The following day, Sadde goes to town at a reasonable time to buy a tiny cactus with some of the proceeds from his terribly tedious job, and sneaks it into the bag with his clothing he brings to Isabella's room. It is inside a cute little box, which he offers Isabella the following morning when she wakes up, saying, "Happy three-month anniversary!"
He sighs and looks around and wow they've been talking for a while haven't they. Isabella's probably gone.
Her table is occupied by a bunch of younger subs giggling to each other.
During a lull in same (not in itself a rare event), he walks up to a librarian. "Excuse me."
"Do you happen to know where I'd have to look for information about what therapists are or aren't required and allowed to break confidentiality for?"
Social services first, probably.
It's dinner time. Is Isabella in the cafeteria?
Scritch. "It was fine. Pirates person won, so we can actually get started now."
"Found out somebody else was doing the other idea, won over the third person, I went along to have a clear consensus and the opposing group member caved."
"Well, that's nice, then. History teacher still hasn't told us what the so-called 'surprise' will be."
"Well, at worse as unfortunate as Selene can get, which admittedly isn't a whole lot."
"Eh, there's style clashes between teachers and students in any school setting."
"Yes but I do have what if I were fictional could be reasonably called a Tragic Backstory, it does give me a certain sense of proportion whenever I feel too much like complaining. It's... oddly cheering, to be quite frank."
"It's, you know how some parents tell their children they should feel lucky, they're privileged, etcetera? It's kinda like that, but a bit more real. I have a gorgeous, hot, smart, ambitious, amazing dom, I'm in a great magic school, I'm going to make everyone immortal, and I'm gonna have to visit an abusive piece of shit for break sometimes and pretend you've converted me into a submissive girl and even that is not, comparatively, that terrible. History class surprises hold no threat to me."
