Loki's apathy was still pretty prevalent but he wasn't going to make this a movie day. He was certain he'd only get yelled at or lectured by some smart mouthed student and today, he might have tried to smite the kid what with his mood.

"So, inspired by one of your fellow students taking issue with my last class lesson," he said, managing a smirk, "today, you're going to learn an important part of the badass persona. Being a fucking smart mouthed, back talking twit. Look, badasses can follow authority but they're not always going to follow authority. That would make them subservient and too obedient. You've gotta rebel and defy authority sometimes. That's what makes things interesting and that's the way you're really gonna garner some attention."

Whether that be positive or negative depended on how you handled the rebellion.

"You've gotta know how to backtalk though. You can't just find your boss and call him a cow because you hate your job. That's weak and lame and it's gonna get you fired. If you're gonna tell your boss off, you better be prepared to make it rip roaring. You better have original, active insults ready, you better not fucking stutter and you'd better know your targets. If your boss or guardian or what the fuck ever isn't going to be affected by back talk, it's gonna be worthless. Pick your spots, know your targets. You can yap until you're blue in the face but you're not gonna make any headway unless you know who you're mouthing off to and how to approach it. Am I saying to do some research? Fuck yes. So, that's what you're gonna do today. Pair up and chat with each other. Find out basic things and then, out of nowhere, start mouthing off to each other. Back talk, rebel, try and get the upper hand. See if it works. Go to it."

"And twirling around and singing back-up on some pop song is absolutely nothing like with chanting and doing flips in a short skirt," Quinn said, with annoyance that wasn't really all that feigned -- she didn't especially like being lectured. "Wesley, swear to God, sometimes you're such a geek."

This was true.

That didn't stop him from sputtering, "I - I'll have you know I'm no such thing! And at least I'm not rude."

Rude and... following the lesson, though. Can't overlook that.

"Geeky, yet stupid," Quinn assessed. "I might be rude, but at least I remember what class we're in."

That ... almost made her feel a little bad.

Oh, right. Badass class. He totally knew that.

"I personally see no reason to behave in such a manner simply for a class assignment - of dubious merit, I might add," he sniffed. "Whereas you, for example, seem to have no problem with this behavior regardless of circumstance."

He bit his lip. Too far?

Quinn rolled her eyes. "No," she corrected. "I have no problem acting this way when somebody deserves it or it's going to get me what I want. Usually somebody deserves it anyhow. Anyhow, what gives you the right to say Professor Loki's class isn't totally valuable?"

That last sentence, she thought, was stretching it.
