Library, Sunday 10/02

All things considered, the good was definitely outweighing the bad this weekend. True, things had been tense between Karla and Surreal's visitor (understatement of the year), and there was no sign of her mother (which she hadn't held out much hope for), but she hadn't sensed the presence of her brothers or any other unwelcome visitors, and best of all, Jono was visiting.

She really didn't want to tear herself away to go open the library, but she couldn't shirk her duties either. And anyone coming to visit the library today might just get an empathic taste of the good mood she was projecting.

Basic Strategy, Monday, 10/03

"Welcome to class," Tyrion said, once they'd gathered in the usual classroom. "I hope you enjoyed seeing your families or guardians, if they came; a few of them spoke with me. I promise I said nothing incriminating."

"This is a fairly easy week -- for me, not for you. I just have to read the names on this piece of paper, then you're to take care of the rest of it. I drew names at random to pair you up. Each pair is to spend some time together over the course of the week discussing something each of you might teach the other, and perhaps beginning some instruction in it. I don't especially care what the skill is, but please, nothing illegal, particularly immoral, or likely to get you killed."

He was betting on the last element being the hardest.

"You can either spend today as a discussion session, or leave with your partner to go work on whatever you're teaching each other. Next week, we'll discuss what we learned."

And with that, he took out the sheet and began to read.
