The dilemma of the high school wizard: tedious physics homework, or tedious physics wizardries?

Nita is sitting at a table, gazing undecided between her manual and her textbook.

Eventually, manual wins (lunch hours are for homework, right?). She pulls out a notebook and pen, and starts making notes in the Speech. Occasionally she refers to the manual, bringing up this diagram in 3-D or checking that conjugation.

"In some ways." Her smile turns wry. "The others in being that I'm considered one of the best teachers for it, for kits who may have the knack for it."

She takes a deep breath, and lets it out in a laugh. "But, something new, not common? Tends to be rare and valuable."

"Prolly not the best of them." Laini smiles wryly, shaking her head. "I don't really have the patience. At least Miroku and Stuart know the basics of things, so we're just going over specialities, really. And making more things up, with it being a new field at all." She chuckles.

"Stuart'd be a good teacher, in a few years time. Loads more patience than me, but his kind are usually good at that."

Laini grins at Nita. "What has four legs, two wings, and a historic penchant for riddles?"

"Really and truely." She nods. "He's rather good at things- Miroku may jump to answers faster, but Stuart's the one to get to the right answer." Wryly. "If and when they actually work together, they do pretty good, but Miroku tends to just roll over Stu."

"Eh- he's young yet, give him time- and experience in getting fed up with it so he stands up to it." Laini shakes her head, bemused.

"Miroku's a kitsune as well, though still young. Old enough to be a smart ass know it all, though." She makes a face. "If he ever learns to not trust in his genius to be right all the time without practicing and actually learning, he'll be good. As it is now..."

She rolls her eyes, cheerfully. "Unless something bites you in the ass when you're too busy being awesome and not watching what you're doing."

"Well, I'm still waiting for it to happen to Miroku." Laini shakes her head. "Has your sister dealt with it, yet?"

"Coming down off of the magical high?" She smiles wryly. "Time to figure out magic takes work, and isn't really... well."

Laini waves a hand in the air. "Magic?"
