He was a bad imitation of a proud father, though, because he wasn't one; but it didn't matter for once. After he could breathe and reprimanded himself for getting carried away, for forgetting she would leave him one day, for forgetting she was essentially a student, he looked away. His eyes forgot how to produce tears long ago, but it didn't mean he could look into her eyes.

"We -" his voice croaked, so he cleared his throat, "we can start anytime you want."

And he was looking at a far away tree.

Sophie wasn't always keen on noticing when she made others feel poorly, but the way the professor froze up on her for a moment made her feel regret and she looked out over the grounds once more, wondering why he seemed so pained after looking so proud initially. What was wrong? Was it too much? She weighed some options, but mostly, she just tried not to look at him - give him time to work out whatever he needed to without her gaze upon him.

When he spoke, though, a smile slowly spread across her face and she turned to face him. "Oh, good. I thought I broke you - as soon as possible, 'cause doesn't it take... quite awhile to brew? Like six months or something? I mean, we do have the whole school year ahead of us and all, so we've got time."

Totally continuing along like nothing had just happened. She figured he'd feel better if she didn't poke fun at him too much for being human and feeling emotions this time around.

Maybe a change of subject was good, though.

"What did you want to talk to me about, by the way? You had news...?"
