Hubris from Revelation: the Social Engineering of Ultimate Truths [Monday, Period 2]

[atreideslioness]

Ghanima had had a sense of tingling unease all weekend, like something was scratching behind her eyes, wanting to be seen. A tingling she had pointedly ignored, which had only served to make it so bad, she had taken to bed and not gotten any of the prep for today's class finished.

She wanted no part of the prescience of her brother or father, thank you.

"We're watching a movie today," she said as everyone came in. "There's a handout right over there, and we'll actually discuss Hinduism as a religion next week."

[OCD up!]

Tahiri glanced around and gave Raven a sheepish smile. "Yeah. Even if it's a movie day, maybe later."

Raven nodded. "Somewhere where there are no squirrels," she said. She wasn't sure exactly how much she would tell Tahiri, but she didn't want it making the radio.

"Definitely," Tahiri agreed with a shaky laugh. "Trade you a grape for some crackers?"

"Of course," Raven said pleasantly, holding out her plate to Tahiri.

Tahiri gave her an almost shy smile and put a few crackers on the plate before taking a grape and popping it into her mouth. "I suppose we should be watching the movie, huh?"

"I suppose," Raven said, smiling back. "But we will talk later."

"We will," Tahiri promised. The feeling Raven understood her more than either of them was willing to let on in class had not exactly abated; more the opposite, really.
