How to Make Friends & Influence People | 4th Period | Monday
It was neither Saturday nor Tuesday, so Carter was pleased to see that both him and Fjord were present today. Turning from where he was busy setting out a selection of iced shortbread cookies, Carter smiled at the class. “How was your vacation?”
Not the most complex start to a class but it was the first day back after holidays. The students probably didn’t mind.
"Eventful? Unexpected? Glad to be back?" Fjord was actually in pretty good spirits, today. Athens had been good for him, just familiar enough to make him feel not entirely out of place, just different enough to feel like a vacation. "Was there anything in particular you enjoyed about it? Anything you didn't care for?"
“What did you see and do? Did you buy anything for yourself that you feel like sharing?” Carter laughed. “There’s a great number of questions we could ask about how your vacations went—are there any that you would ask us?”
Yes, today was a talk about vacation day. Definitely.
"Part of the whole 'friends and influence,'" Fjord was never leaving off the 'influence' part, sorry Carter, "thing is being open to conversation, understanding that there's some give and take, and since I'm certain the break brought something a little different for each of you, this is as good a topic as any." He spread his hands and smiled crookedly. "So, let's half a conversation. Tell us about your break."
[Plz to be waiting for the OCD is up, up, and away!]

"I had an exceptionally grand time on this semester's holiday to Greece!" he announced, smile bright, eyes shining, perhaps with something not so common for him, a particular glint that might suggest he was actually holding something quite magnificent back from his narrative. "It is good to be back, as there is something to be said to have one's self occupied with important things, but the respite and the relaxation that came with our visit to those fair lands was quite invigorating and energizing! Just the thing, I believe, after the weekend we had before we left! I particularly enjoyed the island of Zakynthos, with its spectacular waters and fascinating network of seaside caves."
Yes, this was definitely a Zora holding something back, and poorly, too, because there was no way anyone's face should light up that much about some caves. Yet there they were.
"I must admit I felt a bit more out of place in Athens," and now he was being incredibly generous with regards to the latter part of the trip, "though the city was not without its own particular charms, and I am very glad to have had such a unique experience. I will never cease to be amazed and grateful that being a mere attendant to this school grants me the opportunity for so many rich experiences that I might not otherwise have ever dreamed of having!"

As usual she didn't come across as very enthusiastic, but she had appreciated the vacation.

Greece had been lovely, really.
But he never wanted to room with Amaya ever again.
Re: Talk to the Teachers!
Greece had been good for him. Athens, especially. It had been nice to feel like he had a handle on his current situation, for a change of pace.
And fighting bandits had been great.
