18th Howl: After School Numbers Club, Summer School Edition [Action | Open]

[professorwolf]

Summer school got out earlier than school during the year proper, so Lyall had his classroom open from one until five in the afternoon, in case any students wanted to come by. There were a few games and a few decks of cards, and plenty of snacks, most of which he browsed on while he worked.

Lyall himself had some finishing up to do, as this was the last week of summer session, and he was leaving the week after anyway, so he needed to get everything graded and turned in early. So he was busy, but always ready to take a break if someone wanted or needed to chat.

Up to and including fellow teachers, one of which came by halfway through the afternoon acting very strangely....


((I'll have one thread for the oddly-acting teacher, that a couple people can join in with if they want to! this is plotty stuff :) otherwise, feel free make new threads if you wanna come visit!))

Had the subject not been talked through Anthony half-knew he wouldn't have been able to keep feeding it - inevitably shut off, leaving room for the sense of Am I in trouble? to rise up again, set in, and with that strike him frozen cold.

He tried holding eye contact - glanced aside after a blink, then back, and eyes fell down in giving-in, in two seconds' span. Anxious shake of his head " -- I... wasn't," he said, and stopped there, swallowed an "I'm sorry" that he hadn't meant until he'd gotten caught and was now prepared to be plainly disgusted by that fact, too.

He wasn't in any position to have anything to say for himself unless asked, he knew - that might be some better apology.
