[Phoenix pays strict attention when the review is given - these classes were important to him after all, even if sometimes the words tended to wash over his head because his concentration slipped. Still he gets most of the stuff and figured out the rest, so when Seimei asks Phoenix just shakes his head.]

I don't really have anything at the moment, no.

[Seimei nods, standing in front of Phoenix's desk.]

Then how well do you believe you value yourself?

[thirteenthace]

[A brief pause.]

Quite well, I'd like to think.

[The real answer: hardly at all.]

[der_geliebte]

You'd like to think, but do you think?

[ Ahiru hadn't expected these classes to start off with the topics they did. Perhaps it was one of the things she really needed the most, but...

It wasn't easy for the redhead to accept, either. It never was. In the end, she was still just a duck. Pretending to be a girl. Borrowing the form of Princess Tutu.

And most people didn't know the truth. Not at home and not here.

Nonetheless, she was as attentive as she could manage (even if she was quite easily distracted on a normal basis), and listened as Seimei explain the day's subject. A bubble of unease slowly rose up within her.

Assert authority? But she wasn't good at that! Fakir was good at that kind of thing. She'd just end up flailing or something!

Once he was finished speaking, she raised a hand uncertainly. ]

U--Uhm! Whatifwe'veneverhadto--whatifwe'renotgoodat--!

[ She couldn't seem to get a proper thought out without sputtering. ]

[der_geliebte]

Why are you so frightened?

[Seimei leaned in, a bit uncomfortably close.]

If you falter, you'll get hurt.

[wings_of_hope]

I--I'm not, I--!

[ Being far too easily excitable by nature, she floundered back as he came forward. ]

[der_geliebte]

Let's start here. Defend your personal space - it belongs to you.

herp backtagging this

[wiredgod]

[Oh my god what is this lesson even.

Lain's face is so red and looking politely horrified. She can't seem to find the words to say...well, anything.]

it's not backtagging yet? |D

[der_geliebte]

[Seimei will finish the class lecture before going to speak to Lain.]

Now, as for you...

WELL slightly. but shh

[wiredgod]

[Normal sits straight up and watches Seimei with wide eyes, wary of where this conversation will be going.]

[der_geliebte]

You have multiple personalities. But does each "version" consider the other versions part of "yourself"? Or are you all individual people?

[ Naruto, a surprise even to himself, winds up at the review with the same confusion he's grappled with for all of the previous classes. And, actually, the same frowning expression from the edge of the room. Despite the lessons, or perhaps because of them, the blond's demeanor really hasn't changed- and Seimei's introduction leaves the boy- well. Less than enthusiastic. At the very least, he figures, today's lesson will come naturally.

His hands fold behind his head, stance relaxing, though his expression certainly doesn't. ] This'll be easy'ttebayo.

[der_geliebte]

Yes, I imagine that you in particular have no issues with self esteem, Naruto.

I promise you'll be challenged next week. Unless, of course, you think you're a little too lenient on your friends invading your personal space?

[ninetailedderp]

What the hell's that supposed to mean? [ what is personal space 8| ]

[der_geliebte]

If someone gets in your face... specifically, someone you trust, what do you do?

[pkmn_hero]

Ash was listening intently but...well, lectures are not his strongest point so he drifted off about mid-way. Now that he's noticed that Seimei has stopped talking though he's paying attention, watching what he is doing with everyone else.

Touch really doesn't bother Ash? It's...well normal to get random hugs (and kisses) from people he barely knew. It happened to him pretty often.

"Uhm, nothing I can think of." At the moment...

[der_geliebte]

"And how are you with your personal space, Ash?"

[pkmn_hero]

"I never really thought about it." He gave a small shrug before rubbing the back of his head, "Usually I'm out in the open so there's plenty of room!"

[der_geliebte]

"You've never had someone getting in your space, making you uncomfortable?"

He does move in, very uncomfortably close, to demonstrate.
