Joshua rolled his eyes at the "staying pretty" comment -- not due to any offense, as he got the sarcastic vibe. He did it for a reaction from her, hopefully another smirk if not a whole smile.
"Don't ya go worrin' bout mah grades. Ah got 'nuff kin round here to take care of that ten times over. 'Sides, Ah'm doin' all right fer mahself." His hands moved to settle on her waist, quite comfortable and incredibly happy to be sitting there with her in his lap. To think that a month ago the idea of even holding her hand could send him into a cold sweat. "But what Ah want to learn sumthin' 'bout is..." A wry smirk spread across his face. "If y'all can hold on a piece of paper an' stick it clear through a door like that.. what'll happen if yer holdin' on to a six-some-odd foot Kentucky boy wit' wings?"
