Office Hours--Divinations

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri decided it had been long enough since he had opened his office. There were other factors influencing this decision, but a good part of it was he felt he was neglecting his duty.

Outside his office door and several other places around the school, signs appeared declaring the Divinations office open for any students who wished to talk, to consult, or who just happened to wander by.

Kusuriyuri knelt behind his table, shincha brewing as it was the season for it, waiting for any who would come in, wondering if a particular one would come in.

OOC: Yeah, this is a 'trap' for a particular character, but is also regular office hours. And, if you're particularly interested in a type of divination or anything else you'd like to see Kusu teach, feel free to mention it :D

Kusuriyuri held his hand out for Wishbone. "That does sound quite fulfilling," he said solemnly.

[woocha.livejournal.com]

It is! Ah, to be a dog. Other than helping injured people, how have you been?

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"This one has been well," Kusuriyuri replied, scratching Wishbone's back. "He is curious if there is anything his students would desire to know."

[woocha.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't have anything specific I want to know. I just like visiting my friends!

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"Visiting is very nice," Kusuriyuri replied solemnly. "This one is glad to see Wishbone when he visits."

[woocha.livejournal.com]

Yeah! And it's becoming warm out, so A's garden will get nice and pretty and I can take naps there!

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"Wishbone finds much to do," Kusuriyuri mused, scratching the dog's head. "That is good."

He considered a moment. "Can you tell, from smell, if someone is a male or female?" he asked.

[woocha.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can, if I concentrate. Why?

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"There is one who will smell of both, and quite possibly of blood. Avoid that one," Kusuriyuri said. "One who calls himself Apos."

[woocha.livejournal.com]

Wishbone looked alarmed, or at least as alarmed as a dog could look. He's a bad person like the invisible guy and the L-lookalike?

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"One who wishes to cause harm, yes. But, you may avoid him and there is no need for concern," Kusuriyuri replied, continuing to caress Wishbone's head.

[woocha.livejournal.com]

Right! I can outrun him! Well, maybe, do you know how fast dogs run?

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"Wishbone is small, as well. He will be able to hide in places that that one cannot reach." At least until Apos learned enough magic.

That was another problem, one to be addressed with the others, not with Wishbone, though.

"Find one of us, Kurama, this one, Yukimura, Kuronue, Near or Mello, if needed," Kusuriyuri suggested, naming those he could think of that would do what they could to defend the dog for one reason or the other.

[woocha.livejournal.com]

Okay! Wishbone said resolutely, standing at attention. And I am good at hiding!

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"That is good," Kusuriyuri replied, his tone indicating approval of the dog's attitude. "It would be better to avoid that one, and we will hope that one has no interest in animals."

[woocha.livejournal.com]

Right! And Wishbone got closer, to seal the deal with scratches.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri scratched Wishbone as requested. "Have you met anyone new?" he asked, changing the subject.

[woocha.livejournal.com]

I met Drosselmeyer! He told me a very good story. Wishbone's ears drooped. It was a very sad story, but sometimes stories just don't have happy endings.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"That is so," Kusuriyuri replied. "So, you have found one with similar tastes in stories. That is good."

[woocha.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He's a good storyteller. Wishbone frowned doggy-style. But the bat-person is a bad person!

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"The bat-person?" Kusuriyuri asked. "Kuronue? Why does Wishbone think him a bad person?" It was a combination of curiosity and amusement that caused Kusuriyuri to ask.

[woocha.livejournal.com]

He says and does things I don't like! Wishbone said, hiding his face.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri caressed Wishbone's head. "He is a demon. Not all demons are used to being around those who are not and many demons will act in their own interest."

[woocha.livejournal.com]

Even when they do...naughty things?

Granted, there was now that thing that Kojiro did, but Wishbone doesn't know that.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri considered a moment. "Not all see those things as naughty," he said softly. "They should be considerate of those around them, but the actions are not evil."
