Higurashi aftermath

[sharpasafawkes]

[IN OUR LAST EPISODE Shaun and Cesare had a little trip down to the labs, if by "trip" we mean "a magical adventure full of torture-filled antics". Needless to say there's one historian laid up in a hospital bed, more or less asleep and bandaged like you wouldn't believe.]

[This is a soft chuckle and then shaking his head, maximum length of time would be two years, at three full workdays a week, calculating for interest of course, and in case someone... "left" early.]

[maleborgia]

*now that is sounding more reasonable, at least. unfortunately it still ignores the fact that three days out of seven he will not have the time he needs to tend to other matters.*

[sharpasafawkes]

[But that still leaves most of the week, and isn't that more fair then any school he'd be attending?

And that would be shaun shuffling away a bit as zhores calmly puts a book away near him.]

[maleborgia]

*doesn't react to that, but he's watching :|

pointing out that he is, in fact, attending classes from a private tutor and is studying several subjects*

[sharpasafawkes]

["Then view it as extra credit" he also adds calmly that if Cesare is going to be so stubborn, perhaps he shouldn't use him after all...

And he places a hand on shaun's chair as he says it.]

[Shuffle shuffle shuffle AWAY from the smiling man.]

[maleborgia]

*DAMNIT SHAUN I'M NOT GOING TO SELL YOU STOP BEING SO NERVOUS AND GIVING HIM SOMETHING TO WORK WITH

but just smiling and saying that he would be able to do 12-5 Tuesday to Thursday*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Fifteen hours a week, for two years? ...he looks like he's thinking about it for a moment.

"Done. Come with me. I'll get the agreement for you to sign."]

[SO MUCH RELIEF FROM THE SHAUNBIRD]

[maleborgia]

*DON'T SHOW YOUR ANNOYANCE TO THE SHAUNBIRD, DON'T SHOW YOUR ANNOYANCE TO THE SHAUNBIRD... short gesture for him to wait there, follows Zhores*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Waiting THANK GOD.

Meanwhile Contract? Contract?]

[maleborgia]

*yes, will sign the contract, after arguing over and hashing out a few minor points*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Oh ~wonderful~]

[maleborgia]

*just going to have to suck it up and deal with it until he can find a way to trade out*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Giving him the normal talk, then tells him to come by a day from then for training]

[maleborgia]

*he'll see him there.

going back out and collecting Shaun*

[sharpasafawkes]

...Cesare?

[maleborgia]

*picked him up, striding out of the library, trying to keep a lid on his mood*

What is it?

[sharpasafawkes]

Thanks mate, that meant a lot.

[maleborgia]

Stop that. Someone needed to do it and clearly you're in no condition. If I could have passed it off on someone else, I would have. Tch, this will be annoying...

Are you ready to go back or do you have any other business to take care of?

[sharpasafawkes]

... No, no I'm fine.

[maleborgia]

Stop sulking.

[sharpasafawkes]

[Wasn't actually, more cautious than anything]

Right um, sorry about that. Can't really be a backseat driver here, so wherever you want to go is fine.

[maleborgia]

*not being your normal snarky self, then. whatever.*

I want something to eat. Are you hungry? *going to Canada \o*

[sharpasafawkes]

Famished, do you have any idea of what they feed you there?

[maleborgia]

No, not really.

[sharpasafawkes]

you're better off not knowing, now that I think about it...
