"Really?" a head tilt. "He's got a paperclip bracelet. Never takes it off," a shrug. "God those stupid bow ties," she facepalmed. "I actually asked him about that. It's because a regular tie would be too intimidating, he feared, whereas bowtie clearly says the kid at school that everyone else beat up and pantsed all the time. There's another bloke here who wears bowties, but plain black, not the whimsical evil Mr. Rogers or Willy Wonka kind Michael goes for."
"Yeah, it was all existential crisis-y too." Side glance. Is she being called on her questionable tastes in semi-immortal men with a penchant for bowties, again? It would seem so. Maybe if she ignores it, they can pretend it never happened! "It was pretty --" shit. She was going to say hot, sexy or some variation thereof. And she can't even say impressive either, because that's Rose's codeword for hot!
"Ummmm so! First day of lessons, yeah? And everyone's all in a panic, because Hades doesn't think we're capable of anything, and he's half right, I didn't know my element, and I've never been in a world with magic, and the Doctor summoned flaming hats from the sky, so that was a thing. And Michael was like 'You know what? The best teacher I ever had knew his students weak spots and worked with them on it,' and Hades was like 'Go fuck yourself.'" Not in those words because Disney, but the sentiment was there, obviously. "And Michael was all 'Fine, I'll help everyone instead!' and sassing Mr. Lord of the Dead himself, so then Hades summoned all these monsters and pretty much everyone was like 'I'm a lover not a fighter!' but I blinded one with sparkles so Michael punched it! Pow! Right between the eyes! And then I kicked it, and actually had fun, and we all got our asses handed to us. So hopefully you're not an elemental type, though Lyds and the other princesses seemed pretty exhausted, and I assume the weapons class was equally violent." Hilariously, it was not.
And sod it, Rose was on a roll. "You really don't think he's hot? With those blazing blue eyes and broad shoulders and........ I'm just gonna shut up. Don't breathe a word of it to him. Not because I have a problem with him hearing it, but because it'll go straight to his already-far-too-big ego, you know?"
