Yo. Tell me this.

Who made New Year reso - reso - wishes? What were they, have you started them, do you think you'll do them, or have you given up?

[And more to himself...]

Compare with your own and describe... [A small, gruff sigh and the sound of paper being waved around.] This is stupid.

Writing exercise, perhaps? Normally they'd serve to give you a scenario to think about, a chance to stretch the vocabulary you've learned so far.

[ridethetiger]

Yeah, I like that better.

[But the hand he waves dismissively is holding a pencil, so he's still going ahead with it.]

But this is important, too? So it's okay, whatever.

I must ask however, I know this assignment must seem random aside from it's timeliness, but given the choice, what subject would you prefer to practice with?

[ridethetiger]

I like art. Unless you mean writing? Writing is okay, I like when we talk about the wars humans have. The old ones. And stories.

[bluepurrymuffin]

Well, the writing helps you learn the language, doesn't it? Have you tried writing anything on those topics? History can be a very interesting subject!

[ridethetiger]

Yeah. We don't get homework on that much, just little questions. And... [Tiny bit of fidgeting.] Math takes too long, so I don't get to write much.

Well, math is important, too. Bobbi's very good at math, I'm sure she could teach you a few tricks to work it out quicker, if you asked her.

[He could, too, but he doesn't want to get in the way of the opportunity for her without giving her a chance at it.]

I do good enough.

[Read: IT'S STUPID I DON'T WANT TO. But moving on, because has a thought.]

I guess I could... write by myself, but I don't get grades for that.

[bluepurrymuffin]

No, not particularly. But that depends on whether you enjoy it enough to do so without the grade!

Perhaps it could be permitted as extra credit...

[ridethetiger]

Can you make it extra credit?

[He beams at the idea. He does like writing, but he's not going to directly admit it any time soon.]

[bluepurrymuffin]

I can, at the least, present the idea to your teacher.
