"Good day, friends! Once again, I am She-Ra, your substitute teacher," She-Ra greeted the class in her full uniform - from golden hairband to white mini to gold stiletto boots. "While some of you may have noticed the many Harpys that appeared on the island, I promise you are all quite safe here in the school. Should you go out of doors, however, be aware of the danger and move quickly to avoid the dastardly creatures." With that public service announcement out of the way, She-Ra could get to the real class topic. And after class, she could go and send Hunga's troops back to Etheria where they belonged. Ahem.

"Now, Captain Hammer requested I speak to you all on the necessity of selecting the proper weapon in a given fight." Obviously he'd heard about her magical sword, which she drew from its sheath, allowing the stone in the center to sparkle in the light. "The Sword of Protection is no mere sword with the sole purpose of hacking and chopping at an opponent. How is it different? Allow me to demonstrate." Because seeing was believing, after all.

"Sword to lasso!" She-Ra shouted, holding her sword high, and in a flash of golden light her sword formed into a lasso. "The lasso is the perfect weapon for catching an opponent who is fleeing the scene." She-Ra swung the lasso across the room to grab the podium and pull it to her. A moment later, the lasso was coiling into a sword shape as she shouted, "Lasso to sword!"

"As you have seen, the magic of Castle Grayskull allows this sword to transform into any object I request, from a shield to a grappling hook. Now, not all weapons are as gifted as my sword and then you must be particular about what you carry based on what you are fighting. Let's consider the Harpys. Find a partner and ask yourselves: What weapons will protect you from them? What weapons would you use to neutralize a Harpy? How would you combat them? From a group or on your own? Now students, please don't misunderstand me, I'm not encouraging any of you to battle the Harpys today, let us simply discuss tactics and weaponry that would improve the likelihood of a victory over these evil beasts and a means to send them back to Hunga."

And if it helped the ones who would not be dissuaded from the fight, all the better.

"For what purpose?" he asked, playing dumb.

"Oh, you know, this class has quite the draw," She-Ra teased. "Two dozen teenagers, hanging on my every word."

"Captain Hammer's gone a lot," Hannibal pointed out. "He get some girl pregnant or something?"

It was a logical question.

"Is that really your first assumption?" She-Ra asked, raising her sculpted eyebrows at him.

"For him?" He thought about it. "Yes, yes it is."

"Then I believe you'll have to ask him about that," she replied. "All I know is he was busy. I would like to think he is off fighting the Harpys."

"Or he's hiding," Hannibal quipped. "Surprised you didn't just cancel class to get out there and fight them."

"Shirking my responsibilities to the students wouldn't seem prudent. Who knows what sort of trouble this bunch could get into in a fight."

"Well, I'm sure half of them don't want to be here when there's...things outside," he said, wincing.

She-Ra hoped that meant he was going to stay where it was safe. "I won't see you out there going after Harpys later, will I?"

"Don't make me lie to you," he answered and shrugged.

That was not the answer She-Ra had hoped to hear. "If you won't stay where it's safe, might I suggest you join me and Swift Wind?"

"Are you trying to protect me?" he asked, amused.

Yes. "I wish only for your safety, my friend. If you must fight, do so with friends." And people who have amazing healing hands. She-Ra was not used to people who would just run into a fight guns blazing.

"I'll see what I can do," he non answered. "I've got a few people of my own that I need to check on before I do anything."

Her eyes widened, thinking of Edward. "I know the feeling. Of course, it's slightly more complicated today. Perhaps Adora will think to check on some of our friends after class."

"I think she will," Hannibal said, nodding. "Call me confident. And I'm sure there all fine but good to check anyway."
