When Ikenna Gevrik repeated his 'nickname' Jeremy nodded with a small smile playing around his lips. "Silly isn't it?" Not the part about him disliking animals, the nickname obviously. There WERE reasons for disliking animals, just look at them.

He regarded him for a moment, trying to keep his face free of emotions. How come he knew about Alysson? In the end he decided to give him the benefit of the doubt, and not be overly suspicious about it. Al WAS a very social person after all, it was possible that she had just randomly run into him. "Alysson, yes. Do you know her?" Everything about this man suggested to be cautious but Jeremy wasn't one to judge on first impressions so if he didn't give him any reason to dislike or mistrust him he wasn't going to.

Nice save. So he wasn't going to tell them about his nicknames? Well, he wasn't going to give up that easily. "Aw, c'mon. You don't have to tell us about all of them." He added a small grin before taking another sip of his coffee, watching Ikenna Gevrik over the top of his mug.

THAT came as quite a surprise. "Oh really?" And then he said something he wasn't so sure he wasn't going to regret later. "Why, you're always welcome to join my class if you want to." Because he was so interested and all. If people enrolled in his class. "Why yes, they are quite interested actually. I have a lot of kids in my class." Including those who only hoped to be allowed to crush another walnut with a baseball bat, i.e. Destiny.
