Because Prometheus was a little shit, he ducked a little to eat the spoonful of ice cream without taking the spoon, straightening up with a small frown at Hades's semi-scolding. He saw where he was coming from, yeah, but Prometheus could be well-behaved when he felt like it. He just didn't feel like doing it here, because he was resentful. But he couldn't admit he was resentful, because resentment was Bad and he'll be once again lectured by the 'Social Behaviour Counsellor' on How To Manage Your Feelings.
He's had that lecture about five times now. Prometheus didn't think he could endure a sixth without glassing the whole building in a fit of desperation.
(Needless to say, the How To Manage Your Feelings lecture was not sinking in)
"It's in pursuit of peace and quiet, obviously," Prometheus said snidely, "Do you know how loud these people are? I feel like I'm stuck in the middle of an angry swarm of bees, with how much they- they buzz. It's the same in those damned lectures too - how the hell am I meant to concentrate on learning 'patience and discipline', as you say, with all of that going on in the background?"
Really, if it wasn't the dorm-manager coming for his head, it was the Akadaemia's headmaster (one rank below Lahabrea) for skipping the mandatory, Akadaemia-wide debate lectures. Too many people were there, so he, er, just, didn't turn up...
