You are doing fine, darling, and yes, I do. Emma orders a grilled chicken salad with a side of fresh fruit. She thinks, very carefully, before she speaks. She's intrigued by Arvin Sloane, though a little wary of what it is he wants. He is eager to learn something about himself, and while Emma understands that completely, she must keep the students foremost in her mind.
Arvin is right, about strategy. She thinks back to few weeks ago, when Scott tried to teach her chess. She had been practicing on the computer ever since then. Trying different things. Different strategies. There was wisdom, she was learning, in different approaches. Approaches born of different motivations. As long as they remained careful, there was no reason Sloane could not be an asset.
His healing abilities are, frankly, a bonus. They often lead very...unpredictable...lives, and Arvin may have been at a disadvantage in that arena. But this new information--it would need to be tested, of course. Still, it eased her mind somewhat to know he would not be entirely defenseless.
"I agree. Latin is most certainly important, and would give the students a competitive edge. And I cannot say we could not use some strategists on board. Perhaps you could head up the chess team." Emma smiles at him.

What do you think of him, Scott?
