Cameo sighed as the last of her class exited, and she sat on her wooden desk, and kicked off her shoes, cracking her toes, her nails were painted alternately in green and gold.
She ran her fingers through her dark red hair and sighed happily. Today had been good, and tomorrow was the weekend, no more lessons for another two days, her tired smile slipped as she realised that she had a ton of homework to mark.
It could wait.

Shiori trudged down the hallway, headphones hidden in his mess of platinum blond hair. His bag was filled to the brim with essays in Japanese, French and Spanish on the student's favourite class/movie/whatever, as well as a stack of reports on certain wraith student's passings. He walked by the Herbology studio, and noticed one of his closer freinds among the faculty.
Shiori took out his headphones, and opened the door to the classroom, smiling. "Hey, there." he said. "Your students just leave?"

"Heya Shiori!" said Cameo, looking up and smiling,
"Do come in, yes, all my little ones have flown the coop for the weekend."
she hugged him and kissed his cheek, then walked back across the room, kicking several floor cushions out of the way.
"I was about to make myself a cup of tea, do you want one?" she asked.

Shiori sighed. "Yeah...my little munchkins have left me with some paperwork." he said. "I don't think I'll have any time this weekend to myself." Shiori sighed. "I guess is thier payback for my sadism with them..." he laughed. "What about you?" Shiori asked, gingerly putting down his paperwork on a free table.
"And yes please...a cup of tea would be nice."

"Well, seeing as it is only the beginning of the new term, thankfully I have no essays to mark, I just gave them reseach to do on the healing properties of nettles, bay leaves, rosamary, bee's wax and cow's milk. The only problem is that now I have to read through all their answers, which I know already."
She put the kettle on, she was in the mood for peppermint today.
"Any plans for the weekend- apart from homework marking?" she inquired, stretching, and yawning.

Shiori shrugged. He knew nothing about Herbology...or any of the special subjects for that matter! It all was just a bunch of words to him. "Well...I might go to the movies with a few freinds. If I have time...My senior Japanese class's Hiragana will take a looong time to mark." he grinned. "What about you?"

"Oh..." sighed Cameo, putting peppermint tea bags in two mugs,
"Nothing special...burning insense...marking essays...going to church...looking after drunk people...cleaning up their sick...brewing them hangover cures...the usual..."
She poured the boiling water into the china cups,
"Sugar?"

"You look after drunk people?" Shiori asked. That was odd. But it seemed to be in Cameo's persona to do that. "Like...do you go to bars with a butterfly net and whatnot...catching drunks?" he laughed. "And yes...two sugar, please."

"kindred spirit!" smiled Cameo, "I cannot live without sugar in my tea, shameful isn't it?"
"I have to look after them...because no one else looks out for them."
She said, after a moment's pause, her eyes becoming glazed and full of compassion. Then she snapped back to reality,
"But I forget myself- here is your tea!"
And she handed him a mug.

"Yes definatly!" Shiori laughed, and nodded enthusiastically. "I can't live without sugar!" he grinned. It was always talked about among students about how much sweets Shiori ate, and yet he still managed to keep his fragile bony form! Even through clothes one could see Shiori's bones jutting out.

Cameo threw back her red hair and laughed at that, raising her mug to his,
"To tea and sugar, may the two never separate!"
She grinned up at him throughout the toast.

"To sugar in general!" Shiroi laughed. "Which reminds me...I went to Switzerland on my break and got you and some other faculty members some chocolate." he said, and rummaged through his bag.

"Oooh!" Cameo's eyes widened in delight, and she clapped her hennared hands together in a girly manner.
"Was this one of your 'educational' trips to learn more about the language and culture, Shiori? Or just the food?"
She crossed her arms, one eyebrow raised, but an amused smile pressing against her lips.

"Uhhhhh..." Shiori grinned, having a guitly look on his face. "Well...I guess you could say that..." he giggled, and finally pulled out a gold wrapped box of chocolate, with a golden ribbon wrapped around it. "Here you go! Swiss chocolate! I was gonna get a watch, but I figured you'd enjoy this more!"

"Heck yes!" giggled Cameo, and took the bar, sitting down on one of the floor cushions, and patting one beside her, for Shiori to join her,
"But chocolate..like many other things should not be enjoyed alone, and I must continue in this vain question to help put a bit of meat on your bones!" she gave a half laugh, half exasperated sigh, and began to unwrap the chocolate bar.
