[Lloyd had always thought he was stupid. It's not that anyone said it, exactly, but next to Genis, and with Genis's teasing and Raine's longsuffering exasperation of him, he'd gotten something of an impression. Yet now, with Raine's clear pride and Genis's compliment -- Lloyd doesn't want to point fingers, even to clear up his own confusion. Instead he smiles, proudly pushing the slate toward Genis so he can see.]
Ah, thanks, guys. Thanks, Dad.
[Kratos is not prone to blushing, and he doesn't; but the startled blink and the warm smile is just about the equivalent.]
You're welcome. Tomorrow we'll go over it again, and possibly add one or two more categories.
[Colette claps, very nearly bouncing in her chair, and that is entirely unlike Martel in a way Kratos appreciates very much.]
You're gonna do great, Lloyd! You've got two really good teachers now!
[Lloyd doesn't look away from his dad, his smile growing.]

Yeah, I do, don't I?
[Fools for each other indeed.]
