Thread: Getting to know you~
WHO: Thierry Gravois & James Weatherby XIV
WHEN: April 20
WHERE: English Class
The assignment came as something of a surprise, but maybe not quite so much. The English assignment came with assigned partners to boot. Get to know someone you don't know already, write up a paper about them. Not a long paper, but it involved a whole interview process. Thierry's command of written English was improving quite a bit, but it didn't reflect verbally. He still missed the occasional "to be" verb at times or slipped into his Cajun French partway through when he couldn't think of the English words for it. In and out, weaving through both languages but sounding like he didn't really know either enough to speak it very well. So perhaps there was purpose in placing Thierry in a partnership with someone like James Weatherby XIV who was eloquent and loquacious. Getting people into partnerships took all of ten minutes and soon students were arranging their desks to sit with each other. Thierry made his way over to where James sat and found a chair to sit in. His posture was slouched but relaxed, obviously more for comfort and not giving off any sort of feeling that he might be nervous. He wasn't. Thierry was often very at ease in any situation he was in, and only sometimes let it show he felt out of his element or frustrated. Thierry wore his usual attire of used clothing that fit him decently, but were obviously worn by someone slightly different in shape. "So, ami," Thierry said with a lazy smile and ran his fingers through his shaggy hair, "How we want to do 'dis? Maybe you go first and I go second? Or whatever you 'tink is best, I not too picky about 'dis sort of 'ting." |
