Rachel started to step back, about to make a noise more properly reminiscent of a frightened rodent than that of a girl.  The teacher's response calmed her down a little, and she started to smile once more, taking the hand and shaking it.  The only difference was that now Rachel's eyes were just a little darker shade of blue.  "Hey, Franny."<br/><br/>Once she was smiling, she ended up gently giggling at Fran's explanation about blinding her partner.  It was a nervous, somewhat forced giggle, but a giggle nonetheless.  "Right..."  She opened up a new file on her tablet, pulling out the stylus once more so she could take notes.<br/><br/>When next she spoke, her words came across as barely a whisper, leaning in to let Fran know.  "If you really do need some Drano, let me know.  I think I saw some on the janitor's cart."
