It had been a long morning, and the attention span of the students and the teacher alike was waning. Jada was still reeling from the Touching the day before and her attention had not been as it should be. Looking out over the class of bright, youthful faces (some of which were not so youthful as others,) Jada finally sighed and set down the reed flute she had been working with. "I think," she said slowly, contemplating, "That we're going to cut this lesson a little short." She really shouldn't. But if she couldn't focus, then she couldn't focus! And what was anybody really going to say about it, anyway?
She sat up from her wooden chair and stretched her arms above her head. She'd caught a couple little things, and decided she was going to pick on a certain someone to help her clean up this afternoon. Indivara seemed a smart girl, a quick thinker. Were things different, she may have done well in the Harpercraft- she listened, and from what Jada had seen in her short time here, had a quick mind. A quick mouth too, and that was what she was going to be picked on for. "As you know, I will need a little help cleaning up today." She heard a couple groans (probably from her usual favorite targets) and said, "Indivara, would you mind staying back with me and helping me make sure this room is organized for the next group which needs to use it?"
Not waiting for an answer, the Harper started wiping off the slate that she had used to write several notes down from the class. What should she start planning for the next one? There was such a mixture of people, and she didn't want to bore them by (no pun intended) 'Harping' on the same thing all the time. And goodness knew what the other (half?) dozen Harpers were teaching. Another something that she should maybe make mention of... hmmm.
Edit: time and date adjustment; HL
