What do you all think is the hardest animal to whittle?

My sister has informed me that I owe her something impressive by Christmas.

[Pre-Healer Studies]

I have good news. Healer Greatheart has agreed to let us get some firsthand experience at certain events going forward. This will include assisting and shadowing her, triage, and documentation. This isn't part of the grade, but it will be a valuable experience and I'm working on a rotation now.

Winter, you're up if you'd like to join me on the sidelines for the Quodpot match this weekend.

If you have questions, let me know.

centipede for sure

Because of the legs?

Are feathers difficult? Maybe some sort of detailed bird...

[Pre-Healer Studies]

Oh, the real life experience will be lovely!

~~It should mostly be minor things, right?~~

You were helping out at the lodge on the ski trip when everyone was ill, weren't you? You're so good at being hands-on.

They can be. Some feathers are intricate.

Nina might identify with a peacock.

[Pre-Healer Studies]

I think so too; some subjects shouldn’t be limited to the classroom.

That’s generous. I was mostly fetching water and blankets.

I imagine a peacock would be very complicated and very impressive.

Do you know what her Patronus is?

[Pre-Healer Studies]

Yes, it is a very practical class and it seems a shame to not do as much as we can with our own two hands. ~~Except~~ I'm ready for any assignments you give me!

Don't be modest! I was hiding, so you did much better than me at least.

Especially if it was posed correctly.

I don't, actually. I have some guesses, but she doesn't take DADA or anything, so it will probably stay a mystery.

[Pre-Healer Studies]

If things go well, hopefully she'll let us get more involved. [...] Not that I want our classmates to get injured or ill or anything. But it's sort of inevitable.

Scheduling will be a bit more difficult for those of you involved in cheer and broomsports, but I'll make sure you get some opportunities.

Modesty is generally a good quality, in my experience.

platypus
fur
and beak
and feets

Webbed feet, even. It’s like they’re trying to be a challenge.

exactly
just
a beautiful mismash
of features

Just a small, less flashy chimera.

demiguise that is currently invisible

Are you sure that’s not the easiest?

hidebehinds

From what I've read, they look like tall, skinny bears with silver fur. That's not so hard.

psh i don't believe that's what they really look like

What do they look like, then?

idk and tbh that's one creature that i really don't want to know what it looks like. i prefer my intestines inside of my body

That is the ideal place for them.

i need them for eating all of the sweets

Typically, I'd feel obligated to warn you about that. But 'tis the season.

nothing can keep me from the holiday spread

Health be damned. At least until January 3rd or so.

i do year-round hiking so i can eat like a pig year-round

Your metabolism must be better than mine.

maybe like a dragon but you do all the scales

A possibility. You're an animal aficionado, aren't you? Which dragons have the most complex scale pattern?

if you carve every scale I'd think any would do honestly

Oh. Me?

[...] ~~Are you s~~ ~~I don't know if I'm~~ ~~Isn't there s~~ Yes. That's me! The master of patching people up. Happy to help.

Perfect. Thank you, Winter. None of us are masters yet, but we're getting there.

Meet me a half-hour before the match so we can get prepared and go over everything?

Absolutely. Half hour before. Do I need to bring anything? Or is just my wand sufficient? [...] Maybe a poncho.

Your wand and a notebook, probably. [...] I don't think a poncho is necessary, but maybe don't wear your favorite robes or anything. Just in case.

Edited (Also re:the delay, don't worry at all! Life is a thing that happens. <3) 2019-12-21 03:59 (UTC)

Got it. I'm sure we can manage this. Probably just a few scrapes and bruises to tend to. And I'll wear the shawls I wear foraging, not the nice ones.

[...] Thank you for the opportunity, Nico!
