Introduction to Dinosaurs - Tuesday, 1st Period
Cutter had been worried about Connor coming back to classes so soon after everything that happened, but Connor had insisted that he felt well enough to come in and teach today so Cutter had reluctantly agreed but he was keeping a close eye on Connor and had told him that if at any point he didn’t feel up to teaching that he could return home at any point.
“This week we’re going to be covering Giganotosaurus,” he began after casting a worried look over at Connor before he began class, “the Giganotosaurus is from the Late Cretaceous and lived in what is now Argentina, and it was first discovered in 1993 and is almost seventy percent complete,”
Connor wanted to be there. He felt a bit better and was tired of being cooped up in the flat. So he wanted to try and get through the class if he could. But he did decide he was going to give his part of the lecture while sitting down at the desk.
“Giganotosaurus was one of the largest known terrestrial carnivores, but the exact size has been hard to determine due to the incompleteness of most of the skeletons that have been found so far. Key parts of most skeletons have been missing, making it hard to accurately estimate torso, neck, and tail sizes. Estimates for the most complete specimen are as follows: 12 to 13 m (39 to 43 ft) overall length, a skull 1.53 to 1.80 m (5.0 to 5.9 ft) in length, and a weight of 4.2 to 13.8 t (4.6 to 15.2 short tons). Some researchers have said that Giganotosaurus was likely bigger than the Tyrannosaurus, which had widely been thought of as the largest therapod to ever live.”
Connor looked over and gave a small nod to Cutter, both to let him know he could continue with the rest of the lecture and to also let him know that he was still doing alright.
Cutter returned the small nod as Connor finished, he was still concerned but Connor seemed to be doing okay, so he resumed the lecture, “the Giganotosaurus is considered to be homeothermic, which is a warm bloodedness that is a cross between a mammal and a reptile and this would have enabled fast growth and based on its size, the Giganotosaurus is considered to be the apex predator of its ecosystem,” Cutter concluded, “for the rest of the lecture, I’d like you to work on your worksheets and as always, myself and Mr. Temple are here to answer any questions you may have,”

"It ... it would be nice to be able to do that, to be able to talk ... I've ... I've missed that, hanging out with you," he admitted.

Connor wanted to still be friends if nothing else but he also knew that wasn't necessarily fair to Nick and he didn't want to hurt him.
