Hello all.

Professor Xavier has been kind enough to give me a teaching position here at the Institute. I'll be taking over Mr Dayspring's Arabic class next term, as well as some other duties that he has asked me to perform. I'll be working closely with Mr Dayspring in the meantime to get up to speed on what he has already covered. We'll be formulating next term's lesson plan together.

I know that my last stay here was ... counterproductive. All I can promise is that I will not allow myself to be goaded like that again. Not for any reason.

I've been given my old room back, if anyone has any questions or would like to wander by and say hello.

Salaam,
Haroun

Haroun-

Wow! I had just been discussing extra training with the Professor, Mr. Summers, Doctor MacTaggart, and Mr. Dayspring. It seems no matter how hard I try, I can't quite seem to manage the type of control you have. I was just asking the Professor if it would be possible to get in touch with you, since he told me you were back in the States. I'm tickled that you're actually going to be back at the mansion.

Well well now.

Still having trouble with those nasty little turns?

We can work on that. We'll have you cornering properly yet, no matter _how_ many holes you dig in the ground.

With your head.

Salaam,
Haroun

Yeah, I went face-first into a mountain a couple days ago.

Thank God for my blast field.

A _mountain_?

Sounds like it's Remedial Flying 101 for you!

You boys dig holes in my lawn with your heads and you'll both be filling them back up with shovels. Use the lake for that crap.

Well then, Samuel...

it looks like the gauntlet has been thrown.

Better learn how to corner, or you'll be getting quite familiar with Mr Marko's shovel collection.

Did you miss the s at the end of 'you boys' in that statement? Both of you. I get holes, I'm holding you both responsible, because it ain't like I can tell either your light-your-ass-on-fire asses apart when you're plowing headlong into -my lawn.-

Yessir. I'll be working on getting landings under control just as quick as I can.

Will Arabic be offered for credit next semester, or will it still be a non-credited additional elective?

I ask because although I T-A French, I cannot take another language credit for that, and I would much rather take a language I am not already fluent in, and in addition Latin is far less useful than Arabic.

If I have anything to say about it...

it will be a full-credit course.

And don't discredit Latin. I may take it, if someone here will teach it.

Salaam,
Haroun

I am not discrediting Latin, save that I already know it as fluently as I find useful for my purposes.

Are you keeping Doug as your T-A?
From: [identity profile] x-cypher.livejournal.com
I'm certainly fine with staying on as your TA if you'll have me.

I am currently running impromptu study sessions while Nathan recovers from his injuries, so if you'd like to get an early start shaping the direction of the course, feel free to come find me.

Welcome back, Haroun. It's good to see you.

It is good to be back.

If I remember correctly, I once promised you a moonlight flight.

If you can find some what to protect your skin, the offer's still open.

And can I bribe you for a meal sometime? Name your price.

Salaam,
Haroun

Bribes? Neat. We'll have to talk about that. I'd be happy to make you something.

I actually have an idea about the protection issue. Depends on if my control has come as far as I think it has.

Hey, I think I remember you. Kind of.

I'm Illyana. Used to be the hyperactive blonde seven-year-old, had an incident with an alternate hell dimension -- I'm sure someone will tell you the story if you ask them nicely, but anyway I'm fifteen now.

Arabic? They speak that in the East, right? Anything to do with Sumarian? That I'm passable at.

Well now.

That's certainly very ... odd.

I really needed to be more thoroughly briefed.

They speak Arabic all over the world, although it is primarily spoken in the Middle East and North Africa. Sumerian is a very old predecessor to Arabic, if memory serves.

Wait. Sumerian is a dead language. Are you another polyglot like Doug? Or is there something else I don't know here that is going to make my brain explode?

Salaam,
Haroun

No, God no, I'm just a plain old teleporter. Well, there's the magic, too, but really, I'm not so useful with that.

The Sumerian comes from having a very -- shall we say -- classical education during that little alternate dimension mishap. And mine is probably not very good at this point. I'm better at Latin, selective Greek depending on the dialect.
