Teacher Room 2 -- Jade

[Asbel Lhant]

..So.. Curtiss-sensei watched t-the recording already...?? [he blushing shockly while remember his reckless action with Estelle on infirmary]

I'm sorry I was reckless that time.. and.. I did.. something.. rude.. t-to.. Estellise-san..

..I-I'm sorry Curtiss-sensei..

..

[nervous and speechless..]

[Jade Curtiss]

That was an accident, Mr. Lhant.

I'm sure she doesn't hold it against you.

[won't tell him what the suggestion was]

[Luke Fon Fabre]

...

Jade is right.. I should have told him.. But really, i don't want to distrub his rest, so.. *mumbling*

..I understand, Curtiss-sensei.. I.. I'll make sure to let you know.. Next time.. And I'm sorry for my recklessness..

*bow*

[Asbel Lhant]

...I hope so Curtiss-sensei...

..I'm really sorry for my reckless action yesterday, Curtiss-sensei. *bows*

[Jade Curtiss]

[looks for a long moment between the two]

Let me ask the two of you this:

What would you have done if you had found the cameras?

The recording would have already been made, and that equipment could be anywhere.

Here, the Teacher's Lounge, the Dorm Lounge--anywhere.

Would you have torn apart the school looking for that recording?

[Luke Fon Fabre]

..Uhh.. No! Ofcourse not! We..We wouldn't do anything like that!

We.. We will just..

*paused again*

[Asbel Lhant]

...No.. we won't do something like destroy the camera.
Actually I was just curious if my reckless action to Estellise-san recorded or not..
..sorry Curtiss-sensei *bows again*

[Luke Fon Fabre]

*bows too*

We're sorry! Curtiss-sensei!

[Jade Curtiss]

And reality sinks in....

You both put yourself in a position of betraying my trust without really thinking about the consequences.

[looks at Luke]

You've done that before, and I had hoped you would never do it again.

[pause]

However, both of you showed up here, which is a plus for both of you.

Also, neither one of you tried to blame the other--you both accepted responsibility. However, it's equal, so stop trying to take all the credit.

Or punishment.

[looks at them]

I think both of you have punished yourselves enough, so there really isn't any need for me to do so.

But, you both have a long way to go to regain the level of trust you once had with me. Luke has done it before, so I hope he can do it again.

Mr. Lhant, I really don't know you that well, but I will tell you this: I don't trust easily. And it's hard to regain my trust once it's lost. Luke knows this.

Words generally don't hold much value with me--actions do.

I will be watching both of you.

[pauses]

And before you ask, I'll show you what this is.

[holds up weird looking book with lens]

Mr. Lhant, hold out your arm.

[Asbel holds out arm while Jade runs the lens side of the book over his arm]

[After a moment, Jade opens the book]

It's a device to take pictures of the inside of the body. That's your arm, Mr. Lhant.

[looks at clock]

I believe Homeroom will be starting soon. I will give you both a note explaining why you're late.

[turns and writes notes while Luke and Asbel look at "picture"]

[Luke Fon Fabre]

..I know Ja- i..I mean Curtiss-sensei.. I'll try not to disappoint you again! I know it's hard for you to trust me again, but please! I'll.. I'll try my best not to do it again!

*finally smile* i promise! *bow again*

..Hm..? That book that i found yesterday?

*look at the picture*

Wow.. That's cool!

*amazed*

Oh yeah, that's right! Almost homeroom time!

[Asbel Lhant]

T-Thank you very much for forgive us Curtiss-sensei.

Today I got a valuable lesson from you sensei..

..I promise I won't do something reckless like that next time..

I-I will work hard to regain your trust to me, Curtiss-sensei

Thank you very much sensei *bows*


[looks at the picture]
yeah..the camera is cool Luke..

[Jade Curtiss]

{{Kratos isn't even here....so I guess...free time?}}

[hands notes over]

Here you are.

[stands and goes over to Luke]

[whispers]

You can stop shaking, Luke. The friendship will be fine.

{{PS. In America when two men hug--it's called a "man hug" not yaoi...LOL. But, people are afraid to touch Jade, anyway}}

[Asbel Lhant]

{{so what should we do now, Curtiss-sensei? er.. free time?}}

[receives the note from Jade]
Thank you so much Curtiss-sensei.

{{so that was not yaoi? great to hear that *nervous*}}

[Luke Fon Fabre]

*gulp and blush a bit when Jade whisper him*

..Uh..O..Okay.. I got it.. Jad- I mean, Curtiss-sensei..!

*tried to calm down and finally calmed down*

*smile a bit and say it with slow voice* ..Thank you Jade..

..Hmm.. I wonder if Kratos-sensei is already at homeroom? What should we do now?

{{Man hug, huh? That's to bad, LOL!!}}

[Jade Curtiss]

Well, I suggest the two of you find Mr. Aurion and explain what's going on.

If he's not here, then it's free time.

I hope to see both of you in MY class, however.
