 Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
Nem let out a little laugh, appearing to all the world to be amiable and friendly, as they reached for a jug of water and poured a cup out for themselves. "Do you always let people know how to get under your skin?" they asked, mentally filing that little snippet of information away.
Setting the jug down, Nem took a long drink of water, revelling in the cool blast that came from cold water right after brushing the teeth. "Not sucking up. Just turned out that my methods for that class were the sort of thing he was looking for. Not like we knew he'd had a personality transplant." Not at first, at least. Sure, it quickly became obvious, but even then it was less a case of 'sucking up' and more a sudden closer alignment of mindsets. Nem had done nothing too out of the ordinary. It was something they'd put some thought into over the past few days, though; rein it in, or throw caution to the wind? "I'm not fussed about prefect. Wouldn't say no if they offered it, mind you." Those badges could be more trouble than they were worth though. People started to expect things. Prefects were unlikely to do anything unnoticed. They got away with little, and became walking targets to boot. Was a modicum of power really worth it? Maybe.
For a moment, Nem just observed Song as she added to her dream journal or whatever, sipping at their water. "Interpret as in Divination?" they asked after a pause. "Or, like, psychoanalysis kind of thing?"
And, also, while they had her here, and before they diverted too far down another path, Nem quickly added, as though as an afterthought. "Hey, you're not still sour about that detention stuff, are you? I thought you'd have figured out why I named you."
