[ She is no tavern wench. She is the final boss. Luckily, Grace isn't picking up on her new tutor's dilemma. No, she's having herself a casual stroll in the direction of the exit closest to the student parking lot. She stops with her hand on the push bar, eye brow raising. ]

[ She's just listing off options to make this easy for the blond, really. She opens the door, holding it for her awkward boy. She's kind of surprised by the addition and shakes her head, rummaging about for her keys. ]
Listen, if you're taking time out of your day to help me I'm going to pay you. It's on me to actually perform as far as my scores. My ballet classes are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. What days are you good for?
[ She's more than comfortable in carrying a conversation, so Simon can just warm up to the idea of talking to a girl under 40 gradually. Also, how thorough. There aren't many cars remaining so her vividly red Audi stands out. The bag goes in the back and she slips in, patting the passenger seat with a playful grin. ]

[ GRACE. Honey. To be fair, she is aware that her life is a privileged one, but she still works hard! It's weird to be suddenly self-conscious about having an expensive car. What is interacting with people outside her circle of gratuitously wealthy acquaintances she doesn't...really...like? Hm. ]
