"Uh... Okay..." He does as she said, still looking unsure if he did it right. "See - not bad at all!" She prattles off how he continue to solve the problem, only getting quiet for a moment to look some of her own papers while he finishes another example (that way she's not hovering over his shoulder the entire time!). "Anything can be solved with physics, Prince Lan."
"Even political debates?" He asks as he bites at the feather on his quill.

"So in other words... Physics can't always solve everything." Lan looks a bit smug.

"Well if you want to get technical...Physics explains the positioning in the room - how the politicians can stand, how they have enough energy to draw in each breath they utilize to spew their nonsense, and how they twitch their greedy little fingers to sign each false promise and useless treaty. Physics explains everything except the nature of men. No one can account for emotions. Well actually perhaps Poisson can...it probably has to do more with chemicals. Then again, all of those reactions need physics too...shall I go into more detail?"

Lan chews on his quill more, in thought. "So... You're saying that by putting physics into what's around me then it perhaps can help make better judgments? Just... Observing things and such?"

"Generally observation helps with things. People often see but hardly take note of the consequences. Politicians blab so much they do not see the red flags and sharks around them. Mages forget that physics affects their work. Just imagine if you mastered physics more - magic could be used to bend the world differently - to affect math, light, and angles! People should simply ask why more."

Lan blinks. "Why didn't you say this in yesterday's class, ma'am? I think I would've kept my trap shut then. This seems to make a lot more sense to me as to why we are learning this."

"Surprisingly... With how fast you talk, ma'am." Lan giggles.

"I doubt my mind could take it. I can't keep coming to you after classes in search for private tutoring. I'll be taking up your time and also causing more rumors to spread. I don't need any more, ma'am."

Or that I'm giving you preferential treatment since your father is my king?"

"Any type of rumors I'm sure the imperials will make up. They already dislike me. One prince against many imperials... My odds are not in my favor, ma'am."
