Culture Shock: Adjusting to Life on the Weird Side | Tuesday, Period 2
"Hello, class!" Cecil beamed at them all. "Now that we've covered a few of the immediate things, we thought we'd go back to some of the basics. Like...classes! You've all got classes, right? Otherwise you're really in the wrong place, because - well, this is a class. So, how are your classes? Like, were you home-schooled before and you have a small family, so you've never been in a group like this? Or are you more used to having normal classes like Geology, Marksmanship, and Modified Sumerian?"
"Oh, hey, I learned marksmanship too," Kanan mused. "I mean, I learned it from a Kalleran scoundrel who tried to sell me on more than one occasion, but... important life skills."
That was much easier to discuss than his education at the temple, which he wasn't going to touch on for the life of him, thanks.
"But there, that's another possibility," he added. "No formal classes at all, but practical lessons, possibly apprenticeships or internships, meant to give you hands-on experience instead of stuffing a book in your hands and telling you to read three chapters before the next lesson."
"Not that reading isn't important," Cecil said gravely. "It's just highly dangerous and best taught in a controlled environment."
Kanan side-eyed Cecil for a moment.
...
You do you, Cecil. You do you.
"Anyway," he said, shaking out of that moment and crossing his arms in front of his chest, "school here. Probably different from what you're used to back home. Let's talk about how, and what you're doing here to adjust to that change."

"You want to tell me what the problem you're seeing is, slim?"

Re: Class exercise
"Ooooh," Kanan said, after a moment. "This is a non-human thing."
He was gonna call you out on your human supremacy thing right there in front of the class, Kuzco. Right there in front of the class.
"I'm sure he put in a lot of effort to learn how to speak basic," he added. "It can be a next to impossible language to articulate for a lot of races with muzzles. Maybe give credit where it's due, huh?"
Re: Class exercise
"Huh?"
Re: Class exercise
"Well, can you speak dog?"
Re: Class exercise
Because of course he did.
Re: Class exercise
Because Ithorians had two. Kanan was ill-equipped, physically, for speaking Ithorese.
"So, what's the matter with a dog who can speak basic?"

Kronk.
Re: Class exercise
At this point, it was totally possible that Kanan was just taking the piss out of Kuzco. Who could be certain?
Re: Class exercise
...Kuzco's world was odd.
"Well...squirrels," Kuzco replied.
Re: Class exercise
"They have terrible penmanship," Kanan allowed, "but mostly I figured that was because they were drunk while they were writing their notes."
In fairness, Fandom was odd, too.
Re: Class exercise
Re: Class exercise
Kanan had a pet dog. He was definitely just taking the piss out of Kuzco, here. He had to amuse himself somehow.
