Office Hours 3: Office Hourser

Character(s): Snow and whoever else shows up.

Location: Second floor, the training classrooms

Rating: PG

Open/Closed/Finished: Open

Summary: Once again, Snow is holding office hours!

Didn't matter if you were in his classes or not, really. Snow had claimed a classroom during free hours in the evening, and casually put around word that he was free to talk about any concerns, questions, problems, or general comments the students might have. His class, any class, whatever.

Of course, fellow SeeDs and Instructors could drop by too.

Unusually, this time around, Snow's actually at a desk, writing something. The world might possibly be coming to an end.

"I know. I don't think I'll struggle. Except maybe with Rock Climbing. But I only really took that class as something active to do. Next time... I won't enrol for a physical class last thing on a friday though."

That was his one mistake. His focus often wandered and he was very tired. Not that it stopped him. He'd done battle after battle whilst on a few hours sleep whilst on the run. "I can't wait to progress onto my other classes. I've got a lot less to take this time around. I was just trying to get the worst of it over and done with." He laughed.

"I know not to do again!"

"You're gonna start getting into the more advanced paramagic pretty soon, aren't you? At least the casting part'll be a bit familiar."

He had been off Cocoon for a while, if he could laugh at being a l'cie so easily.

"Yeah. Using the paramagic is kind of weird. I kind of prefer to use the L'Cie stuff." He said shaking his head slightly. "I get to do anatomy next term too. Getting closer to my Battlefield Medicine major." He finished smiling.

"So... what paperwork are you doing?" He asked, leaning over to catch a peek.

"We're getting up to the end of the quarter, you know. That means I have to get reports ready on who's doing good and who needs more work on all that." Snow waved at Hope in a vague shooing motion. Don't peek on your fellow students!

"You gonna put in an internship at the Infirmary at all? Might be good to get some practice on first aid that's not magic, para- or otherwise."

"I can't do the internship till I've done Anatomy. I plan on doing the internship in my third quarter." Hope was shooed. He moved back to his former perch and swung his legs gently.

"So... uhm." Hope paused a moment. How... to bring this up. "I... Did I tell you guys it's my birthday soon?" Hope shuffled. He didn't want to impose a celebration on them, he considered just having the family together for a meal, or perhaps just Snow and Lightning going on a Trip somewhere with Hope, but... it was his first birthday since the brand. He wanted to do something.

"It's next saturday."

"I meant eventually," Snow said. "Sounds like you got the plan, though."

Snow normally wasn't a great liar... but in the service of giving Hope a good surprise, even he could come off casual and natural. "Light mentioned that, actually. We were thinking that we ought to take you out to dinner somewhere in the city, while we have the chance. Sound good?"

Perfect cover to get him maneuvered into position. Snow mentally congratulated himself.

"That sounds awesome." He said with a big smile. He's glad they've taken up the line of birthday planners without having to ask, which was nice. He threw his water bottle up in the air and caught it. Looking up at the ceiling.

"Hows teaching going?" he asked, swinging his legs.

Oh, you had no idea, Hope, and it's taking all Snow's effort to hide his gloating.

"Great!" he said. "I never would've thought I could do it, but to be honest, I'm loving it. I even think I'm doing a kind of good job sometimes."

"Well I think you'd be a good teacher. I mean, teaching is kind of like leading isn't it?" Hope commented, looking up at him.

"It's like you have a whole new group of people to lead. You just lead them a little slower and less... into battle." Hope said with a smile. Thinking about the many many times Snow had been hit by things in place of him.

"I might even take your class. Not that I'd be any good at martial arts I think." Though saying that, Since being here Hope had started to pick up a little muscle definition, what with the training classes and the rock climbing.

"Charge in, minds blazing," he quipped, grinning. "Never really thought about it like that. I guess it does kind of remind me of the good old days. Though I lead my students into plenty of mock-fights, or else how would they learn?" Snow punched his palm, a little harder than normal just to make a satisfying noise.

"Who're you kidding, Hope? You'd do fine. Now would actually be a really good time for you to start, if you ask me."
