Avalon smirked at Professor Sandhu's sly correction to her greeting. It was evening indeed, although the first year was under the impression that 'good day' could be used as a salutation for any hour. "Yes, good evening indeed!" she replied with a light laugh. Avalon turned to Analiese, who was obviously a bit nervous about the skates. "I don't know how to skate, either. Don't feel bad," she said, hoping that commiserating together would ease her friend's worries.
And then the lesson had begun. Professor Sandhu was starting the lesson with a question about Astronomy - not skating. Thankfully, she knew a possible answer to the first question. After raising her hand, she said, "It's made up of tons of objects like planets, asteroids, and gases. And everything orbits around the sun." It was a relatively simple tidbit of information, but an important one nonetheless. And now that Avalon had offered her response, she had a faint idea of where this lesson might be heading. She figured that she might as well throw in another fun fact she had learned back in primary school. "It was also formed over four and half billion years ago!" In other words, a loooooong time ago.
