Office #26, Wednesday

[chosehumanity]

Mitchell's nerves hadn't quite settled yet, but every day made a repeat visit from Herrick less likely - at least for the forseeable future. So Wednesday found him laying out lesson plans, flicking through books, and only occasionally checking travel books for somewhere safer.

Just as a precaution. He had no real willingness to let his past drive him out of house and home.

"I have no problem with people objectifying themselves," Mitchell told him, leaning back in his seat, "But I'm not going to stoop to that kind of barbarism when there's quality objectifying right around the corner."

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"So youlre going to aue that slow motion makes the objectification higher quality?"

[chosehumanity]

"No, I'm going to argue that the slow motion gets your attention," he said, with a slight snerk to his voice.

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"Well, it does," Max admitted with an easy grin. "And what gets yours?"

[chosehumanity]

"Come to one of my classes, and I might tell you."

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"Don't you teach on one of the days I sleep in, though?"

Oh, wait. That was every day.

[chosehumanity]

"There are days you don't sleep in?" Mitchell asked, shooting him an amused look. "And here I thought you were just a massive Roman sloth."

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"Aleran," Max corrected. The sloth part wasn't too inaccurate, though.

"And sometimes I wake up early." If he was feeling frisky and happened to be in bed with someone else who was.

[chosehumanity]

"Oh, really?" Mitchell asked, lowering his head. "When's that, then?"

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

Max leveled a disappointed lookar Mitchell. "One should never waste an opportunity for a little morning recreation. Being awake doesn't mean getting out of bed, you know."

[chosehumanity]

"This is not helping the sloth thing any," Mitchell had to inform him.

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"Why would I need help with my sloth? I'm pretty good at it as I am."

[chosehumanity]

"Yeah. I can tell."

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you're jealous," Max shrugged. "I can understand that, but not everyone can be as amazing as me."

[chosehumanity]

"Your modesty is a staggering example to us all, Max," Mitchell told him, and nodded at a chair.

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

Max eyed the chair and sighed. He totally should have satt down without an invitation. He had been on a roll.

"So what have you been up to?" he asked. "You didn't get involved in that weirdness a couple of weeks ago, did you?"

[chosehumanity]

"Only research," Mitchell said, showing no amusement at all at having been the one to show Max the chair. Really. "My sleeping was regular."

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"Mine too," Max admitted. "Good thing, too. Didn't sound like a very fun place to me."

[chosehumanity]

"To say the least. An island overran with vampires?"

Mitchell snorted.

"Arseholes must've ruined everything they could get their paws on."

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"Apparently, yeah." Max shrugged. "Don't have them back home, but they sound unpleasant."

[chosehumanity]

"Unpleasant?" Mitchell couldn't resist sharing. "More than that, my friend."

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"Well, good riddance, I suppose." Max shrugged. "Everything worked out alright in the end, after all."

Except, you know, all of that emotional fallout stuff. Fortunately Max was good at ignoring that sort of thing.

[chosehumanity]

Mitchell shrugged, once. He was about to go on a tangent - George would be able to see it coming from a mile away. "Bloody vampires," he said, "There's always some twat sticking his head up deciding to go take over the world," no issues there, really, "every couple of decades."

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"This happens pretty regularly where you're from, then? Do they just not learn from the past or something?"

[chosehumanity]

"Most of them don't even bother to learn about the past." Mitchell stretched out his limbs. "...or so I've heard."
