fandomhigh | Let's Play Some Sports!; Thursday, First Period [01/09].

"Hey, everyone," said Gladio, giving the class a nod once they gathered in the danger shop, which was set up like an outdoor sort of stadium, and taking a moment to roll his shoulders, stretch his arms, as if preparing for a long session of physical activity, even if he'd mostly just be there in the coaching position, "and welcome to Let's Play Some Sports. Where we're going to be...you guessed it...play some sports."

He grinned, because that sort of subtle comedy was the humor he really strived for.

"So today's class is going to focus on a sport that has a lot of little sports in it to give me an idea of your strengths and weakness and what you seem to enjoy or really not enjoy at all, and that's Track and Field. But before we get into that, let's get those introductions out of the way. Go ahead and tell me who you are, whether you wanted to be in this class or not," that, he said with a faint wry snort and a grin, "and what your favorite sport is, if you have one, and why. And if you don't have one, tell me why not, too. That'll help me decide what else we're going to explore in this class further down the line.

"So let's get warmed up and stretching while we do that," he said, now crossing one arm over his chest and pulling it close with the other, then switching arms, "so when we're finished, we can mostly get right into it."

Make sure to stretch and get ready for physical activity in between turns! But you heard the man, let's hear who you are, whether you wanted to be here, and what your favorite sport might be, if you've got one!

"I'm Nell. Ingram. And I definitely wanted to be here," Nell said with a smile. "I most like doing martial arts and fighting kinds of sports."

Eleanor gave the class a slightly uncertain smile and wave. "Hi," she said. "I'm Eleanor. I think the only reason I'm in this class is because the moose wanted to stick me all in Thursday classes?"

No, it didn't make sense to her, either, but just look at her schedule and tell her that it wasn't possible. Especially since it sounds like the moose had definitely done weirder and more targeted things like that to other before, too.

"Anyway, I'm not really that into sports, although I did a lot of running around the woods with my sister and cousin when I was little, if that counted. But sports weren't considered something girls did if they could help it at my last school. I really like swimming, though, and I'm pretty good at it. So I guess...yeah, anything that gets us in the water is something I'm going to enjoy most."

"Jonathan Sims." Jon nodded. "I rather hoped this would be less team sports and more just exercising. Which I can always use more of, even if I hate it."

Did that answer what his favorite sport was?

Gladio really couldn't help but grin at that answer.

"Well," he offered, "on the bright side, at least with only four people in class, that does limit it a little on the team sports. So there is that. But...well," he huffed a faint laugh and smirked a little, "guess we'll find out."

Jon grimaced. "I suppose we will. I...I probably wouldn't mind more fencing or something, if that counts as a sport," he allowed.

Gladio's next huff sounded a little sympathetic, but his grin looked pleased at that answer. "You know I'm going to be more than happy to include anything involving swords," he pointed out.

But of course he also had to add: "If that counts as a sword."

"It counts as a sword I can lift!" Jon protested. Look, Gladio, your sword was bigger than Jon!
