fandomhigh | Relationship Skills, Friday Period 3

Yennefer greeted the class with a brisk, "Today we're going to talk about peer pressure," and that was as far as she got before she had to consult her notes. "Which is...pressure from your...peers." A very helpful explanation, to be sure.

"Ah yes, the dangers of... peer pressure," Jaskier added, also a bit lost on that one. Was it because they were the popular kids or too headstrong to follow a herd? A true mystery! "Which can destroy a relationship. We think. I never met any of the other Witchers to confirm."

"Nor did I," Yennefer admitted somewhat reluctantly. Did Geralt think his family was too cool to introduce them to? Was that it? "Peer pressure is when your...peers...which apparently means your little friends, not the nobility, in this context...pressure you to do something you don't want to do because..." again she had to consult her notes. "'Everyone else is doing it,' or, 'All the cool kids are doing it.' Good grief, are those reasons? Don't fall for peer pressure. It's clearly very stupid."

"So, perhaps avoid that," Jaskier suggested. Like the idiot who went out into the world and latched onto a tragic hero who smelled like onions and brute forced his way to fame.

"Break up into pairs," Yennefer suggested, "and one of you can attempt to convince the other one to do something, and the other one can practice saying, 'No,' over and over. And perhaps the first person can meditate on taking 'no' for an answer the first time, just a thought." She waved a hand dismissively. "Go on, then."

Bless this mess.

Nell was here and trying to focus on the lesson while her mind tried to figure out some plans for the end of the semester.

Break up into pairs and try to convince someone to drink or whatever, Yennefer doesn't know.

Nell had no idea what she should try to convince someone to do. Maybe someone would try to convince her instead.

Marc sat beside her, as was now their usual. "If I try to convince you of something that's actually called a felony."

Nell looked at him skeptically. "So, if you try to convince me the sky is green, that's a felony? Doesn't seem right."

"Things that are the normal peer pressure deal," Marc amended.

She smiled at him. "You need to understand what the normal type of 'peer pressure' would be back home. Read the Bible. Behave at services. Over your mothers and father. Besides I'm an adult here, aren't I?"

"Out of this entire class?" Marc asked. "Probably."

"I'll have you know I'm almost nineteen years old," she said with a smile.

"Still more mature than the teachers," Marc said. Mostly soft enough so they couldn't hear it. Mostly.

Nell almost snorted under her breath. "Marc..." she said chuckling. "You'un is so bad."

"I keep telling you not to spend time with me," Marc said. Then, reminded, he added, "Sunday's fine, by the way. No skin off my nose."

"No, I'm afraid I'm just bad straight through now," Nell said with a straight face. "And I must say I rather enjoy it."

"Sunday?" she said curiously and then remembered. "Oh, right, yes. Well, if you're sure."

She might be a bit distracted today.

You've met Steven and Marc, Nell. Proper segues were for other people.

Still, even Marc noticed Nell was off. "Everything okay?"

Nell was normally more on top of things, but she was a bit distracted today.

"Hmm? Yes. Fine. Just thinking about logistics."

Belle could be convincing when she needed to be. She was also quite good at saying no.

They're here.
