Likewise, anytime Emma speaks, Jean is going to be making a fist and digging her nails into her palm to stifle any, ah, less than pleasant remarks she might have. But nuh uh, you do not screw around with her man, 'cause it'll get straight up Jerry Springer in here. *snap*
D'awwww. Jean thinks Sam's adorable, and while I'm not sure either if they'd interact that much, I'm sure they'd get along just fine. They could bond over books or something, I dunno.
Jean's kind of conflicted about Warren. On the one hand, she knows she needs to treat him like any other student and she should respect his apparent wish that the faculty maintain some level of distance, but at the same time she can't help but treat him more like a friend than a student. I think it'd be pretty neat to explore that a little, maybe as Warren starts to progress from student to equal, you know? As for the flirting, I'm sure Jean is flattered and isn't above some very mild flirting of her own, but she also realizes they both know it's just a casual, friendly thing and is treated accordingly. So yeah, that totally makes sense. Is also considerably less unsettling than Jamie's more, um, direct approach to spending time with her. :P
Rahne, obviously, will also need to become a founding member of Jean's and Terry's Ginger Appreciation Club. And since Rahne has a natural talent for teaching, Jean could totally relate to that, from the thrill of students showing honest interest in their work to the frustration of students cutting class and not paying the slightest bit of attention. And while Jean's a little hesitant about anyone using her as a role model, she's deeply flattered and considers it an honor. :)
Ha! I figure Bobby's really kind of a teacher's pet for Jean; he's a sweet kid and she's known him longer than a lot of the other kids, so she probably lets him get by with more than other students, or even more than other teachers would put up with. Still, she has to just roll her eyes and bite her tongue when Bobby spends more time building giant useless ice sculptures on the lawn than he does actually pushing his powers to find out what their limits are. Yes, yes, he's a teenage boy and as such isn't the smartest, most mature creature on the planet, but still.
Aw, Sofia. <3 She kills Jean because of how sweet and bubbly she is, and more than likely Jean will naturally gravitate toward that. I can def. see her adopting Sofia as kind of a mini-me, going shopping with her and such. Fun times! :)
Clearly I have missed you, too! lol I'm shutting up now, honest. :)
