Etiquette, Monday

[saddeserthermit]

When the students arrived in the classroom, they would find no teacher, because their teacher wasn't aware he had a class to teach, and he had in fact packed up and left for Tatooine some two days ago. For five minutes, this situation remained as it was: an ordinary classroom, no teacher, and no sign of that changing any time soon.

Then it changed.

There was a bright, piercing flash of light.

There was the sudden, loud smack of a playground's worth of sand hitting the floor.

There was a bearded Jedi, looking very surprised, accompanied by two strange animals, equally surprised.

"Ah," said Obi-Wan.

Rooh made a noise.

"Would anyone," Obi-Wan said slowly, "Tell me where I am and what we are doing here... if it isn't too much of a bother...?"

Face and Cosima seemed to have the explanation bit down, so Kathy just politely offered, "Is there anything we can do to help, sir? Would you like to take a few moments to get, uhh, situated?"

"That is very kind of you," said Obi-Wan, who was starting to wish he had planned this as a test. Oh well. "You are-- Kathy. Welcome back, I suppose."

Hey! Even if he hadn't planned it, there was nothing that said he couldn't grade it as such!

...Not that Kathy was going to say that out loud.

"Thank you," she said, with a quick bob of her head to show he'd gotten her name right. The 'I suppose' made his welcome come across as slightly less than gracious, but then, he had been somewhere sandy with camel-elephants. "Glad to be here?"

That wasn't supposed to have been a question.

"And I am glad to have you," Obi-Wan said, mustering some scraps of his dignity. "Unexpectedly, but still."
