"In last week's class gave us a snapshot of what we'll be covering over the rest of the semester," Nathan said as he passed around the day's handouts. "Good leaders are not mindless leaders. They are leaders who look at the angles and ask the basic questions. Should they be in charge? Why? How?

"Today we're going to start on the how." Nathan moved back to his desk. "As you can see in your handouts, there are different kinds of leadership styles. Some of you showed the styles that you're more comfortable with last week. In today's class I'd like you to pair up and embody these styles. Pick at least one each, and use those styles on each other. The leadership challenge that you're facing is whether or not there should be coffee available for next week's class. Doesn't matter what position you pick. Just use that leadership style to come to a decision and try to implement it.

"Two announcements before you get started," Nathan added. "First, Meg is going to be the TA for this class so if you need any help in that area talk to her. Second, Student Council Elections are coming up. As you can imagine that's pretty closely tied to what we're working on in class. So if anyone here tries out for Student Council, I will give you extra credit." Nathan grinned. "It's not a requirement that you win, only that you try. I have forms up here if anyone needs them."

Turtle shook her head, but her grin remained. "No," she said, "that's Jamie. I'm utterly and completely unmagical. Believe me, I tried. I'm just very tenacious and determined and smart."

"I find that most girls are like that," Dor said with a nod as he wondered about this Jamie person. "Or at least they're a lot smarter than boys."

"Well, duh." Turtle definitely smirked at that one, and now officially thought Dor was awesome. "Although you're one up from most boys for being able to realize that."

"I learned that a long time ago," Dor said with an emphatic nod. "Though I'd never admit that to them back home. It would upset the natural order of things."

"More like upset the natural order of men and their delusions," Turtle muttered with wry satisfaction.

"Yes, but if the women knew I knew they were smarter than me then they wouldn't have as much fun," Dor grinned.

Turtle arched her eyebrow a little at that statement, and then settled a very careful, calculating sort of look over Dor. She held up a finger, shook it at him slightly. "I'm going to have to keep an eye on you. I'm almost certain that most guys are just as dumb as they act, but now I've got reason to suspect and look out for signs in you, mister."

Dor chuckled. "Oh I don't think you need to do that. I'm pretty harmless."

"Yeah," Turtle responded back with a little look at Dor. "That's what you'd want me to believe."
