She smiled and lowered her book, nodding to him and waving him in with a leafy hand, "You've come to study with me. That's very sweet of you. I'd like that a lot." Her expression softened as she made her way to her feet and showed him in with some form of a half bow. Then she gestured to her half of the room.
"Make yourself comfortable. And try not to touch any of Mimi's things. She's not here right now, but it's just much better to avoid upsetting her." And Voile had to admit that likely no one would enjoy others poking and prodding at their personal belongings.

He wasn't about to touch any of Mimi's things - he was pretty touchy about folks touching his stuff without asking, after all, and tended to extend that same courtesy to them. Settling down and making himself comfy as she'd requested, he offered her a wide smile. "So - How've you been? having fun here so far?"

"I'm well. I'm happy to be here. I'm not really sure if I'm having 'fun', but I'm very happy to be here." Voile nodded to him, as though to confirm her words. Or perhaps she simply didn't want him to worry.

He could see that she was pleased. He was very pleased to be here too. He felt that he'd found a very good friend in Voile. He always felt really comfortable with her.

To think someone so kind to others could be so very skeptical of others repaying her with the same consideration... It sounded so absolutely ridiculous.
"Oh... That isn't..." Then she fidgeted with the cover of her book somewhat anxiously, "How are you doing?"

The drop in her expression and the rise in her coloration were both clearly noticeable and he wasn't at all sure what he might have said to cause it. He liked to try and make all of his friends lives a little more fun. Sure, life was full of duties and responsibilities that had to be taken seriously and regarded with the proper level of solemnity. Of course. But if you couldn't spend the rest of your time enjoying yourself and having fun, you were missing out, right?
Maybe I phrased it awkwardly and it sounded like... innuendo or something?

...Insecurities?
Finally, a shy smile crossed her lips and she shook her head, "No. On the contrary, I was very touched by what you said. I'm not used to hearing things like that, so it catches me by surprise and I don't always know how I should respond." Then she gave an idle shrug, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you worry."

"Sorry - I thought for a second there I'd said something to upset you. But... y'know. It's all good. And it's OK... I don't mind going the extra mile for my friends and you're certainly one of those. You'll probably hear me say stuff like that all the time.. so... you're just gonna have to get used to it, I guess! haha!"

When it was just the two of them, it was easier to cope with. If he did something like that in public, she was reasonably sure she'd go a little crazy. Maybe. Or she'd just get very embarrassed and try to go into hiding. The second seemed more probable. She just hoped he really wouldn't do something like that.
From what she gathered of him, however, it did seem like something he would do. Out of kindness, of course.

"Well, anyhow..." he said, deciding to change the topic a little "I bought all my textbooks and stuff. Some of them are ones from last year I kept because it's helpful to go over the basics again. For me at least." He shifted the pile closer to her so she could see better.
Reply
Then she nodded to him with a smile, "That makes sense to me. I'd like to go over some of the older things with you, if it's permissible. I mean, you did go through the trouble of bringing your older textbooks and all."

"What kinds of classes do you take, Knuckles?" she asked as she leaned into him and ducked her chin to rest on his shoulder.
Reply
"Well, I take Piloting and Drivers' Ed. Those are my two best classes - all A+'s! Aerial tactics, Cooking, Political Science, Ethics, Demolitions, Experimental Psychology... and of course Sexual Education." The last was a little hushed.
"I used to take creative writing with Professor Xatu. I owe him a lot. And also art with Miss Martha Skitty. She was a good friend and I miss her. I never got really great grades in either class but it helped me broaden my horizons a lot."
Reply
"That's many classes," she observed, lifting a hand to rest against his forearm. "That seems very time consuming. I hope you don't strain yourself or work too hard. I can, as much as anyone else, support the need for education, but when it begins to interfere with personal health, even I think there's a bit of a problem."
Then she blinked a few times. Xatu and Skitty. More Pokémon. She wondered how many had been there before she'd come. Already she'd felt like there were plenty in her company, but perhaps she'd missed some great, outstanding number of them previously. She should have come along some time before, she supposed. It was a little too late for that.
