[color=steelblue]"Aaauugh, maaattthhhh..."[/color], he groaned. He really showed it, he took his sweet sweet time to get to this class, and by the time everyone was in, he was just entering the classroom. It wasn't that he was bad at this or anything, it was just... Boring. It's all numbers, there's no leeway, everything is too decided for his liking. He took his seat next to Luke, who seemed to be shivering. He wasn't really listening at the time either, so he didn't notice the sharp commentary from the little lady in one of the other seats.

[color=steelblue]"Huh? Luke, you that scared of math too? Is the AC on too high? Why're you shivering?"[/color], he inquired as he slumped into his chair. Unenthusiatically and sluggishly, he pulled his notebook out for class as he waited for a response. It was strange seeing him move in such an imprecise way.

Satisfied that the apparent pariah of a faunus was duly taken care of, he turned back to Jack, who in a very Jack-ish manner had plopped into the seat on the other side of him without his notice. This, unfortunately, diverted his attention away from Napoli, the fencer's comment falling on deaf ears as a victim of nothing more than circumstance.

[b]"Oh, hey. Not really, but I've heard some horror stories. Was more about everyone leaping down eachother's throats just now. Bad vibes, y'know?"[/b]

Flipping his pencil idly around his thumb, he waited for class to start proper.

[b]"If anything, Math's probably the only thing I'm close to good at. Certainly better than fighting."[/b] he said, with a slightly embarrassed smile. [b]"So I'm hoping this ends up being one of the few I can hold my own in."[/b]

Not aiming for the top, by any means. That was begging to crash and burn into a disappointed heap.

[i]...But I should at least do better than destroying my textbook.[/i]

Try as he might, he still had real trouble getting Mokuren. The fox faunus was not only an enigma, at times she almost seemed to be actively[i] trying [/i]to confuse those around her.

Only time, he supposed, would tell him her secrets.

[b]"Hey, uh, Mokuren?"[/b] he called over to the fox faunus in a decidedly diplomatic tone [b]"That's not evil Grimm Runes or anything. It's just a math textbook."[/b]

[i]It can't hurt you.

Physically, anyway.[/i]
