You have school to worry about! Do you realize that everyone I know would do anything to go to school?

...except probably Jean, yes, that's true.

Regardless, though, the fact is that your education should be your main focus! Think of your family, what will they do if you fail out? You have responsibilities to think abo -- hey! I am talking to you! Don't you ignore me!

School's for chumps.

[Says the ignorant (former) Interior Gangster.]

[tinytactician]

[With as much respect as he can manage --] Have you ever attended, Sir?

[springcleaning]

I have more important shit to do than sit around and learn to fucking read and whatever the fuck, cadet.

[tinytactician]

[.......]

...you can't read, sir?

it's a headcanon so......

[springcleaning]

Enough to know what the fuck Erwin is talking about, I guess.

More than that's not necessary.

omg yes

[tinytactician]

...oh.

[Trying not to look pitying. It's not working.]

[springcleaning]

[His eyes narrow.]

The fuck's that look for, huh?

[tinytactician]

[Makes his face as blank as possible.] Nothing, Sir, nothing at all.

[springcleaning]

[springcleaning]

You think knowing books makes you better than me, cadet?

N-No, sir, not at all, sir!

[ Raises hand. Speaking of school, she's got a question for you! ]

[tinytactician]

[....points at her, after a moment.] Yes, Squad Leader, do you have a comment? [All he needs now is a ruler, a blackboard and some pencils to hold his hair back.]

[deviantlyhates]

Yesss. [ Lowers her hand. ]

My question is: is this "what will they do if you fail out" a hyperbole, or...?

[tinytactician]

Oh. Um.

It...the terminology of...cultural anachronisms and...I'm not sure of...

[tinytactician]

-- th-that isn't the point here, Squad Leader Zoë.

[deviantlyhates]

Well...!


If they just study or write their reports on something more interesting, the better for them! [ /has never felt that writing a report on Titans was 'work' ]

[tinytactician]

I just think that learning to prioritize is very important.

[If only I COULD write a report on Titans...]

[deviantlyhates]

Aaah, no Titans, then. A shame, a shame..

[ A pause, and then she points dramatically to him-- ] Think fast: an object that has no mirror plane but is non super-imposable upon its mirror image is....?

[ ....Is something that probably neither Armin or the mun is studying, but oh well. ]

[tinytactician]

...I don't know.

[deviantlyhates]

It's okay.

[ Have a head pat! ] But see? You have to be on your toes with any knowledge presented! Prioritizing that is essential.

[tinytactician]

[Droopy shoulders.] I need to read more.

[obsessivecompulsive]

It isn't a mystery as to why you're often ignored, Arlert.

[tinytactician]

[Scowly face.]

What do you mean, Sir?

[obsessivecompulsive]

*sigh*.

Your speech was lacking.

In many ways.

[tinytactician]

My...my speech was?

[obsessivecompulsive]

Well, it certainly bored the hell out of me.
