No words related to her greeting nor question came to mind as his body tensed up. PERSONAL BUBBLE EXPLODED. EXPLOOOOOOOOODED! "What....was that for?"

"If everyone could please setting down IN your seats as best as possible we will begin. Not to worry, your chairs are not broken and this was done to them intentionally," he announced after clapping his hands together twice to get everyone's attention over their private conversations. No floor sitting. Desks were there to be used. Not a decoration. "Good evening and welcome back to Astronomy. Just another reminder to never, and I mean NEVER, get this noble subject confused with Astrology." Especially now that that woman was handing out rubbish horoscopes left and right. Sweet solstice. "We will be staying close to home this lesson as we explore the cosmos as we attempt to understand the role and function that the Earth serves in the cosmic machine that is the universe. I would like to start off today's lesson with a rather broad question and one that you all should have no trouble in answering."

No pressure, right?

"Please raise your hand and tell me what is your favorite season and why?"

OOC: This lesson has officially started! Please do not post your character arriving now or else risk loss of house points for your house or some other punishment that Professor Flamsteed feels is appropriate. If you are joining us now, please just pretend as though your character has been here all along!

Class will resume approximately 18 hours from the time of this post.

Pout. Flamsteed wasn't the best hugger. He didn't even return it. Only asked why she hugged him. Sigh.

"Because I like hugs and I felt like it," Ana told him with a shrug, trying her best to still sound respectful, even if her words alone may have seemed a tad disrespectful. Also, he looked like he could use a few more hugs but she wasn't going to tell him that.

Wait. The seats and desks were deliberately like this? Why would someone d that??? Sitting like this was difficult. Although it could be worse and they could have to sit on the floor. Which would suck. And class was starting now. With a really easy question too.

Ana raised her hand before giving her answer to the question. "I've always liked Winter. On the most simplistic level because it reminds me of home and my childhood. Whenever Winter comes I can't help but recall memories of drinking Sbiten at my babushkas' home. It is also a time of peace and merry what with Christmas, New Years Holiday, the Theophany of the Lord etcetera," Ana explained, listing some of the holidays she'd celebrated ever since she was a tiny child. "There's also beauty to be found in the ice and snow and I find hope, since no matter how cold and bleak things can sometimes appear in Winter there is the knowledge that following death everything will be reborn come the Spring." Was that a good answer? Even if it wasn't exactly what was expected it was what Ana felt about Winter.

Putting her hand down Ana simply listened as her peers gave their answers to the question. She didn't think that there was any need to start recording answers at this stage.
