Office Hours

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Snow and... you?? (Anyone who drops by his so-called office hours!)
Location: The WTR classrooms.
Rating: PG?
Open/Closed/Finished: Open.
Summary: Snow is a good Instructor who makes himself available to the students if they need anything.



Once classes finished for the day and the students had entered the blocks of time set aside for tutoring and extracurricular activities, Snow moved back into the training classrooms to hold what he called 'office hours'. The classroom wasn't much of an office, of course, but he figured he'd do more good in it than behind a desk.

He'd let his own classes know that he'd be available, but he hadn't specified that it had to be martial-arts-related. He'd passed word to the other Instructors too, just so they knew he was here (and please don't book the classroom at the same time!).

Until someone showed up looking for him, though, he was content to pummel a punching bag. He had to keep in shape himself, right?

"You might say that now, but you are talking to someone who ditched a whole week's worth of classes," Espio pointed out, deciding not to mention the upcoming week - he still felt crap.

"And if it were someone else, I might worry that they were cutting just to be lazy," Snow said with a shrug. "If you were skipping off just for a laugh, I'll eat my coat."

"Good to hear you have faith in me, I guess," Espio said, leaning against the nearby wall. Snow kind of had a point - as much as Espio complained, he actually made a point of putting every ounce of effort into everything he did. He wasn't a genius, but he was a hard worker. "Well, your coat's not on the menu, I'll tell you that."

"You earned it. And I didn't think it would be." Snow grinned, looking over his shoulder at his own overgarment. "Probably for the best, since it's infused with antimatter. I hear that's a little rough on the teeth."

"I should say it is rough!" Espio responds, smirking a little at the mention of him 'earning' some faith. He doesn't comment on the coat being infused with antimatter, though. Sounds pretty standard fare to him - a lifetime living in a universe which thrives on random and barely anything surprises you anymore.

"So, no catching up, then. I'll see about getting some training in another way."

"Your style isn't so far off from mine that I couldn't help you out during office hours," Snow said, idly punching his palm as he looked up to the ceiling thoughtfully. "Bulla might not be a bad person for you to practice with either. Anyway, whatever you choose to do, the time won't be marked against you, but if there's anything I can do to help out, let me know, okay?"

Espio nodded his agreement. "When I feel like it," he said, "I'll ask one of you. Right now, probably not. But thanks for not sticking your nose in - everyone's been bugging me recently."

"You should know my door's open if there's anything I can do," he said with an easy shrug. "But don't be too hard on people who mean well, even if they do screw up a little. Better they care too much than not at all."

"When I say I want to be alone, I mean I want to be alone," Espio insisted, despite the fact he didn't particularly want to be as alone as he said. Accepting hugs was not beyond him at this point. "But trust me, you wouldn't be able to do anything. 'cept maybe let me know if you see a black and red hedgehog."

"I can listen," Snow said matter-of-factly. "And I can take a hit if you need to punch something. And I can try to give advice, though if you ask Lightning she'll tell you I'm too stupid to be worth listening to." Of course, the way he grinned, he clearly didn't believe she meant it. "And if I see a red-and-black hedgehog, I'll let you know."
