 Cain? I wasn't sure I knew a Cain. Well, I knew of a Cain, but I don't think I'd ever met him. Maybe I had. Like I said before, war times are crazy times. In any case, this kid was pushy with a capital PUS. It made me want to pinch his cheek or something. "I don't know that I actually met any of your brothers in the thick of things, just cousins and stuff. But anyway, tell me more about this 'lesson plan' thing people keep talking about. Am I supposed to get one of those?"
I had sort of flown into this job on my cushy laurels of war, and no one had actually bothered to ask if I knew anything about school. Hell, I hadn't even gone to school, let alone taught it. School for me was the backwoods with my mom, an ax, and a wand. In any case, someone might have thought to give me a low-down on the whole job description thing. Maybe.
"In any case, you can toss out that textbook. It looks awful. We'll mostly do practical stuff, I think." I studied the fury on little Toby-kins's face, not quite sure what it was I'd said to piss him off so bad. Probably just a bug up his butt, like his brother seemed to have. "Oh, nothing," I assured him. "I just ran into him in the staff room a few times. I heard there were a whole litter of you guys running around here."

  Well, if Professor Roderick truly had only met some of his cousins, he was even more pathetic than Tobias had figured before. Seriously, even though the other Redfernes were also powerful, not being from the main branch of the family made their circumstances rather different and, well, simply put, they didn't have to excel half as much. And while Tobias knew that most his cousins who were old and powerful enough did fight in the war, they were far from being the leaders or anything of their companies or battalions.
And then Professor Roderick asked something about a... lesson plan. Did that mean he was actually planning on properly teaching them? Because Tobias truly didn't believe that he could, and furthermore, he didn't want Professor Roderick to teach him. He could teach himself very well, thankyouverymuch, and he didn't need some crackpot professor telling him what was right and wrong with his Latin or Transfiguration skills. But Tobias figured that he should answer the poor man anyway, mostly because he looked pretty damn lost. "If you want to, I guess you can," Tobias mumbled, not really caring if Professor Roderick could hear him. "You know what? You should bug Liam about it, I'm sure he'll be glad to tell you all about the school." Tobias' brother had been such a dick that Tobias thought it was only fair for him to inflict the crazy psycho on Liam in revenge. After all, what was the point of being the younger brother if one couldn't mess around with his older ones?
Professor Roderick then said something about burning the textbook. ... what textbook? Were they supposed to have a textbook? Because Tobias sure as hell didn't have any of those. "Practical stuff as in transfiguring matchsticks into needles, or practical stuff as in transfiguring someone's face into a pig's butt?" Tobias asked, relatively interested in the curiculum. What? If he was going to be forced to learn the shit, he might as well find out what was going to go on in class.
"And what? A litter?" Fucking hell, what was wrong with this guy? Just because the Redfernes were a pretty big family didn't mean that they were a litter or anything. Personally, Tobias kind of wished that all the Redfernes would come up now and bash the guy's face in or something. That would show him to call them a litter.

Hm, maybe I should be, y'know, learning how to teach. As a teacher, it seemed like an important skill. Maybe I would take that Liam guy up on a lesson or two. Plus, he was sort of cute. Not anywhere near as adorable as this little darling, though! "Yeah, I might just,"
[/b] I agreed with a nod and a smirk.
I barked a laugh at Tobias's question. He had spunk, I'd give him that. And he seemed awfully concerned about working on something challenging enough. Aw, little egghead geekface. "Well, I mean I'm still trying to get a handle on the class's skill level, but the crickets were an inanimate-to-animate demonstration. A bit of work, and I think most of them could be ready for inanimate-to-sentient."[/b] I shrugged, not sure exactly where this guy was. The kids in this class were freaking adults, though. By the time I was their age, I was knee-deep in blood and guts, turning trees into monsters to hold off the enemy. "That and maybe some more technical stuff. That's generally my specialty."Grinning at Toby's indignation, I shrugged. I had been trying to rile him a bit (because he was like an angry bunny), but I played it innocent. "Sorry. S'that one of those things that's offensive over here? No harm intended, bud. Just how I talk."[/color][/center][/size][/blockquote][/blockquote] Outfit: Clicky! Tagged: Tobyyy!

Hn, whatever. Tobias quickly lost interest in the teacher when he started talking about the class' skill level and how he thought they'd be ready for an inanimate-to-sentient transfiguration soon enough. Yeah, right. Most the people in his class were bloody morons who didn't give two shits about Transfiguration-- no clue why-- and they would take much more than a "bit of work" to progress to inanimate-to-sentient. Personally, Tobias was pretty surprised that they'd managed inaimate-to-animate in the first place.
Still though, it seemed rather rude if Tobias didn't offer his own two cents on what Professor Roderick was planning to do with them. "Yeah, good luck with that. Even Liam couldn't persuade them to put in the 'bit of work', so I really doubt you'll be able to." And seriously, 'technical stuff'? What the hell was that, anyway? Tobias would've thought that a guy who joined teaching after a war would be more preoccupied with useful things like transfiguring, say, the corpses of rats into giant, clawed monsters. Not... 'technical stuff'.
Then the professor somewhat apologised for calling his family a litter, which made Tobias roll his eyes. "Well, if that's the way that you talk, you should really consider changing it or something. A litter is not what you want to call the most powerful clan of sorcerers over here." Because seriously, that was the most direspectful way that he'd ever heard someone reference the sheer amount of Redfernes swarming around here, and if Tobias hadn't been feeling a little bad for skipping class, the professor would already be on the floor with a bleeding nose, or something. Calling the Redfernes a 'litter' was not cool.
