[The feed comes on with Lloyd looking off to the side, talking to someone off screen.]

-sure wish I could have turned homework in like this back home! Then even if I waited until the last minute I could still-

Oh, hey, it's on.

[Lloyd looks into the camera, looking incredibly pleased with himself.]

Professor, we did it! We got our homework done! And we're even getting it in early.

[Before the original two week deadline, in fact! ~~Are they trying to give Raine a heart attack?~~

He doesn't seem to realize that this isn't locked to Raine at all, that everyone can see this.]

Here, you can read it now. I wrote the stuff in blue, and Luke did the stuff in black.

[That said, he turns the starfish around so that the view takes in a table with five pieces of paper on it.]

and no one would be confuzed. You need ~~apo~~ ~~appo~~ appostrofees to becos they show were your missing letters like in don't.

"apostrophes", I think. We're supposed to spell right too, right?

There's some other ones in here too, but I don't think it's important.

Anyway, yeah, lists are better. But like, if you can't do a list, then it's better to use them. You know, stuff like "Anise, Natalia and Tear went to buy things".

There's also this thing

;

That's like a period but not. But I don't use it unless I feel like it.

(Note off to the side next to the line about spelling -> I dont think so she just sed we were suposed to write about gramer)

I don't evan know what that is. Why do you need an extra thing for a peroid if its just a peroid?

You have to use capitel letters to becos that's for names and things. If you don't use one than you don't know if your talking about Colette's dog Carmel or about carmel candy. You also have to use them at the begining of sentances but I don't know why.

(Beside the previous note -> I don't know, she sounds pretty strict. But if you say so.)

… You know, I don't know either. Maybe it's just to let people know you're starting a sentence, but shouldn't that be obvious enough with all the periods and stuff?

But yeah, you also have to capitalize the I. "i am Luke" isn't right, but "I am Luke" is.

Apostrophes can also shorten words, so they're good to have. You can shorten up "is not" to "isn't", and would of to "would've".

Or wait, is it would of or would have? The last one sounds right, but…

(And a small note -> Guy would know, ask him.)

They both sound fine to me.

Any way that's why grammer's importent. Its also importent becos profesor Raine seys it is. Their's probabley more stuff we forgot but we only have to write five pages so that's it!

I guess he isn't that good at teaching in a way you understand.

[She understood most of what he was trying to teach them...

Okay, Lloyd, that's... She starts giggling again.]

Maybe! I don't think she can make people study whenever she wants though...

[Wild theories are a go--]

Maybe it's like how Dirk can get you to learn things! She can convince people to teach or study even a little!

No, he really wasn't.

[He takes a moment to mentally compare Raine to Dirk in his head, trying to figure out how she could teach him in a way similar to his adoptive father did. What he comes up with...

Lloyd swallows, growing a little pale and nervous.]

Dad wouldn't let me eat dinner until I memorized one of the dwarven vows. What if Professor Raine made you eat her cooking if you didn't study for her?

[Oh. Oh dear. Colette looks a little pale herself.]

That'd work, but...Let's hope not! [Please say the Professor doesn't see this--]

She likes her cooking though, so she wouldn't, right?

Yeah, definitely.

[He shakes his head.]

I dunno. She likes her cooking, but if she thought it'd get us to study... Do you really want to find out?

No. [She shakes her head as well.

Nononononono. Raine's cooking get awayyyyy.]

I guess we should study when she tells us to so she won't try.

Aw man...

[He walked right into that one.]

Let's just make sure we never mention it to her so she doesn't get the idea.

[She laughs.]

Alright! What if she gets the idea anyway?

Then we run and we hide and we never talk to her again except with our starfish things.

We could do that! Or we could just study together for a little bit and we wouldn't have to worry about her finding us with her cooking.

[Aw man, not you, too, Colette.]

Could we just... pretend to study?

Well, if she's in the room with us or watching, I don't think we'd be able to...

[A grin.]

But if she isn't, we could pretend!

[Okay, that's a little better. Still not the best, but Lloyd's realistic enough to admit that he probably can't get a study-free life while his teacher is around. And would he really want to trade his teacher for that? He doesn't consciously think that thought, but it's there in the back of his head.]

Okay, fair enough. And at least I'd be studying with you.

[It's always easier to study with a friend than studying by himself.]

[She might not mind studying that much (or at all, really) , but she knows she would never trade Raine for not having to study. Those months spent here without her here definitely cemented that in her mind.

All the months without everyone apart from Zelos also cemented that in her mind.]

Yeah, studying's a lot more fun and easier with friends.

I still wish I didn't have to do it.

[He takes in a breath, then lets it out.]

Oh well, I'll deal with it when I have to. Wish me luck, I guess.

[A blink. What did he need the luck for...? Does it really matter all that much? It's obviously something that has to do with school or the Professor so...]

Good luck!

[Come on, Colette, you should know by this point that he needs all the help he can get when it comes to school and their teacher. Besides, he's not done with his homework yet. This was just one assignment. He still has several to go.

Several that are late. Overdue. Oh man.

Yes, definitely needing some luck. So he'll smile and he'll accept that wish of luck with gratitude and hope, crossing his fingers. Hopefully it'll hold when he faces Raine herself.]

Thanks.

[He lifts a hand and waves, then turns the SFC off.]
