1st Bullet [video]

[seduceme]

[Darling students and whoever feels like seeing this spectacle on the network, here is your tiny blue-covered teacher with the froggy French accent, for once without a cigarette in her mouth.]

Bonjour! For those of you 'oo 'ave yet to meet me, I am Christelle Desrosiers and I will be teaching beginners and intermediate French as well as Spanish. On that note, if any of you decide to sing 'Lady Marmalade' in class, there will be consequences. [She hates that song, okay, it's been garbled terribly everywhere.]

I am partial to roses and good quality wine if you wish to try your 'ands at bribery, but the chances of it improving your grades are... [Shrugs]

Your 'omework for the first class is to 'ave the textbooks and to show up to class on time. I'm sure you can manage that much, ouis?

If you 'ave any questions regarding the course that aren't explained in the syllabus, you may email me them. Provided they are legitimate, sensible questions that 'ave yet to be addressed elsewhere, I will answer them.

If it'll spook you into leaving my past alone.

[seduceme]

No chance of that, sorry.

[whosafraidofthe]

I could actually get you on trial. Something tells me I could sniff out something you don't want anyone to know.

[seduceme]

If you find something interesting, do let me know. [God knows she's been trying to find out more about her past since waking from the coma, and hasn't had much luck with it. She winks and adds:] I did some lingerie modeling at some point, per'aps you will come across those photographs~

[whosafraidofthe]

[He wrinkles his nose.]

Not interested. I go for ladies with a little more class to them.

[But he's very tempted to do some digging. And he thinks he will.]

[seduceme]

I suppose the Queen of England would be more to your 'taste'. [Smirkity smirk smirk.]

[whosafraidofthe]

Not quite, but a kind prostitute caught my eye once.

[seduceme]

[Snorts at that and shakes her head.] Of course she did.

[whosafraidofthe]

That one's a long story, but I'm sure you don't care about my heroics if you're so much more interested in my crimes.

[At least he's proud of himself.]

[seduceme]

I'd suggest you tell me sometime over dinner, but I'm worried about who you'd serve up.

[whosafraidofthe]

Well, I'm courteous to people who don't take their meat raw. But I can't cook, so unless you want Chinese take-out...

[He raises his brows.]

You're a brave woman if you're that eager to dine with a wolf.

[seduceme]

Per'aps I should bring silver bullets for extra measure.

[whosafraidofthe]

[This makes him wince and take a shaky drag from his cigarette.]

Don't joke about that.

Please.

[seduceme]

[She considers his reaction for a moment with a thoughtful look on her face before finally shrugging.] And 'oo says I don't eat raw meat? I just don't 'ave the taste for long pig.

[whosafraidofthe]

You really work hard on those jokes, don't you.

[As much as her shrugging off his reaction is a relief, he is not impressed.]

I wouldn't say "long pig" around Collin, but I wouldn't trust you in my apartment anyway. Which I hope you think is reasonable. And I'm sure I've said it before, but I like chicken better. In the city it's much easier to get in bulk.

[seduceme]

I'd invite you to try some of my chicken cordon bleu, but I suspect fine dining might be lost on you. ['Sighs'.]

[whosafraidofthe]

...I suspect you're right. But we could be wrong, I don't actually remember the last time I spent more than 15 dollars on a meal.

[seduceme]

Mon cher, are you actually considering overcoming your distaste for me for the sake of a proper meal?

[whosafraidofthe]

I was hoping we were still talking in hypotheticals.

[seduceme]

Everything is 'ypothetical until it is attempted to be made real.

[She looks like she's about to say more but then her PDA beeps and she sees the alert reminding her she's supposed to be going for her 'therapy' session. Lips twisting with obvious distaste, she sighs and continues:]

But I'm we will 'ave to discuss 'ypotheses later. It would appear I 'ave an appointment.

[whosafraidofthe]

[His ears twitch at the sharp sound. And it's followed by an exaggerated sigh of relief.]

Looks like we're both safe, then. Enjoy your appointment.

[seduceme]

Á bientôt~ [She brightens enough to wink and blow him a kiss before switching off.]
