"Congratulations, you've made it all the way to week ten," Ghanima said dryly from her perch on the desk. "So far, many of our discussions seem to have focused on physical engagements of force, mostly because many of you are all familiar with tactics in a military sense. While I am as much a fan of armed combat as the next Fremen, however, it is it necessary to learn how to apply the tactical ideas you are learning outside a battlefield."

"Last week, we tried to measure cost against outcome when weighing the human element," Ghanima remarked. "Today, we focus completely on the human component, and turn our tactical prowess to that most dreaded tactical engagement of all - relationships."

Please to ignore the good-natured chuckling coming from the man behind the desk. No, scratch that. Not chuckling. Shunsui was downright giggling.

"Each of you has a slip on your desk with an assignment. You must try and follow the directions to the best of your abilities, using the tactical ideas we have discussed in your negotiations. You are not limited to your classmates for this exercise, and indeed, I shall award extra credit for each successful 'mission' you undertake. I will do my best to listen to radio and chart your progress, but you will be expected to report on your varying levels of success next week."

"Especially," said Shunsui, in between very amused and very pleased giggles, "since I'm taking it on as my personal mission, in the spirit of the assignment, to do what I can to distract Ghani-chan from charting your progress too closely ♥."

Yes, boys and girls, you are going on dates. Ghanima just raised one eyebrow at Shunsui, since by now she had a rather good idea of what sort of 'distraction' her co-teacher had in mind.

...which was possibly more than you EVER wanted to know about your teachers and their extra-curricular activities.

"Get what you want out of the other person, without giving too much ground," she sighed, trying to not facepalm. "Do try not to end the world while you are at it."

"And, please," said Shunsui, lifting his hat to give them all a surprisingly serious imploring face, "remember to have fun ♥. While all is fair in love and war, you may find things even fairer in love and peace ♥."

Ender supposed that he couldn't offer up evidence of managing this very thing just a month ago.

But it wouldn't exactly be hard.

Well. That just seemed rude. Wesley far preferred to be the one to bring Katniss food, especially because, well, she did... rather love food. Not to mention that there were all sorts of gender roles inherent in having her cook for him, and he wanted nothing to do with those.

He wondered if there was some way to get around this assignment.

Oh no. This... was going to be dreadful.

Mercy was pretty sure she was going to fail miserably at this.

Oh, lovely. The instructors must be touched by the gods for thinking of this assignment.

'Warren, I'm hungry,' usually worked well. As did a reminder of his promise of delicious lunches forever.

Maybe Karla could change the assignment from getting one dinner to seeing how many she could get instead. It would seem more sporting that way.

Jason thought that maybe he'd be able to pull this off, but he wasn't sure. It would all depend on Nico's mood, really.
