Topher wasn't sure how he'd gotten roped into being Alenko's TA without actually being his TA this time around, but he wasn't going to question it. He just waited the appropriate amount of minutes into class before assuming that Kaidan wasn't going to show, then hopped onto the desk at the front of the room, carefully disabled the woodworking equipment that was also on the desk (because he didn't want his fingers cut off, thank you for the tip, Ace) and then addressed the other students.

"So Alenko's not here," he shared, "obviously. But there's wood and whatever to play with, and if I just hook up my phone to the projector..." He paused for an improbably short period of time in order to do just that-- "Bam. Blueprints of stuff you can make. Or you could go a different route and just make a coaster, which is my plan."

He swung his arms forward, trying to think of whether there was anything else to include. "Oh, and in the last twenty minutes, meet with your partner and make a list of ways your battlebots can battle without destroying an arena. And then hand them in to me. I might grade them."

He would do no such thing.

"Have fun!"

"Uh huh," Cade said dubiously. "What kind of something?"

"You know, I'm not positive, but she and I discussed it," Topher admitted. "I think she understood a whole sentence that I said or something."

"So she gets a prize?" Cade looked confused. "My roommate wanted to marry me because I brought burgers, she gets a prize for understanding a sentence--this planet's standards are karking low for achievements."

"And yet you and I have yet to graduate high school," Topher said, reaching to try to offer Cade a condescending shoulder-pat. "Life's not fair."

"I haven't really been trying all that hard here," Cade said. "Not sure what your problem might be..."

"Oh, I just like it here," Topher shared. "Otherwise I'd be in college already."

"Why do you like it here?" Cade wondered.

Topher shrugged. "'Cause," he said helpfully. "There's wi-fi and cool future tech to play with. What, you don't?"

"Well, it's away from my uncle, so...plus," Cade said, "but we're working with karking wood."

"Oh, well, yeah, dude, that's because this class sucks," Topher scoffed. Rude, Topher. "But there are better ones. Did you take gym last semester? It was badass."

Cade looked Topher up and down. "You took gym."
