Tupi: *Pads down the shadowed hallway, his fur damp from his showers and smelling of soap. Looks around in a wary manner, glaring at any moving portrait that he passes*
Rykier: -Lays curled up on the side of the hall in a lazy and tired sort of manner. He blinks every now and again when a new random thought pops in to his head-
Tupi: *Comes to a stop when he spots the Headmaster.* Sleepin' oan th' job Ah see...
Rykier: -Blinks boredly up at Tupi- Almost as much as you are advertising your a** to the world Mr.Mckay. Don't be surprised when some pounces on it, like Professor Niyt.
Tupi: *Bristles, a blush working its way his neck. Bares his teeth as he snarls.* Ah am nae advertisin' anythin'!
Rykier: -Rests his head on his paws and tilts his head a bit- Tell that to your clean wet self McKay. I'm sure your toosh and the DADA professor would say differently.
Tupi: *Shakes his head* Whaur ur ye gettin' these delusions frae Headmaster?
Rykier: Mr.McKay, I know every little detail of the finest grain that goes on in this school. If I don't get the information right then in there, then I get it eventually. I am not stupid or blind, and I know what my own staff does, especially with it comes to my students. -Grins- I know of you and Niyt, so don't deny it. I know he messes with you and what he gets at. It is no delusion of the eyes and mind.
Tupi: *Eyes narrow into dangerous slits* Th' delusion is 'at ye seem tae hink 'at somethin' has happened atween he an' Ah.
Rykier: -Shrugs and just stares at Tupi- Well I never hear of you running away from him, or fighting back. From what I hear you just sit there spitting unwavering venom in his face, which I suppose turns him on even more since he keeps trying for you.
Tupi: *Rolls his eyes* Hoo is it mah faut if mah attitude attracts heem? Thes is fa Ah am, an' aye hae bin! [How is it my fault if my attitude attracts him? This is who I am, and always have been.]
Rykier: -Raises to his paws and slowly circles Tupi- Oh, I know very well who you are Tulip. I know about your parents, family, infancy, childhood, life before you were ever sent that letter to come to Hogwarts.
Tupi: *Tenses, his eyes widening as dread fill him. Eyes narrow as he hisses out with malice* Ye lie!
Rykier: Oh, am I? -Grins maliciously as he continues to circle Tupi- Tupi McKay, 16, born as an unwanted unexpected child to wealthy couple who own an extremely promising line of clothing stores in Scotland. Grew up in the illusion of trust, love and care, in a basement, and still does. Was rarely ever let out anywhere or known about. Only reason you are around is cause getting rid of you would be bad publicity and you parents just love taking advantage of that cute little face of yours. Shall I go on to talk about the parties?
Tupi: *Ears flop back as feels the blood draining from his face and his mouth go dry* H-hoo dae ye ken abit 'at? [How do you know about that?]
Rykier: -Shrugs as his grin grows from Tupi's reaction. He bends down to whisper in the student's ear- It just love digging up dirt on my students Mr.McKay. I makes me feel..closer to them.
Tupi: *Grits his teeth, his legs shaking with fury as he holds back tears* Mah life is nane ay yer business! [My life is none of your business!]
Rykier: -Ears flick as he looks away and holds back a frown- I think I hear a parrot calling. Either way, whether you like it or not, your life is my damn business, and when you are in high society and are a Slytherin, that just bumps it up even more.
Tupi: *Growls, his tail flicking in contained anger* Dae ye aye gang stickin' yer beak in places whaur it's nae wanted Headmaster? [Do you always go sticking your nose in places where it's not wanted Headmaster?]
Rykier: -Raises a brow at Tupi and gives him a serious and stern look- Mr.McKay, do you think you are the only one who had a ******** up life? Maybe I am, or am not sorry for "sticking my head in to your business," but you are a student here, and I had to look.
Tupi: *Snarls* Hoo am Ah supposed tae ken whit coonts as a ******** up life ur nae when they didne allaw me tae e'en hae a body! [How am I supposed to know what counts as a ******** up life or not when they didn't allow me to even have one!] *Trembles, then closes his eyes as he reigns in his emotions*
Rykier: -Frowns at Tupi and reaches out placing a paw on the boy's shoulder- McKay..Tupi..have you ever thought about you life here, at Hogwarts?
Tupi: *Shakes his head, his claws scraping against the floor as he flexes them while trying not to think about his parents. Doesn't even seem to notice Rykier's touch*
Rykier: Well when I was a student I always thought of it this way; my time of Hogwarts was like..I guess you can say a 2nd life. Kind of a mix between how I wanted my life to be, and an illusion to myself. I could be how I wanted, go where I wanted when we could leave school grounds, do what I wanted, with in the rules of course, and etc.
Tupi: *Laughs dryly* Ur ye sayin' Ah shoods view it 'at way? 'at life ends ance th' skale year is ower, an' ance 'at happens ye an' th' professors fix thes, *Lifts his paw and stares at it* Ah gie sent back tae them. [Are you saying I should view it that way? That life ends once the school year is over, and once that happens and you and the professors fix this, I get sent back to them.]
