An old kind of magic

he nods "although ...i think I will have a lay down...not as young as I used to be and all that"

"Alright. I will go and clean up then. It will be nice after being on stuffy buses all day. I will see you later if you come down."

"oh i shall just...maybe a little after i hear your door" he chuckles and heads back to his own room

It makes sense to her anyway and she goes and does as discussed finding the shower to be pretty rubbish but relaxing all the same once she has found the right temperature. She heads down to the bar and watches out the window

he follows down soon ish after at least looking less grey under the eyes "all clean from the dirt of travel then?"

She looks up, her smile already showing a slight tipsy edge to it. "Yes, much better."

he laughs "well you have some rouge to your cheeks...whats the fair like?"

"Oh you. I just thought it would be a while until I am able to enjoy myself as such and so I decided to indulge a little. It is not too bad actually."

"well its nice to see you have fun anyway"

"Without the rest of the faculty you mean?" she chuckles. "I do know how to enjoy myself despite what most of my students believe."

"mm you are so....aloff sometimes...still you are a good teacher...its nice to see another side of you though"

"I suppose it is just an escape from the city. I don't feel as pressured to fit any sort of criteria you know?"

"well your not...at the moment you are just you.."

"I know.. But it is easy to get swept along with the flow of the people and the stress of 'modern living'."

"oh dont i know it" he laughs then looks less amused "but....thats what makes these trips so relaxing"

"I am starting to feel it already. It has been a while since I have been on holiday but I can remember even then that I didn't feel quite as free as this. It is nice not having to know what is coming next."

"well lets hope we can keep you like this then " he takes his seat and orders some spirits

She laughs. "You can try." She knows herself too well to think she will go back and stay relaxed for longer than a few days

"mmm" he sips his drink shaking his head "careful or there will be art of you going round the students."

"As if there isn't art of me here and there already.." She shakes her head. "If only the could be as dedicated to their class times."

he nods "but your hair gets bigger....some of them are quite good artists actually....others less so...breast size vairys and...well you need some distractions of course"

She gives him a look. She doesn't really want to know what the students think of her boobs - real or imaginary

he chuckles "less of that face ma'am"

"Hmph!" She pulls her shirt more closed to cover up cleavage. He can tell it is still all fun and games though, she is not angry. "Little blighters."

"mm i shall have to sabotage your popularity but i cant really manage at that level..."
