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.

Re: Pair + Discuss [10/03]
Simon hesitated a little, glancing around, then reminded himself that he'd made the decision to be more open about this while he still had the chance. The island was special. Right.
It wasn't extravagant. He took a breath, and there was a brief moment where his head moved rapidly, in an unnatural and rather painful-looking way, but it was just for a few seconds. And then he vanished. He was still there; if she'd reach out, she'd feel him. But he couldn't be seen, or heard.

She reached a hand out, to cover where his had been, and was amazed to find skin under her fingers.
She stared, breathless, until she managed a laugh.
"But that is wonderful," she said. "You are perfectly cloaked. God's own spy."
Re: Pair + Discuss [10/03]
Regardless, that made him smile. He was still smiling as he rippled back into visibility, except for that mandatory painful bit in the middle of the process. "That's what I can do."
