Quistis was certain that she had the most limber ocular muscles in existence. With Xu around, they had to be.
The first time she rolled her eyes that day was at breakfast, when Xu said that she was going to help with an important class project. Xu never participated in classroom activities unless bribed or threatened .
"You want to do what now?"
"I'm gonna help you out today!"
The second time was when Quistis mentioned this fact and Xu denied it.
"What's the catch?"
"What catch?"
"Exactly."
"I don't follow."
"Why do you suddenly want to help?"
"I've read your notes. You're gonna have trouble explaining that topic to them."
"You never bother to help unless I pay you."
"Trust me. I don't need money for this, Q."
The third time was when Quistis was setting up for her presentation and there was still no sign of Xu.
The fourth time was at lunch, when Xu choked on her sandwich in the midst of her spirited defense.
"I was busy!"
"Right. And you'll be busy later when I'm trying to explain this concept to my students, the concept that just this morning seemed so utterly incomprehensible that you couldn't bear the thought of me teaching it alone."
"I will not! And I didn't say that! I said that you'll need me!"
The fifth time was when she was in the middle of her lecture and she heard Xu muttering to herself in the supply closet. Her left hand performed a complex series of movements, weaving the deadliest of magical glyphs in the air, so she couldn't be bothered by Xu's silly interruptions. The slightest mistake could bring death to her entire classroom.
Boing-g-g-g-g-g...
Quistis focused harder, clutching the air between her fingers, whispering the incantation in an ancient, almost forgotten language.
"Bwahahaha! It has a spring!"
The class applauded when Quistis finished the words to the spell and the sigil vanished with a silken hiss. They felt it was only fitting, as anything else might make that vein in their instructor's temple explode.
"And one more...there! Ready!"
Quistis ended class and ushered her students out the door while Xu fumbled with the knob.
The sixth and final time Quistis rolled her eyes was when Xu tumbled out of the closet completely naked, save for a series of strategically placed arrows sketched onto her skin.
"Okay kids! Let's talk about sex! Then we...Hey! Where is everyone?"
"Class is over."
"But I thought we were teaching them about sex!"
Quistis squinted. "Sex? What are you talking about?"
"In your notes! It said sex, then septem, so I figured we were gonna tackle drug abuse too. I even practiced my deviated septum voice to teach kids to stay away from Diamond Dust!"
Quistis slapped her forehead. "You idiot, that was an old form of Centran... "
"So I got ready for nothing?"
Quistis thought for a second.
"Well, I could teach you the Centran names for all those parts you have labeled..."
Note: So yeah, I slept through two years of Latin in high school. Latin is now Centran in my head canon, just because it fits the little joke here. Also, I had this image of Xu trying to sound like Stevie Nicks when she did her deviated seven, er, septem, er, septum voice. Tee hee!
