Polar Opposites, Tuesday
"Hello everyone!"
There was an Alistair at the front of the class, but no Morrigan.
"Morrigan's not here today. I'm sure you're all really upset." Funny: Alistair himself sounded like the sun was shining down on him right now. "But I suppose we must persevere and continue on without her. And I got to thinking: what can we do that we wouldn't be able to do if Morrigan was around?"
He feigned thinking about it.
"Mmmm... having fun, for one. She's not terribly good at that kind of thing - she's more a fan of making terribly dour faces and spewing things about how much she hates everyone."
He clapped his hands. "So, here's what I was thinking... It's a bit cloudy outside, but it's still fairly warm, so how about we head outside to the lawn and tell some jokes. It's good for mending fences and bridging those huge gaps between opposites and all that." Yes, that's what he was going with.
He sobered a little. "I grew up in the Chantry, as you all know," he added. "They weren't much for fun. In fact, their dour faces were almost worse than Morrigan's. You had to resort to making a real racket just to get some response out of them. No one there who knew a thing about jokes or having fun... which is really just what I want you all to do. So if you don't have jokes, tell a story about something good that happened to you. You know. Share a bit."
With that, he guided the students out of the class.
