I was going to teach you a mending charm that I always found useful, but perhaps we should just get to the lesson if the dressing up is so distasteful to you."
Nikita didn't like to see the professor upset - however slight. It wasn't the professor's fault that she had to teach etiquette, and Nikita didn't see much wrong with dressing up. Dressing up wasn't much to her tastes, but she saw a midnight blue robe that would be fine. She walked up to the professor and picked up the one that she had her eye on.
"Thank you, Professor," she said, trying to sound appreciative. Suddenly worried, she couldn't help but asking, "Do you happen to know if
all of your lessons will be like this?" Nikita was hoping that wasn't the case, and this would be a one time occurrence.
