Russell talking distractedly with Jace, he really had not noticed when Isabel and Elizabeth were no longer around, despite feeling something strange in the air, Russell was finding nice talking with that other guy, maybe he has been fellow of Russell before him spending so much time out of school doing stuff. The conversation was abruptly interrupted, Russell felt a strong hand grab him by the arm, and then felt pulled to some direction "Sorry for the interruption, but I'm afraid we will not need your guidance anymore. Elizabeth proved to be more efficient. See you around, Sinvier." Isabel was talking while carrying the boy "Sinvier?" He thought, then "Who is Sinvier? And what is happening?" Then he turned to Isabel
"What's going on? Where did you bring m…" The words were in the air when he saw a skeleton staring at him, then noticed that they were in the biology lab, looked around and saw other students with their rubber gloves before their dead frogs on the table ready to be dissected, but now they were all, including the teacher, staring Russell and Isabel, they were more astonished by Russell being in the classroom than curious about that one new student. Then the teacher, an old gray-haired man with an angry face and a white mustache that covered his mouth, said "Take your seats you two, the class will begin immediately!" Russell with a complacent smile shout "Okay, we have a lot of science to do!" and went to his place this time pulling Isabel and taking his bistoury as soon as arrived at the table.

gaia_angelleft AMUSEMENT gaia_angelright

After dragging and being dragged by Russell, both her and her master were finally inside a classroom. Putting her notebooks aside, she lowered her head and tried to copy some of her master's actions. While adjusting the gloves in her hands, Isabel could see how content Russell was. Like a kid in an amusement park, like someone fangirling over something, like Isabel herself inside a dream about puddings. It drove her mind away from its previous state triggered by the presence of Jace. With no doubt Russell felt at home when the subject was science, something Isabel respected. Unlike her master, she was never that fond of this topic. Raising her head to pay attention to what the teacher was saying, she noticed a couple of students staring at her. With yet another snap of anger inside her, the girl silently grinded her teeth while grabbing some tools and, not knowing what do to with them, turned to Russell:
- Um, can you spare your genius with me? I feel lost. And observed by losers.

"What sin, how you don’t know how to dissect a frog? I did it all the time with my mom when I was 4 years old. Although not everyone should have a mother like mine, right? Come here, I'll teach you." Russell quickly came over Isabel and firmly grabbed her hand that was holding the scalpel, he noticed that her hand was not as as soft as he expected.
"You hold it steady, but with a bit of softness, dissect living beings is a subtle art, here!" Russell quickly placed her hand over the Frog "You make this horizontal incision in the throat here like this." Russell did as he spoke "You have to do it gently as I am showing you, it’s risky to cut the organs of guinea pig if you don’t do it gently."
And throughout the lesson, Russell continued to teach all the details of that activity, gave details that even the teacher had not taught yet. After all the explanation, the young boy awoke from his science reverie, breathed a little and looked at Isabel smiling like an idiot.
"Science is very magical, don’t you think?" The teacher was looking at the two students a bit dissatisfied because he was not useful to them.

- Yeah... - Isabel responded with a slight sigh when Russell mentioned his motherly figure.
Her mother... When she left the orphanage she was given a letter, supposedly about her mother, though she did not open it. Finding a job and studying were the priorities. But why? Wasn't she free after those three years? Shaking her head violently, Isabel turned to the frog in front of her. "With a bit of softness, dissecting living beings is a subtle art" - Russell's words echoed in her head.
- Softness, huh? It may work with science, but not with everyday life.
Isabel bent her body in front of the table and with attentiveness followed her master's words and actions. The sensation of holding a scalpel was creepingly nostalgic for the girl. Isabel wasn't as gentle as Russell told her to be with the instrument. Pinning the frog, she grabbed the scissors and proceeded. After everything was done, she awaited the teacher's following orders and since the remaining students were quite behind on the lesson, she could talk to her partner.
- So, Russell, tell me more about your mother...

"About my mother, huh?" Russell stopped to think a bit, he was not accustomed to answering this question, because everyone who got involved with him knew well his mother, he was thrilled to be able talk about her with someone.
"Well, to be honest, she is totally insane! At least that's what they say, but for me she is a misunderstood genius, not so misunderstood because if it were not for her contributions to the scientific world she should be hospitalized in a psychiatric clinic, but she is what they call... ..eccentric?" the boy stirred the remains of the frog as he spoke, interrupted this activity to look directly at Isabel to continue, in this part he sounded more serious
"But despite what they say I really like her, must be weird like someone who gave you chemical substances suspicious from pregnancy and accidentally fired a shot on you when you were four years old, but I'm that kind of person." Russell rubbed his left arm when he spoke of it, and relaxed a bit.
"But at least now I have a mechanical arm and this neat white hair, hehe" laughed discreetly. "And you Isabel? Tell me about your mother too!" Russell stared at Isabel with a peaceful expression, apparently talking about his mother did some good to the boy.

