[closed] in learning you will teach
who: Jonathan Kent (supersweet), Terra (earthy)
what: A talk at recess
when: Before the arrival of the fireflies, maybe April 19th
where: Riverview Elementary School
warnings: None
[It doesn't take the staff of Riverview Elementary School long to figure out that their new teacher's assistant is uniquely suited for some tasks... and completely, astonishingly useless for others. He's pretty much a dud when it comes to helping kids with their schoolwork, reviewing lessons with them and answering their questions. Turns out he only knows the basics of a couple subjects himself, his own schooling having revolved around far different material.
He excels at the supervising part of the job, though. He's a fair and friendly enforcer of the rules and manners besides.
And there's his magic.]
You've gotta be very brave now.
[Another day, another recess, another kid sitting on the playground with a minor injury, a pouty lip, and tears welling in the corners of their eyes. Terra crouches next to a little girl, one hand hovering over her lightly scraped knee.]
My magic requires bravery... [It doesn't, but these lines work wonders on the smaller kids.] If you're not brave enough, the spell will just fizzle out.
[Channeling magic without the Keyblade on-hand has always been a challenge for him, but the bumps and bruises kids collect at playtime really only require the weakest of healing spells to repair. Cure isn't too tough to cast empty-handed. He focuses a moment and a faint green light shimmers across the battered knee, patching it up in seconds. Terra wriggles his fingers for effect and checks out his handiwork. Yep, all better.]
Good as new! [He declares before standing and helping the student to their feet. He dispenses a quick hair ruffle.] That spell worked so well, I bet your heart's about as brave as they come.
[The girl scampers back to her friends with a giggle. Dusting off his hakama, Terra returns to his spot in the shade of the school building and resumes his watch. He notices the boy a few minutes later. Ten or so years old. One of the teachers pointed him out earlier. Another new arrival, they'd said.
Jonathan, Terra thinks his name is. Jon.
Strange that the portal would pick up a kid... Did he need a new home, too?
Terra wanders over, thumbs hooking in his pockets.]
Hey, how's it going? How are you settling in?

[ With a smile, he bends the bar back in place easily, buoyed by his confidence and not having to hide. ]
no subject
If Jon's dad has strength like that, strength greater than that, Terra doesn't doubt the man could wipe the floor with him.]
And that's just a power of-... [He's cut off by the bell ringing, signalling the end of recess. Kids start trudging back to the building. Terra watches them a second then tips his head toward the door they're all heading for.]
Right... Back to class then. [He eyes the handlebars and snakes his hand out for a quick hair ruffle.] Good thing you fixed that up as fast as you did...
[Not a conversation he needs to be having with the 'master' of the school. "And you felt the need to damage school property why...?"]
no subject
You promise you won't tell anyone, right?
[ Jon unintentionally stresses on the word promise. His life revolves around them, after all. ]
no subject
[Terra promises with a firm nod, dutifully tracing an 'x' in front of his chest. He'll keep Jon's secret.]
no subject
Thanks, Terra. You're the best.
[ He tugs his cap down before waving him off and running to his class room. ]
no subject
Nice kid, that Jon. Terra imagines he probably has quite the future in store for him.]
