Ah, convincing a teacher why he shouldn't be given detention. A skill every [s]delinquent[/s] rogue should practice with impunity. Admittedly Via made things difficult (he kept telling they should go with the catapult idea), but what was life without a bit of a challenge. Switching to his diligent student face, he began to weave his [s]bullshit[/s] story.

[color=green]"Well, you see Professor, I was escorting some of our novice students through the secret passages to show them how to reach classes faster, with my good friend Will helping to watch out for dangerous critters. We were going to head straight for the main hall when we heard a commotion. By the time we reached there we found La'Tavia bound up underground. Rhea tried to dig her out, and got buried for her trouble. When me and Will tried to rescue her, the treants thought us also part of that group and pulled us under. Please don't punish them for misunderstanding the situation..."[/color]

The last statment was accentuated with the secret technique of puppy dog eyes. Admittedly the technique is better with Vivi, but he was an experienced user of it.
