Due to an unfortunate accident in my experimental facilities, all papers and assignments due this week in my Biology and Veterinary Sciences classes have been granted an extension until next week.

Please don't let this delay your completion of them- last minute work is still unacceptable.

But how do you know if it was last minute?

[cravats]

A great deal of experience.

[didiscareyouyet]

But I bet it's hard.

[treacletart]

Oh? What kind of accident?

[taketothesea]

I've contained the last of them.

[taketothesea]

You're happier not knowing.

[disarmingsmile]

May I ask when they will be graded then, sir?

[cravats]

Thank you, James. I really am sorry about rousting you out of bed.

[cravats]

Mr. Norrington and I will have them graded by the week after next.

[cravats]

The kind that utterly ruins three different experiments and sets you back at least a year.

[cravats]

Not particularly. There's a certain air of panic.

[notjustathief]

Oooh, convenient.

Er, I mean, I'm assuming you're okay after you unfortunate accident and all?

[wasneverfree]

Are you quite alright, professor?

[taketothesea]

It's allright, Professor. When I began a career in historical studies, I resigned myself to the inevitability of four a.m. ovinological emergencies. [:/]

[disarmingsmile]

What if I were to turn my assignment in today?

[cravats]

I'm afraid I can't promise that it won't get lost in the shuffle. If you're willing to take that risk, I'll certainly accept it.

[cravats]

I am going to take that to mean that you are glad for the chance to refine your work as of course you've already completed it.

But yes, I'm fine. I wasn't there at the time.

[cravats]

Oh, yes, I'm perfectly fine. Thank you for your concern- it's my experiments that are damaged.

[cravats]

I am so glad.

[taketothesea]

[No. You are not getting forgiven that easily. One *bit* him.]

[taketothesea]

You do realize this was a mass text.

[cravats]

I'm bringing pastries when I get there. Do you have any particular requests?

[He will make it up to James. He can't have his favourite TA bearing a grudge :(]

[taketothesea]

I would like a bear claw. [Or six.] And a doughnut.

[Sexual favors would also not go amiss.]

[disarmingsmile]

May I ask what exactly happened to cause this problem?

[cravats]

How would you like your tea, or would you prefer coffee today?

[He won't even judge him for that choice.]
