World History in a Nutshell

The classroom is dimly lit and there's a projecter set up to a laptop.

"Good morning," says Daniel, beaming all around. "Today, we're going to be touching on Ancient Egypt. There's packets on your desks with information about mummies and health and --" His face clouded and he frowned slightly. "gods. You can look at all that in your leisure, but first, I'm going to talk to you a bit about my dig in Egypt this summer."

Daniel has a power point presentation and everything which would have been done had the mun not fallen asleep yesterday. It's mostly pictures of sand. And more sand. And yes, you guessed it, sand. Daniel's highly enthusiastic about it, however, as he babbles on quite happily for half the lecture.

"Okay, for the second half, I apologize to those of you who aren't used to computers and also to those who took Egyptian archaeology last year, as you'll have already played a couple of these games. There's a choice of three to play, so have fun and talk to me if you have any questions or need a hand."

"Thanks." Blair smiled. "My friend River had some issues the other night and I kinda got in the way."

"Is she okay?" It never occured to Lyra that River could be the one who caused the damage.

"I don't know if she's okay." Blair shook his head. "But physically she's okay, she did a lot more damage to us than we did to her."

"Well, not me we."

Lyra shook her head. "I can't see you causing damage to anyone, physical or otherwise." Lyra didn't want to press on the whole River subject, it seemed a bit raw.

"How are you managing?" She asked, pointing to the cast.

"I'm not sure if I should be flattered or insulted." Blair teased.

"I'm managing okay. I'm really careful with it right now because it hurts and I don't want to bump it into anything. I'm just very lucky it wasn't the other hand because I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't take notes."

"Flattered, of course." Lyra's brash voice softened. "After knowing so many people who were willing to hurt other people to get what they wanted, what they thought was right, it's nice to meet someone who isn't. Willing."

She was quiet for a beat, and then laughed. "I would have taken notes for you, all you'd have had to do was ask." She wasn't trying to convey some deeper emotion there; he was a nice person, a friend, of course she'd have helped.
