Regardless, the professor may lack a certain kind of tact, but he's not ineloquent with it. His response isn't quite flippant, but it is casual.]
The past leaves its scars, but it only catches up to you if you let it. You appear to have come out all the more lively for it, if you don't mind me saying. [A shrug of broad shoulders. A little eyebrow quirk is thrown at any passing students, coupled with a thin grin. They look away immediately.]
...I'd take that bet, if not for the fact that I'm inclined to agree with you. I've a family of politicians; now, if the question was a matter of "who has survived the biggest cesspit of passive-aggressive manipulation and impossible standards", then I may take that tequila from you.
