59 Unemployed (2/2)

Before Asrael was dropped off, Arius briefed him on his identity, along with his decided age, 15. Arius did the math for everyone when it came to their ages, he didn't go by how they looked, but rather something else. Zuna had aged like a mortal until 13, and right now she was at least 500. He estimated that each century would add a year, and so Zuna should be about 18.

Well, there was a lot that Arius had to figure out, or at least it seemed like it. Truth was, he liked being busy, having something to do gave him a reason to exist. To say that he would investigate something based on just curiosity wasn't far off, in fact, he would find a reason other than curiosity. He liked doing ground breaking things.

When Arius dropped Dante off, he got out of the car and walked him to his classroom. He grinned upon hearing the teachers praising Dante's bunny onesie.

”Look at the little bunny!”

”Adorable!”

”What a good dad!”

”I think he's in Lin's class…”

Indeed, Dante was in Mrs. Lin's class, and Arius had shown up in her classroom to meet her. He and Dante were practically ambushed when they entered.

”You must be Johnson!” Mrs. Lin quickly appeared in front of the two. She was a responsible teacher, and made sure to meet the parents of all her students.

”I am, and this is Dante.” Arius lowered himself to be able to lay his hand on top of Dante's floppy bunny ears.

”It's nice to meet you, Dante.” The teacher smiled at the boy, and in return the boy nodded as if to accept her existence.

”Anyway, I have a lot to get done today, so I have to get going.” Arius turned to leave before Mrs. Lin could try to make more conversation.

Dante furrowed his eyebrows cutely as he thought: ”What to you have to get done? You're unemployed…”
