fandomhigh | Guiding the Powerful Yet Incompetent, Tuesday, Second Period

Yennefer was muttering to herself and jabbing at the Danger Shop remote when the students entered said Danger Shop for today's class. When she saw them, she said, "Ah! Hello! I am Yennefer of Vengerburg, and this is 'Guiding the Powerful Yet Incompetent,' and if you're wondering about my qualifications, I was an advisor to the king of Aedirn for...far longer than I should have been, really. For at least the beginning of the semester, we will be guiding...this." She tentatively pushed a button on the Danger Shop remote, and a person shimmered into existence. He was red-haired, corpulent, and holding a turkey leg. Whew. Success.

"No disrespect to whoever this is, because I'm sure that in life he was a perfectly fine ruler who only went through the usual number of wives," Yennefer said, because she did not, in fact, recognize Henry VIII, "but I asked the program to give me something between 'standard useless medieval king' and 'that orange thing someone put in charge of America' and this is what it spat out. But enough of that." She pushed another button, and Henry disappeared.

"Today I would like to get to know you." Well, not really, but she was led to believe it was traditional. "Please tell me your name, where you're from, what made you interested in my class, and anything else you think I really ought to know about you."

"Uh, Julius Hea--uh, Quetz," Julius said, totally successfully saving that slip of the tongue there. "I'm guessing my brother Bob signed me up for classes? Because I was a lizard until yesterday."

...And he wasn't going to say his mother was incompetent - she was too shrewd and canny for that - but she was also unpredictable and terrifying and there was usually some overlap.

Thanks Bob.

"A lizard," Yennefer repeated. Well, at her school people had been turned into eels. Although then they usually stayed that way... "I am relieved you have regained your form and were able to join us."

"Uh, me too," Julius said, scratching the back of his head nervously. "I have a feeling this class will come in handy."

Why else would Bob have signed him up for it?