Rykier: No, I'm saying that exactly, but it is better than nothing, isn't it? Taking when you can when the opportunity comes about. You either take it, or you miss it and end up missing out on what you were never, and may never, be able to have. I will tell you this though, if you don't rip the leash you parents have you on some point, even when you are old enough and move it, you will still be tied and locked up.
Tupi: *Stares down at the ground, then turns his head to stare at Rykier, looking anywhere but into Rykier's eyes.* ...Hn *Looks away, not willing to admit that Rykier is right*
Rykier: -Just sits there staring at Tupi- Also, just so you know, even if your parents suck, you should be lucky to at least have someone who takes care of you in some way.
Tupi: *Thinks of his parents friends, then looks Rykier in the eyes and bluntly says* Eh'd raither hae nae a body. [I'd rather have nobody]
Rykier: You have no idea how lonely it is to have no body in the world, to have no body to care about you or even give a second thought about you cause to them you are like everybody else and a nobody.
Tupi: *Smirks in a darkly amuses manner* Ye obvioosly dornt ken as much as ye hink 'en headmaster. it is huir uv a much possible fur someain tae tak' caur ay ye, an' view ye as bein' less than dirt [You obviously don't know as much as you think then Headmaster. It is very much possible for someone to take care of you, and view you as being less than dirt]
Rykier: I know that Mr.McKay, but still, -shakes his head not wanting to go in to it all that much- To each their own view at something. Either way each person is lonely and ******** up by life, and might just rather rot away than waking up in the morning to go on with life.
Tupi: *Scoffs* Eh'd ne'er be weak enaw tae jist lay an' rot. *Quietly hisses out, more to himself* Aam gonnae crush them[I'd never be weak enough to just lay and rot... I'm going to crush them]
Rykier: Someone seems determined to step all over their parents even though they have taken all the crap for 16 years so far.
Tupi: *Sends Rykier a blank stare, then shrugs. Stands and moves to put distance between himself and Rykier.* Ah can bite back noo.
Rykier: -Raises a brow at Tupi and scuffs- Really? To me it looks more like you were gnawing, like a toothless baby.
Tupi: *Sits once he's put a decent amout of space between himself and Rykier. Sends Rykier an annoyed glare, having regained full control of himself.* Whit ur ye talkin' abit Headmaster? [What are you talking about Headmaster?]
Rykier: And here I thought you were one of the smart Slytherins. Makes me sad knowing you are representing the house. Oh well. -Shrugs it off and examines his paws-
Tupi: *Bristles at the insult, then shrugs adn flattens his fur back down.* An' it makes me queasy 'at someain loch ye runs th' skale. Guess we'll baith hae tae bide wi' 'at. [And it makes me queasy that someone like you runs the school. Guess we'll both have to live with that.]
Rykier: -Rolls his eyes and he gets up and acts like he is walking away past Tupi to leave, but them scoots behind the boy and reaches out running a claw down the boy's cheek and using the other on to wrap around Tupi's waist and bring him close. Whispers- And why is that? Am I really that much of a bad Headmaster? Do I anger you?
Tupi: *Tenses, his eyes widening as a blush instantly shoots up his neck* O-och aye. [Yes.]
Rykier: -Chuckles and gently pets Tupi- Sorry Kid, I couldn't help it. I wouldn't be like Niyt and do something like that to a student, so don't worry.
Tupi: *Trembles under the petting, almost kind of like he expects Rykier to suddenly yank his hair or hit him*
Ryier: -Shakes his head at Tupi's trembling and lets go of him, taking a seat next to him- Fine, fine. I won't touch you.
Tupi: *Calms once he's released, scooting away to put space between them again. Mutters* What's wi' th' damn professors in thes damn skale? [What's with the damn professors in this damn school?]
Rykier: -Whistles and examines his paws one more, his ears flicking at the comment- Right, I think we can ask the same for all you damn students, so you shouldn't be talking Mr.McKay.
Tupi: *Shudders since he now feels the need to shower again* We're yoong, we're supposed tae be strange
Rykier: I think some of you past strange a long time ago. Especially that little girl friend of yours. She seems......Yeah.
Tupi: Lassie? *Searches his memory* ... *Snorts* Th' a bampot wench? She's nae a mukker, she's jist a puppit [The crazy wench? She not a friend, she's just a puppet.]
Rykier: -Raises a brow and looks away mumble- They apple really doesn't fall too far from the tree...
Tupi: *Glares* Ye shoods ken, ye a bampot auld cheil [You should know, you crazy old man]
Rykier: -Looks back over at Tupi- Oh, and why do you say that?
Tupi: Aam nae th' only a body wi' an unwanted female clingin' tae them. *Smirks* Thocht mine jist wants tae dae mah biddin', yoors wants ye tae bang 'er.[I'm not the only one with an unwanted female clinging to them. Though mine just wants to do my bidding, yours wants you to bang her.]
