“. . . I, see. Erm,I’d appreciate it you reframed from lapsing into that with me.

Way to make me feel old and all that jazz. Though I’m certainly not as youthful as most of you students-“

[Xanthe Leonidas @GoldenxLeonidas]

"I apologise. Where I'm from we were taught to honour our elders. Old habits die hard sometimes."

She explained, still she would stay where she was to allow them to pass if she wished.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

When the other stepped to the side and bowed, they stopped entirely.

“—? You don’t have to treat a teacher so ceremoniously, miss…”

That was confusing for someone like them.

[Xanthe Leonidas @GoldenxLeonidas]

(@BlightFilled)

Spotting the other class' homeroom teacher in the hallway she stepped aside to give them a clear path through and bowing her head slightly as a simple show of respect.

“I wish I could say the same. Though I truly hope these kids do slow down a tad. Who knows what’ll come next for them after all.”

[Mayu Kasumi @ShadowxCameo]

"It's difficult and yet, when those times have passed, you'd give anything to have them back. Children of all ages grow up much too fast."

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

This time, they’re standing still, not interrupting it at all.

[𝗧𝗢𝗞Y𝗢 @stealthmxde]

Places another hockey puck down and hits it with the stick.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

“Go ahead.”

[𝗧𝗢𝗞Y𝗢 @stealthmxde]

"Really ? I can try again ?"

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

“I’m envious of how fondly you speak of it, really. It’s nice to see someone can make such an expression.��

[Mayu Kasumi @ShadowxCameo]

"It's immensely hard work and requires a lot of sacrifices and endless tough choices. But it's all truly a labour of love. It's a love that you can't describe until you've felt it."

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

“… I’d like to think it’s those loyalties that the kids are blessed to have.

Being able to continue to live while working with such responsibility on one’s back, I can’t imagine it.”

[Mayu Kasumi @ShadowxCameo]

"Looking after a child while trying to study is no mean feat. Though I'm pleased that the school has supported them to continue their studies rather than giving them an ultimatum."

Yeah, she'd know a thing or two about becoming a teenage mother and how difficult it was.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

“Oh I’m sorry was I supposed to let it detonate-? Go ahead we can try it again.”

[𝗧𝗢𝗞Y𝗢 @stealthmxde]

"... You're no fun. No one ever lets me be chaotic around here."

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

They don’t fight nearly as often, and when they do… it somewhat reminds me their still at least immature in some ways. To enjoy the last fleeting moments of their youth.”

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

“Frankly, I believe they’ve grown up too fast for their ages. Some already have homes for when they graduate, one has a child, several already have agencies interested or part time jobs alongside their studies.

With mine, the fighting is bad but- I quite enjoy it.

"It's better for them to grow too much than to go out there ill-prepared. My second years definitely need a lot of work put into them over the next two years to get them to that point. They all show amazing potential but many of them are still trying to come to grips with ---

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

“You say that, but I feel you’ve more experience with fledgelings than I. Mine have grown too much already I’d say—-

Though I’m not all that saddened over it. It’s less work when they know discipline.”

[Mayu Kasumi @ShadowxCameo]

"Perhaps it will be good for them. They'll be fending for themselves when they graduate, they need to figure out their niches. Fledglings have to make practice flights first, don't they?"

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

Snatches it out of the air

Douses the firecracker via letting it sink into their hand.

[𝗧𝗢𝗞Y𝗢 @stealthmxde]

Sends a firecracker taped to a hockey puck towards the reader.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

“Ironically you’d be surprised. Things started calming down when the more… chaotic ones started leaving the dorms more.

Though I fear for their reputation-“

[Mayu Kasumi @ShadowxCameo]

"Precisely. Besides, I'm certain you have enough to worry about with that class of yours."

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

“Very true. Paranoia kills almost as much as the things one worries over.”

[Mayu Kasumi @ShadowxCameo]

"That is a good point. Though worrying about omens that may never come to pass could cause issues in and of itself."

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

“Unfortunately, I do.

But that’s more because, there’s probably a quirk out there that can make those a reality.”

[Mayu Kasumi @ShadowxCameo]

"Unlikely. I don't believe in bad omens, only precursory events."

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

“Who knows. If my elder believes it it might just be my bad omen-“

[Mayu Kasumi @ShadowxCameo]

"Then you'll probably be fine."

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

“I certainly don’t feel like it right now, so who knows.”

[Mayu Kasumi @ShadowxCameo]

"To be fair I said that they made me feel decrepit, not that I was. You might still feel like a spring chicken in two years time."

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

“. . . If that’s decrepit I’m two years away from being on the chopping block.”

[Mayu Kasumi @ShadowxCameo]

"I'm 30, all of these twenty-something teachers are out here making me feel decrepit."

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 @BlightFilled]

“ you look too young to be making such a claim- “

[Mayu Kasumi @ShadowxCameo]

"So many young looking teachers these days... shiiit I'm just getting old."
