[Coby, setting down his communicator on the closest thing he has to a desk--a supply crate--returns to what he had been doing before he turned it on. In one hand he held a thin cloth, cleaning his glasses. He occasionally raised the glasses to his lips and gave a little breath to the surface before returning to cleaning them.]

Can anyone give me information as to which faculties have been recovered? I believe I would like to return to my...

[He paused, staring forward as if he had forgotten what he was going to say.

Or, how he was going to say it as delicately as possible.]

...Exercises. [He felt comfortable with that term, though it was fairly awkward.]

Comments

From what I've come to understand, actually almost everything.

You've maintained a remarkable composure, sir.

My thoughts aren't as heavy as everyone else's. I'm certainly more perplexed than anything, I think.

So, the Virtual Reality hall would be available. I suppose that's how I'll spend my afternoon.

DAN HOW HIGH DO YOU HAVE TO BE

[speakveryclearly]

Mmmhmm. I've checked, those are fixed.

If you're looking for an application for your energy, have you heard anything about the detention program? They can always use more guards.

8C I wish i was

[Coby shook his head and set down his glasses with a few beginnings of a frown coming through.]

No, I would rather not be involved in that sort of thing, miss.

[Her eyebrows go up - far from disrespectfully.]

I see. Has this refinement been your primary pursuit? [Of his body, that is. She's not sure how to politely ask What do you do here.]

[chore_boy]

My exercises? Partly. I've been playing the part of teacher to a few other transports, but not in large amounts.

[Coby found himself shrugging--putting on his glasses so he could see if there were any major smudges left, hidden from immediate sight.]

Admittedly, it's very difficult for me to engage in my primary pursuit in this place.

Really? Do you know Stephanie Brown by any chance? I've been training with her lately. Is there much of a physical educators' community?

[chore_boy]

Ah--no, I don't believe I've met someone by that name, nor do I recall there ever being a formal amalgamation of teachers.

I've only ever taken a few students. I'm not prepared to teach too many others yet.

[speakveryclearly]

I see. It makes sense not to stretch oneself too thin here, but I don't actually see that practice implemented very often.

[chore_boy]

It's necessary for many instructors, still fledgling.

Our attentions aren't quite up to par, yet.

[speakveryclearly]

You intend to work your way up to earn trust and justify increased responsibility?

[chore_boy]

Not with anyone other than myself, miss.
