Alice smiled back at the professor, making sure to avert her eyes away when the woman raised an eyebrow.
What? Yoga wasn't fun. It was
hard. The lioness was still confused about how the Professor's old person muscles could handle it and her own couldn't. The explanation had definitely escaped her mind. PLUS. She was the hulk. She had monster muscles. So she could totally do yoga.
That only left one explanation.
Yoga was totally rigged.
SPOILER!!: Professor Romanos

"Before we begin, I would like you all to move into what we call the 'Lotus Position'. If you don't know what that is, look at how I am sitting or turn to an older student for help." Despite the either creepy or calm way the candles lit up the room, depending on one's point of view, it should've been enough to see how she currently sat. "Today we are indeed going over review to refresh our minds on this topic, as we have from previous years, however..."
She paused momentarily for dramatic effect. "I am going to be re-introducing the five senses this year as well as hoping to detour most of your standard way of thinking during classes." The first answer they thought of was usually what was blurted out. "To do that, today, when you raise your hand to answer a question, whatever that answer may be...I want you to stop, clear that answer from your mind, and give me a different one. Does everyone understand that?"
Lotus Position

And.. NO.
Nononononono.
They were doing the yoga. Alice winced when Professor Romanos told them to get into lotus position. She hated that. Biting her lip nervously, she tried pulling her legs inward and her toes up on her knees as instructed. But every time one foot kept slipping off of her knee.. ehh. Whatever. She could just sit with only one foot on her knees. Same difference. The young girl crossed her legs and listened intently as the Professor finished up.
More senses lesson? Hmph. Change our answers?! HMPH. That was.. an alright rule. She supposed. Alice had that problem, where she blurted out the first thing that came into her mind and made herself look incredibly stupid. Maybe she would be able to think a bit this class and offer more intelligent answers? She hoped so.
She tried tugging her legs into lotus position again
and did not succeed and waited for more directions,
