Keeping Your Advantage: Terrain and You, Week VI [Monday, Period 1]


The students had received hadwavey notice that class would meet in a classroom, instead of the Danger Shop. Ghanima didn't want to be around any more fancy technology today.

And if she was doing an internal head-count as her students arrived, well, she doubted anyone would blame her.

The classroom itself had been transformed; no desks, large pillows and blankets, and juice and hot tea on the one remaining table. Anyone who had taken any of Ghanima's classes before knew that this meant Movie Day.

"Sometimes, you find yourself in an unknown situation, forced to rely upon allies that you barely know," she began gently, as the last student arrived. "You can either resent this, or make the best of it. You won't always be the one who knows the terrain best, who is familiar with the environment, but you can always find someone who is."

"Watch the film, get some sleep, or go to the clinic if you have not already been checked out by a healer of some sort."

Cara remained behind after class. "Professor Atreides?"

Cara kept her tone and posture as respectfully neutral as possible, which admittedly was something of an effort. "I apologise for missing the last two weeks of classes." Since 'I fell down a hole and couldn't get out' wouldn't have counted as a reasonable excuse among the Mord'Sith, she didn't bother offering it up.

Irulan lurked outside of Ghanima's class. She wanted a glimpse of Ghanima, drinking in the sight of her stepdaughter, very glad that she was here.

That put a smile on Irulan's lips and entered the classroom, replying:

You know me and my sensibilities, stepdaughter.
