[ someone stop this boy. ]

Really now? You never had a moment of doubt or thought I was crazy or totally unsuitable as a teacher, huh?

[ Because she's definitely heard that before. ]

[jokered]

[he shakes his head.]

Not in the way you'd expect. [only in the sense that he generally doesn't trust adults, totally separate of her own capabilities.]

You always look out for me and the other students, in your own way. Even when it doesn't benefit you... I think that's how a teacher should be.

[alcobrawlic]

... I did tell you someone believed in me, once. She didn't have to. Helping me wasn't going to be doing her any favors.

But because she did, I... kind of wanted to do the same. And when I was offered the chance to do what she did, well.

I thought maybe it'd help someone else, the way it helped me.

[jokered]

Well...

[he pauses, as if trying to find the right words for a moment like this. words aren't always his strong suit, and he definitely wants whatever he says right now to be just right.]

I can say with confidence that it's helped someone else.

[yeah!!]

[alcobrawlic]

[ Poor Akira, you never know which word choice will get you fanged music notes-- ]

Good! Maybe I'll get my Teacher of the Year award yet.

[ She's not even remotely serious, though she is touched. ]

[jokered]

[it's hard to know! sometimes he doesn't get it right at all.]

In a place like Shujin, that might be wishful thinking. [but, you know.] But I'll say you deserve the honor. To me, at least.

[alcobrawlic]

You miiiight be a little biased, but...

Well. I won't tell if you won't.

[jokered]

I'm a little biased, but I don't think it's a secret.

[alcobrawlic]

Really? I thought I was pretty subtle.

[ Okay, Sara. ]

[jokered]

[shrugs.]

Which part of it was subtle?

[alcobrawlic]

The part where I defended you like I'd defend any student wrongly accused!

[jokered]

....What part of that was subtle, again?

[alcobrawlic]

All of it!

[ No. ]

[jokered]

...No.

[yeah.]

[alcobrawlic]

Hey--! You didn't have to shoot it down that quickly!

[jokered]

[he laughs a little... it's endearing, honestly.]

...That was definitely the least subtle, though.

[alcobrawlic]

I-it was... a little subtle, at least...

[ Look, now she's pouting. ]

[jokered]

[oh. that's cute.]

I think I need your help, sensei. I can't figure out where the subtle part was.

[alcobrawlic]

That's... that's your homework. I can't do it for you.

[ SHE'S SO SULKY. ]

[jokered]

Is finding a way to get you to stop pouting part of my homework, too?

[alcobrawlic]

I'm not pouting, so of course not.

[jokered]

Your face kind of looks like this right now, though.

[he's totally imitating her pout right now.]

[alcobrawlic]

[ ... She's just reaching out to press her palms to his cheeks. ]

Okay, enough. Teasing your teacher is just mean.

[jokered]

[he'll roll with this.]

Even if I think the pout is cute?

[alcobrawlic]

... Then you're shameless.
