Bishop nodded to the comment about the injury opening not being often and was for some reason relieved to hear it wasn't a constant concern. Hearing him suggestion survivor's guilt, he made a face that said that was definitely on the table before looking back down to the potion, "Yeah... wonder...

December 15, 2005. Per the norm, on the day of the full moon, someone else was covering Bishop's class, though sometimes he'd have to take multiple days just so it wasn't super obvious to the uninitiated that the moon was the cause of his absence. He said to his students he was needed back with the ...

Bishop tilted his head side to side at the comment of "less trouble" figuring if Nigel ever passed out from bloodloss because he was unaware he was bleeding like he had been moments ago, it would be just as much trouble as getting someone to help heal the wounds, though he couldn't force h...

Bishop nodded in agreement to his statement about making sure nothing befell either of them, though if Bishop could find a secure enough spot, he could be sure of nothing befalling his fellow professor. What happened to him was of little consequence. Not of no consequence, he knew that, but he wasn'...

Bishop didn't ask questions but listened when Nigel explained the circumstances that led to his injuries. He nodded in understanding before answering the question he'd asked him first, "It was a matter of safety," he said, "At the Ministry, I had someone working with me who would make...

Bishop snorted at his comment about it never getting easier, "No it does not," he murmured, "Though I have found I've nearly found some means of making it easier, but I can't exactly continue that experimentation now that I'm here," he shook his head, "Some people might be g...

Bishop chuckled a little at Nigel batting off his offer for repayment twice and didn't push the matter. He'd find a way to pay back the favor in some way or another. He nodded, "Of course, and if you ever do figure that out, let me know," he smirked before picking up the case and starting ...

When Nigel mentioned the occupational hazard, Bishop gave a half laugh, "I thought all my days getting to the point of mastery made me more aware of my own supplies, but seems I should check my ego, huh?" he chuckled, shaking his head. He looked at him as he mentioned working alone and mad...

At Nigel seeming to correct him on Adeline's name, he gave a sheepish look, not having known it prior to be frank. He cleared his throat, "Guess she wasn't kidding on the "essential" part of the shop title, eh?" he mused. As Nigel then explained how the different charms on the bo...

Bishop had chuckled a little about the fact she mentioned Aubrey needed to be careful, "Maybe we ought to put up a sign and get all the dog owners to meet at once so you can find more friends for TJ," he said as they were going towards the door, and her holding his arm put a smile on his f...

Relationships: Bishop's relationships can be a bit complicated. He's got a strenuous relationship with his siblings after being gone a long time and after what happened with Tatiana's parents, and his own treatment of Tatiana after he was turned. They've come to understand more than before, but the...

Bishop glanced up when Nigel entered the staffroom and nodded to him in acknowledgment, "It's going," he said, rubbing the back of his neck but he noticed Nigel realizing what he had out, "It will be, just need to go shopping. I'm sure I'll find what I need in time," he said as h...

Bishop noticed the absent-minded motion but didn't point it out. When she mentioned the "off-limits" times, he nodded his head, "Okay," he said, tapping the table a bit before she mentioned finding someone to keep TJ, "I hear the Flying instructor has a Doberman that he take...

Bishop was seated at the table in the staffroom, having a suitcase open on the table in front of him. In the space between him and the suitcase, he had out a variety of herbs and ingredients and he seemed to be taking stock of what he had available. He still had some time before he needed to make th...

Bishop fidgeted as he waited for her answer, looking down at the table. He wasn't sure how she might interpret what he said, why didn't he just say that he liked her? It was so long ago now, it felt like another life...The longer the silence drew on the more his stomach seemed to knot up. When she f...

Bishop was quiet as he listened to her explanation of the things that occurred in their days here. He smirked a bit as she said she didn't want the rumor to ruin things. He rubbed the back of his head and cleared his throat as she mentioned him appreciating them being silenced, "Well... what if...

"I mean, the negative things, the weights that pulling us down," Bishop said, staring at the tabletop, "There was a lot of good before everything fell apart, and no, things can't ever be the same as it was then, but I'd rather focus on what we had rather than the things that ended up...

Her exclamation caused him to jump but he huffed a bit that she was telling him to not feel guilty but then said she had her own guilt. He looked over at TJ when she turned her attention to him, a bit impressed he hadn't really seen him come over. He took a deep breath and sat back, rubbing his fore...

"I wish a lot of things could have been different," Bishop murmured, taking a bite of his food, "Not necessarily what happened to me, but how I handled it... how I wasn't there when you all needed me the most," he said, looking at the plate, "And then I couldn't bear to try...

"It seems like it seems seasoned more than before, but as you said, that could just be because of us being older and it having been a while," Bishop said, though he was kind of pushing the food around now. Knowing what she'd been through, maybe that was why his siblings were so angry at h...

"I think you'd be surprised by the experiences some of the staff here have gone through," Bishop said, "I don't know in detail a lot of it, but I know that we're not the only ones with weights on our shoulders," he murmured. He was just saying it so she didn't feel like she coul...

Bishop nodded at the comment about the werewolf "thing", "I get it, not everyone's favorite with or without it," he said with a shrug before looking over towards the table. He smirked a little, "Ah, tea, thank you," he said as he started to the table, "It's feeling...

Bishop had been pacing a bit down the hall, not wanting to arrive too early, but after his class finished, he had too much nervous energy to go back to his own quarters. He wasn't entirely sure what he was feeling, he hadn't felt like this since... the Yule ball? He had to stop, get himself composed...

Bishop looked up as he felt her touch, the touch doing things to his heart. He nodded, "Okay," he murmured, "I'll look forward to it," he smirked a little ruefully. He didn't want to leave just yet, didn't want to let go... He didn't know what to say though, feeling like they'd s...

Bishop listened to her as she talked, looking down, but not at anything in particular, he just still wasn't super keen on eye contact. He usually actually found it distracting, especially when it came to her. He closed his eyes as she said she'd stayed at St. Mungo's a while. He took a deep breath b...
