Community Center Class: Modern Earth Entertainment, Monday evening

"Hi." Peter looked around to see any new faces. "If you haven't been here before, I'm Peter Octavian, and this is a class where we watch modern Earth entertainment as a way of catching up with what the locals are talking about and how the culture might work. Not always by strict example. Anyway, this week I thought we'd watch something about families. Instead of a movie, it'll be the first few episodes of a show that was really popular a few decades back. I don't remember seeing it myself, so this'll be an experience for all of us."

He pushed play.

"Oh, and there's drinks, chips, and popcorn - please help yourselves!"

Oooh, Amaya got to dig out of the private bowl. She grinned, nodding her thanks as she went in for a handful. This was good, too, because if she was talking to one person, it might make it a bit more challenging for some other person to try talking to her, too, if said other person happened to show up.

"Quiet," she answered with a snort, "and I'll take it. How about yours? Don't imagine you had any visitors?"

That's what happened when you were a glove-wearing person and a friend.

"No visitors." Seivarden looked wistful for a brief moment, but then smiled, a little forced. "I suppose I should be glad that my aunt her client didn't show up," she joked, then took a sip from her drink.

Amaya was sure it would have been a good joke if she knew anything about Seivarden's aunt and her client, but, hey, at least she'd been watching enough Radchaai entertainments these days to know what a client was, even with all the fast-forwarding.

"Thank goodness for small favors, then, right?" she offered. "Anything exciting in store for the rest of your week?"

"Not that I know of," Seivarden said. "You? Finished that sword yet?"

That was last week, Seivarden.

And she'd been practically finished with it back then, too.

"Finished, polished, and practically sold already," she said with a laugh. "Not quite sure what I'll work on this week, I haven't got any pressing projects. Brought a few things to work on in my office up at the school while waiting for any of my students' guests, but I didn't get many, so even those've been pretty well worked by now. So who knows? Maybe tonight's film will provide a spark of something. It's always exciting when they do."
