Hidden Intentions

For a moment, Weiss and Lady only stare at the door of the faculty office in bemusement.

"You must be a very good writer if Ms. Mirabella wants you to handle a so-called side project," he commented, turning to look her way.

"I don't know why she thinks so," she said with a shrug while he studied her.

"Well, I think you're indeed very good with your words. I've heard Fallon complaining about how annoying your tongue is."

"He did what?! Oh, that rascal. I swear, he keeps telling that to everybody! He thinks that I'll shut up if the world doesn't talk to me."

"I think Fallon fails to realize that it's you that talks to the world – not the other way around."

"Oh, he knows that. He just wants me to shut up."

Weiss laughs at the sentiment. Lady pouts. 

"Don't laugh at me! We have a project to work on," she huffed.
