Not a NEW experience he supposed, but the first in a long time. Were he at home he was fairly certain that his family would have set up a meeting with some tutor or training session, either for his benefit or to curry favor with another family. Or worse, tea with a noble's son or daughter who was a fan and was less than subtle in their interests in his 'body of work'. It was frankly a wonder his parents kept trying their hand at those, considering the sheer number he'd feigned obliviousness through. All that said, they were atleast better than the alternative his was discovering now. Lorcan was...bored. Terribly so. And he really had no clue as to how to deal with that fact. Pestering Isobel was an option but...given last night she might still be in a foul mood. Best leave her be for the time. The fact she was probably still asleep also made that a somewhat suicidal prospect. [color=69DCAC]”The hell do commoners do all day?"[/color] He grumbled as he walked the school grounds before his eyes caught a vaguely familiar glint of black hair. Ah yes, the upstart from yesterday who'd managed to calm Isobel's attempted rampage. He'd nearly forgotten about him. Nearly being the operative word here. And given how much Albus apparently new of his cousin's private matters... [color=69DCAC]"We've certainly the morning for it."[/color] Lorcan called out, his voice calm and sweet as he approached despite the rising urge to grind his teeth together. The other man looked to be practicing some sort of martial art. Not a terribly combat effective one if looks were to be believed. The estoc resting on the tree, however, was a little bit more note worthy. [color=69DCAC]"Please forgive the intrusion, but...I noticed your weapon from across the way. Thought you might fancy a sparring match."[/color] He lied, making sure to for-go giving his name just in case. It'd be better to get the boy relaxed BEFORE he interrogated him, and fudging his own skill to make it look like they were evenly matched wouldn't be too great a challenge. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/190423/349e15114eff6812ab15dc44ed45da92.png[/img][/center] Odhra looked like he wished to sink twelve feet into the floor and stay there when Baily spoke, face going a little red as he turned to Floofel. [color=5faa3c]"Raspberry tea with no sugar please."[/color] He said quickly, hoping if he ignored that mistake nobody would notice. Upon receiving the high praise of Eva Baily squeezed the octopus plushie hard enough that its teeth chattered and smiled at the smaller girl, tail trashing wildly with joy. Livia's comment, however, brought a small pout to her lips. [color=82ca9d]"But my phrasing was accurate?"[/color] She defended halfheartedly. [color=82ca9d]"Master said you engaged in intercourse for about an hour. He even mentioned you wanted him to take out his big boy at the start! He also mentioned he was concerned about your elevated heart rate afterwards and said I should keep an eye out for possible sighs of exhaustion."[/color] She elaborated. [color=5faa3c]"B-Baily!"[/color] Odhra yelped, quickly rushing over and gently putting a hand over his summons mouth before she said something even worse. [color=5faa3c]"She uh...she means Bubbles. Livia asked to borrow Bubbles for the ritual..."[/color] He corrected quietly, shooting Livia an apologetic look. Turning back to his summon, removing his hand before speaking. [color=5faa3c]"Baily, I know you're not meaning to baby but...most folks would use the word 'discourse' in this context. Intercourse implies more...private subjects."[/color] He said, carefully side eying Eva to make sure he wasn't giving to much away. The spider girl looked curiously between her master and Livia, brows knit furiously together as she attempted to piece together what she did wrong. After a moment, her eyes light up and she let out a keening series of chirps that could only be interpreted as laughter. [color=82ca9d]"Oh! You mean that I was implicating you and Flesh Body Livia as having had engaged in se-"[/color] She began, the S bomb only being prevented as Odhra quickly replaced his hand over his summons mouth. [color=5faa3c]"Successful summoning ritual yes!"[/color] Odhra said quickly, feeling he nailed that recovery despite the panic in his voice and shooting Eva a strained smile. There was an awkward silence for a moment before an idea struck. [color=5faa3c]"Oh, Baily, you wanted to introduce Eva and Floofel to Mr. Teethapus right?"[/color] he asked softly and allowing the Summon to speak once more. Bailys eyes light up as she practically leaps over to Eva's side. [color=82ca9d]"YES YES!"[/color] She blurted too loudly, eagerly holding the be-molared Mollusc out for Eva's approval. [color=82ca9d]"Master got me a toy after I learned how to draw blood on my own! His name is Mr. Teethapus. He is a morphologically inaccurate octopus with a morphologically accurate scale model set of Flesh Body Chewing structures!"[/color] She explained rather unnecessarily. The plush in question stares at Eva, its wide set friendly eyes staring into the abyss of existence as its tentacles flopped limply in the air. [color=82ca9d]"Master says they are used in oral hygiene practices to put children at ease. I find this to be a wonderful idea!"[/color] she adds, hugging the large plush toy, its tombstone teeth clacking slightly at the motion.
