open to Archemedes
Before, Jordy had never been so nervous about being around Professor Monroe. Of course, he'd had a crush - but Archemedes hadn't know about it. Now he knew about it. That put an entirely new level of nervousness into the boy's system, and he was more than sure that he'd get word from Archemedes that they couldn't study during spring break. But word never came, and instead Jordy kept his dinner date promise the next day, despite the fact that he was nervous. This time, however, he brought some papers he'd been working on - working together some defensive spells on his own for his final project for Archemedes class. He figured it would give them something relevant to speak of during dinner, and Archemdes would be keeping his promise of helping him study.

As they sat down, this time in the dining hall of the school, Jordy offered a warm smile as he slid the paper over to Archemedes. He was anxious to see what the man thought of his hard work. Two spells were nearly perfect. Aquatis was meant to encase an oppenent with water, and Entundo was to confuse them with a hallucination from their past. The one that needed the most work was Chimura, which was meant to cause a delirious fever - but something that physical, inside of the body, was hard for Jordy to get a grasp on.

"Thank you again for this," he said sincerely as he lifted his burger up to take a bite of it. It was still hot, like it was fresh from the grill though it had been sitting out for at least thirty minutes, and Jordy had to smile. He loved magic.

Archemedes had woken up with quite a hangover that morning. He was not as young as he used to be and when he'd gone down to get a potion from the nurse, she'd given him a disparaging look before handing over the goods. Archemedes couldn't care less what the stodgy old woman thought about him and he took the cure with gusto.

He'd worried about the study date--no, not a date, an appointment--with Jordy all day. The last thing he wanted to do was skip it, but he'd already been nervous because of the practice part. Now that he knew Jordy had a crush on him, he was even more afraid of what would happen. The practical exam was full of triggery situations for Archemedes, but he needed to test the kids in a real way.

Seeing Jordy was difficult because immediately he felt his heart pick up. How silly. This was a student. But his smile nearly rendered him speechless. Looking down at the paper, he started to read over it. After a moment, he let out a small laugh. "You're really very brilliant at this stuff," he had to say. The spells were very well constructed. "Chimura might be helped by focusing on one organ in the body. While it would limit it to humanoid creatures, it would strengthen it a great deal."

Jordy didn't realize just how unique he was. Usually when a student excelled at the physical side of magic, they didn't always do so well with things such as potion making or spell crafting, yet somehow Jordy managed rather well. Maybe it was because he worked so hard. Herbology was by far his weakest subject of study, he just found it so dull - and thus he wasn't always so great at potions, either. But spell crafting? Well, that was another story entirely.

"Thank you," he said with a smile that shone with genuine appreciation. Hearing Archemedes compliment him was like nothing else and it set Jordy on a natural high. he was always working hard to impress the man, and he always chalked it up to schooling - but now he knew that it was definitely in part of his crush him. "That's actually - why didn't I thin of that?" he laughed a bit, his cheeks going pink at the mention of focusing on one organ in the body. "You're brilliant."
