[ Fandaniel can inevitably be found bidding his "students" farewell from one of his classes. ]
And remember, the first ten chapters need to be read by tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your daaay.
[ He calls cheerfully to the Extras as they scuttle away, trying not to look too frantic about the enormous reading requirement. It's Mr. Fandaniel, after all! Sure, it's a lot, but who wants to let him down? What if they make him sad?! ]
[He waits politely in the halls, a wave or two at students with his free hand while they whisper and keep their distance from him and his suspiciously large prop. It's only when most of them have freely dispersed that Solomon raises a hand in greeting towards his fellow professor.]
Fandaniel! I caught you at a good time, I see. [He's clearly busy but Solomon keeps talking anyway.] Would you like to try something out with me?
Hmm, would I like to try something out with you? [ He'll match the energy of Solomon's own smile and cheerily suggest, ] That depends. Is it lovingly wrapping my fingers around your delicate neck?
[ Sure, that's a threat the choke him and all, but it sounds suggestive enough to make the one or two lingering extras giggle and scurry off to whisper among themselves. ]
Of course, what that would have to do with a giant cany cane, I cannot imagine.
Oh? You would trust me with such a delicate act? Why, Solomon, what if I crush your glistening bud before it has a chance to bloom?
[ No, he's here to corrupt the students, and it will continue until one of these two old man decide to stop talking to one another permanently (which means never, of course, but one can hope).
But it's a quick enough way to finish the task, so who's he to say no? ]
Very well. [ He'll slide a step closer to Solomon, raising a hand. ] How would you like to do this? Out here in the hallway? Somewhere more private~?
[ Much easier to rip it out like a huge jerk when the extras aren't about, after all. ]
Perfect! If you'll follow me, please -- Ah, well, whenever you're ready, I suppose.
[You'd think he didn't have a care in the world for how casually he just turns around and practically bounces his way down the hall. Checking, checking -- yep, cool, coast is clear! In he goes, time to clear a little space with the desks in the back as faaaar away from the door as possible.]
[ With a shrug, he follows, trailing along after as Solomon checks classroom after classroom until he finds what he's looking for. He won't offer to help move anything, of course, meaning all he does is watch on with some vague amusement. ]
[ He'll even kindly skip over any bawdy joke he might have for 'tumbling all over'. However, Fandaniel isn't one to let another control the entire show. He'll certainly walk closer and offer a hand to Solomon, but he'll follow that hand in, sweeping up extremely close to the other man.
If he can swoop his other arm around Solomon's waist, he will. ]
But it would be far more princely for me to sweep you off your feet, wouldn't it?
[ Sweep him off his feet... maybe drop him on the floor in the process... ]
[Given that there's a 4 inch difference in height between them this is a very funny mental image
Anyway, that quick a break in personal space does, finally, catch Solomon off guard. Tension in the grip that holds Fandaniel's loose hand, stiffness in his posture. A brief flash, here and gone in brassy eyes that look down on Fandaniel with something only adjacent to humor.]
Easy there, "beloved professor". [He guides that palm right to his chest without further preamble.]
[ Tension, a flash, and Fandaniel's left smiling like a cat who's caught the canary, content to see such a reaction. It would seem he's seen as a threat after all. ]
Of course. You would not be the first who's sought my help with this.
[ He'll press his palm firmly against Solomon's chest, slowly, ever so slowly, plunging it in past flesh and bone and into whatever void where these flowers exist. He's surprisingly gentle about it, at least this part, and if that at all unbalanced Solomon, he'll take the opportunity to dip the man just so, like the princess he's truly meant to be in this situation. ]
[He's at least able to keep his balance, bracing as though he mostly expects what's to come and watching it with mild fascination. There's a flinch and a shaking exhale when the pressure gives, eyes eventually drifting shut in concentration at how brutally slow the pace runs. When Fandaniel's fingers find their mark, it earns a sharp jolt and a shiver that goes clear down his back.
He hates how his face has colored, but there's no helping it.]
M-mhmm. You sure are taking your time with this...
[ Fandaniel watches the reactions with rapt attention, amused at how Solomon shivers and reddens. People are so simple when it comes to touch, although he suspects the task was designed to be just so. ]
Am I? [ He asks oh so innocently as he lingers within Solomon's chest, toying with him while he can. ] Shall I speed this up, then?
