Office Hours 3: Office Hourser

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

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.

"Probably. He's majoring in Battlefield Medicine, so if all else fails, we can fall back on that to get him something."

Though it's obvious by Lightning's posture that doing that is her last resort. She'd prefer to get him something more...personal.

"That'd be lame," he said, without even noticing her posture. "He's a kid stepping into young-manhood. He needs something awesome."

What had Snow wanted at that age? Well, an awesome vehicle, of course...

At that, Lightning turns and gives Snow her trademark lineface, sighing faintly.

"And something that's not going to get him in trouble with the faculty. We all have to follow those rules, remember?"

And while awesome things may not break those rules, awesome vehicles certainly would.

"Of course, Sis! I'm not gonna get him in trouble!" He puts on a show of being mildly indignant, since he'd already said they should check the Garden Code and rules. He was being extra-super-responsible! Not just going out and buying the first thing he sees that looks great and damn the consequences, like he really wants to do...

"Just making sure."

His show of being indignant is ignored as she pushes away from the desk, turning to face him. She of course trusts him not to do something like that, but one can never be too careful. Especially when family is involved.

"I'll keep you informed of how things are going. Try to not give us away, alright?"

Said with the hint of a smirk and a note of warmth in her tone. Oh, she trusts him to not give it away, but still. She's learning to loosen up.

"Good thing you warned me, I was about to go find him and tell him all about it," Snow said. He appreciated that joke -- if joke was the term, which he kind of doubted, but the sentiment was there -- more than words could say. The only appropriate response is to joke back, because he can.

Another quiet testament to how much things has changed.

"He might not have believed you, you know. You have a habit of over reacting to things when they involve the rest of us." A pause, and she shakes her head.

"Hell, things in general. I'd be surprised if he took you for your word on that right away."

While that was truth, her tone was still light and held a teasing note along with that warmth. Things really had changed.

"As opposed to you," Snow said, crossing his arms. "You could tell that kid the sky is green, and he'd start thinking something was wrong with his eyes."
