The Undistinguished pupil for a moment felt a surge of power -- They could give the wrong impression of the course, they could insinuate and manipulate the Socialite before them into saying something to gain The academic's ire and work to make themselves look far better, certainly it would be an obvious slight, CERTAINLY but the option was there and it hinted in the small smirk forming on the individual's pale lips... But perhaps a different manipulation was in place; after all this man from looks seemed more a fan of honey (purely theoretically, hypothetically even--)and perhaps a sweet approach might earn them a favor of sorts from the high profile sort.
"I have," The Pupil began with a lift of the shoulders. "Much like how one can tell something is coming when standing and staring out from The Docks... You'll be able to tell how The Academic's courses will go from the very first. It could be vindictive, grueling and hectic as you will see they are much like the zee they excel in zailing."
It was almost acting prose, the way The Pupil waved a hand before really slouching into a shrug. "They can be harsh, but I wouldn't describe them as unfair..." An addendum to the factual; The Academic had never been unfair to THEM, Occasional acts of nepotism would sing that grace in the same tune a myriad of previous peers might bemoan. "My advice? Stick on the course, take notes and get good at reading a room... Should you need anything further, from sharing notes or just a shoulder to listen I'd be ever pleased to be that."
Yes, their fine manipulation ha begun; Just Being A Nice Goddamn Person.
