"Probably wouldn't hurt... not sure it'd help either but it's maybe worth a try."

Blinkblink.

"Why wouldn't it help?"

"Well it doesn't help very much when the teacher explains it so I'm not sure why it would be different."

"The teacher is explaining things to the whole class. Personal tutoring is about figuring out what works for the individual, and doing that."

"There might just not be a thing that works for me? Or somebody would've maybe found it. El says I just need to buckle down and I can learn it if I study. - El's my fiancée."

"Well, El's probably right, but it's always better for learning to be a joy than a chore."

He does not look like he has heard that saying before.

She gives him a wry smile and turns her head, tapping her Inquiry sigils. 

"I'm not really rel- El says I should stop saying I'm not really religious because it'll give people the wrong idea but like, I don't know a lot of philosophy."

She giggles. "Well, Inquiry has a lot of stuff about pedagogy."

"I guess that makes sense!"

"If I ever get too deep into explaining something and it gets boring, please stop me, I can talk for hours about nearly anything."

"Wow! I don't think I can do that with even one thing."

"Different people have really different ways of engaging with the world!" she informs him earnestly. 

At this point the scene ends the teacher calls the class to order.

Elsewhere on campus, there is a very ugly old cat. 

It's clear he's seen worse days. He's missing an ear, his fur sticks out at odd angles due to scarring underneath, and his tail is broken in mulitple places. But his battered hide is round and well-fed, and his coat is glossy with tender care.

Right now he's examining a winged mouse. 

The winged mouse is not thrilled about this and seeks higher ground.

The cat peers up after her, then curls up and tucks his face in his tail to take a nap. 

Oh good. Could have been one of those leaping types of cat.

Leaping? He gets wet food every day, served with pets and scritches and no need to fight anything for it, and you think he's going to LEAP after a MOUSE? He has better things to do with his time and energy. 

Plus that mouse is another familiar so it would be a bad idea to eat anyway, he was actually just curious. 

Precious resumes what she was doing (collecting all these beads that fell in the grass somehow).

He covertly watches her without lifting his face from his tail or otherwise moving out of Not Hunting You pose. 

Good. She puts the beads on her tail and flies them a few at a time to her human's window.

Oh wow what an excellent thing to have chosen to watch. His human is going to coo about how adorable it is. And give him treats.

Eventually she is pretty sure she has found all the beads. Off she goes to find her human instead.
