[Sorting Hat 13] Always the plants. Also html fail /sob
[So after getting back late after the weekend with the other staff, Thijs doesn't really have a Happy Valentine's Day at all. The plants are much, much more aggressive today, and after both harassing and being harassed by them enough he's cancelling classes. A person can only cast so many charms to keep them at bay! It also doesn't help that the Tentaculas' idea of affection is about the same as an adolescent boy's, so they've been playing pranks, messing up the classrooms, and taking Thijs' things all day. They've also managed to get a good hold on most of the doors.]
There are NO Herbology classes today or for the rest of the week. Again, absolutely no Herbology classes, this applies to all years, all houses.
DO NOT come to the greenhouses or even be in the near vicinity.
Classes will resume wh----
[And the ink runs off rather ominously but really, it's just the plants. Hey, he needs that journal, you stupid vine. Now for another tug-o-war; and the students and staff probably won't be seeing him for a few days.]

[Okay, one, how did you get in, kid. And two, why are you you here? Thijs is currently hitting at a tentacula with his journal, which he's finally wrestled away from the plant, and now it keeps trying to get closer.]
Wh-
[Just a little speechless at the presence of Sana, here.]
What did I say?!
[And that look he's giving now is a bit poisonous.]
[action]
[Following directions is overrated, okay?!]
You said you were in danger! [...no, he didn't. Cool kids draw silly conclusions.] So I came to rescue you!
[She brandishes a rake that she grabbed on the way there.]
Lemme at 'em!
[action]
I said nothing at all like that!
They're only more active than usual. . .
[Or, that was his best explanation. In fact, they seem to keep wanting to be near to him, something that he'd find endearing if it weren't so odd. One of the tentacula gives Sana a curious poke.]
[action]
Plants aren't alive! At least not like that!
[She jumps when she's poked and latches onto Thijs, honstly a bit scared by this... plant hyperactivity.]
Professor, what did you do?!
[action]
[What is this, even; uncomfortable, he detaches Sana a bit carefully with a hand to her shoulder, then shoos the tentacula away with his hand as he edges a bit further away from it with Sana in tow. The tendril curls a bit - like they do when they're agitated, he noted - and he edges away even more. ]
Don't assume it's something I did!
[He wouldn't mess with them, he knows how temperamental they can be; He flinches as one of the biggest plants seems to be petting his hair.] ]
[action]
[She really thought he did! It's kind of disappointing when grown-ups aren't perfect. At least being this close to him is pretty reassuring.]
Does that mean you don't know how to handle 'em now either?
