[The worst part is perhaps the fact that he'd probably let her, clearly it's a test of his mettle and to see how long he can last through this onslaught. Or so he can tell himself to make himself feel better about being teased like this of all things. It's not the first time someone has gone this far with him, absolutely not, but it's certainly weirder coming from someone he doesn't really know like that.
Luckily he gets a brief moment of reprieve to collect himself and he quickly does at that, pushing away the red that had climbed to his ears and taking a deep breath to steady his nerves. It might be impressive that he's so quick to recollect himself if he weren't so easy to fluster in the first place.]
Right, that all sounds simple and straight-forward enough. [And typical of a classroom setting.
And theeeere she goes again and he shouldn't be surprised about her turning back around on him like that and yet he is. Hindsight isn't foresight, unfortunately.
Nor is he able to steel himself against such a particular onslaught and he can feel the color go right back to where it was before. Can feel his heart trying to escape his chest, it's... certainly an offer and if he was honest, he wouldn't say no. But also this is someone in a position of power of him and is that really allowed here???
He's not sure.
Which is perhaps the funniest part of it all.]
Hands-on learning. Is that... is that even allowed? [At least he can get the question out.]
