[ Yuugi laughs when she cuts on the feed. It's not a laughing-at-you sort of laugh. No it's the "I like the way this guy thinks!" sort of laugh.

In fact, why the hell am I internalizing this at all? ] Like the way you think, coach. [ Someone once told her that it's just something you call all gym / sports / phys ed / whatever teachers, so it stuck with her. Besides, he didn't introduce himself and she isn't in his class. Yet.

What Yuugi does have in common is the blondness, the hugeness, and the forehead protrusion. He might sparkle, but she's got a gold star on her horn (that she earned and everything). ]

[Ah...! He doesn't recognize this girl, but she clearly seems to be very pleased with his way of teaching so far. That's good, always nice to hear he's doing a good job in the eyes of students.]

Ah, I thank you very much for your kind words! I only hope I continue to deserve them.

[Coach, huh? He could get used to that nickname, it's got a nice ring to it...truly an acceptable title for a man such as himself!]

But wait, in all his passion he forgot to properly introduce himself and his mundane forgot to put his name in the subject title. Clearly he must fix this!]

Oh dear...I seem to have gotten a bit carried away in my speech and, because of this, I have forgotten to introduce myself. You have my sincerest apologizes!

[He does look a bit downcast, but only for a few seconds. Then that smile of his is back.]

My name is Alex Louis Armstrong, heir to the Armstrong family. Recently, I was hired by this lovely academy to fill the position of the new Physical Education Instructor. It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance!

I totally failed at keeping track of this, I'm sorry OTL

[ Yuugi didn't mind a lack of introduction, since she had all but made up her mind on what to call him anyhow. ] Nothing wrong with getting carried away. [ She points a thumb at her chest. ] Yuugi. [ Then she waves and grins wide. ] Nice to meetcha!

Think that was the most exciting speech I ever heard. Like you're really into it.

I WASN'T MUCH BETTER...

Yuugi...my, what a fine name for such a kind young woman! I can tell it will not be difficult to remember you, my dear!

[Sparkles all day every day up in here. In fact they only increased once she says how much she liked his speech. He's also beaming at her.]

Oh my, what incredible kindness you possess!

[Here come more tears of joy.]

I assure you, your compliments warm my very soul to its core! Truly you have an eye for detail, as I was rather involved in that rousing speech! There is no point in doing something if you cannot do it PASSIONATELY!!!

[ Wow, he's really hamming it up, but not in the obnoxious "I am the center of my universe" kind of way. In fact, it's pretty funny. ] Heh, got that right. No point in half-assing anything. Gotta get into it! [ Unless we're talking History, in which case, forget that noise. ]
