"Despite the odds!" Jez returned the figurative toast.

Jez let out a little snort through her nose. "I'm sorry, that was borderline Disney channel level wholesomeness."

"Oooh, that'll pair up so nicely next to Royal Handmaiden. Between that and having Dr. Doom as a reference, I could even shoot for a job at Waitrose. Or, dare a girl to dream, Harrods Food Hall?"

"I'm afraid you chose the wrong university for that minor," he smirked.

"Then again, the Institute did have a frighteningly high number of graduates take a dark turn for one length of time or another."

"Well they can't very well actually CALL it a villainy program, that's just silly. They call it by a code name that means the same thing - business administration."

Jezabelle mimed holding an invisible clipboard and pen.

"Let's see... handmaiden, dragonslayer, co-me-d-ian...." She stressed the last word as she "wrote" the word down.

"Also, dragon therapist. For those that you deem worthy of life."

"You, they get anxiety worrying about being slain and so you keep getting paid. It's not like dragons can go to anyone else. Business administration 101."

"To be fair, it's high reward with high risks. How does the saying go? Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, as you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup?"

"Talk like that'll have me callin' you Tex Critter if you're not careful." Jez snarked, unaware that the reference was extremely niche at best.

"Right! So think the same thing, but country and western themed, and the main guy was a dragon named Tex Critter. There was one near one of the bases Dad served on when I was little, and all of the kids used to have their birthday parties there."

"Yes, of course. 'cause in some universes I might be the dragon, and then you just can't compare." Jez said with some smug satisfaction as she pushed herself back onto her feet.

"I should probably stop interrupting your training though, and let you get back to violently disassembling the punching bag."
