Conflict Management [Fouth Period]

It was early morning on the Danger Shop's simulated plain. Thick fog blanketed the area around the wagon, rendering everything indistinct. That odd sound in the distance? Probably just the wind.

"One time when being able to effectively manage conflict is vital is when you have conflict on multiple fronts," Oz began without preamble, over that sound that was very likely just to be wind. Wind sounded very moany at times. "You cannot deal with an outside conflict when your team can't work together. But at the same time, the right kind of crisis can help bring a team together like no bodies business."

Anyone who found that statement reassuring was clearly in the wrong class. "For example, I've often found zombies particularly motivating."

It was probably pretty obvious by now that that moany, groany shuffling wasn't the wind.

Library, Saturday [6/9]

Cassidy was in a thoughtful mood as she went about her duties in the library.

She had been thinking a lot about the conversation with Ender last week and then about his class. He was right in that she needed to approach her studying from a different mindset. She needed to be able to identify her strengths as well as her weaknesses and then tailor things to that knowledge. (And ask Ender for suggestions.)

That would be why she was examining each book before she shelved them -- just in case it was something that she could learn from.
