Thaumaturgy 101 - Thursday - First Period - 1/08
She was more than glad to see, as her students streamed in, more than a couple familiar faces and quite a few new ones. After the heavy lecture of the last class, she was rather excited for this one. Oh the plans that she had...
"Well," she said as she stepped away from her desk, her blue corduroy walking dress swishing ever so faintly in the morning sun, "you've come to this class, I should like to hope, to learn the very basics of thaumaturgy. Were you to be interested in pistolry, this would be comparable to learning to build the contraption. Should you have been interested in dance, this is where you would learn the steps.
"Thaumaturgy is a complex art, to be sure, with many schools and branches and ideologies mixed into it but there is, at it's heart, a logic and a methodology, else it should be very hard to teach, don't you think?"
She didn't wait for an answer, but went on.
"I myself hold a doctorate in the subject, but my area of expertise is in forensic sorcery. My schooling was done with many of the Teutonic masters and so I admit that there might be something of a slant; I shall do my best to correct this should it become anything like a problem. For today, however, we shall of course be doing introductions and I will be handing out the syllabus and a small survey."
[ocd is a go!]

"Well, I won't keep you long, but I'll put you on as teaching assistant. It'll be good to know there's someone I trust who'll be helping again."

"I'm glad to hear that you enjoy them. I worry I get a bit stuffy sometimes."
Re: Abby Irene
It was obvious from her eyes that she was being honest and not trying to be overtly flattering.
She grinned. "Would I have signed up for every one of your classes or continue to volunteer as your TA if I thought differently?"

It would tell her what kind of group she'd be dealing with.
