CONSTANZA The blonde choked on his beer when Jules tried, once again, to get a DNA sample from Gray and the look on the albino's face. [b]"You know, Jules. Usually, I would help Dorian. But since she decided to betray me and plot against me with Caron, I might just help you get a DNA sample from her."[/b], he said with an attempt on an evil smirk. To make his point he got up from the booth where he was sitting and went to sit in the one next to Jules. From behind the bar Deanna was looking in amusement at the small group antics. [b]"From now on, Jules and I are Team Constanza."[/b], John sometimes could be as annoyingly childish as Theo when it strikes his humour, especially if it means being able to annoy Caron out of his mind, [b]"And we don't accept little albino-backstabbers-pixies and their domesticated agents."[/b], he finished his beer and waited for Deanna to refill it, [b]"Now, Jules... I've been meaning to ask if you're still up to... Experiment with some things I got from the 'fae market', you see... I just got my hands in some good stuff..."[/b], it wasn't any secret that Constanza is used to deal on the cryptid equivalent to a black market, actually, it was because of said dealings that years ago he had to go into hiding. DORIAN Red, half-lidded eyes stared at Jules when the doctor tried, again, to trick Dorian into giving her a DNA sample, however, the smirk on the corner of the albino lips made it clear that Dorian saw that as a joke, [b]"Keep trying, Jules. Who knows, maybe one day you will get a sample and find out that I'm actually God and the Earth is my sandbox."[/b], it was always funny to see the theories Jules would come up with to explain why Dorian hasn't changed since she knew the girl, but if someone should be suspicious it would be Constanza and Whirt, but Dorian is sure Jules had read the files about the albino, [b]"And Constanza, stop being such a baby. We didn't betray you. How was I supposed to imagine that... That thing would try and make you his bride."[/b], she couldn't even finish without laughing when remembering the scene [b]"Jules... I'll send you the pictures. Constanza was such a pretty bride, don't you think so, Care-bear?"[/b] It wasn't just Caron who suffers on her hand. Everyone shares that same fate. However, when Caron compared her with a rabid werewolf, she looked at him with those red eyes looking even bigger and brighter as if Caron had just double-crossed her, but in reality, she's just messing with him, [b]"How could you, Caron. And here I thought that after all those years we were friends, and you just stabbed me on the back like this. No more cookies for you."[/b], she said, [b]"Or flans... Or even cakes... Or pancakes... A rabid werewolf... Now how can I stay on Team Care-Bear?"[/b], okay. Teasing him is just too much fun to pass up. THEODORE [b]"They're adults, love. I'm not responsible for their idiocy."[/b], was his emotionless reply about one of his students becoming a victim, [b]"Once upon a time I made a mistake that almost cost my life, and that could have cost the life of my brother, and you won't ever see me blaming someone other than myself. Usually, more than half of my students will drop before mid-semester and find something else they would 'love' to study. These people don't have the drive needed to actually learn about other creatures and take that seriously enough. Because at the first obstacle they will simply give up and find something easier."[/b], he said, [b]"People like that will be only wasting my time in the long run."[/b] Theo rolled his eyes closed when he saw coffee-girl being all apologetic, and here he thought she had made some progress, finally looking him in the eyes and speaking her mind. But he would have time to train her well as his assistant. [b]"Stop apologizing, love. You did nothing wrong."[/b], he said dismissing her apologies, [b]"Your opinions are as valid as mine. Just remember, as Harlan Ellison said, "You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your [i]informed[/i] opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant". And that's my problem with most of my students. Some of them as just ignorant and has no drive to change that posture."[/b], he wanted more of the coffee she brought him, [b]"Do you know why I choose you as my assistant, love? I did because you were looking like you wished to turn invisible, but at the same time, you never missed one of my lectures. Your fear of me did not stop your desire to learn."[/b], compared to her and to other students that overcame that fear, he just had no interest in the others. And he also is a sadist son of a bitch, so that's that too. Theo nodded in agreement about her restrictions regarding her schedule and when she said she would send her papers right away. [b]"Yes. As you said yourself, love, they don't usually like other cryptids blood, even when it comes to their eating habits they would stick mostly to human blood. So you can imagine my curiosity about what kind of cryptid could lead them to base their entire religion around its blood."[/b]
