As much as most people saw Anaxa as stoic and rather solemn as a person, there was a rather large part of you that felt he was just a socially inept weirdo. Whether that was from a collection of many, many mental illnesses, or because he had that type of intelligence that left him slightly lacking in street smarts was unknown. Perhaps both.

He often did odd, spontaneous behaviours during his lectures, that made even his most devout students wonder, if only for a moment, if their professor was actually losing his sanity or something of the like... Sometimes he would cut himself off, go on odd tangents about something kind of stupid, or... Another one.

It was the most amusing one, by far. The one that got most people looking at him like a loon. Occasionally, on these lectures, he would stop dead in his tracks, stare at the writings on the chalkboard behind him, widen his eyes, and burst out into hysterical laughter at something only he seemed aware of. You could only assume that this was his reaction to an epiphany. You hoped so, because it would be worrying if he just did that.

Like now. He was explaining something rather calmly, then did a double take, hair swishing back with him. It was like you could hear the gears turning in his head and then... He started cackling. He always laughed like a madman. It was... interesting.
