"True, but not nice."

"Maybe I should behave better then and then they'll say nice things."

Sallina sees where this is going! "That's about your behavior, but you don't control Minelia's behavior, and she's top of the class and you're some random orphan. If you say nasty things about her behind her back she's going to slip an emetic into your food."

...what? "No, she's not." He gives Sallina a 'don't frighten the small children look.'

Oh come on she knows Good people don't want to admit that but it's true. 

"I'm sorry," she says on general principles.

"If Minelia finds out she will likely be upset but she won't poison you," he says to Imelda.

Dr. Bun is so fucking pathetic. 

"I think I'm the only person here who cares about learning medicine and everyone else is just scared and you can't say that that's mean because I'm saying it about everyone."

No fucking shit, tiny annoying child, no one cares about learning medicine. You're just sucking up to Bun so you'll get dinner. 

Sallina is literally right there. "They're in a new place doing a new thing,  being nervous is natural."

"I guess. Tell me more about the medicine math! Do logarithms have to do with trees?"

Holy shit Dr. Bun is the most naive and pathetic person in the entire world.

No wonder everyone is getting nowhere with trying to seduce him.

"I think logarithms are a bit ahead of where you are in math."

Sallina is hatching a plot and she is not going to tell anyone about it. 

"What math background do wizards have?" Oh God, is he going to have to work out how to teach algebra.

"Just basic topology."

"Does the word 'calculus' mean anything to you?"

"Yes, I've done some of that."

Thank goodness, he does not have to work out how to teach that. "That's good to know."

And Sallina is going to make her excuses and go off to study. 

Oh god can anyone see what Sallina's up to. 

No.

No.

NO but Otolmens does not LIKE your tone of UTILITY FUNCTION SHARING. 

Yes!

...Not telling.
