⠀ ⠀⠀I teach forensics . You ⠀⠀wouldn't be attending at the ⠀⠀academy ... But rather a ⠀⠀small get together with some ⠀⠀students that need help with ⠀⠀their projects . ⠀⠀It is just an offer, nothing ⠀⠀you'd have to accept . ⠀
⏜ ⠀⠀⠀#ㅤ ⠀𝆣 ⠀⠀j𝖚𝑙𝑖𝑒@legionarys.bsky.social · 4mo agowhat do you even teach?
⠀ ⠀⠀I understand . ⠀⠀[ Sharing something so ⠀⠀personal with a stranger was ⠀⠀rather awkward ⠀⠀conversation . Will ⠀⠀understood that much . ⠀⠀He would fix his glasses, ⠀⠀watching Winston finally lay ⠀⠀down next to him . ] ⠀⠀Maybe you'd like to attend ⠀⠀one of my lessons, just for ⠀⠀fun . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Can't do anything .ᐣ ⠀⠀[ That caught his attention, ⠀⠀sitting back down once more . ⠀⠀His head was already killing ⠀⠀him, but taking more pills ⠀⠀would probably fuck him ⠀⠀up . ] ⠀⠀Did you drop out .ᐣ ⠀
⏜ ⠀⠀⠀#ㅤ ⠀𝆣 ⠀⠀j𝖚𝑙𝑖𝑒@legionarys.bsky.social · 4mo agonothing. [ after all, directly after school she’d been plucked up by the entity into her fog—and that’d been years ago, julie’s kept a meticulous count. no opportunity to pursue what she wanted, whatever that was. actress, artist. ] i can’t do anything.
⠀ ⠀⠀I am not old enough to retire ⠀⠀yet . I still have some years ⠀⠀ahead . ⠀⠀[ A quick grab of the rod, he ⠀⠀stood up, yanking on the line ⠀⠀for a moment before reeling ⠀⠀in a fish . He got it off the ⠀⠀hook, putting it in the ⠀⠀bucket . ] ⠀⠀What do you do for work .ᐣ ⠀
⏜ ⠀⠀⠀#ㅤ ⠀𝆣 ⠀⠀j𝖚𝑙𝑖𝑒@legionarys.bsky.social · 4mo agono wonder you need to be medicated, that sounds like torture. retire. [ little shrug, but she doesn’t care either way. ] sure. knock yourself out.

⏜ ⠀⠀⠀#ㅤ ⠀𝆣 ⠀⠀j𝖚𝑙𝑖𝑒@legionarys.bsky.social · 4mo agoi can promise you, you’ve gotten no insight into my mind just by two conversations. [ she’s stretching out so that she can lean her back against one of the trees, wriggling her foot. ] a teacher. fooorrr... kids, teenagers, adults?
⠀ ⠀⠀It's hard to leave work behind ⠀⠀sometimes, even when you're ⠀⠀fishing . ⠀⠀[ He would reach over to the ⠀⠀fish in the bucket, simply ⠀⠀gutting it while talking . ] ⠀⠀But it's good to know certain ⠀⠀things about people you ⠀⠀meet . It gives you insight into ⠀⠀their mind . [ + ] ⠀
⏜ ⠀⠀⠀#ㅤ ⠀𝆣 ⠀⠀j𝖚𝑙𝑖𝑒@legionarys.bsky.social · 4mo agoi’d harm you. what’s giving you the impression that i care about you enough to want to do that?
⠀ ⠀⠀Oh, nothing . ⠀⠀[ The rod was now placed ⠀⠀between them both, held in ⠀⠀place by some rocks . ⠀⠀Winston was now running ⠀⠀around with the stick in ⠀⠀maw . ] ⠀⠀But I'd guess if it was your ⠀⠀goal to kill me ... it wouldn't ⠀⠀be this uneventful . ⠀
⏜ ⠀⠀⠀#ㅤ ⠀𝆣 ⠀⠀j𝖚𝑙𝑖𝑒@legionarys.bsky.social · 4mo agothere’s no point. i don’t have anywhere to keep the fish or cook it. [ she’s throwing the stick once more, not even giving winston a secondary glance. ] what do you mean, 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦? what do you know about me? [ nothing! ]
⠀ ⠀⠀I know you wouldn't have ⠀⠀done that, at least not like ⠀⠀this . I can tell if medication is ⠀⠀tempered with . ⠀⠀[ He would watch Winston ⠀⠀bring back the stick quickly, ⠀⠀dropping it in front of Julie ⠀⠀with excited barks . ] ⠀⠀You wouldn't kill me with ⠀⠀laced ibuprofen . [ + ] ⠀
⏜ ⠀⠀⠀#ㅤ ⠀𝆣 ⠀⠀j𝖚𝑙𝑖𝑒@legionarys.bsky.social · 4mo agoto rile him up. ] you want the stick? go on— [ and she flings it away in some direction. not at all far away. ] it was actually ibuprofen, but you shouldn’t be accepting shit from people anyways. i could’ve laced it with anything. it could BE anything.
⠀ ⠀⠀I wanted to apologize for his ⠀⠀behavior . ⠀⠀[ He sat down on a stump, ⠀⠀fixing up new bait for the ⠀⠀hook . ] ⠀⠀I didn't expect him to talk to ⠀⠀you ... especially because our ⠀⠀initial interaction was so ⠀⠀brief . Thank you for the ⠀⠀medication again . It helped . [ + ] ⠀
⏜ ⠀⠀⠀#ㅤ ⠀𝆣 ⠀⠀j𝖚𝑙𝑖𝑒@legionarys.bsky.social · 4mo agodon’t ruin my mood. i didn’t come to you to talk about that douchebag. [ her face twists up almost instantly at the mention of his name, indignation dominating her features. ] seriously. i don’t give a fuck about your overprotective therapist.
⠀ ⠀⠀... Fair deal . ⠀⠀[ He puts away the second ⠀⠀rod again, pushing away the ⠀⠀bucket with the trout to give ⠀⠀her more space . ] ⠀⠀I think you've met Mister ⠀⠀Lecter ... ⠀
⏜ ⠀⠀⠀#ㅤ ⠀𝆣 ⠀⠀j𝖚𝑙𝑖𝑒@legionarys.bsky.social · 4mo agono, because this is also for middle-aged men. [ if anything, however, she might kick her shoes off and roll her pants up and go wade and try to snag shit up. she’s considering that. ] but i’ll keep you company. fair deal?
⠀ ⠀⠀... It's a hobby for everyone . ⠀⠀[ He's looking at the rod, then ⠀⠀back at her . ] ⠀⠀I can teach you, if you'd like . ⠀
⠀ ⠀⠀You catch a fish like that ⠀⠀then . ⠀⠀... Then I will try as well . ⠀
⠀ ⠀⠀He won't . Don't worry . ⠀⠀He's up to date with all his ⠀⠀vaccinations . ⠀
⠀ ⠀⠀... If you put it like that, Mister ⠀⠀Lecter being my ⠀⠀therapist does sound rather ⠀⠀unprofessional . ⠀
