[center][h1][color=lightslategray]Ceiran Strivelyn[/color][/h1][/center][hr] He had no idea why she was laughing, he had been totally serious. He wasn't objecting, though. Laughter is a great thing. He listened to what she had to say before responding. [color=lightslategray]"I'd extend that to everybody, rather than just students. Complacency and contentment are the true negative attributes. Anger, sadness, suffering... they're necessary to motivate us to improve. Without them, we'd fizzle."[/color] He started off sounding rather enthusiastic, but grew into a more serious tone the further he went. Now, Ceiran was used to weird things happening, but this almost took the cake (nothing would be more odd than sharing your body with a demon). The space around them seemed off somehow. He couldn't place his finger on it, though. On top of that, Ms Mako seemed genuinely concerned, which was a nice contrast from the contempt he'd grown used to. [color=lightslategray]"You're a member of staff, right? Well... I officially notify you. Sorry, this isn't really something I like to talk about."[/color] He said this with a slightly resigned tone, like someone who's had to explain something too many times. He started to get up to go before realising she'd just told the whole table his secret. He turned his head towards her and raised a questioning eyebrow. He judged that the best thing to say was nothing. She knew her shit, and probably wasn't reckless enough to do something like that. [@Silver Carrot]
