[ One day she will be used to this...maybe. Probably. Probably not. Anyway, once she gives her approval, he crosses the short distance over to her desk and sets down his paper. ]
I had to redraw a few of 'em more than once, but I tried to really pay attention to the shapes this time...
[ They're not great, but they're not terrible, either. Certainly an improvement over what he was doing before. ]
[ she has no choice, he is here for good... or at least for this semester. but anyway, he sets down his paper and she smooths it flat with her hands, sweeping her gaze over it with a scrutinizing eye. ]
It's not bad.
[ which is.. pretty high praise coming from her, tbh. sure she's not crowing over his work, but for what he knows and the experience he has, it's actually quite decent. runework is not a particularly simple science, and from what she knows he is more or less a novice. if he has worked with them in the past, it has not been extensively, or it was not taught to him by anyone who could be classified as an expert. ]
These three look good.
[ she says, dragging her fingertip over the second, fourth and fifth runes. ]
The other two still seem a bit off in proportion, mayhaps you might want to use a tool, but they are still an improvement from what you had before.
[ They're not...bad? Color him genuinely surprised, even with all the extra time he took. He was sure he still managed to screw them up somehow, but that doesn't sound as though it's the case. Huh...
Maybe he won't fail as hard at this as he thought he would. Maybe.
He flashes her a grin. ]
Really? Th-that's great! Super-duper great. I'll keep at it — heh, before you know it, I'm gonna be a rune wizard!
[ ... ]
...Except not a literal rune wizard. Y'know. [ He shrugs. ] Not a wizard.
[ he seems much more excited about it than she had expected - prompto isn't an.. academic boy by any stretch, so she had expected that he might complain about schoolwork or scholastic duties, but he seems over the moon about her review. she can't help but feel a little.. proud? satisfied? she's never really taught or tutored anyone before, but it is gratifying to see someone else succeed in something they had been having trouble with. ]
.. of course.
[ a rune wizard. sure.
anyway, she opens her desk to pull out a complicated looking object.. something like a compass but with a few more fiddly bits. ]
[ Oh...yeah, he definitely recognizes that thing — or at least, its basic intentions. He'd used one back home when he'd gone to normie school and had to draw geometric shapes. It's no surprise that there's something similar here for runes, also though he isn't exactly sure what all those extra fiddly bits do. Hopefully he won't have to use those quite yet.
Taking the compass in hand, he turns it over before grinning at her once again. ]
[ good thing also that it doesn't occur to her that he's talking about something like a date... or well, it might, but she would never expect anyone to ask her on a date?? she's mean to everyone, she does not attract dates. ]
[ And he would never expect to ask anyone on a date, because he's chicken shit, so they're good there...not a date! No matter what it sounds like on paper.
If Prompto realized what it sounded like, he would probably be dead by now, or at the very least, comatose. ]
Heh, you got it, then! Just lemme know when you've got some time. I'll stop interrupting your studying now.

Thanks! But...don't you need it?
[ Or is she just so pro that she does not?? ]
no subject
No, I have another one.

Well, if you're sure...heh, thanks, Alisaie! Man, I owe you big time after all of this...you like ice cream? I'll bring you ice cream sometime.
[ Is the least he can do. ]
no subject
[ she likes to help people understand runes, that's all...! baka!! but she looks slightly more interested when he mentions ice cream..... ]
Though I would not say no to ice cream..

I hear there's a cute little parlor down in town. W-we should go some time! I mean, if you want. It'll be my treat since you're helpin' me out.
[ Good thing it doesn't occur to him that this sounds a lot like a date. ]
no subject
Oh, I think I know the one. Mayhaps sometime..
[ she can leave the room and be social I GUESS ]
