[ To him. He expects more! From her, from other people. Is this how Apple felt whenever he was the one not putting his best work forward? He certainly hopes not, the idea of ending up anything like his old teacher an entirely worrisome thought (because next thing he knows, he'll be wearing glasses and writing history books and... how awful!).
The noise of the infuser against glass brings his eyes up from the tablet. The sudden movement away from the glass, the disinclination to pick her tea up now. What's that about?
He frowns, but doesn't pry. Instead, he takes greater care to set his own mug's infuser into the measuring cup without a sound once he decides it's done steeping. After that, he turns the frown down at the tablet instead. ]
And while I appreciate the concern, it really isn't that big of a problem, alright?
