[Education was probably the least intimidating thing Richard's had to deal with over the past-- however long he's been here. Certainly in the last hour. But he's already so behind and not even sure where he stands on the education front-- he doesn't really feel very clever for the disgraceful way he's been acting today.
He's not even really sure what a 'classical Greco-Roman education' was supposed to entail, but it certainly sounded impressive. And all in all he's pretty sure Damian's way smarter than him in light of it.
The corner of his own eyes are still stinging a bit, but he's still watching Damian to keep some sort of focus, can can detect the way his expression changes, and most of all watches the way that he's keeping busy, where usually Damian seems pointed and purposeful.
The brutality of the 'tradition' doesn't surprise or phase him, it just seems rather inefficient. Perhaps the Court of Owls just took more restraint in choosing their targets.]
I'm sorry. [He does know a thing or two about isolation while deep in assassin strongholds. And he didn't really want to bring it up if it upset the other.]
It-- it must have been a little fun, though. Learning all that stuff. [Head bowed again, and he's nervously rubbing his forearms with his hands. It was kind of a paltry attempt at trying to carry a conversation, but he was trying.] I don't even know anything about science.
