"o.o there's more?" Max asked, immediately removing her hand from his head. "You know, I think I am still feeling dizzy, I don't think I start teaching classes today, maybe tomorrow" he faked obviously.

"Hmmm..." She put her forehead against his, "You don't have a fever..." She got up and spoke dramaically, "It's a shame. The kids were looking forward to your class today. Some students even requested to be added. All those young minds, eager to hear words of wisdom from their elder hobbit fellow..."

"Oh how tragic!" Max sighed, "I suppose I will just have to brave the outdoors. Hopefully I won't collapse in the yard-but the class must go on!"

She smirked, "Alright, little hobbit. You've got about an 45 mins till breakfast."

"Alright" Max nodded, going to pick out what he'd wear for the day.

They headed out together. It was a cool morning and the forest was quite lovely. They even spotted a fox a little bit of the path.
It sat majestically on the top of a ridge staring down at them as they walked by.

Max had to scramble a little to keep up to her pace but eventually he got the hang of it. "So what happens if it rains? Where do I take the students?"

"Not to worry, we've set up a small magic circle around the area. It'll keep the weather out. Annnnd if that doesn't work we might have to cancel the class." A hissing cat noise could be heard a little ways off. Miss Ambrose looked up and over toward the sound which happened to be up on the ridge.

Max paused and looked over, "what was that?"

"...Not sure."
There was a huge rustling in the bushes and a rather familiar looking cat came out of the bushes, it stand down on the path and licked his paws before running up and rubbing against Max.

"Hm? Hey there" Max knelt to pet it, "What are you doing here?"

It looked up at him and purred as if that was an apporaite answer to his question and then ran off, leaving a few bloody paw prints behind him.

"I think he likes you." Miss Ambrose stated blankly.

"Huh... evidently" Max observed, "I swear I saw that same cat back in New York"

"How odd. He hangs out around the school. The students seem to take turns taking care of the little fellow." She looked up at the gate where a tall blonde fellow stood, "Good Morning Thor." She greeted

"Greetings fair lady!" thor stated, "doest thou require any aid in the smiting of beasts today?"

Max looked between them oddly.

Miss Ambrose laughed lightly, " I'm not quite sure what you mean by beasts. Though our students do tend to be beastly at time." She thought out loud putting her finger to her lips.

"And here I though Dr. McCoy was here" Max chuckled.

Thor blinked in confusion, "but what of the adorable spirit creature? Are there more?"

"OH. You're talking about those beasts." Miss Abrose acted like she just figured it out. "This area seems to attach corrupted spirits. Might have something to do with the fact the school is built on an old scet ward. You know, the creatures that Ceres witch fights. Thor just so happened to go into town the other day and see one for himself. I don't know how SHE does it." She hinted at, giving Thor a look of 'HELLO secret identity.'

Thor blinked again, none of the avengers had secret identities and the whole concept seemed lost on him. "uuhhh... yes..."

"You know I should really get to class" Max gave them odd looks before turning to head off.

"Alright. I'm just gonna let Mr. Thor here know what he can do to help today." Miss Ambrose stated, "Good get them little hobbit."

Max smiled and ran off. Thor looked back at Miss Ambrose for explanation.

With resulted in being slapped in the arm, once Max was out of sight. "What part of 'Secret identity' aka no one knows who I really am don't you understand?" She hissed, arms crossed.

"... much of it." Thor tilted his head, "What purpose doest one of such wondrous origin and power need for such a secret?"

"Because of people like your brother, that's why. Come on, I could use a watch dog while I purity myself in the lake. I'll never hear the end of it if Grandfather finds out I haven't done it yet this month."

"As you wish My lady" Thor gave a bow.
