Outside of Hunting Class, 7th period

Blair didn't have a sign today. Instead he was handing out a flyer to anyone in the hallway.

3 Tips for Dealing with Conflict

Discover - Find out more about the situation. Go into this with all the facts.
Communicate - Talk things over. Maybe you and the other person/demon/monster can come to an agreement!
Avoid - Learn when to walk away. Not everything has to end up as a battle.

Jim grinned back and took it, reading over it with an eyebrow lifted. "Looks good. Think it'll work?"

"Thanks, man." Blair bounced. "Think what'll work? The tips or me giving them out?"

"Both."

"The tips are sound. I'm sure those will work if you come up against something." Blair shrugged. "I don't know that this will be more effective than the protesting, but hopefully it'll go over better with Mr. Winchester."

Jim shook his head. "I'm still amazed you didn't get landed in detention for that one last week."

"By the time Mr. Winchester saw the sign I sorta already knew it had been a bad choice." Blair shook his head. "So when he told me I could either apologize to Dean and Sam or take detention, it was an easy choice."

Jim nodded. He looked at the flyer in his hand again, looking for something to say.

"Feel free to try those in class today!" Blair bounced excitedly. "I can even give you extras to pass out to anyone who I might have missed!"

Jim sighed resignedly at Blair's excited bouncing. "I'll . . . try," he said grudgingly. Somehow he didn't think demons, etc., programmed by John Winchester would be particularly receptive to a peaceful resolution.

Blair was totally oblivious to any sighing. "Thanks, man. It's great to have people who are in this fight with me."

Jim patted him on the shoulder. "Sure, Chief. Sure."

"So's how are you doing with the..." Blair waved a hand. "You know we should really come up with a code word or phrase or something."

"Like, operation panther or the duck crows at midnight or one-legged flamingo."

Jim rolled his eyes. "We are not using a code word. Especially one like that."

Blair didn't really pay attention to that. "We can get walkie talkies and I can be hair boy and you can be less-hair-boy."

"I don't need a walkie-talkie, remember?" Jim ignored the ridiculous nicknames.

"Not all of us have ears like yours, man." Blair bounced. "I'll have to wait and see how much money I have left over after parents weekend to buy them."

"Oh, hey. Are your parents coming? I could see if they've got enhanced senses too!"

Jim's face closed over and he glanced up and down the hallways before stepping closer, one hand coming up to gesture as he spoke. "No, they aren't coming. Look. You aren't going to mention this thing to my dad, alright? He is the last person I want to know."

"Uh, personal bubble intrusion, man." Blair said worriedly before reaching up to place a hand on Jim's chest. "I won't mention it, man. Don't wowry."

"Good," Jim grumbled, jamming his hands back in his pockets. "Not that it matters. Got a call from my dad. He's not coming."

Blair gave Jim a soft pat before stepping back. "Sorry, man."

"My mom called to say she was coming." Said in the same tone as the apology, it wasn't clear whether Blair thought that was a good thing or not.

Jim shook his head. "'Salright." He eyed Blair. "You okay with that? Your mom coming, I mean." He wondered what it would be like to have a nice relationship with one's parents.

"Oh, I don't have any problems with Naomi coming." Blair smiled. "It's the leaving that's a problem. She wants to make sure I'm not getting too attached and if I am...she's ready to take me with her to a retreat in Florida."

"Whoa." Jim's eyebrows lifted. "That seems . . . extreme."

"Naomi tends to get that way sometimes." Blair shrugged. "But it's okay. I'm a master at obfuscation!"

"Obwhatnow?"
