@howIers       rest assured, limbs can be easy re-attached or re-constructed. there’s nothing to worry for,      [lips curl into a wider smile, the expression on the hellhound only bringing more amusement before a chuckle escapes.]      well, it’s good you didn’t to stay for such a horrific sight. surely it would traumatized you.

       ``   worse?    "     disbelieving,  garmr raises an eyebrow at the poor tasting joke.   he sets his pen down,  raising his head from the palm that held it up.  ears pin back,  unimpressed.   ``    you have horrifically poor humour, taotie.  who knows who was on standby -- i was only there for the third one.   " 

@howIers        i was imaging worse, perhaps you should have waited for the fourth before making any attempt to stop it.      [a reference which only the entity could understand, but a smile is brought up to his lips as he shuts the novel,]       a joke msde in poor taste. are those students alright? i’m ‘praying’ we had a medic on standby.
            
            
            *  four usually is an unlucky number in Asia  + signifies death for context

@howIers        you could understand why, a flesh-eating demon doesn’t always bode well. does it?

       ``    yeah, you could say that.  It's quiet in here, and the students don't really head this way often.   " 

@howIers        while i typically have no qualms with your personal affairs, does sleeping in my office offer you a new sort of solace?

@howIers       is that not a natural aversion? or should i let you see the way my flesh melts when approached by such an object.      [as if to tease, the platinum-haired demon only takes a singular step forward. a light, small click of the end of his heel as a smile stretches, a brief show of his canines when doing so. when the teacher lifts the box finally, taotie finally feels as though he can relax as garmr handles the harder work.]      a myth? well, if it’s wood i can certainly burn it. there’s been plenty of priests that have tried to get rid of me by using those, a pathetic display  —-    but endearing   . . humans are funny that way.    (oh),    you can leave it right there, thank you.

        ``    right.    "     he sighs,  rolling out his shoulders.   work, it's always work for him.  garmr flexes his jaw,  squatting down to hoit the box as it rests over his forearms.  he stands back up, eyeing the averse lean away.   ``    i always thought it was a myth.  it's kinda funny to see you avoid some crosses.   " 

@howIers      in any way that you can. you surely have the muscle for it, so you can carry these boxes near my desk.      [taotie replies, an expectant look beneath the glint of his glasses. arms carefully crossing against his chest as his body is leant away from whatever is inside of the box,]      i’m not particularly fond of crucifixes. so instead, i’d rather have you drag them along.

Maybe also (?) a founder of Blackwood concord academy but he’s a little lowkey about that.. #Shy

⠀⠀⠀⠀what, you don't like them?   ﹙despite the childish dejection in his tone, the boisterous grin remains plastered to his face. he keeps the poorly designed pair on the paper in the air. ﹚   I thought they captured us pretty well! 

*   @crseborne  ›    matching tattoos?  (are you crazy?)..    [ the tattoo artist offers an incredulous look,  grey orifices slipping to the platinum blonde.  lips drawn into a tight,  thin line in order to restrain the frown that threatened to show. ]    you can’t be serious.

⠀⠀⠀wh --  can't you tell?  i've designed us matching tattoos (人´∀`)♪

⠀⠀   hey, a good partner shows interest in his companions' passions!  

*   @crseborne  ›    it’s not worth much of your interest.  who knew a picture on paper could enrapture you.

⠀⠀⠀i am nosy, yes, but only because there's something worth my interest!    lemme see -   ﹙he holds out a hand, curling his fingers in a brief grabbing motion. ﹚
