Controlling emotions are not the same as not having them. Do you think of me as unfeeling, Gellert?

[greatestgood]

...no. [His brow furrows.] You feel far more than I do, but you have control of it. I only know how to push things down and strangle them.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

You can learn differently. It's helpful, sometimes, to be able to quell what you feel without destroying it.

[greatestgood]

I learn best by doing. You must help me when I am enraged; you might be able to help me see reason.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I am always here to help you if you need. If you would wish me to calm you, I can.

[greatestgood]

I need it; I need you. You've taught many, but now I ask you to guide me.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

And I will. I've no plans to leave you to this by yourself.

[greatestgood]

Pity me. I have a crush on my Professor.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Is it a crush if he returns it so ardently?

[greatestgood]

Does he? Well that makes the reward system for lessons quite intriguing!

[chambermusicandtenpins]

As if you would not be using such rewards to bribe me just as well.

[greatestgood]

That's your fault for being attracted to me.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I suppose it is. Pity that I can't help it.

[greatestgood]

Is it really a pity? I promise to make you feel really good.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

[That earns him a small laugh.]

You've already been quite successful at that.

[greatestgood]

So you know I'm not lying.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Oh, I'm very aware that you are not. Delightfully so.

[greatestgood]

Then I will be waiting for you, dear Professor. Ready at my desk.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Bent over it, no doubt.

[greatestgood]

Are you already dreaming? I don't mind being fully prepared for you.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I merely guess at what ideas you might have already had in your head. But I certainly would not mind your preparations.

[greatestgood]

I think I can arrange myself enticingly - at your desk or mine. The lesson can be slightly delayed.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Why do I suspect you might use such enticement to push aside the lesson entirely?

[greatestgood]

I can't be blamed. Once you start teaching, I will want you.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I think you would want me even if I wasn't.
