Vincent stretched idly, clasping his hands behind his head and leaning back against the stone bench he was reclining on. The courtyard was surprisingly empty for such a lovely spring afternoon; Liam Farrell was playing his harp somewhere nearby for a few eager listeners, but other than them and Vincent there was no one about.
He shut his eyes, tilting his face upward and smiling at the warmth of the sun on his skin. It was extremely comfortable here, with the breeze just light enough to caress one's body without causing a chill. Before Vincent knew it he had fallen into a light slumber.

Jaebi had looked everywhere for Professor Hawk-- the choir rooms were empty, no in the library had seen him, and he obviously could not go into the staff lounge. He had contemplated giving up and just talking with the man after their next choir practice, until he had glanced out a window and spotted the professor lying on a bench out in the courtyard. Jaebi has sprinted down two flights of stairs and run outside before he paused and composed himself. He hid his gift-- a new coffee mug to replace the one that had been broken, decorated with Phantom of the Opera lyrics and filled with mini-Reese's peanut butter cups.
Jaebi stepped quietly up to the man's side and bent to nudge his shoulder. "Ah... Professor?"

Vincent stirred and shifted in his sleep, his hands falling down to his sides. He mumbled incoherently in some strange dream, his eyes darting back and forth under their lids. When Jaebi nudged his shoulder, he jerked and flailed, still dreaming.
"No, Bob, no!" he cried out urgently. "The cheese will not protect you! Don't try to face the ducks alone!"
He woke up with a start, almost falling off the bench. Managing to catch himself, he lay still for a moment and blinked in confusion. Shaking his head, he shifted to sit upright on the bench again, muttering to himself. "Well, that was strange..."
He caught sight of Jaebi standing beside him, and grinned up at him. "Well, hello there."

Jaebi tried and failed to hide the huge amused grin that had plastered itself on his face.
"Ah... How about those ducks, professor?"

Vincent looked intently at Jaebi, his face growing very serious.
"Ducks are evil, evil creatures, my boy," he said solemnly. "Whatever you do, never, ever try to face them by yourself. You may do fine against one or two, but when the whole team of them gets involved, you will be sorry. Always have at least one other person with you if you need to face more than a few ducks at a time; I reccommend someone like Nina or Kazari. Oh, and don't bother bringing cheese, it never helps. Trust me. It may distract the ducks for a little while when they're eating it, but they always eat it too fast and then return to what they were doing."
He gave a sage nod and held Jaebi's gaze for a few seconds; then his composure broke and he burst out laughing.

Jaebi arched an eyebrow and chortled, shaking his head.
"I'll be sure to keep that in mind, Professor," he promised, his voice colored heavily with amusement. He grinned. "But... how would chocolates fair in distracting the ducks? Do they like Reese's peanut butter cups?"

Vincent took a moment to compose himself; he was still grinning when he answered Jaebi. "I wouldn't know, I've never fed chocolate to a duck. Next time I'm threatened by one, I might try it."

Jaebi produced the coffee mug from behind his back, filled with the chocolates. "You'll need these then, won't you?"

Vincent's eyebrows rose and his grin widened as he took the chocolate-filled mug from Jaebi. "Thank you, Jaebi. That's very sweet of you. I'm going to enjoy these -- and hopefully I won't need to feed them to any ducks."
He turned the mug around in his hands, smiling as he read the Phantom of the Opera lyrics written on it. "This is lovely. I'll be sure to put it to great use."

Jaebi took a seat on the bench. "I heard you'd broken yours. And I wanted to apologize for not being there to help out that day." He ran a hand through his hair. "I was resting off a chest cold, but you were seriously ill." He gave a wry grin. "So I asked Ariel what kind of candy you liked and got this mug to replace the shattered one. Heh."

Vincent continued to grin. "I'm sorry to hear you were ill too. I'm glad we're both feeling better now." He chuckled. "Our Ellie is a miracle worker. I've always said so."
