[He sighs, and then there's a pause. This...rubs him the wrong way.]

Rhel, I know you mean well, but by praising me for "trying hard" - you're implying that you still see my student as a problem.

I'm helping Hunter because I like Hunter. He's a good kid. I'm not trying to win some good samaritan points here.

Honestly, spend a day in a class with him. If he's your definition of a problem student? I'm sorry, but maybe teaching's not for you.

Ah--no, no, I didn't mean to imply that I thought he was a problem student. Honestly, with how he talks about his work I suspect it'd be rather the opposite. Nor did I mean to...to dismiss or imply that you were doing it for any reason other than simply being a good person, and for that I sincerely apologize, Elliot. I suppose it's just...hm.

[How to phrase this? How do you explain that you've spent the last several years going around, being a hero, and that it's atrophied most of the micro-level people skills you once had, which combined with your penchant for rambling means you sometimes just. fuck up nowadays and it's upsetting? To someone who really doesn't need all of that from an acquaintance at best? Elliot's right, she meant it as a compliment but...Twelve, get it together Rhel.

There is a bit of a pause as Rhel basically has a little internal ramble to figure out what she means.]

Your students are lucky to have you, as are your friends. [Honestly, she's pretty sure if anyone ever tries to actually hurt his students Elliot would go apeshit.] That is all I meant.

[Elliot meanwhile feels tired. He wants to give the benefit of the doubt to Rhel, but he'll have to wait and see.

For now, he'll let her of the hook.]

Right, I understand. Well, thank you Rhel.

Is there anything else?

[thaumewturge]

No, there isn't. Please be safe this month, Elliot.

[Because wow do those visions sounds like a Bad Time.]

[fiddlestick]

You too, Rhel! Have a good one, okay?
