Tactics 201, Thursday, Period Two

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Class met in an ordinary classroom today; Kerrigan was seated-- well, leaning, really-- against the desk, her arms crossed. Over her breasts. Protectively.

For no reason, really.

"We've only got a class left until exam time, kids--" Which meant two weeks-- three weeks? until graduation, crap, "So today's time for a review and discussion of the past months' work before the grand final practice next week. You'll be getting your handwavey, if necessary sim stats back. Go over stuff, see what you might need to improve on, and you'll get a 30% grade on that material."

She pushed forward-- away from the desk. "Secondly, we've been dealing primarily with my universe, here. I feel it's a good learning exercise, not to mention good for the pushing whole 'working together' issue, if you all would find a partner and discuss warfare in your world. As it is, in contrast to the other person's, and in contrast to the class material."

"It did in my world. It doesn't mean it has to for you, but..." he hesitated. "I can help, but... I don't want to destroy the Fire Nation. It's my home and I'm supposed to protect people, but right now my father is hurting them more than anyone else."

"Sorry to burst your bubble," Sokka told him, "but it's not the Fire Nation that's hurting, here." He facepalmed. "We're not going to hurt civilians. We're not..." Sokka sighed and gave Zuko a pleading look. "All we want is to end the war, with as few deaths as possible. Yeah, we're going to have to kill people to do it, but maybe after that, all the fighting and killing will be done."

Zuko made a face. "I know what war is. I know what it costs. It's why I want to help Aang, but I'm not helping so that they can make it part of the Earth Kingdom and tear it apart. We need to restore balance to the world."

"Well, we're not going to restore balance to the world," Sokka pointed out, with a sad sort of smirk. "Not unless we get Aang a harem and tell him to have at it until he chafes. But we can make a start."

He blinked at Zuko, suddenly seeing one of the most important bits from the opposite point of view. "You, uh... You realize that, uh... Um. Your father and your sister..." He grimaced.

Your father and your sister are going to have to be killed. By us.

Zuko had just been staring at Sokka, but his expression quickly changed and he glanced over Sokka's shoulder. "Fighting the Firelord is the Avatar's destiny," he said simply as if that said enough and really to Zuko, it did.

"Yeah," Sokka said, twisting around to try to figure out what Zuko was looking at. "I guess it is." But he was thinking deeply, and when he turned back to Zuko his eyes were cold.

If I can manage it, I'M going to deliver the final blow. So he doesn't have to.
