Diplomacy, Tuesday, September 2, 2025 [2nd period]
Anakin was wearing a fabulous gray hat while trying his best to pretend that he wasn't. "Hello, everyone."
Ahsoka was not wearing a hat, instead she had a garland of flowers draped around one montral. "Welcome to diplomacy, a subject we are both highly familiar with." Because that was something people needed to worry about when the moose was involved.
"We are also very good at it," Anakin added, which was a more debatable statement. "And because it's the first part of the semester, we're going to go with the more obvious first class assignment: small talk. Meet everyone in this class-it's not difficult--and come away with their name and something they think is interesting about them." He shrugged. "You don't have to agree that it's interesting, but you can't show that on your face or in your mannerisms. While you're learning this about others, you must also impart your name and something incredibly uninteresting to the other people. Faking being enthusiastic is also an important part of diplomacy."
"You will be quizzed on this next class," Ahsoka added, because it was the start of the semester and they got one warning. "Because another part of diplomacy is that you don't have to care about those little details, but you do need to remember them."
Anakin nodded. "Ahsoka and I will also be participating," he said. And no one could even curse about that today!
And it could have been worse, they could have had class tomorrow led by two Padawans.

"What brings you to diplomacy class?" Flint asked.

"Ah, Mr. Logan," Lydia said. "I have worried about him since he disappeared from our club, but he seemed a most capable sort of man. Have you met Miss Logan?" Lydia asked, gesturing toward Billie. "I must confess I did not think to ask if there was any relation."

"Ah," he said like a true aficionado would.
Re: Mingle!
"Yes, well," Lydia said, and tried to think like Flint. "I imagine there are new books coming out for the season as well?"
