[h-hmmmm he's getting this weird feeling...]

Dunno if I can call myself that... but it was pretty funny.

[continues to dig his grave]

[faithkept]

[What weird feeling could he possibly be getting!!]

I'm glad that you were able to enjoy a little levity in an otherwise stressful situation. [Reaching out to gently pat his hand...] But I'd ask that you refrain from giving a poor teacher a scare with such silly pranks, please.

[bookpapers]

[IT'S THE ALLEN FACE OF SMILING WHILE WANTING TO KICK LAVI DEAD FEELING]

Hehe, sorry.

[don't hehe about it... looks at lucas's beautiful hand reaching out to him....]

So you're a teacher? What kind of stuff do you teach?

[faithkept]

[HELLO WHY IS LAVI SURROUNDED BY SO MANY VIOLENT PEOPLE unlike him, a very peaceful soul who's just out here vibing in the wilds...]

No harm done. [Except for his POOR HEART.] But yes, I am - and I teach anything that needs to be taught, up to a certain level.

[He's no fuckin science genius but he can at least understand and teach from textbooks.]

[bookpapers]

[a teacher..... sensei onegai]

Anything? Even bugs?

[sorry lavi is so ANNOYING]

[faithkept]

[He's going to hit Lavi with a brick.]

Even bugs, of course. Seeing them in a book is much less troublesome than pulling leeches off of your legs, wouldn't you agree?

[Especially since they may or may not have photographs of things considering cameras are a rarity??]

[bookpapers]

[wow... wonder why they're a rarity........]

So just looking at 'em doesn't scare ya. [noted.......

jk.....] Did you always want to be a teacher?

[faithkept]

Seeing them is fine as well, as long as they aren't overly close.

[The second they come at him it's joever. But! With a smile:]

I did, yes, since I was a young child. My mother was a teacher, and I always admired her line of work.

[bookpapers]

[lavi takes a moment to imagine lucas as a tiny tot, cute.....]

So you're following in her footsteps. What about your father?

[faithkept]

[A tiny tot who could squish people like grapes...]

He was invested in public defense, so he became the leader of our civilian armed forces. A noble pursuit in its own way...

[bookpapers]

[LISTEN HE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT PART]

They sound pretty impressive. What about siblings? Or are you an only child?

[faithkept]

[NO ONE EVER WILL.]

I have a wonderful little sister. [HIS SWEET PRECIOUS NADIA. But also:] May I ask the same of you? Goodness, you have quite the skill for asking question after question; I feel like you already know much more about me than I do you.

[Lucas who's normally tightlipped about himself just sitting there like HELLO.]

[bookpapers]

[at that lavi grins... the leeches startled lucas and made him spill his secrets....]

It's like you said, teach! Conversing's the best way to learn about someone.

[heehee]

It's just me and my Gramps. He's a teacher too -- taught me everything I know, and he's still teaching me now. We're both part of the Bookman clan.

[faithkept]

[HIS SECRETS FLOWED OUT ALONG WITH HIS BLOOD.]

Oh! I see... Is the Bookman clan a clan of librarians?

[Help. WELL. IT'S A BIT ON THE NOSE BUT, Y'KNOW.]

[bookpapers]

[lavi briefly considers LYING and saying they're a clan of book-shaped spirits... but he's already leeched lucas so maybe next time...]

Kinda! We're historians, so we deal with books sometimes, but we're usually in the field so we can get firsthand accounts. There's only one Bookman at a time -- that's my Gramps right now. I'm his apprentice, and the rest of us support him in other ways.

[faithkept]

[YEAH STOP BULLYING HIM!!! HE'S DONE NOTHING TO DESERVE THIS HE'S JUST A LITTLE GUY!!!]

It sounds very industrious! [Imagine having enough history to need historians...] Out of curiosity, have you met Mathis Claude yet...? I have a feeling the two of you would have a great deal of things to talk about.

[bookpapers]

[no he had a hilarious reaction one time so now he's lavi's prank partner forever,]

Oh yeah -- shy guy, bad with crowds, but good with languages? He's pretty interesting.

[we love a nerd]

Did he leave that much of an impression on ya, or did you know him before you woke up here?

[faithkept]

[HE'S GOING TO HIT LAVI WITH A BRICK (REAL)!!!!!]

He's a precious student of mine. [SWEET MATHIS!! If anyone makes Mathis sad they will turn up dead.] So please treat him kindly, will you?

[bookpapers]

[kawaii....]

Sure, I'll help look after him too. [teej is tutorial] I won't leech him or anything, promise.

[faithkept]

[STOP THIS]

Very good! I'll accept a little bit of teasing, but he's already in a difficult situation just trying to adjust to so many people.

[bookpapers]

You're looking out for people again...

[lucas.... what a carebear]

But I bet he appreciates it.

[faithkept]

More than anyone else, he's my responsibility here, after all.

[He's going to look out for Mathis until one or both of them inevitably DIE.]

He's a very sweet boy. He shows gratitude any time he feels it's due, perhaps even in situations where he doesn't need to feel so grateful...

[bookpapers]

[STOP YOU CAN BOTH GO TO GY WITH ME]

…Is he not used to people helping him?

[faithkept]

[SEE YOU THERE :3c

In any case, his expression becomes a little more thoughtful at that, considering.]

More than anything, I believe it's because he views himself as burdensome.

[Which can unfortunately result in being overgenerous with people who treat him well.]

[bookpapers]

[he frowns at that, immediately pinged…]

…It’s hard to shake that kind of thing off. I know a friend who only managed it because she left everyone who made her feel that way.
