Good eve, my dearest Ortega! Thou is curious of my taste in sweets?

Though I do not oft partake in sugary things, tis not good for my training to indulge too much, I do have a fondness for ginger snaps!

"-very relieved that they're all coming back to classes, yes. I was worried about them, they're very bright children. But everything that happened last year was-"

"Hm? Oh, I only heard some of what happened, this was before I was accepted as a teacher here. Highly doubt anyone would try to bully with an Elite Four member on campus... Anyway, everyone in Team Star was apparently bullied rather badly, and well... Something happened the previous year that resulted in the instigators just--I think they left the school? I'd ask, but I don't want to reopen old wounds..."

"Hm? Ortega? I don't think he's in my class this year. He has more of a mechanical mind than one for painting, though... Hm. I could see if he has any interest in sculpture. Might not work of course, but there are some sculptures that are more animate than-"

So uh. Hey, Mr. Hassel. I was wondering, um... how's Mela doing in art class? I'd ask her about it, but she's pretty stubborn. Full stop. So I don't trust her to give me a real answer.

I guess I just wanna know if she's really doing what she likes, yknow? And feeling good about it and whatever.

Oh Ortega, hello!

Mela is doing very well in my class, actually! She's usually the first to finish assignments, which gives her a chance to do extra credit if she wants. She does get a little impatient when it comes to pottery and clay sculptures, especially waiting for the pieces to be out of the kiln for the next steps, but that's everyone isn't it.
