Tao of a Silly Old Bear, Monday, Period Two
For a guy teaching a class about Tao, Kanan looked maybe more than a little harried this morning. Of course, he was soaked up past his knees and his copy of the book he was teaching from didn't seem to be faring any better.
"So, I went to bed Friday night, woke up to squirrels telling me I'm late for my Monday radio shift, and nearly had to swim to work today," he drawled. "Apologies if this isn't the most put-together of classes. I'd had a plan for this one, it had involved the park, but the park is currently underwater, so we're going to just sit here on the school lawn and... contemplate the water or..."
He looked out at the town, flooded as it was.
"... Or something."
Sigh.
"This week's lesson," he added, "is a simple one, at least. It's about the value of learning, of putting one's faith entirely in study, versus learning from life experience." He shrugged. "Basically, don't put all of your faith in what you've been taught. Having faith in what you've learned for yourself is important, too."
A pause.
"Here is where I'd have some activity about 'Twosday,' spelled with a two, or the letter A, but my book is too soggy to open for reference," sigh, "so let's..." He waved a hand vaguely toward the water. "Talk about this. Talk about how research from books might help a non-aquatic person to adapt to a largely amphibious lifestyle, versus lessons that you might have learned for yourself this morning since waking up to it." He paused, and then added, "And if anybody has any suggestions for taking my dog for a walk while the island's flooded like this, I'm all ears."
Priorities.

"I can't exactly drive a bus with that water out there anyhow," Kanan pointed out. "I don't think staying in from the water will make a difference there."
Re: Discuss!
"You can't figure out a way to drive a bus through the water?????????????????"
Man, Kanan, she was honestly let down by you.
Re: Discuss!
"Oh, I can definitely drive it into the water," Kanan replied. "It's the 'not flooding the engine' part I don't have down yet. Internal combustion systems are so..." He waved a hand around. "I'd do better with a hoverbus."
Just not a Smoothride.

"... Pretty sure Skywalker would kill me," Kanan noted. "It isn't my bus."
Re: Discuss!
This was going to end with Nina sending petulant texts to Anakin at this rate.
Re: Discuss!
"Pretty easily, I'd guess," Kanan offered. "The man is unstoppable with a lightsaber."
Oh, he had no idea.
Re: Discuss!
Re: Discuss!
Kanan squinted juuuuust the tiniest bit.
She could have put it the other way and he wouldn't have denied it, but this way mostly just made his ego itchy.
"Well, you'll have to take that one up with the Dean, won't you?"
Re: Discuss!
Nina, you were the worst. Don't even deny it.
Re: Discuss!
"Oooh, no," Kanan laughed, holding up his hands. "This is extracurricular work, if you choose to accept it. Otherwise, no underwater bus. I don't make the rules, here."
Re: Discuss!
Was that Nina digging out her phone in class? That was totally Nina digging out her phone in class to shoot of a text.
She was probably not supposed to have the Dean's phone number but, er, like that had ever stopped her.
"There!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nina declared, once that text had been sent off. "We'll see what he says!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Re: Discuss!
"... I have immediate regrets."
What. What had he done.
Re: Discuss!
Poor, poor man.
"I hope he replies soon," Nina said happily.
