[He's not expecting much tonight, okay........ it's a quiet night after work, and he's content to enjoy a quiet night. Admittedly, he and Tenka have discussed Mary's situation a few times, but he's certain he never agreed to anything at all about it, and...

So when there's a knock at the door, he blinks, but slowly stands, and walks to the door, and opens it.

And glances at Mary.

And then back at Tenka.

...............who wants to explain first.]

[sunshrouded]

Yeah Sousei, you didn't explain why!

[parroting his cute little sister.... haha]

[deontology]

[oh my god SHUT UP TENKA]

That is not important.

[CHANGING THE SUBJECT NOW]

Do you have a preference on which subject we begin with? I would review your abilities first, before beginning with teaching.

[immobileyes]

History...? [ That involves reading, of course. ]

[sunshrouded]

Oooh, history's great!

[Tenka nods eagerly in response to that.]

Do you wanna learn about samurai, Mary-chan?! That was always my favorite.

[deontology]

Tenka.

[YOU'RE NOT HELPING.]

Do not attempt to influence her.

[and then more calmly, to Mary--]

What history are you familiar with? A very broad overview is fine.

[immobileyes]

... There were samurai and then there weren't?

[ YOU ASKED. ]

[sunshrouded]

[She's so cute and Tenka's just laughing.]

Bahahaha!!

Well, she's not wrong!

[deontology]

[ten...ka...]

...She is not, no. We will start with myth and legend, then, and work our way up to the present--ah, our present.

[...]

How far beyond Meiji 11 are you from, Kozakura?

[immobileyes]

[ Mei-- what? ]

2012...?

[sunshrouded]

Meiji 2012....?! Mary-chan, that's amazing!!

[tenka stop]

[deontology]

[as america would say: omg

he looks so exasperated at Tenka, before shaking his head.]

Apparently, we will also need to go over the calendar conversations. ...For you and for the irritating crabhead next to you.

[anyway, right, focus, sousei.]

If that is the year you are from, then there is over 100 years of history that I have not learned about myself. I have done some studying and will continue to do so, but we will have to learn that history together then. Is that acceptable?

[immobileyes]

[ That makes her giggle, at least... before she nods, enthusiastically. ] I think learning with you would be fun!

[sunshrouded]

And on this day, it was the first time anyone said that doing anything with Sousei could ever be fun.

[tenka continues to be unhelpful]

[deontology]

[If Mary wasn't here, he would try to punch you, Tenka. As is, he has to bite back the "shut up" that was on the tip of his tongue.

Ughhh.

He focuses 100% on Mary instead.]

... Then that is where we will start. What is your schedule?

[when are they doing these tutoring lessons, really...]

[immobileyes]

[ Guys no, don't fight, you're partners!! ]

... I have to work for four hours in the afternoon until Saturday and Sunday... but I'm okay after that.

[sunshrouded]

[Fighting is part of what makes them partners!! But Tenka just has hums at that.]

Working hard, Mary-chan!! That's my girl!

[deontology]

[School is usually every day, but...tutoring every day would be exhausting for all of them. Sousei's not particularly interested in that--besides, this is basically Mary volunteering to learn. There's no need to overwhelm her.

He's quiet as he considers that (her schedule makes it easy, admittedly) before he nods.]

Then we shall meet twice weekly. That will give you time to go over the material we cover.

[immobileyes]

Yes, sir!!

[ And she's quick to nod, before she beams at Tenka. That wasn't bad at all! ]

[sunshrouded]

[Not even a little bit! Tenka just laughs then as he pats her hair affectionately.]

See? Sousei's not that bad. Annoying and hard to read sometimes, but he's a good guy. He's a good teacher for you.

[deontology]

[WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS, TENKA.]

Shut up. Nobody asked for your opinion, Tenka.

[immobileyes]

But you are a good guy-- person.

[ NO FIGHTING. ]

[sunshrouded]

See? You're outvoted, Sousei!

[deontology]

[........... what does he even

how does he even

..... no. He just. No.]

... That is all I have for you today, but we will properly begin next time.

[he can't address the rest it just confuses him and short-circuits his brain.]

[immobileyes]

...

[ To Tenka, with some puzzlement: ] I don't think he heard us.

[sunshrouded]

Bahahahaha...!!

[Excuse your aniki, Mary. He's just.... laughing.

Really hard.

Sousei's the worst and Mary's so cute and--]

Man, you two are so great.
