Michael's mouth turned up on one side from her joke; a proper smile crossing his face as Florence took it upon herself to smooth his hair.<br/><br/>At her following comment though, there was more a trace of thoughtfulness in Michael's expression. Taking out his aggression hadn't been the cause of his hair pull, but he was glad she thought so.<br/><br/>Then he sat up straighter in attention, misunderstanding her "Is that even English?" to be in reference to his own paper. Michael was close to retorting when he realized she was talking about the professor's instructions, instead. He answered with a shrug: "Everyone else already did, as far as I know...leastwise I didn't see any of them handed their paper back. But I appreciate your confusion," Michael wasn't sure if she had been faking it, but appreciated it all the same.<br/><br/>He then surveyed the tidier desk, looking like he didn't mind Florence's automatic actions in the least: "Any assistance I can provide to you?" he asked with a new little smile.
