[ Oh, that's...

Noctis takes a second to wrap his head around that. Not because he doesn't get it, but because he hadn't quite expected that. He supposes it makes sense. They go pretty far back.

He sighs before responding. ]

not really sure how or where to start but uh
i mean, he's been pretty attentive
since i woke up
weve been going out pretty often, almost every day, which... isnt something i do, normally.
he had no idea i can play piano
guess i never told him

[ Okay, that was significantly easier to let out. She wasn't wrong about thinking about Prompto rather than the memory. This helps.]

[originallutece]

He isn't the only one learning new things, then. Every day, though; that's quite often.

I'd encourage you to take my quantum physics class with him, but I think that's asking for disaster.

[kittycaterer]

what
you really think I'd get distracted in a class youre teaching?
maybe your memory fails you, dr
you've been teaching me for years

[originallutece]

I think you're a very attentive student when you're on your own, but who knows what happens when you've a friend next to you, hm?

[kittycaterer]

it wouldn't be my fault
prom is the chatty one

[originallutece]

Would you or would you not answer him?

[kittycaterer]

youve seen his puppy dog routine, right?
thats suggesting he'd let me ignore him

[originallutece]

You make your own decisions, Noctis, and I've only grown stricter over the years. Be told.

Although I admit, I've not yet been treated to that routine.

[kittycaterer]

be glad
hes relentless
anyway im actually interested in sitting in on one of your classes
with or without prompto

[originallutece]

I'd be delighted to have you. Quantum physics, or would you prefer something else?

[kittycaterer]

you teach other courses?

[originallutece]

An unfortunate reality of being a professor. I also teach biology, a chemistry course, and a general physics course.

[kittycaterer]

honestly, i'll probably wind up in at least biology or chemistry
slated for computer science and law and i think one of those are a gen ed
but its been a few years since ive gotten a quantum physics lesson from you
might sign up for that, too

[originallutece]

God knows you'd be a breath of fresh air. Half the undergraduates who sign up for quantum physics end up dropping within the first week; the other half tend to look at me in raw terror when I ask the most basic of questions.

[kittycaterer]

to be fair
quantum physics isnt exactly an easy subject

[originallutece]

You grasped the basics when you were eleven.

[The very basics, put in rudimentary terms, but still.]

[kittycaterer]

i also read those books you gave me for fun
not everyone absorbs things the same way i guess

[originallutece]

[EVERYONE SHOULD GET BETTER AT IT, Rosalind's expression suggests, so it's probably good they're not talking in person.]

Did you really? I always wondered.

I want you to come to the labs as well. It's optional, but I think you'd enjoy it. Three Saturdays over the course of the semester.

[kittycaterer]

think i still have a couple of them, actually
but yeah, i'm down to check out the labs
why dont i just go ahead and enroll?
swear i wont chat with prom

[originallutece]

I'll believe it when I see it. But actually-- wait a moment.

[BACK TO FIGHTING WITH THE UNIVERSITY WEBSITE, a fiercely loathed foe. Fuuucking hell, but why does everything have to be hard, she just wants to make room for (yet another) student--]

All right, now enroll.

[kittycaterer]

[ LMAO ]

done like dinner
anything else you need from me?

[originallutece]

[Hmm.]

Not for that.

Do you want to ask me anything else about this app?

[kittycaterer]

not sure anything i ask can be answered
ive gone through this app backwards, sideways, and upside-down and it
doesnt make sense
nothing can be installed on my phone without my authorization, but this app worked better than most elaborate trojans

[originallutece]

It goes to other devices, too. I'm typing to you from my university computer, and yet the moment I leave, it will uninstall and disappear.

[kittycaterer]

same for me
i've got a laptop and a desktop computer at home
both of which have done the same thing
havent told my old man yet; he'd lose his mind
