Paul nodded. "Grand girl, I'm just grand." He held his arms on his hips and looked around at the assembled students. The rain hadn't given out, but Paul didn't seem to either notice or care. He indicated the brooms to the students and smiled.
"Now then, since yerselves showed up early, why don't we get started and everyone else can show up when they do they do," he said, grabbing his own broom. "Today, we're going to be learning about climbing and basic maneuvering. So I hope everyone practiced the basics we learned last time. All of ye grab rain robes while I'm on about it. No sense in getting completely soaked."
Paul stopped, pointing towards the robes and brooms for the students.