[ He won't wait for an answer. He'll pair pleasure with an abrupt roughness, then, wrapping his fingers around the flower's bud and ripping it out as harshly as he can. All at Solomon's request, of course. Right? ]
Enjoy the immediate scream in the split second before Solomon can slap a hand over his own mouth.
At least the flower looks fine! It's a brilliantly deep, warm blue bud.
Solomon rips himself from Fandaniel's grip as soon as he can tell he's free, hand still clasped to his mouth as his spare one blindly fumbles for one of the desks to support himself, a nauseous look on his face and a sweating pallor across his brow. But there's no venom tossed at Fandaniel. Only enough moments, enough shaking breaths, to try to calm down the stars in his vision and the pounding in his chest, a mismatch of sensation that takes its time to settle.]
Contrary bastard, aren't you... hah. [He swallows thickly, slowly pushing himself to a steadier footing as he gestures him back over. Not done yet, come on.]
[ Music to his ears. His smile never falters. If anything, it only grows while he watches Solomon's distress. ]
My, you're nothing but complaints. Oh, Fandaniel, you're going too slow. Oh, Fandaniel, that was too fast. Goodness, Solomon, you must make for an intolerable lover.
[ Not that it matters. Fandaniel's just being mean, and, frankly, he was probably going to yank it out, complaint or no complaint. He'll hold the flower up, twirling the deep blue bud between his fingers, and step over to him once more.
At least he won't drag this part out. He'll simply reach up and duck the bud behind one of his ears. ]
And here I was about to praise you for showing more genuine colors.
[He's seen that cynicism sneak out already in the forum, in the jabs and mean-spirited remarks. Why bother to hide it behind a mask? Bare bones civility to keep towards an end goal, perhaps?
His sigh is ragged, but what anger that has peaked is simmering down as he plucks up his candy cane, still loose in one hand as he rolls his shoulders. Ugh. Ugh. He hates how he's feeling right now.]
Hold your arms out. This might look foolish, but I promise it will only take a second to test.
True colors will always show through. You'll have plenty of time to see the rest of them.
[ As if he could somehow get worse. He can, of course. He always can. There, though. Solomon's taken up the candy cane prop again, and Fandaniel can't help but tilt his head, looking at it curiously. What is he even...?
Fine. He'll hold his arms out. He plays the fool regularly enough, so why not? ]
[With the candy cane in hand, he balances the highest point of the crook against his palm, measuring it against Fandaniel's arms as though he intends to drop it. It's not a far distance and would hook very easily, so the preparation looks a little silly.
Still, he seems very focused, as though he's mentally counting down, mouthing:
He immediately pivots the entire candy cane in his hand and swings it like a baseball bat, very hard, against the broadside of Fandaniel's shins, before immediately making a beeline for the door.]
[ That sure solves that mystery. The candy cane cracks across his shins before he can react, and he lets out a shout. It's more angry than it is pained, but he can assure you, it did hurt. ]
You...! [ He staggers, turning too slow to catch Solomon as he rushes by. ] That's why you...?!
[ The candy cane was a weapon this entire time! Perposterous! ]
How else was I supposed to make it genuine emotion?!
[Said as he whips the lock open and stumbles out into the hallway. He still feels like SO MUCH DIRT but there is a boyish sort of sadistic glee as he breaks into a run.
Come on, nihilism boy. Come, live a little, live for five more minutes so you can chase him for his sins. live and feel something.]
[ Oh, he gives chase, lunging out of the door after he's scampered off further and throwing out an arm to make a gesture, only— right. Nothing. Not a lick of magic. ]
...stupid, useless...!
[ He wasn't lying completely before! He only has so much aether to keep this body going! Now this man wants him to chase him about?! ]
[Ah, THAT looks like a spell attempt. Mood, buddy, but also: lolololol get recktd.]
Tsk tsk - come now, Fandaniel! [He pivots on his heel at the end of the hall to face him, hands framing his face in a pointing gesture that also neatly shows the bud at his ear has already started opening.] You said you'd help me with a test, so I hope you'll commit to the end!

One of the classrooms looked empty when I walked by, but if you want more of a walk, I'm sure we can find somewhere else.
