"Hmmm, I suppose it does... or at least the environment contained within your shoes." Ethan agreed.

"That is true enough." Truebridge agreed.

Truebridge stared, "That... wasn't the answer I was looking for but I think I like yours better than mine."

"Umm, are you trying to socialize us more by making us uncomfortably expose our feet?" he suggested. Crazy, yes, but he had learned to expect anything from professors, especially new ones.
"
Are you uncomfortable?" Zan peered at the prefect curiously, "Good theory though."

"It is something to do with the nets, yes."

He thought and raised his hand, "Is it because they didn't have footwear in the part of history we are soon about to study... if we are going to study... history... that is."
"Hmmm... I don't know, its a bit hard to tell from the pictures whether they wear shoes or not. But speculation about that will be welcome."

"You will have to show me your technique." Professor Truebridge responded with a straight face.

What a horrible prospect.
"Brilliant. Another answer better than my own. But please don't permanently attach yourself to the desks in your efforts to become one with it."

It was a good effort for someone who was clueless.
"It does and it does." Truebridge answered.
"All of you are right actually, It's for practical reasons; keep the desks clean, don't slip, better grip, better balance and the like." He paused and added, "And to feel the world at your feet and become... one with the desks."
He pulled out his wand, Loretta and levitated a sack from under his desk.
"I want all of you to catch one of these each. Then take a seat and have a look at what you get."
Professor Truebridge opened the sack and a whole bunch of chocolate frogs bounded out, seemingly faster and more agile than the average chocolate frog. A Famous witch or Wizard card was attached to the bottom of each card.
"Only one frog each please! And stay on your desks and in your own personal space! No popping each other's personal space bubbles with your nets either!" Ethan grinned and watched the frogs scatter everywhere.
ooc: RP catching a frog then PM me when you have caught it and include the post which you caught it in. I will PM you with which card you get. It is random as to who gets what. Have fun!
