Shizuru muttered to herself as she worked her way down an essay and contemplated, not for the first time, writing her own about the merits of having lined scrolls as opposed to trusting students to be able to write in straight lines. This particular student was not even consistent, some of their essays tended to angle downwards, some upwards, and this one seemed to curve like the ocean. Over time and several years the habit had progressed from annoying to fascinating, it was a cause of concern for her that she had considered finding a way to hover over him to watch the process happen before her eyes.
As her eyes stayed on the paper her hand opened up a drawer to her right, pulling out a handful of pumpkin seeds to eat them one by one. She had never liked pumpkins in general, pumpkin drinks, nor pumpkin pie, but she loved the seeds. The sun was beginning to set, which meant she needed to finish this scroll quickly so she could change and tend to her night plants. Her legs tapped beneath the desk as she narrowed her eyes at the parchment, "Quality of the soil has nothing to do with this," Spending more time at home, alone, than with people during her developing years had ingrained talking out loud as acceptable to her, "Pretty sure we went over that," Fingers searched under a pile of parchment, then she paused and shook her head, turning around sharply, eyes running over the bits and pieces pinned to her wall. Finally she scooted down a couple of feet, fingers running along her checklist from last week's lecture, "Ah, see I did go over that. Now were you not paying attention or did someone make you question yourself?" Turning, she sat back down in her chair, reaching for her Quill again along with another pumpkin seed.
