“You needn’t look so sour,” Alistair told Emlyn in a tone of gentle teasing. “It’s full marks.”

This did nothing to improve Emlyn’s opinion of the essay that the professor had just handed back to xir.

Xe had dashed it off a scant hour before it was due. Its core argument—if it had any, and if xe were questioned now xe knew xe couldn’t give its summary—was borne not of rigorous study and reflection but rather of a flailing hazard towards points xe’d heard fellow students make in the lecture. It was not xir best work, and xe knew it. Therefore the essay could not have received full marks on its own merit.

Which left Emlyn to wonder what other reasons might lead xir professor to grade it so highly.
