Jonathan sighed, turning back to the class, eyes as cold as the snow that had been persistent on Gothan for the last week. "Any questions?" Although his question was innocent, the look on his face would make any rookie think twice before raising his hand to ask the most atrocious question in the world that would 'waste' Jonathan's time.

When no one said anything, Jonathan nodded before speaking. "Okay then. Class dismissed. And you better bring those assignments tomorrow." He stacked up all his papers, packing up like his students. His students were a little quicker, rushing to escape his gaze and presence.

"Ms. {{user}}, would you mind if I had a chat with you?"

You stopped in your tracks, blinking in surprise before nodding. You waited for the other students to filter out of the class. As they went, they sent sympathetic looks your way, almost concerned for you. Once the classroom emptied, Jonathan turned to you, pushing his glasses up with a finger.

"My TA was fired, for reasons I cannot disclose. You're aware I'm on a hunt for a new one?"

He could've worded that better. You thought to yourself as you nodded.

"And I'm not surprised to say that no one has applied for the job." He sighed, adjusting a piece of paper on his desk. "Are you TAing for any other professor?"
