After his slip-up, instead of running, Vaan had waited for Sephiroth's response with a glimmer of interest. He wanted to see just how far Sephiroth could be pushed, but apparently, his carelessness has almost no effect on the older man. Just the simple eyebrow thing. Good to know.

"No thanks..." Vaan rocked his stool backwards, balancing it on two of its legs, as he held onto the counter. He wondered whether to take Sephiroth literally or what. Yeah, he didn't seem the joking type. His idea of behaving like a 'parental figure' probably involved giving a lot of orders too. Orders like, 'Do your homework'.

Snapping the stool back to the floor, Vaan looked towards the door, thinking more about exploring the grounds than completing any class work.
