Relationship Skills, Friday Period 3

[tellmehowstuffworks]

The classroom was set up with pillows instead of chairs or desks because the teachers preferred to be comfortable whilst bitching about certain people in their lives in order to teach the subject.

Also magic.

Also for the record, the teachers should never be allowed to do paperwork while alcohol was involved.

"Good morning," Yennefer said to the class, looking shockingly like someone who had the first clue what she was doing. It was a skill they taught at Aretuza. Also, was it still morning? She had no idea, and didn't care. "I am Yennefer of Vengerburg, and this is the bard Jaskier, and this is...Relationship Skills." After a beat, she added, rather quickly, "We are not in a relationship." The horror.

"Oh, goodness no," Jaskier said, making such a face. "But we do have quite a bit of experience with the worst relationship you could ask for. The same person, in fact. It's a thing, really."

"Yes, and what it's made us realize is that some people simply don't know how to be in relationships. Hence..." Yennefer gestured vaguely. "This workshop. So to start we'd like for everyone to introduce themselves and please tell us why you think you need better relationship skills." So they could judge you.

"I know someone else who needs to hear it," Marc said. "Today, in fact. Unlike some people I only ignore autonomy if it's going to get us killed."

Which was actually true, for the record.

Yennefer really did not know what to make of this. Marc thought he needed better relationship skills because someone else didn't respect his physical autonomy? Someone else in the workshop, presumably, which was...concerning.

"Someone in the workshop doesn't respect your physical autonomy?" she attempted to parse. "Do I need to turn them into a toad?" Or involve the police?

"Tempting, but no," Marc said. There were some punishments even he wouldn't self inflict if it meant getting back at Steven. Which given the list of punishments to date he'd either threatened (the aforementioned killing) or done (punching in the face) was possibly impressive. "Anyway I'm fine. He's not here at the moment and my relationship status is good, thanks."