Isabel let herself loosen up with the way Russell spoke. Even laughed a bit alongside him. He was a nice boy, so intelligent and yet somewhat ingenuous.
- Well, my mother... To be honest, she was the only one I could count on. My relationship with my father wasn't that great. We would yell at each other and disagree violently, and my mother would watch it all, sometimes trying to stop the fight. Our relationship was pretty normal compared to yours and your mother's. Though I have to admit some of her actions were a bit strange to me... I blame my father, you know? Nobody could stay 100% sane if they had to live with him.
Her expression changed when the topic strayed to her father. He was like a black-hole: all the family issues were, one way or another, his fault, and yet, he was the center of their "galaxy". Isabel turned to the table and began to play with the scalpel. Without looking at her master, she asked.
- Is your father as idiotic as mine? As he was... Thank God, he's gone.

"My father is pretty normal, a little boring, but nothing that made me be willing to stabbing him ..." Russell suddenly looked alarmed. Then he started talking nervously whispering
"Not that I'm saying that you stabbed him! I mean, he should be so a*****e that anyone could have done it, no? Even the parrot, if you had one, or neighbor, you know! " The boy breathed a bit but still sounded nervous. "Well, I'm sorry, I'm not accusing you of anything, do not hate me." Russell was staring at Isabel with an anxious expression.

gaia_angelleft RUMORS gaia_angelright

The sound of the scalpel rotating on the table suddenly stopped as Russell's words came out. After a couple of seconds of silence, Isabel chuckled.
- I figured you would receive my profile, since I received yours attached to the letter about the program. Very well... Don't worry your brilliant bleached brain about it. I don't hate you, I have no reasons to. I think it's funny, because if those losers who keep staring at us knew the rumors, perhaps they would think twice before doing so. I can't erase the past, but I can play with it. Don't you think?

"Oh yeah of course, your profile, I received of course, haha.. " Russell said awkwardly by remembering when placed the correspondence with several invitations to scientific meetings uninteresting to Elizabeth incinerate, where most likely would be the profile of Isabel
"I just forgot for a moment... but stopping to think, I guess you're right, it is fun to play with people's ignorance." spoke in a serious tone, as if it was common for him "My mother should feel that way too, there are many strange rumors about her and she seems not to care, this should fend inconvenient people..." Russell eased more to realize it, then glanced at Isabel with a mix of admiration and understanding and a sincere smile on his face, so the boy seemed to have started to say something, but then paused himself and said something different than he intended to say before.
"So Isabel Sacri .. What life was like there in the 'Orphanage for young criminal'? " Spoke with a special focus on this last part, as if he had then noticed something wrong with what has just said. "I mean, I'm not mocking the orphanage, I think it's just nice to talk 'Orphanage for young criminal'." Then whispered "And if our classmates listen, can help the rumors" and laughed to himself as a child laughing some childishness.

gaia_angelleft FIGHTERS gaia_angelright

The slight mischievous tone of Russell's voice captivated Isabel's attention. Leaving the scalpel on the table, she looked up to the classroom's ceiling with narrowed eyes, trying to piece together the bits of information that she could share with the boy. After a couple of seconds, she looked at her master and began to speak.
- Life was like a competition there. We all had already lost half of the game, but we still tried to fight, do you know what I mean? What was supposed to be a huge rehab for all the adolescents could easily be turned into hell. There were various rebellions, random fights and discussions. The people who worked there and the policemen we usually saw did not know how to deal with us.
The curious students who stared at Isabel and Russell quickly turned to face their desks when the girl's explanation mentioned "policemen". As the teacher approached them to help with the dissection, he said that the class was nearing its end.

"It seems that life there was pretty complicated indeed ..." Russell said seriously "Not only there, but you seem to have went through hell so for some time, and even after all that you're still a great being." Added innocently. Russell then suddenly grabbed the hands of Isabel placed it between the two and said looking deep in her eyes.
"So I won´t turn you away! Whenever you need help you can count on me! Never forget to call me when things get tough, we have a deal? " Realizing what he had done Russell looked around and noticed that everyone was looking at the two, even the teacher stared at them with a uncomfortable look, but avoided making any comment he could do. Russell dropped Isabel hands and said softly this time
"I think I overdid it, right?"

gaia_angelleft BURST gaia_angelright

It was a feeling of shock which took over the girl while her master spoke, leaving her completely frozen in place. Isabel stood still, trying to understand the burst of empathy released by Russell. For a scientist, he never seemed absolutely cold, but the boy could be as unpredictable as Isabel herself. "Perhaps he's just really lonely and that is somewhat dangerous" - she thought. With master and honey being the center of attention in the classroom once again, Isabel stared at the ceiling waiting for the teacher to call it a wrap, disconcerted. Feeling her master let go of her hands, she answered with a hint of anxiety in her voice:
- Yes... Maybe you did.
