fandomhigh | Battle Tactics and Strategy; Thursday, Fourth Period [03/28].

Ignis had already been planning on canceling class today, pretty much from the moment he realized what was actually going on this week, more from the increasing catalogue of his own idiosyncrasies than anything else. Dropping pastries and caring not a whit about them? Distraction to the point of bumping into things he should know to stay clear of? Not even a whisper of a nagging internal monologue about shirking menial tasks to laze about? (Well, it could hardly be called lazing about, anyway). And it didn't take much to confirm that there were other factors at play here, and so his plan for his class was pretty much set from the beginning.

This was made even more firm by the appearance of a certain pie. He had considered, in defiance, of going against his original plan and holding class after all, but a different strategy was playing in his head, and, well, it would appear that at least one of his students was getting a very private lesson in the matter.

The others would certainly have to fend for themselves, and appropriate messages were sent out and set up on classroom doors so that those who were considering still making the attempt would be caught up to speed:

An important aspect of strategy is knowing which battles are worth fighting and which are not.
I quite suspect we all have engagements far worthier of our time and attention this week.
Enjoy the free period; use it wisely.

He knew he certainly would.
