The Secrets of Lady Lesso - Chapter 2

A few weeks had passed since Clarissa Dovey had mustered the courage to ask the Dean of Evil about her cane. And it was a few weeks of pure torture. Her curiousity burned hotly and she needed to know the truth. If she were honest, she had never really thought about why the other woman used it. It was just part of her. Always had been, as far as Clarissa remembered. But being denied the knowledge made her thirst for it now. Especially since the woman in question seemed to take such pleasure in letting the world wonder. 

Lady Lesso had been avoiding her ever since orientation. She would catch flashes of vibrant red hair rounding corners and by the time Dovey had made it to the end of the hall, Lesso was gone. She had not been present at meals. Nor was she spending any time in the library. In her absence, Clarissa realized just how comfortable she had gotten with the other woman’s presence. She was finding that she missed the little moments they seemed to share now that they were gone. 

Well, she couldn’t avoid her forever. The first quarter staff meeting was scheduled for this evening. And it was mandatory. 

All of the other staff members sat bored in their chairs. Most had arrived on time and had been waiting for Dovey to start the meeting for nearly twenty minutes. Except they were still short by one very specific and very stubborn, Evil Dean. 

“Where in the Ever loving world is she?”

“Professor Dovey,” an Ever teacher started hesitantly. “Perhaps we could start without her? I’m sure you could fill her in on any events of the meeting. That is to say, many of us have lesson plans to finalize.”

Clarissa was once again overcome with embarrassment. “Yes! Yes, of course.”

As it happened, Lady Lesso barged into the meeting a grand total of forty-five minutes late. 

“…and I will be taking volunteers for the planning of this year’s Snow Ball.” Dovey continued, narrowed eyes following Lesso in a heated glare until she loudly found her seat. 

“I will help coordinate that for you, Clarissa.” Emma Anemone volunteered. 

“Wonderful!” Dovey clapped. “If nobody has anything else to add…”

Chairs began scraping against the stone of the floor. 

“Lady Lesso, a word, please.” 

The woman paused mid-rise from her seat and sighed, dropping back into the cushioned chair. Dovey waited until the room had cleared before perching primly in the chair directly next to Lesso. The woman appeared unbothered, inspecting her sharp, silver painted nails casually. 

Dovey uncharacteristically let her shoulders slump as she splayed her hands against the table. Nervously, she began scratching at a chip in the wood, refusing to look at the woman next to her. 

“If I… apologize…” Dovey started and cleared her throat. “For asking invasive and personal questions, will you quit acting like a child?”

Clarissa didn’t look, but she could feel Lesso stiffen in her seat. 

“ The Clarissa Dovey, Dean of Good, Fairy Godmother extraordinaire, would actually apologize to little old me? ” Lesso asked with sarcastic surprise, placing a hand against her chest. 

Dovey’s gaze finally cut to Lesso’s in an exasperated side-eye and a pout on her lips. 

A slow, toothy grin grew on the redhead’s face. 

“If it means you’ll talk to me again, then yes.” Clarissa admitted quietly, once again averting her eyes. 

Lesso’s self-satisfied smile instantly fell. She uncrossed her legs and braced her forearms on her knees as she leaned forward, attempting to see Dovey’s face. 

“Look, Dove…” Lesso mumbled awkwardly. “It never…offended me that you asked.” 

She gestured halfheartedly at her leg. 

“Then why have you been avoiding me?!” Clarissa cried, irritation finally bubbling to the surface. 

Lady Lesso let loose a barking laugh and rose from the chair. “I like watching you squirm.”

She tapped her cane jauntily, heading toward the door. 

“Excuse me?” Dovey sputtered incredulously as a pretty blush climbed up her neck. 

“I’m evil, princess. It’s what I do.” 

“Lesso?” 

The Dean of Evil paused with her hand on the knob, inclining her head. 

“What happened to your leg?” Clarissa asked curiously. 

Leonora turned to look at her over her shoulder. 

“Chernabog.” She shrugged.  

Lady Lesso smirked and with a devilish wink, sauntered out the door.

The Secrets of Lady Lesso

“I heard she got in a fight with a dragon and all that’s left is a charred block of flesh!” 

“That’s stupid! I heard the dragon bit it off and the leg is an illusion.” 

Professor Dovey rolled her eyes at the antics of the two Ever boys sitting closest to the podium. Lady Lesso, to her credit, remained stoic. 

It was a new year with a new batch of students and Dovey was loathe to admit that they seemed to be growing dumber with every new term. Of course Lady Lesso hadn’t gotten in a fight with a dragon. She would have heard about that!

…right? 

But now that she thought about it, she could remember quite a few different scenarios the Dean of Evil had provided as to why she used a cane. And none of them were ever the same. 

“I got in a bar fight with Captain Hook and his crew back in the day. Clearly, I won.”

“I used to wrestle with crocodiles.” 

“Your mother stepped on my foot.”

“I kicked a cat over the fence and it’s been wonky ever since.”

“Reaper.” 

“Shark bite.”

Dovey turned to face the other woman and eyed her critically. She was standing idly next to her, twirling her elegant, black cane in a distinctly bored fashion. This one was silver tipped and clacked loudly against the ground when she walked. The top was a beautifully decorated knob. Overall, it didn’t look like it was made for comfort or function. 

“Can I help you?” The woman in question asked sarcastically, turning to meet the inquisitive glance and breaking Dovey out of her thoughts. 

Embarrassment darkened her cheeks from being caught so blatantly staring. “Oh”

Her eyes snapped back to the sea of students still trickling in through the doors, but now she could feel Lesso’s gaze firmly on her. The slow twirling came to a halt and the Dean of Evil slammed the cane harshly into the stone floor before leaning with both hands into it, gaze unfaltering. Dovey glanced quickly out of the corner of her eye and flushed a deeper shade of red. 

“It’s not polite to stare, princess.” Green eyes twinkled mischievously. 

Dovey scoffed and Lesso bobbed her head triumphantly, finally breaking the intense eye contact. 

“I win!”

“It wasn’t a staring contest!”

“It sure felt like it.”

Lesso tapped the handle of her cane with a long, painted nail, drawing Clarissa’s attention once more. Her eyes trailed from the pale hands to the subtle curve of the woman’s hip. Long, long legs were hidden by the flared linen of her pressed slacks. Her legs appeared even longer anchored by stylish heeled boots. 

She leaned over suddenly, shoulder brushing Dovey’s and whispered conspiratorially into the shell of her ear, “Just ask, Dove.”

“Why do you use your cane?” Dovey finally blurted. 

Lady Lesso’s eyes cut back over the throng of students and took note of prying ears. 

“So there was this dragon…” she started dramatically. 

“I knew it!” Cried one of the Ever boys. 

Lesso cackled without abandon at the disbelieving look on Clarissa’s face.

It never got old.
