He was curious on what she knew, though her knowledge about the nanites were probably from what happened to her own son. He wasn't sure if that was the same, but a Logical assumption to it was best. He just nodded his head slightly. He wasn't affected by the cold, the day was still nice for the weather though he would have killed for a nice glass of whiskey while he was talking.

But under the rules he was sure that alcohol was not allowed as is.

He gave a small sigh as he rubbed his eyes a bit.

"Indeed, it is a school. Teachers pass of knowledge and sometimes students to the teachers dependent on the subject and other situations going on."

He wasn't wrong. He did a few times correct a teacher in the middle of class. Though people did call him a smart ass he was the first people to speak up each time. He wanted information that was right, not wrong. He made a small list of interesting facts about this teacher.

"Yes and no, but it seems his went flawlessly if he was able to again return back into society and not have issues."

Tellios went into a state of thought, his eyes closed for a moment to refrain from either speaking out or saying something out of line. He wasn't above swearing, but some of the errors could kick in a problematic code line that COULD do damage to the school and teacher, eventually he opened his eyes seeing.

Rebooting....
.....
......
.......
System reset.

"Slightly off topic, though Logic dictates that it is on-topic as well. Though it would be an honor to be your student. I may not call you by the rank in which you hold with in these premisses." He stated not due to his vast intellect and ability to download information from almost anywhere so long as he is connected to a wireless system, but the word 'Professor' never sat right with him. "A Personal Demeanor is something in a key or ideal student correct?"

He was curious again and that was a good thing, though he wasn't sure if Aurora would want to even talk about school on her hour off. He was still asking the question in order to find out new information and gather as much Intel as possible as he was going. He wanted to learn more about this place and the students and teacher, but to do that he needs access to the main school systems and download it all, till then it was learning VIA oral communication.

"Technologically Oriented ones would be nice. Though I do believe that I would prefer one with in the old methods of teaching. Technology and I are one and the same, but I do believe that the concept of a typical classroom would be best." He said as he looked up at the sky. "Though your ramblings do shed some light. So to speak.

He moved his glance over to Aurora and put his left hand into his pocket. He placed his other hand on his chin and rubbed it slowly. he gave some thought to the next question he wanted to ask.

"What is it that you teacher here?"

"Mmhmm, that's right. I know my students have taught me quite a bit already, and the experience here, student or teacher, is a great one."

Granted however, Aurora didn't learn much about music from her students, but instead of their types of magic. She could cast them, but her proficiency with anything outside of her own specializations made the mage's versions of her students abilities extremely weak at best. Aurora fiddled with her binoculars and adjusted them while answering other statements.

"I wouldn't say flawless, he's certainly kept most of his human psyche, but it's quite obviously changed."

There was a sudden silence as Aurora connected her camera to the binoculars, and her conversational partner fell into thought. In the time it took for him to respond, she had snapped several pictures of the whale pod, and a few others of the boat out at sea. Aurora wondered in that moment if that boat even knew the island existed, or what it looked like to them. In a surprise, Tellios responded that he would be honored to be her student.

She never had heard that before...but it was a nice gesture.

"I don't mind, I still find it weird people calling me 'Acarya' or 'Professor.' Whatever you decide to call me should be okay. My ideal student isn't someone who is necessarily smart. It's someone who is teachable, and who gets along with everyone else. Others may have different thoughts about it."

She'd never had problems with students in her class before, and she certainly refused to start now.

"The good news is, I only teach the old way. Sure, I use technology a little bit, but teaching music, be it band or choir doesn't really take much tech to begin with. Do you know how to play an instrument or sing?"

"Indeed, I had an understanding that some teachers will discipline students for correcting or even telling them they are wrong."

He did hear and read about those things from the World Wide Web. Even watched some videos on it. He gave it some thought as he was going. He moved over to the fence and looked back at the scenery. It was nice to see for him as is, besides the fence in the way.

"Could have been an issue during the transfer. He rubbed his chin. "That may have been the issue. From a change from his old body to the new one could have resulted in over One to a million different problems. and that's rounding down."

He blinked a few times and realized that it was her son they were talking about so he opened his mouth once more. He had hoped he didn't strike a nerve at all, though she seemed to have come to terms with it in general.

"I am sorry. Please forgive my carelessness."

She said a word that threw Tellos off. Acarya?

