Someone over here thought they might've been staff, so that ain't a bad idea. I'll ask if I see 'em, too.

Doin' all right otherwise?

Yeah, we're good. I already knew everyone here from Acidia, at least a little bit, so the living together thing isn't as weird as it could be. Plus, we have plenty of space.

Mmm, s'how it is for us, too. Both knowin' everyone and the space.

[ a little diffident, ]

So you are, like...doing okay and everything?

[aww. There's a note of fondness in his voice]

Yeah, 'm doin' fine.

Okay, good.

[ not that there was any real reason to worry. but still. ]

Because between you and me, you are the only math teacher in the world I trust. If you fell off the side of the boat or something, I'd never learn about those trig whatevers you were talking about last week.

[he huffs out a chuckle]

Trigonometric formulas.

That might be one of the nicest things anyone's ever said ta me.

[said in that way where even if he's joking, it actually means something to hear it]

Nah, I'm just the only one who's said it to your face. I might not remember my classmates, but there's no way they don't all feel the same.

Other math teachers just aren't as cool as you.
