She returned no longer a simple school teacher; she was once again President of the Twelve Colonies. As a result, it was with a bittersweet smile that she greeted her class. "Good afternoon, everyone. I hope you had a restful weekend."

She leaned against the desk, hands at her sides to provide support. "This term, we've explored how history can become distorted...or, in some cases, completely overcome by the legends that arise from actual events. It was my intention to explore the actual histories in a corresponding class this fall. Unfortunately," she continued,"that won't be the case. I've been called back home on business, and I don't know that I'll have the opportunity to return.

"I have enjoyed teaching you, and I hope you've learned at least something during my tenure. I wish you all the best as you continue here, learning and fighting the bad guys." A wry smile twitched upward at the corners of her lips. "I'll be available after class if you wish to discuss any events further.

"Now... get out of here and enjoy the rest of your summer."

Laura waved them off, then turned her attention to the pile of papers behind her. There was a lot to do before she returned to the fleet later that night.

Anders kind of felt an inexplicable urge to drop by Professor Roslin's classroom today. Talking to Lee's dad last week had been . . . interesting, and well, there weren't many people left around here who came from the same place he did.

He hung around in the doorway, hesitant.

Closing her briefcase, Laura glanced up. She smiled, removing her glasses. "Ah, Sam," she said. "I was hoping I'd get a chance to see you."

"You were?" He was a little surprised by that, but he couldn't say he objected. "What's going on?"

"I'm heading back, and I wanted to say goodbye." A lopsided smile curved her lips. "Since I'm leaving tonight, I wasn't sure I'd have a chance to track you down."

[Just FYI, wanted to wrap this thread up. Laura should be cleared out and tagged up by tomorrow night.]

"Back?" asked Anders, slightly crestfallen. Rather unwittingly (but of course he couldn't help it), he added, "To the Colonies?"

[OOC: Awww. 'kay. :(]

Laura hedged a bit. "Home, yes," she nodded. "I'm not sure when -- or if -- I'll get the chance to return to the island."

"I'm really sorry to hear that," Anders said sincerely. "We're getting short on Colonials here. I'm just sorry I didn't have a chance to take more of your classes. Feels like I could've learned a lot from you."

"Thank you, Sam. I appreciate hearing that." Roslin gave a rueful smile. "You'll have a lifetime to learn more...and who knows? Our paths may cross again some day."

"That'd be nice." Anders gave her a slight grin. "Until then I'll do my best to do the Colonies proud right here. Well, until I graduate anyway."
