Art of Seduction [Wednesday, Period Four]

Bond waited until the class was seated before he started speaking. "Good afternoon class, I trust you all had a pleasant week?" After all his had been very pleasant indeed.

"Today we'll be looking at the first date. Now there are a number of options you can choose from when it comes to first dates, though ideally it will be a low pressure environment where you can both relax." Not that Bond was terribly familiar with those. "You can go out for dinner and maybe dancing, if the weather is good you could go on a picnic, and of course there is the time honoured tradition of going to see a movie. Choosing to see a movie has a number of advantages, it's dark and intimate, yet also public, there is very little pressure to speak, unless you happened to choose a completely dire film and spend your time mocking it, the choice of movie can help indicate if you and your date possess compatible tastes, and if you sneak food in instead buying it from the concessions stand, it's relatively inexpensive."

"Today's exercise will be simple enough, I will put on a romantic movie, and you will pretend that the person sitting next to you is your date."

Did this count as a lecture, even? Jack didn't bother taking notes, and his eyes flickered to Emma a few times during it.

It was odd seeing what seemed to be this universe's version of Jack's Iron Queen in a romantic light, and Jack was almost as absorbed by that as he was by whoever happened to be sitting beside him.

Jack kept trying to look at Emma without letting her know he was looking at her; he had no idea where they stood, or where he wanted them to stand.

He was around if anyone else needed him, too.

Liir was wondering how this would actually be an activity if the whole point was to keep quiet so the other person could see the movie.

Helen looked to her side to see who her 'date' was. She'd never actually been on a date in her life.

Emma paid close attention to the lecture, despite how short it was, giving every indication that she found it fascinating.

...Mostly so that she could ignore the glances she was getting from another section of the room, really.

Emma was there if any of her fellow students had questions about the movie, but really, if any of them didn't understand the lesson, then they were probably hopeless idiots.

Well, most of them were probably hopeless anyway, but that was beside the point.

None of that showed on her face, however, as she maintained her calm and mildly-interested façade throughout the class. She wasn't going to let anything bother her today.

If she hadn't been in class, Emma would have laughed at the absurdity. Here was her first 'date', and her fist kiss had just been a disaster. Clearly, she was going about everything backwards.

Liir looked over to Jack thoughtfully. Well, it wasn't as if he hadn't done a movie date before. There was the once, of course...

With Andrew...

Where they hadn't actually watched any of the movie...

He wasn't thinking of that, oh no.

Jack noticed the glance and returned it with a slight smile. Liir would certainly do for a temporary date in class. (Better him than Emma, anyhow.)

"The film's set just a little before my era," he said quietly. "Which makes me wonder if our queen at home is also having it off with a groom."

Not anything at all?

"Emma," Jack acknowledged, hands clasped in front of him. "Do you like the film?"

Apparently, he'd decided small talk was the way to go when you were dealing with a girl who invaded your brain and messed with your feelings when you were kissing her.

He watched the movie for another few minutes before turning to give Jack a smile, "and what would you think of her if she did?"

"I'd think she was much more interesting than I give her credit for," Jack said, smile teasing now. "What would you think of someone like that?"

So. They were going to play a game. Fantastic. Emma contemplated flat-out asking Jack if he had a masochistic streak, but refrained. Barely.

"Well enough," she drawled, keeping her attention on the film and not him. "It's a relaxing enough way to spend the class period."

"I would be happy for them. If a monarch needs have a vice, best it be one that harms none."

He'd seen much worse, after all.
