Middlemist Academy of Flora discussion

Taught by _______, _______, ______, and ______

Azzy sweats, fingers coated in his dark blood as he plucked the last thorn from his skin. Cursing softly, the male glances at the giant rose bush that had practically exploded from the seeds he had planted merely an hour ago. Guess that super syrum had worked, a bit too much though.
Rubbing his forehead with the heel of his hand, the male grunts and looks at his desk, grumbling softly as he flicked the abnormally large thorn into the trashbin.

Pheridia stepped into the room, her arms wrapped firmly around her stack of papers, a pair of gloves were on her hands and she sighed. "What did you do this time?" She pulled her herbal sanitizer out, wiping down a full chair before sitting in it. "I'd help but you're a bit messy"

Azzy laughs softly, wiggling his fingers teasingly before grabbing a tissue and some Band-Aids to patch himself up. "I'm surprised you even came in here." he laughs softly, tossing the wrappers into the bin and walking over to the rose bush.
"Making a super serum for the gardeners, y'know for the kids who can't grow things as well." he plucks one of the roses and twirls it. "Beautiful, aren't they?" he sighs

"Dangerous. You need to stop, some day you're going to hurt yourself and I'm going to have to help you. Neither of us are going to be happy." With a roll of her eyes she crossed her legs. "Wash your hands." She plucked a few berries from her small bush in her pocket, tossing the orange 'soap bombs' to him. One of her Orchid Mantis' squeaked to her jerking, grabbing onto her collar.

Azzy hums, dropping the rose into a bundle of flowers he had settled into a glass vase full of water. "Yeah yeah, I survived a lot worse." he grumbles, hand lifting to clench the locket around his neck. He mutters a soft prayer before going to the sink and washing his hands with the soap bomb.
"How are you holding up, with all these new students?"

Pheridia's nose wrinkled and she shook her head slightly. "Unbelievable. These kids don't take me seriously. One of them got a chemical burn from a plant because they wouldn't wear their gloves, then tried to Wipe it on me. Thankfully I caught them in time but I still don't feel clean because of it." the rambling has begun. "Also encountered a Amorphophallus titanum, still won't come out of my clothes." she gaged to the sound of it.

The male nodded, listening to her tangent as he cleaned his arms of blood and watched his scabs slowly heal. Azzy chuckles, filling a pitcher with water before going over to a plant he had in the corner.
"You take a shower?" he says lightly. "I still have a bunch of those soaps you lent me in the back." he chuckles and moves to a hanging plant, having no trouble reaching it.

"I am Not taking a shower here Azzy. Do you know how many germs are crawling in the locker room?" tsking Pheridia stood. "Keep the soap, even if I wanted to use it I couldn't bring myself to touch it." the red-head watched the cells on her hand shift, the orange tint darkening. "Plus, they're probably out of date. Organic stuff only goes so far." She smirked, giggling.

//also can't read spoilers so-//

//hmmm okay//

Azzy rolls his eyes. "You gave them to me last week , there's no way they expired that quickly." he claims, setting the pitcher down on the windowsill and looking at her. "I don't let anybody back there, the only thing that goes in there are Marson's pet food." he rolls his eyes. "The kid stressed me out when he barged in here on the first day with a newborn bird, which bless it's little heart, had broken a wing."

//:(//


"When is your next class?" She had planned this, yes, and packed clothes in case he let her. "Just so I know how long I have." Pheridia's arm shifted, brushing the table beside her. A look of horror found the druids face before she pulled off her sweater, scrubbing the skin harshly.

"In forty five minutes or so- hey woah!" the male gently grabbed her arm, a fresh paper towel separating his skin from her's as he yanked her arm away. "Hey- remember last time you did that?" he points to the fading scratches on her leg. "Hey, calm down. You're okay, let me get some soap so you don't scrub off your skin."

At first, the touch was surprising and she glanced at the hand that grabbed her although relief flooded her bones at the sight of the paper. "I got some." Her hands grasped at the berries in her pocket, popping them and slathering them over her exposed flesh. "Thanks." Pheridia mumbled.

Azzy nods, concern in his gaze as he sets himself down on the desk across from her. "It's getting worse?" he asks lightly, eyeing the scratches. "Or is it just the anxiety of all these kids?" He was gentle, calm about it all.

"You know, I honestly don't know." Pher hummed. "Probably the anxiety of things but it's likely just the kids. I can handle it though. Hows Sierran?" easier to talk about someone else "I saw her yesterday, she's gotten so big."

Azzy licks his lips. eyes flickering to her for a moment, "Yeah, it's really stressful." he agrees. "I;m here if you need help though." he says, like always. The male's eyes flicker to the flowers. "Sierran? Oh she's good, I hope. The kid's shut me off since the fire." he clutches onto the locket, pressing his fingers into the cold metal.

"I'm just ready for her to bring you this boyfriend. I can already imagine your reaction." Giggling softly Pheridia leaned back, her arm catching on the side of the chair. "And don't worry, I have a feeling something will click and she'll realize that it doesn't hurt to rely on others emotionally."

He laughs softly, "Gods you think? I hope so." he grins sheepishly and rubs his cheek. The male closes his eyes though, and hums. "she takes after her mother too much." he sighs. "looks like her too." he fumbles with the locket's latch,

"And that's my cue, I can't handle Sad Azzy." She giggled and stood, stepping up and looking around. Pher shook her head, wiping down the door handle before opening it. "I'll see you during lunch" She saluted.

The male pouts playfully, snapping out of his daze. "Fine fine, see you during lunch, don't scratch yourself or I'll have Marson send one of his cleanest animals over there and cuddle you." he threats

"Even the cleanest probably isn't enough. Animals are gross." Pher looked at the male with a disgusted expression. "And no promises. You know I can't control it. And even when I do it's for a couple of seconds, and unless I'm directly beside a sink it's hard. Oh well." Shrugging Pheridia stepped outside.

The male sighs and shakes his head, grinning as he followed her out. "Just don't bleed all over yourself like last time, I swear I almost pissed myself and scared your class last year when I kicked the door down."

"You're ridiculous, the way I remember it was I was only bleeding a little bit and you over-exaggerated. " Pher grabbed his shoulder before she left, smiling easily. "Thank you though. A gentle pat on her part before she turned and walked away."

He blinks, stunned for a moment before he rolls his eyes and laughs, walking back into his classroom and preparing for his students.
