[She has spent the entire day observing Brianna Lopez and Michael Lamont from where they were seated at the back of her classroom in Balamb. It didn't distract her from doing her job (she's well past the point where something like that could affect her), but it certainly did warrant a lot of attention.
The boy still wasn't opening up, but he had looked marginally better. Prior to Brianna's arrival, he used to constantly look like he was shrinking into his own seat, jump at every little noise, and give a wide berth to any man or other boy in the area.
Now, at least, he actually spoke. Granted, it was just two times (one to respond to Brianna asking for his name, and another to ask the other Changeling if she was going to be back tomorrow), but two times was plenty for a special case like his.
"Special case". What a kind way of putting it.
She's watching Michael flee from her classroom now, and then turning, once he's gone, to measure Brianna's reaction. No words yet: she needs to see how the girl took it.]
