Hey there Strat... oh, he knows I'm a smart-ass! 

Gosh, d'ya think I was hard on Freeze?  No, no, no!

Well, shit.  It certainly wasn't meant that way!
I really do wonder where swearing to loosen people up, falls into!  I'm hoping Freeze understands it to be intellectual banter, is all...

Freeze... I have my pencil out, ready to take notes... eagerly waiting for our next class.  Albeit with some trepidation now!  Am I in trouble?

(Well, that didn't take long.)
