 be curious, not judgmental
Flamsteed was back to being Flamsteed, she knew that just fine by now, but Sophie STILL felt weird about everything. She had always had the utmost respect for the man and thought him to be a highly-esteemed individual to whom she could come for academic support and guidance, but after seeing him act the way he had in that other class...
Well, to be frank, it wigged her out.
The worst part was that she KNEW it wasn't him and she KNEW it wasn't his fault, but as she entered the classroom and her eyes fell on the professor in his normal attire, looking prim and proper, Sophie couldn't muster up the same smile she usually had before the incident - also partially because she wondered if she was going to end up getting in trouble for taking part in the mutiny against him when he was Hooksteed... AND she still wondered if he remembered any of her mouthing off to him. She would, undoubtedly, hold her breath till she graduated in hopes that the man did not know of how she had once spoken to him, possessed by Captain Hook or not, and wouldn't say a word to her about it.
Sophie could read just fine, though, and wasn't going to let her uneasy feelings deter her from following the instructions on the chalkboard. She picked up an envelope and pamphlet before handing over her signed permission slip to Flamsteed.
"..." She offered him a crooked smile and started to turn away without saying anything at all, but she thought better of it and spoke up, "Happy... day." She squinted, a little baffled by the choice of words that had just crossed her lips, and added in an attempt to smooth things over, "...Right-o." She did a little snapping finger-point with her hand. "Stellar."
...And she moved to go stand by Tobes.
