Even though he absolutely regretted chugging the coffee like he did, Jones still acted as if he was perfectly fine and that he hadn’t just done something really stupid. Even though it was obvious from his actions that he wished he hadn’t done it. “Hey! I don’t regret it, definitely not!” He would cough a few more times, before picking the mug back up and holding it close. They both knew it was a lie but honestly who was surprised that he did such a dumb thing?
“I mean, I guess? But... I don’t want to have to get the ring remade, re-enchanting the one I have requires me being without it for a while, both methods would just take too long to get done” Were there any alternate methods? Probably. Not that he was very interested in exploring those options, though, he had to deal with government things so often that doing stuff their suggested way was just easier for him. Not that Midas really knew about that, Jones was very particular about keeping his outside life a secret to avoid garnering pity or whatever.
“You sure? Alright, but don’t be surprised if I pay you a visit in the future with some non-coffee items” That was a warning of sorts, a threat. Jones would absolutely visit Midas whenever he could, especially if he had an excuse to do so. A gift of tea was something he would definitely take advantage of.
Jones would take a few moments to think. He had to get himself back to his usual nature, he needed to make jokes and act cool and not get startled by being touched; It wasn’t from the fear of being turned to gold, he already felt confident that he wasn’t going to be accidentally (or deliberately) turned gold by Midas. “Well... You don’t need a just in-case, with me. If I burnt something, I could just drag a desk from my own classroom into here, it would be easier to explain a burnt desk in my classroom than it would one in your classroom. They already accept me being clumsy as an excuse” Well, clumsy wasn’t really the word for it. A lot of the things he burnt were unintentionally burnt because of his ring being on. None of it was ever deliberate arson, Jones had never gotten to the point where he would deliberately cause any amount of damage to something.
Sensing a growing feeling of awkwardness, he opts to take a step backwards, keeping both hands on his coffee mug.
“Maybe I should take a step out for a moment, to burn something safely in my own room, I don’t want to accidentally cause a fire that ends up burning you”
Rex | Male | 17 | Student | Immortality, Empathy, Animal Manipulation | Tags: Lavender
It does not take very long for the two to reach the dinosaur’s locker. He opens it up, pulling out a bag, searching through it and eventually pulling out several photos. With a bright smile on his face, he shoves the bag back into the locker and then presents the photos to Lavender. Each picture showed a different animal, some with multiple animals, of all types. A wolf, a couple of cats, various different insects including bees and butterflies, a raccoon, a few rats, plus several others. Each time he showed a new photo, he would point and name each animal, mentioning a random story about them as well. Rex was very into explaining all of these details about the friends he had, while also a little bit sad that he wasn’t able to have any of them come to school with him.
