"Wide open," he agreed "How else is all that knowledge going to drop in there?"

He finished up his attempts at a decent drink and slid it across the counter to her, watching her for her reaction. He was pretty pleased with what he'd come up with, but he wasn't sure how it would actually taste without the proper ingredients.

"College is great, it wasn't too hard to adjust."

"I bet your professors love you," she laughed softly, the smile lingering on her face.

She murmured a thank you for the drink then picked it up and took a sip. She nodded a bit. "You did well. Now you have to name it."

Her eyebrows went up a bit. "That's not a reaction many people have. Did you like high school?" Because she'd discovered that many people who had a difficult time adjusting did quite well in high school. She was curious if the opposite were true.

"Eh," he wobbled his hand, pulling an uncertain face "Love me as long as I'm not correcting them, I guess." he couldn't help but point out when things were wrong, and he was pretty sure he hadn't mastered the confidence to pull it off, he probably just came across as more annoying.

"I call it..." he paused dramatically, partly for suspense, partly to give himself a chance to think of something good "Serra-Tonin. Because it's got enough booze to make you happy." he grinned a little. It wasn't the best pun he'd ever come up with, but he was still pleased.

"Now that would be telling," he winked, working on mixing his own drink, though he wasn't quite quick enough to hide the face he initially pulled at the question, it was obvious the answer was no.

Oh. So he was that student. Honestly, it made him all the more attractive to Inara because it meant he was smart and who didn't like a smart guy, besides the professors. Confidence was something that would come with time and age. She had no doubt he'd gain it and something in her wanted to help him gain that confidence. He'd be a force to be reckoned with then.

Maybe not the best pun, but it was good enough to make her laugh. "I'll let you know by the end of the night if you've got a career as a bartender or not," she teased him She took another sip of the drink. He'd managed to fulfill her requirements quite nicely.

She smirked, eyebrows arching a moment. "I did very well in high school, but I didn't like it much." She'd been expected to do well and her father wouldn't stand for anything else. Besides, Inara was competitive and that had gotten the better of her. It helped that she liked her studies.

"Well, once you're done with that one just let me know and I'll mix you up another. Unless it's terrible, in which case I will not do that." he grinned. He took an experimental sip of his own drink, the strength of it making him cough slightly (oh, very smooth Tony, good going). While he was embarrassed at his own reaction, he didn't want to make himself look worse by adding more mixer, so instead he took another sip, this time fighting back the cough.

"Yea? Would've thought a pretty girl like you would have had a great time at high school." he said conversationally.
