More entertainment value in observing the others, and even then...
... even then, they weren't interested. Not in the covered object either, at least in the sense that they didn't think it likely to find an advantage that mattered in seeing it a few minutes early. Sabotage, though, that was a different kettle of kelpies. Nem had noticed where Pax's eye was drawn earlier, and were not averse to making a short stop in the name of... whatever, especially if those little kids were inclined to turn their little collision into an entire scene.
Strolling silently around the edge of the dance floor alongside Pax, they veered slightly outwards, closer to the wall, fiddling with something in their pocket.
What was Nem doing? Pax was tempted to inquire in their twinspeak, but instead just casually moved so that she was walking exactly where she needed to in order to partially obscure Nemesis from Professor Gunter's view in case they wanted to make use of the cover. It was entirely automatic. And honestly? Possible sabotage had more potential as a relevant potential learning opportunity than dancing around and getting sweaty in class.
It was also somewhat of a relief to be able to slide back into old patterns with her twin after the previous term. Better than overthinking. Better than feeling unpleasant things. Everything felt better for Pax when she and Nemesis were simpatico.
