	More for me then. [He gets it. Math isn't for everyone. Just like reading and writing wasn't for him. He'd learned ways to work around the dyslexia, which also made math difficult, but there was this thing called patience, and it helped quite a bit.] What's on the agenda today? Something new?

You say that as if there's a limited amount of math to be taught. [Which he finds funny since knowledge seems to be the only limitless thing available in the prison now. Or maybe that's sad?]

I thought that, today, I would give you logic problems. Nothing new, only new ways to apply the reasoning abilities that you have already. Problems like this--somewhat practical ones--seem to appeal to you more than abstract mathematics.

[He pushes a worksheet and a pen Nico's way with a smile. The problems are along these lines, for the most part. There's usually more to lessons than this, but Chekov has been impressed with Nico's overall grasp of the concepts they've covered and wants to see how he does with this.

He'll work on his own things while Nico contemplates the assignment, ready to answer questions or go over solutions.]

There isn't? [Kidding. One of the things he likes most about math is how vast it is.]

Logic, huh. Sounds fun.

[He takes the worksheet and purses his lips, not entirely thrilled that they are mostly word problems. But he opens up the notebook he brought along and gets to work, reading over the first problem several times to be sure he understands it before working it out on a sheet of paper.

He gets through three problems before he stops to rub his eyes, deciding it's time for a little break. Normally he would let Chekov dictate when the stopping points were, but today felt more relaxed.]

Kitty invited herself over to dinner at my place sometime. We decided you can come too.

	I'm going to agree with you even if you meant that sarcastically. [The word problems are just a build up to the next class, which will be on mathematical induction. Plenty of numbers! Chekov looks up, quite happy to take a break to talk.] That was kind of both of you to include me. Was Kitty pushy? I'm willing to apologize on her behalf. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sarcasm? Surely not! Nico twirls his pencil through his fingers.] No need for apologies. This time. [He grins.] Anyway, I like spending time with you guys. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I feel confident speaking for Kitty when I say that we like spending time with you, also, and I'm not only saying this because you're my best student. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks. Thank you. [Some of that old awkwardness resurfaces as he bends back to his worksheet, smiling.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
