"Wow..." His eyes go a little wide. "Impressive. I, uh, I mean - You really want to do well this semester, huh? First day and you're already doing this much... so I'm impressed," he fumbled to explain. Given how red he was? Either research papers<em>really</em>got him going or he'd gotten an eyeful of the cleavage Aileen was showing off. Hook, line, and sinker.<br/><br/>"It's not something I've ever researched before, to be honest. If there isn't enough material here in the library, there's oral. Interviews, you know, oral interviews." As he made the blunder, he started to speak faster, tripping over his words as if he was trying to bury what he said under an avalanche of more words. "You could probably squeeze a few paragraphs from comparison and contrast. Talk about what influence they might have had, their roll in society." With the blonde turning on the charm, though, he didn't even once look down at the gathered research, entirely too besotted. If she asked, though, there was always a chance he might notice something she hadn't.