Acarya; he began to search up.

O Teacher

It came up with other answers but in this situation it would be best. Unless Aurora DID kill her spiritual master in some kind of combat.

"Your Logic seems sound, you wish for a model student who will enjoy being in the class."

He nodded his head at this term. It was interesting and he never had heard of it before as he was trying to find out what it meant and what context to use it in. Tellios found many situations that weren't suited to him, but would be deemed 'Respected'. He looked back at the teacher who was taking pictures still and what not and stayed out of the way of them.

"Instruments? I can play many different instruments. I have information stored with in to competently play most instruments." he said with no hesitation, he had much information stored for instruments, fingerings, how to play, notes and all. Though it was very basic it would be enough that he could slide by with out looking weird. He would just look like he is decent with everything. "You teach Music?"

"Sometimes that's a bad practice, but occasionally, telling someone they're wrong while in the middle of a lecture isn't good either. It undermines the classes' cohesion and the teacher's authority. It's a style that I don't practice myself, but I can certainly understand why they would do such things."

As always, there were two sides of the coin, and Aurora preferred to err on the side of caution when it came to disciplining students. She realized that she didn't know everything, and music was a dynamic process, a collaborative one that she could not entirely control herself.

"I'd have to disagree. His transfer was flawless. But...how would you feel if you had a previously human body and was thrust into a new one suddenly? How about vice versa? I'd imagine that process is nothing less than traumatic mentally, no matter how 'flawless' the process is technologically. I don't mind if you're curious, I just wish I could give you better answers."

Aurora knew the feeling of death and rebirth all too well. It wasn't pleasant in the slightest, and even now it was something of a disturbing thing to think about, no matter how jaded she was to her past, or to her probable futures.

"Every student is going to have their own little quirks. I don't expect a model student, I expect a reasonable one who yes, will enjoy being in the class rather than being forced."

It was a model that Aurora preferred most teachers used, and was actually enforced when it came to advanced group auditions. In any case, it appeared that Tellios would be adaptable to just about any situation that she could throw him in, with some training of course.

"Yes, I direct the music program here, and you seem to have the advantage of telling me what you want to learn. I'll be happy to guide you through it, but I'm not going to force you to learn something you don't want to."

"I had not considered that. I will ensure not to do such things until the end of class for clarification." He spoke. He wasn't sure on what to say about that. He was interested in some of the students.

Giving it a few moments to sit and record some of the information he did give it some thought. He went through some simulations of being in another body, each one didn't go well. He may go nuts and crazy and just rampage.

"Interesting assumption. Any answer you have is sufficient." He wasn't wrong and didn't want to dig deeper with out talking to the one who performed the procedure. So he just shrugged it off. So he decided to change the topic on the fly. Or try to anyways.

"Everyone has their Quirks. It.. Makes an individual from what I understand, but you do have your own Ideal student."

Leaving not much thought into what he was saying he tried to reason up some logic for what he was doing. He realized that in order to get into music he would need to adapt, though that was what he was made for. He had read an extra few Journal Entries of the Lead Professor known only as 'Executor Z.' which had stated that Tellios was meant to adapt almost like a human, but the command codes were only half finished. so he needed time in order to finish and load them into his system.

"Learning is what I came here to do. Though music seems Logical since I wish to be with in the Theater Field. Will allow me to gain a far better understanding of the Audio spectrum by joining a band. It is not forced if I wish to be the one to join."

"My class works a bit different. In music, mistakes do need to be corrected almost immediately. It's a collaborative effort, not an assignment you turn in."

Of course there were even in music, a few assignments that one turned in, although they were usually spot checks of things like pencils, folders and especially music. Often times, marks in music was a sign of a good musician, and Aurora did her absolute best to make sure that every student had quite literally everything marked.

"I do have my own ideal student. But nobody can possibly live up perfectly to it...and I don't think anyone should."

A perfect student was one that was probably trying to hard. It was a paradox, but a perfect student...wasn't.

Aurora started disassembling her equipment having gotten the pictures she wanted. It was near time to go right back to work.

"Anywho Tellios, it was good to meet you. I look forward to having you in class, and make sure to put in your name and audition for any of the bands around. If not, you can always come after class. I can be found in one of the practice rooms doing my own thing, and I'd be happy to give you a lesson."
