy. He sighs.]

Frankly, yes. I might be a bit of a hermit sometimes, getting caught up in my designs and work, but I am never so unobservant as to not notice your silence. Did something happen?

Edited 2012-07-02 02:03 (UTC)

Well...

[Truth or lie? He's the type that'd know if she lied, plus she'd feel uncomfortable being dishonest. Wolf blows out a breath, not looking right at him.]

Y'know, that... dog-thing that was wreaking havoc? I ended up getting into a scuffle with it. Got away, but got bit. So I, ah, went rabid, kind of.

[Pause.]

But I'm better now! I swear! Goliath got me to the healer pretty quick!

[WUT.]

It -- well. [Control. That. Temper.]

It's a damned good thing I killed it then, isn't it?

[Because if not he'd go murder the shit out of it NOW.]

[Wolf blinks and stares. Then blinks again.]

...you were the one who killed it?

[She'd kind of, ah, been PASSED OUT at that time, so she didn't know. Now, though, she smiles, openly and honestly.]

Well, thanks, dude. I mean, that thing was vicious . I'm lucky I GOT away. So, thanks. You're a real hero sometimes, Megamind.

[smug smug smug]

Indeed I did. You're all very welcome, I--

[HRRRKKK.]

H-Hero? [Choking here, so sorry.]

H-Hardly!

Pft.

[Gringringrin.].

You. are. a. hero. Deal with it.

DON'T SAY SUCH THINGS, IT'S BLASPHEMY--

[Ahem.]

I...am...not a hero. I could never be a hero -- not in the white spandex and goody-two-shoes kind of way. I'm more...

[Ponder. Ponder.]

The antihero.
