So I think I need a little normalcy, as if that can be found anywhere around here." And hopefully to get the music to stop running through her head before she started to sing.
But then Robert was addressing Lyra's question to her, and she smirked before turning to the other girl again. "Ignore him. And I'll send something in, if I can come up with a question," she said with a smile, surreptitiously stepping on Robert's foot as she spoke. With what she'd seen so far this term, it didn't look like Lyra and Willow were really going to have many problems getting questions submitted to them.
Robert looked at Elizabeth curiously as she spoke, "Caught by Truebridge...?" Then the conversation came back to him. The professor being an actor... "How were you caught and what happened?" Robert asked curiously. "Did he break out into showtunes? There was a couple of times in class where I thought he might."
"Ignore him?" Robert asked feigning hurt and shook his head. Turning to Lyra he smirked, "Well you can ignore me if you like but personally I like a good riddle. Oh I know, you can put the riddle in the paper and have people try to figure it out," he said cheekily and then grimaced as he felt Elizabeth step on his foot. "Ouch, what'd you do that for? I'm only joking...maybe..."
