Cultural Understanding, Monday.
"Welcome," Alistair greeted the students, looking fairly pleased with himself. "Have some candy! We've got plenty. They keep handing it out everywhere!" Possibly because Alistair almost never took his armor off...
Or because some squirrels wanted to see how much sugar it would take before Morrigan turned him into a frog again. Judging by the way her jaw was set, critical mass was probably going to be sometime soon.
"Please don't eat it all at once," she sighed. "For you will need some for class today, and I will not hold your head if you eat yourself ill on sweets."
"Right," Alistair said. He took another handful of candy, and grinned. "We were... going to talk about games today. The ways we play, what we play, that sort of thing. I mean, everyone learns to play every now and again, right? Even if the bloody clerics tell you to stay put and be a good boy, Alistair--" He swallowed down some candy. "--Actually, those are the best games. The looks on their faces!"
"'Tis certain you would not approve of the games my mother taught me," Morrigan said, mildly. "But, 'tis my understanding that nearly all cultures enjoy a good wager."
"So today, you all get to introduce and play some games from your home worlds," Alistair said cheerfully. "And bet on them!"
He stole some more candy. Sigh.
Morrigan's eye twitched. Slightly. "Keep your betting to the candy, if you will," she continued. "Unless you are willing to risk losing more than you have."
"And that's not what we're here to educate you about!" Alistair chirped. "Heeee."
