Right, so there was no creeping horror outside. That was a good thing! Hell, if Kanan was the singing sort, he'd be singing the praises of this new and improved situation from the rooftops! Honest.

... This week might come and go without him even realizing what the strangeness was.

"So it's a safe one this week, folks," he shared, having sent the students directions to a particular spot on the beach. There was no way in hell he wasn't taking advantage of it being safe to do so, no. He'd brought bottled water and fruits and there appeared to be a net set up in the sand. "Which means today we're going to work on movement in difficult terrain. And hand-eye coordination."

Sure, Kanan.

"Grab a ball and a partner, stand on opposite sides of the net, and hit that thing back and forth. Don't let it touch the sand if you can help it. Don't fall if you can help it. And, because this is Fandom, if you have any abilities or tools at your disposal that might make this exercise easier for you, please feel free to give them a try. Just communicate what you're about to do to your partner if it's something potentially dangerous."

Yes, class, today was beach volleyball day: Powers on.

If asked, he'd stand by his story that this was absolutely his plan for any safe week lessons all along, yes.

Anyway, he was here if anybody needed him, and was actually looking pretty fine, today.

She did not need him, she needed no one! Okay, that was a lie, but shush.

But, like, Nina did figure she ought to at least explain that she existed to him.

Nina couldn't really talk in her current form, but she was going to bobble over to him--she was getting better at flying, but she still only had, like, a few hours practice tops here--to eye him.

And flick her tongue out at him.

Hi, Grumpy Bus Driver.

Considering his TA was currently a wren - and now he was making certain Sabine wasn't anywhere within snake-munching-range, Kanan supposed he really shouldn't be surprised by this.

He blinked at her. Squinted a little.

And then decided that whatever this week's weirdness was, it probably had something to do with animal transformations. If he wound up a cat by the end of the week, so help him...

"Morning, Nina."

Not even a question, nope.

Ppppppbhhhhtpb.

Could a snake look offended? Why yes, yes a snake could look offended.

He wasn't supposed to guess so easily!

"... Is your name offensive now? Must've missed that memo," Kanan mused.

Sorry, Nina. There was no pulling a fast one over on Kanan when it came to animal transformations. The dirty rotten cheater had the Force backing him up, there.

And, like, normally she appreciated a good, rotten cheat. But not from him!

Nina grumbled out a hiss at him, which was less annoyed than it could have been since, like, really everything was still pretty much under the happy haze of she could fly!!!!!!!!!!!

She did, however, look over at where they were supposed to be playing a game and pointedly shake her... well, she tried to shake her head.

It was more like 'shake her whole noodle body' though, since flying and all.

Which was an interesting look, really. Raising an eyebrow, Kanan held out an arm, in case she wanted to light somewhere.

The real estate on his shoulder was already occupied by Sabine.

"No," he said, "you don't have to play volleyball. People generally need hands for that one, anyway."

And, like, Nina would probably not mean to eat Sabine, and would feel really bad about it after, but... uh...

Probably best not to try sharing the shoulders.

She was going to settle on that arm though, with a hissy little thanks, as she folded her wings against her back.

And an inquisitive glance up at the bird.

"Nina, Sabine. Sabine, Nina. No eating one another."

That would definitely lead to detention.

That was Sabine?

No way! Sabine was, like, way cool and super destructive and well put together and--

Nina had to lean up to get a better look at this. Because, like, what.

Vette made sense as a bird! Vette was flighty and skittish and cute as a button and--

Sabine, what?

That was what happened when you had a name like Wren.

Kanan held his arm up slightly so that Nina could get her look. You know. Just casually.

"No eating," he reiterated. And then paused before adding, "You've got someone looking out for you after class, Nina?"

He didn't want to have to make space for a whole petting zoo of students if he could help it.

But if she didn't have someone looking after her, he would, wouldn't he?

Luckily for Kanan, that question pulled Nina's attention away from Sabine--who would look more appetizing, she was pretty sure, if she hadn't managed to eat breakfast already--and back on to him.

And, like, okay, Vette was sometimes flaky about pet care, but Nina was still pretty convinced that her bestie would take care of her. And, like, if not, Nina was pretty sure she could send Foomy on an Epic Quest to hunt down Prompto.

So she gave him a hissy little laugh and nodded in the direction of the dorms. She had people!

Which was amazing, really, and just gave her all the warm fuzzies. She had people who'd look after her! Amazing!

Yeah, if she didn't have someone looking after her, he absolutely would have.

But her reply seemed to mollify him, and he nodded faintly.

"Good," he replied. "These things are generally easier when there's someone with thumbs around to assist."

Nina coiled around his arm happily, unfurling her wings at him for a moment, before folding them up again.

She had wings, Grumpy Bus Driver! Wings!

Thumbs were great, but she'd cope with the loss of them for a little bit, just to have wings!

Kanan watched this display with a faint air of bemusement about him. Wings definitely seemed to be the theme of the day, huh?

"Doesn't seem like a half-bad trade, true," he allowed. "I generally just start to miss having my caf in the mornings. But I don't end up with wings."
