Lex walked in behind the Professor and stood awkwardly closer to the centre of the room. This wouldn't be a very long visit, especially since the Professor was in a hurry.

"I'm sorry to be bothering you about this..." She started a little hesitantly. In fact Lex was almost sure the woman would laugh at her then send her off to get the homework done with everyone else. She didn't want to be laughed at! Coming here was a mistake--but she was already here and she couldn't just leave. That would have been a waste of the Professor's time. "But I really don't think I can work with that mannequin..." It was vicious and scary.

"Isn't there anyway I could do the lesson and homework without it...or maybe you could make it into something less scary" The last part was mumbled and possibly hard to understand.
