[Sometime in the night, Reiju returns to the hotel from outside. She pauses upon glimpsing Amelia, then approaches with a genial smile—as friendly as distant acquaintances can be, anyhow—giving the mug an amused glance as she does.]

Is this for that book club?

Good evening.

[The focus is admirable. Reiju knows she's interrupting, so she doesn't mind. It's a good opportunity for her own eyes to wander and take in the small details.]

You're a teacher. What do you teach?

[Reiju smiles politely at the eye contact before taking an adjacent seat. She can't speak for the education teens receive, but there's probably something similar.]

Those are critical skills to have. Books are one of the backbones of learning, aren't they?

[One's own life and values . . . if only there's understanding.

She glances down at the binder. Amelia is certainly passionate. How many students does she teach? How many futures will she have a hand in molding?

What's stopping you?

[When she puts it that way, it sounds like an exhausting job.]

I see. You must be quite busy between these classes and now the book club. Will you have time to relax and enjoy your stay at this hotel?

[Reiju leans forward for a better look. It'd be rude not to, and she is curious to know what the itinerary of a teacher looks like.]

It does look that way. Is that a good thing?

[Is Amelia a busybody, or are these gaps a welcome respite?]

[She's so valid.]

You don't seem to mind it.

[Well, Reiju has no concrete proof, but Amelia seems willing to take on more. Everything's been about adding, not retracting. It says a lot about the type of person Amelia is.]
venomnom: (002)

[personal profile] venomnom 2023-10-28 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes.

She thinks she can see the appeal. Maybe.
]

I'm sure the concierge would be glad to hear it.

[It's much noisier in the day, and the help are less occupied in the evening. In those respects, Reiju can understand from where Amelia is coming.]

It's certainly convenient to have an attendant or two at all hours. Are teachers expected to shoulder their tasks alone?

[personal profile] venomnom 2023-10-30 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Passionate. Yes, Amelia is a very passionate person. It seems like everyone in her type of profession is.]

Then what happens to the students who fall behind?
venomnom: (003)

[personal profile] venomnom 2023-10-31 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[That sounds like a lot of work for the stragglers. It's an almost alien concept . . . but not a terrible one.]

That's a holistic way to look at it. Your students are lucky.

[She believes it, if only because she lacks a proper frame of reference on which to base her standards. Amelia's is also the expert opinion between the two of them.]

Would they rather be outside, swinging swords?

[Guns over swords? They're both deadly. What an arbitrary decision.]

I don't suppose they'd go to the shooting range.
