“Noted. You won’t see me barging in unless it’s an emergency bit next time. An interesting mix indeed but not unheard of. Must be interesting to see shock on students faces with the shapeshifting though. Some probably don’t suspect you right away and still would be skeptical til the first lesson, I imagine. Pleasure to meet you as well, Shirin.”

“journalism is my true talent, shapeshifting is simply something i can do. those who doubt me are quickly corrected, usually when i shift into a mid-sized feline. maybe it surprises them, but it’s a part of my nature. and i can do it well, which is probably the reason they allow me to teach it here.” she explains. “how did you end up here teaching music?”

“Oh!” Naomi squeaked, turning around with a flush on her face. “I didn’t know that you were getting dressed! I–I should have knocked. I’m so sorry.” Naomi cautiously turning back around, offering the object in her hands forward. “I had left over cheesecake from–well, I suppose I was simply in the mood for cheesecake but–I just thought I’d offer you some, Ms. Talebi.”

unwanted intruders were oddly common, which irritated shirin greatly. she was a person who didn’t really appreciate interruptions, so it was only natural that she was quite vexed. even despite her irritation, shirin didn’t have the heart to say the somewhat malicious words forming in her mind – she did like her colleagues and complicated relationship in workplaces never ended well. “apology accepted – do remember to knock the next time?” she settled for amiable words and a tight smile. in truth, it was always a pleasure when someone brought her treats, so her irritation was gradually vanishing already. “how kind of you to think of me, ms. solom. it’s much appreciated – i definitely need something to cheer me up after today’s lessons.” she sighed.

    “And does finishing a lesson some how involve needing to undress? Please, don’t put on your clothes for my sake.” Andy raised her brow, stepping into the room with little care. Somehow, she was amused by the sight of an annoyed shirin. “Ah, I did come here to ask for a favor but I’d much rather do anything but work right about now. I don’t think I’m done teasing you for the shirt thing just yet, anyway.” 

“some of us teach shapeshifting, remember? wearing several layers of clothes isn’t exactly ideal when one shifts into a large cat.” she always teaches the shapeshifting class in a tank top, in case a demonstration is needed. it does result in situations like this every once in a while but shirin doesn’t really care. “we can talk about the favor you want later – has it been a long day for you? yes, keep on teasing me, you know how much i love that.” she’s mostly kidding, of course. the relationship she has with andy is comfortable enough that shirin isn’t offended.

The glare didn’t seem to phase the werewolf but then again, she could deal her own out quite effectively as well. Oh, this one had an attitude Xiomara could probably manage to get along with. A no nonsense type of approach. She liked that already. “Haven’t had the chance to meet you so I wanted to take the time before my classes take me over. I’m the music professor on campus, Xiomara Diaz.”

ah, another professor she hadn’t met yet. it seemed like there was quite a lot of those – maybe she should start socializing more? after all she wasn’t planning on leaving her post in the near future, so maintaining civil relationships with her colleagues was perhaps a good idea. “fair enough – though next time i’d appreciate a warning before coming in.” she gave her a tight smile, but at least it was a smile, right? “i’m shirin talebi and i teach journalism and shapeshifting. an odd mixture, maybe, but i’m just mixing my talents. it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

willa finally looks at the handed back assignment for the day and frowns. a c? she thought this was some of her better work. she’d been careful to include a detailed who, what, when, where, and why for her fake article — and yet, still, a c. normally she’s just fine with that, she knows she isn’t the best student in the class or any class, but after all that hard work? she walks over to professor talebi’s classroom, really hoping she doesn’t have a class and foolishly swings the door open. “oh gosh, professor. i am so sorry.” she slinks back out the door and waits until she hears — ‘how can i help you?’ 

she steps back through the door and swallows, nodding apologetically. “sorry, professor. i just- i was looking back at my article assignment and i- really, i am so sorry i interrupted you, it will never happen again- but um, i was wondering what i did wrong?”  

irritation flows through her, even though it’s unjustified – students have the right to ask about their grades even if it annoys her. that combined with the sudden intrusion doesn’t make the situation the most ideal for willa. “for your sake, i hope so.” her words are clipped and the meaning comes through clearly. it’s perhaps a bit harsh, but then again that’s not something shirin cares about. she spends a few seconds wondering about her answer before speaking again. “well, miss tonks, your piece wasn’t completely atrocious, but it did seem quite forced, somehow?” she does give an honest answer despite her irritation. “all the necessary points were included, but the writing wasn’t that impressive. you’ll need to practice if you wish to get better grades from this class.”

