Jon gave her a look like deer in headlights for a moment. "Oh. Um. Well, I..." he stopped and thought about it. "I don't dislike actually teaching." He sighed. "I do just wish that the moose would stop assigning me things because I'm English and ought to know them, rather than things I'm actually competent at."

It could be worse; he could have a co-teacher again!

"That said, I never really decided to get into it. When I ended up on the island, I was already assigned a class, and I hadn't even known I would be here. That happens sometimes. Although I understand you're one of the people who meant to show up here."

Look at him, implying questions without asking them!
