be discreet

[msmage]

It's not much later, in Isabella's room, that she asks:

"So... is Alex really a dom?"

Comments

[mrmage]

Mmk maybe he should stop that. He taps the window with his knuckles and makes a 'cut it!' gesture with his hand, trying to signal the librarian's position with his eyes.

[alicornucopia]

They look up when the door is knocked on. The sub goes bright red and stammers (inaudibly, through the door) and the dom scowls but disentangles from her.

[mrmage]

Sadde gives them an apologetic look and mutters, "Sorry."

[alicornucopia]

They resume sitting in a merely cuddly manner on the beanbag and watching their puffin documentary.

[mrmage]

And Sadde resumes work.

[alicornucopia]

And work resumes being uneventful.

[mrmage]

And when he has some downtime he'll check out the movie's scheduled showings.

[alicornucopia]

There is one that starts at seven and should leave time for both dinner and Jackson hurrying off to his fate afterwards.

[mrmage]

Perfect! So at lunch he'll see if he can find Jackson in the cafeteria.

[alicornucopia]

There's Jackson. Not bothering Isabella at all, being on the other end of the cafeteria from her.

[mrmage]

Which of them's closer?

[alicornucopia]

Jackson is.

[mrmage]

Then he'll talk to Jackson first. If he catches Isabella's eye, he'll try to gesture and mouth a 'be there in a sec' or some such.

[alicornucopia]

"Hi," says Jackson.

[mrmage]

"Hiya! Movie's at seven PM, that good?"

[alicornucopia]

"Yeah, should be, unless it's really long. So bus stop at six thirty?"

[mrmage]

"Yeah, sounds good!"

[alicornucopia]

"Okay."

[mrmage]

"See you, then!" And off he goes to his dom.

[eclipsi]

"Hello, pet."

[mrmage]

"Hi, ma'am. How're you?"

[eclipsi]

"I'm all right. Have to do a group project though. Sometimes Selene pretends to be college hard enough to fool me and then, nope, technically junior high to high school range."

[mrmage]

"Pretends to be a college?"

[eclipsi]

"We get to pick all our own classes with few exceptions, the scheduling's open, we have a campus with dorms and a bus to town and very light adult supervision, and not all of the teachers have doctorates but some of them do."

[mrmage]

"Would college not have group projects, then?"
