" so are you, " she said as she sat down and read papers

Farah hummed thoughtfully. “Maybe. But at least I’m not showing it.”

" I can't hide my emotions like you can far, it's a lot harder." She said and signed something

Farah combed through her books, looking for something specific. "I've been doing it longer. It takes practice," she murmured, brushing her fingers over the spines.

" watcha looking for, maybe I can help find it.." she said softly and walked up to Farah, standing behind her to try and see the area she was looking at.

Farah felt Neva come to stand behind her, and she held her breath for a second. "A runes book," she murmured, her eyes flitting over the titles on the spines. "I just can't seem to find it."

Neva looked around, crouching for a moment before looking up and finding it. " Here," she said and put her finger on it.

Farah knelt beside her protégé. Her fingers nimbly slipped the book from its place and opened it. "Yes, this is it. Thank you."

"mhm," Neva hummed and stood up, the muscles in her legs clear under her tights. She'd decided to where a white dress with black flower outlines on it, so the translucent tights only mirrored her legs

Farah's eyes quickly darted away as Neva stood up. She couldn't let herself continue to think the way she did when she was around Neva. Slowly, she rose to her feet as well and paced over to one of the couches she had and sank down onto it.

neva paced around the room, getting her usual done " im thinking about not going to the staff party, ive got alot to do.."

At that, Farah looked up quickly. "No, you have to come," she protested. "I have to go, so you have to go."

" you have to go because you need a break, im new, so im not nearly in need of a break yet." she said and gave farah a soft smile

Farah arched her eyebrows and smirked. "And what if I make it mandatory for all staff members to attend?" she challenged playfully. The amount of people who got to see this side of Alfea's headmistress could be counted on one hand.

" then id call you mean an attend. " she teased back.

"Alright then. It's mandatory," Farah purred, turning her attention back to her book.

neva flinched " you dirty butt hole! you did that on purpose!" she said and gave farah a fake disbelieved look.

Farah didn't lift her eyes from the page. "Maybe I did. You need to get out of this office." Sighing, she raised her eyes to meet Neva's again. "I feel as though I've been keeping you from having any fun or getting to know the other professors," she said earnestly.

' id rather know you then anyone else.." she said, speaking her mind before realizing what she'd said and flushing brightly "sorry ma'am! i didn't-"

Farah didn't bother to hide the soft look of shock on her face. She quickly cleared her throat and replied professionally. "While I appreciate wanting to learn my job, one of the most important aspects is being well-acquainted with the other professors."

"right.. " she said softly. neva hadn't meant what farah had gotten out of it but that was alright. she didn't need farah knowing just how close she wanted to get. she sighed, handing farah her papers. " anything else ma'am?"

Farah took the papers. "No, that's everything for now. I'll see you tonight at the party." She knew exactly what Neva was feeling, and she'd known exactly what her words meant. It hurt her to not be able to act on her desires, but she had an image to uphold. And if they were found out, God forbid, it would soundly damage Farah's reputation and destroy Neva's future.

neva nodded, heading back to her dorm. she set an alarm on her phone and snuggled into her fluffy blankets shed sleep for a bit and get ready for the party.

The party was scheduled to begin at 7, so at 6:15, Farah resigned from her work and headed to her private quarters. She slipped into a change of clothes – still professional but slightly more comfortable – and redid her makeup. She touched up her hair briefly and sighed. Seeing Neva tonight was going to be a blessing and a curse.

neva got dressed in a short but flowing dress, black dress boots, and some jewelry. she pulled her hair up and tried to style it.
