Gym: After Classes

Katara couldn't explain how she'd gotten roped into setting this Club Fair thing up.  But she had and so she was going to do it awesomely, darnit. 

Which was why she was scurrying around the gym like a crazy person, trying to put everything in order for the club fair.

[OOC: I suck a ton and totally forgot until the amazing [profile] vkandis_son reminded me so many many thanks to her.  OCD is coming up and if you ping in before that, I will steal Hades' preogative and mock the crap out of you.  OCD is up!  Thank you for waiting!]

Karal laughed softly and went a bit pink around the ears, though he wasn't sure why. "Well, I like the short version. Hieratic script, it's called. When you're taking notes, it lets you can catch everything. You can capture an idea, a phrase, a whole thought in one small figure."

Adah gave a slight nod. "Like shorthand," she said, albeit quietly, and, after being uncertain if Karal would know what she meant, she hastily added, "Secretaries use it. And people who take minutes in court..."

And she'd probably have to learn it in school, despite the fact that she wouldn't ever use it. However, she had ovaries, and therefor, would be expected to not bother with that whole medical school business and make herself more marketable.

"Exactly! I used to take notes for my Master in it and, really, most of my notes for class are in Hieratic script." The look he turned on her was a bit uncertain. "I'd not planned on including it in the club, but I'd be happy to teach you, if you wanted to learn it. It's very useful."

Smirking crookedly, Adah gave her head a light shake, her eyes closing genially and her hand lifting, slightly, careful not to loosen the vice her arm had on her note book, to gesture that it would really be quite unnecessary. She was determined that the only shorthand type of writing she would be doing involved the abbreviations for the elements in molecular equations.

"All right," he said with a smile, leaning his head on his hand. "The offer is there if you change your mind." Though he had little doubt that she wouldn't; it struck him that once she'd made up her mind, it stayed that way.
