Think I'm too old for this...

[OC RP]
Haha, alright, let's tone down the curse words, little lady. And while it would be entertaining, I'm sure I can handle this myself.

If I need back up, it's more to talk the administrators into seeing reason than beating anyone up. Surely we could take you to a sparring match or something?

(He chuckles again, locking his fingers behind his head and leaning back.)

Well, that's my plan, at least. We'll see if anything changes.
January 5, 2026 at 9:36 PM
Do I have to start monitoring you two when you spend time together..?
January 5, 2026 at 9:16 PM
(He just gives her a half smile, eyebrows raised.)
January 5, 2026 at 8:59 PM
(He chuckled.)

We won't need to beat anyone up, sorry to say.

*Not unless it escalates, but even then, it would be their parents...*
January 5, 2026 at 8:38 PM
(He chuckled softly, smiling at Lottie.)

I'd like to go first and talk to the administrators, let them know what's happening and see if we can make a change.

After that, maybe some back-up wouldn't be too bad.

(He squeezes Vero's shoulder gently.)

Lottie cares a lot about the important people in her life, and you're one of those important people.

And trust me, you'll know when she's actually upset.
January 4, 2026 at 6:37 PM
(He pats her back gently.)

Don't use "fucked up" at school, okay..? The teachers won't like it.

Lottie's right, people who are cruel will do whatever they want to nice people, just because they want to.

You should either take the notes to your teacher or bring them home and let us know.
January 4, 2026 at 7:18 AM
Lots—

(He sighs softly, taking Vero's shoulders gently.)

While I do agree it's best to not let them tease her at all, there has to have been a more delicate way to phrase that...

Though I will say, making sure they don't see you react is a decent way to get them to get bored.
January 4, 2026 at 6:41 AM
Knowing the intent of the notes doesn't change your opinion of them?

(He tilts his head curiously.)

I know it would for myself, though we are different individuals.
January 4, 2026 at 3:59 AM
Yes, it will be good to get the jump on this. Hopefully we can get them to make you nicer drawings.
January 3, 2026 at 6:36 PM
(He smiles at her.)

It's always good to help, Vero, don't beat yourself up.
January 3, 2026 at 12:49 AM
(He stands and helps them to their feet.)

Gracious, you two..! Careful...
January 2, 2026 at 10:48 PM
We love watching the stars with you too, and I doubt an astronomy club would hate one of their most enthusiastic members.

But we won't force you into anything, I promise.
January 2, 2026 at 9:59 PM
(He just glances at Lottie, looking worried.)

You aren't stupid, my dear, you just learn differently. You've a brilliant mind, I've seen it.

Perhaps there's an astronomy club available?
January 2, 2026 at 9:27 PM
(He sets a hand on her shoulder.)

Truth be told, I don't know why they're bullying you. Some people are just mean for no reason.
January 2, 2026 at 6:23 PM
I wouldn't mind having you learn self defense, it can be helpful in the future as well. But I'd like to take these to the teacher and see if they've noticed this behavior.

If they can get it to stop, we won't need any fights or pepper spray.
January 2, 2026 at 6:23 PM
Y... you finished that whole box already? Goodness.

Ah, but it's... if they decide to become meaner. These drawings are... rather mean-spirited, my dear.
January 2, 2026 at 7:36 AM
Hah, no, no, we won't beat them up. Adults shouldn't beat kids up.

(He shot a knowing glance at Lottie, sure that was her plan from the start.)
January 2, 2026 at 1:58 AM
It's strange to me, it should be common sense to just be kind and mindful. Apparently not as common anymore...

(He leaned back so he could see her under the table.)

If you can remember who left what, that would help some.
January 1, 2026 at 12:16 AM
Notes other kids left on her desk at school, apparently.

(He reached in and took out a small stack to read.)
December 31, 2025 at 5:00 AM
(He rearranges the shoes with a soft chuckle before following after and settling at the table.)
December 31, 2025 at 4:49 AM
Sounded like they fell because you were startled, but what do I know, hehe.

(He passed her the box and removed his own shoes.)

Pass me yours, V, I'll set them out.
December 31, 2025 at 4:32 AM
(He chuckles.)

You're too easy to startle.
