Alice bite her lip almost enough to make it bleed. She was nervous as to how much trouble she had placed Janus in as Razziel swore in the elders language. Neither of them could understand him, the words streaming quickly from his lips as he paced behind Janus, his heels clicking loudly despite the dogs barking. Alice did however recognize the same word she had yelled at Aleks at the mall. She would have to ask either him or Dimitrius what it meant.
... on second though, maybe Mikeal would be a safer choice.
She was torn from her thoughts when Razziel suddenly leashed out and yanked Janus to a stand by his hair. She nearly shot up to protest but the icy tone of Razziel's warned her against.
"Stand and you will pay with your hid, girl," She sat down as the book was forced in front of her. "Read! In the mean time, Janus, those slacks are to be lowed. Teaching her you say? The girl is a dolt! She doesn't know any of the words! Are you so completely useless boy?!?!?"
Alice was torn between feeling completely depressed and becoming enraged. She was new at this, and Latin wasn't some easy language to learn, but he didn't have a right to call her an idiot or belittle Janus. Still she knew if she said anything, things would only get worse, and pulled the book up to start reading to the best of her abilities. Hopefully Aleks would come back soon.
Razziel in the mean time waited for Janus to lower her pants along with his boxers. He wasn't pleased that the boy was wearing such modern world clothing and silently blamed Mikeal for his lack of Dornell moral. Had he no honor? Turning the wispy whip back into a cane. Razziel readied his aim.
"Count them."
It was easy to tell what he wanted to do. He was lashing out at them both, probably because Seth back 'home' knew how to play the game and stayed mostly out of trouble. With Alice and Janus, just a bit of pushing and he would have reason enough.
Swwish CRACK! Swwish CRACK! Swwish CRACK! Swwish CRACK! Swwish CRACK! Swwish CRACK! Swwish CRACK!
