It's a closer call than he had planned, but he wouldn't have left Chloe to her own devices no matter what she looked like.<br/><br/>In the class itself, time slowed to a crawl. It's not that the class was dull, for what it was. It was just that he found his thoughts drifting. Not just to Chloe, though she factored in certainly, but to the general excitement and concern over the upcoming year. It was his last, and he hoped he would be able to get control of his powers before it was over. What he could do now was fine, and certainly useful. But to be able to control his changes cleanly, to not have to be one inch or sixty feet, but able to change as he wished, that would show that he was really getting a grip on things. But he'd been working on it for three years, and had only made minor progress. He needed a breakthrough, and soon...<br/><br/>He looked up, startled, as he saw people leaving. Seemed the instructor had dismissed class early today while he was lost in thought. He shoved the syllabus into his backpack and headed out, walking slowly towards the math class. He knew he had a bit before she got out, so he paused and got out his phone, hitting the button for Lara as he did. He raised it to his ear, listening impatiently to the ringing. When she picked up, he smiled as she immediately chastised him for not getting her up this morning, or bringing coffee. "Nice to hear from you again too," he said as she settled down, "Look, I'll heading over to the cafe in just a few minutes. I've got a new girl with me, and I'm hoping you can help her get settled in...yes, I figured you would meet some people...we'll just have to find out if they all get along, won't we...and I'll get you that coffee I owe you. I'm sure you still need it; it's barely afternoon after all."<br/><br/>He hangs up to the sound of her making a noise with her tongue at him, chuckling at Lara's antics as usual while he waits for Chloe to finish up.
