*Balthazar is looking at her in disbelief* Tell me you didn't just chase off another tutor.

Define "chase".

Torment the poor bastard until he was ready to throw himself back into the pit like you did with Homer....

I did no such thing. He just didn't seem to like the puppy.

*He screwed his eyes shut and rubbed at his forehead.* Circe, darling, didn't we talk about that already? No cerberus or hounds around the tutors! Caesar didn't even have the constitution to stomach them.

But they were lonely...

And we need teachers! There's no way we'll be able to keep control of the kingdom if we're nothing more than- than-- uneducated children! Do you want to prove Lilith right?

Well no...but you already know like everything there is to know. And Az and I are bound to pick it up eventually.

I mean...how could I say no... *she motions to the hound that she is on the ground beside, hugging*

You and Az hate me, don't you? Well, not Az so much. He's good for the pretty ones, but Circe- I'm going to have to take over for you if you keep this up. *He's getting exasperated.*

Why didn't you like this one?

Take over for us doing what?

Tutoring! I'm the only one they'll stay in a room with now. *He's practically whining.*

No you don't. We'll work it all out somehow. *pets the puppies, clearly not seeing the problem*

Circe, please swear you won't break the next one? We're running out of options.

I'll try.

'nother what?

~~Younger!Circe, meet young!Saxsice~~

Tutor. They tend not to last long.

~~Awesome! I need little Circe icons...or at least younger Circe icons.~~

*frowns, scrunching nose* Y'have a tutor? *absently rubs stomach*

~~Hmmm....y'can try here (http://community.livejournal.com/kbell_still/) or here (http://community.livejournal.com/good_vmicons/)...~~

*nods* My brothers and I do. Yeah.

~~OMG Awesome! Love you!~~

Wow. That must be kinda fun...cept when you scare em off. *giggles*

Thank you, thank you, I live to please. I know the pain of having insufficient icons. *pokes Ryan's PB*

*laughs* I didn't. The puppy did.

*gasps* You've gotta puppy?! Really?! Cool!

I've got nine puppies, actually.

D'awwwww, really? I'd love a puppy, but....*sighs, rubs stomach* Well, I'd never be able to keep up.

You're pregnant...?

*giggles* Couldn't ya tell?

*nods* How far?

Got another month n' a half. I'll never make it. Kid won't stop kickin'.

*knows absolutely nothing about being pregnant and so will take her word for it* Okay... *nods* I'm afraid Ive never been around anyone pregnant before.

*giggles* S'okay, me neither. S'all right, not somethin' I'd really recommend, but....it happens. *shrugs*

Circe! That one was pretty! Now we're going to have to stare at some musty old man again. I'm tired of never getting to have pretty tutors.

Well he shouldn't have been so afraid of the puppy...

Sister, he's new. Where he comes from puppies don't usually have three heads and eat people.

I told you to leave the puppy in your rooms, at least until he's gotten used to dealing with tutors and things.

*pouts* But he didn't want to stay in my rooms. He was lonely.
