"Oh, I've been called names," Sloane replies wryly, returning the smile, and walks towards the window. "I'm sure your friend Mr. Logan could come up with some new ones."
He sounds more amused than anything else.
"I find it rejuvinating, in a way, being around students and faculty that are so much younger."
Well, except for Logan, but then again, they avoided each other after that first encounter, and besides, classified files or not, Sloane had no idea how old the man truly was, just guess work.
"But I admit it sometimes reminds me of, well, the past, in lack of a better term. That other country, to which we can't return."
Jack, he thinks, and experiences a moment of fierce loss he hadn't expected. This was supposed to be an attempt at socializing and putting Scott Summers at ease by admitting to little weaknesses. Not an access of genuine emotions.
It probably was just that Scott Summers with his quiet aura was a good listener, and had reminded him of Jack a little during the auditioning interview. One more reason to be wary and to stick to harmless school teacher personas. Well, not harmless. They wouldn't have hired him if he was, not in this kind of school.
"If I come across as too hierarchical," he adds, back to socializing, "feel free to remind me dust starts settling on me. That usually works."