       shit, shit, shit, shit. it couldn’t be. finley. alive. no. she had seen a ghost. a cruel ghost. strangely warm and inviting and still unfairly kind. was this hell on earth? was this her end?

       she took a moment to collapse against her door frame after finley left, sobbing. sure, she’d believed finley’s words to some extent, but with her suddenly gone again, tani couldn’t help, but think maybe it had just been an apparition. she was going crazy and someone was probably going to take her away.

       she had watched fin die. five years ago, almost to the date, she’d told her best friend what her and finley were and she snapped. she tried to kill her and when finley stepped in — well, she thought she had for sure killed her. there had been too much blood for anyone to survive and moments later, she was gone. finley was gone. evaporated to nothing — just as she was now. 

      then after taking a few breaths and trying to find her way to her feet, she took one last look around, to see if maybe finley was still there before bolting to professor talebi’s office. 

      “professor, i don’t know how. and maybe i’m just going crazy, so just lock me up, but i- i saw my sister. i thought alive? but now i’m not so sure. i think my mind is just playing tricks on me. what’s wrong with me?”

when she became a professor, shirin had been told that maintaining good relationships with the students was crucial. most of the time she deliberately ignored that piece of advice – she was there to teach, not to coddle and be lenient when it wasn’t needed. there were exceptions, of course. some students who were somehow captivating or simply familiar managed to become her favorites. vitani luca was a good example of this. a fellow hellcat with similar characteristics, of course she became one of her few favorites.

that’s exactly the reason why her temper didn’t flare up when she bolted to her office. tani was a welcomed presence there, especially when it seemed like the student had some issues powering her. “calm down, miss luca.” her tone lacked emotion, but it didn’t mean she cared any less. she was always willing to help her favorites.

“think rationally. yes, you strongly believe that your sister is dead, but are you absolutely certain of that? is there any chance that she might indeed be alive?” shirin didn’t look very shaken because of tani’s distraught, and in truth she wasn’t. that made helping her easier – a different point of view always helped.

“can you wait for a second – i just finished a lesson.” usually professor shirin talebi does not put up with intruders, but she’s in a good mood and willing to forgive. she finishes buttoning up her shirt and then looks at the person with the usual withering glare. “how can i help you.” a statement, not a question.

(don’t let the gif fool you – seeing her like that happens once in every hundred years)

╰ ° 「 SARAH SHAHI / THIRTY-FOUR / CIS FEMALE / SHE/HER 」have you seen shirin talebi around campus ?? they are a hellcat who used to live here on campus. apparently they teach journalism & shapeshifting now. some say that they are cultured and insightful but can be decadent and grouchy !! who knows though ?? maybe we’ll see them at the next party ??

hello hi hi i’m ava and i’m really excited ?? with me i’ve brought your resident journalism & shapeshifting professor, shirin talebi who looks a lot like sarah shahi....  she’s also a hellcat which comes really handy as she’s teaching shapeshifting??

so hellcat, yeah – she’s able to shift into an eurasian lynx which is a bit of an anomaly due to her iranian heritage but apparently her mother’s (a fellow hellcat) hellcat genes come from there so whoops a bit different

she’s been traveling across the world since she graduated from hexlore

she has only recently returned there to teach

most important point is that she has no time for bullshit

like, zero time

she’s a good teacher, but she’s also a very bad one

it’s because shirin hates incompetence and maybe favors some of the students

oh yes she’s hella gay

doesn’t really flaunt it around that much though

but she gets crushes very easily smh as soon as there’s a girl who’s her type her brain goes crazy

it irritates her so usually if she gets crushes on her students she might be kinda rude to her??

she’s brilliant but the constant grumpiness kind of tones it down

she doesn’t talk about her family. she has one but she doesn’t really care

ok these are a bit lame but i wanted to get these out!! i would love to plot with all of you, i want to get her the favorite students, crushes, friends.... the list is endless and i am open to everything !!!
