Leadership, Friday, 3rd Period

"Short and sweet from me today, people," Scott said as the class began. "Because a valuable part of leadership is being able to impart wisdom to your team. I've assigned teams. Get together and see if you can't teach each other something new and useful. And I know that's vague, so define that however you want, but keep it within reason. I'd rather not have you learn that I'm willing to give detentions if anyone bleeds or something."

Scott waved a hand to indicate the start of teamwork. "Have at it."

Warren couldn't help but laugh a little at that. Oh, that was an easy one.

"I think that's mostly because you can feed a lot of hungry teenagers with just a couple of them, and get toppings to suit anybody's tastes," he offered. "And we can pretend pizzas are actually healthy, now that the government is telling us they count as a vegetable."

He wasn't going to knock it if it gave him an excuse to eat more of it, okay?

"That's all?" Anakin laughed. "I thought there might be some cultural significance to it or something."

You could sort of argue that there was, though, couldn't you? Because it was traditional.

"It's only cultural if culture is synonymous with 'cheap and easy' wherever you're from," Warren replied, still smirking a little. "Mostly, it's just that we're all too lazy to put together something different each Frat meeting or whatever."

See? Warren was teaching! Kind of!

It was more structured than "Here, go do this," which was about as much as Anakin had gotten in some other fields, so hey.

"Well, it makes sense. And now I know," he decided with a little nod. "So it's my turn to ask if there's anything you want to learn, I guess?"

Warren took a moment to seriously consider that question, tilting his head a little to the side as he thought.

"I'm really not picky about what I learn," he admitted. "I've got a long way to go with a lot of things, which is kind of why I'm here, you know? But if there's anything that you're really comfortable with that you wouldn't mind walking somebody else through, I'd be all for it."

He wasn't kidding when he said he had a lot to learn. His experience with the world was still kind of limited to his time on the island. With a definite skew in the direction of not getting himself killed, admittedly.

Sadly, Anakin was hardly qualified to teach anyone how to do normal everyday teenager things. Basically at all.

"Flying things, programming computers, building machines," he rattled off, then frowned. "Puzzles?"

Flying, Warren pretty much already had handled. Computers and machines wouldn't do him a heck of a lot of good after graduation, if he wound up in Kaeleer. So...

"What sort of puzzles?"

Warren actually enjoyed those, so if Anakin had anything that he hadn't seen before, he'd probably be thrilled.

"Any kind, really." Anakin ran a hand through his hair. "I've got some 3-D ones that are pretty astral. Or just using logic to solve practical problems. They're easy once you figure out the trick to them." ~~Not that his player ever has. Wah.~~

"I've never really seen a 3-D one before," Warren admitted, after a moment. "I used to do logic puzzles just to pass the time, so I think I'm already pretty set for those."

Logic wasn't really something that could be taught, anyhow.

Not really. So much for that idea, Anakin.

"If I show you one, do you think that counts as teaching?" he mused. What? It sounded like fun.

"I don't see how it would count any less than me explaining pizza does," Warren allowed. "I guess you'd be teaching me... what a 3D puzzle looks like."

That was totally legit, boys.

"I could give you one, even," Anakin offered, brightening.

Totally legit! Even if that fell outside the bounds of 'teaching' even if you squinted and . . . spun around in zero-gravity while squinting.

In a very squinty sort of way!

"It could be like homework," Warren agreed, his feathers fluffing a little behind him and a grin on his face. "Solve the 3D puzzle before next week."

It could be done! It was totally possible!

... Right?
