Welcome to Gaia! ::

A Man O' War? That would be an interesting child to see Orpheus thought to himself as he looked over the chart that he had in his hand. This should be fun. As he read the chart he headed to the elevator to go and look over the different terrain rooms, he peeked into a couple of them, debating on which should be used before deciding. He would use the one that looked as though a chunk of the beach had been removed and brought here. It would be the right set up for someone like Zach.

He would see about teaching him someone more simplified this time around, perhaps swimming? It would depend on what the boy wanted to learn. He'd met someone of similar DNA named Medusa that had wanted to work on controlling her reactions to being touched instead of just swimming or something like that. As such he would leave it open for Zach to do the same if he wished.

Orpheus lifted an eyebrow as the woman appeared and then gave a little choked laugh at the description the woman gave of the child with her. He was a what...? The boy answered back in a manner that was pretty similar, "Ahh, welcome to class." He said, looking down at Zach. He was a pretty interesting kid he thought to himself, he had the same transparent look to him like Medusa had.

He looked to Rene, "Will you be staying to observe or heading out while he takes his class today?" He asked of her.

"No worse then any other kid I am sure." Orpheus said, ever friendly as he turned to look over at the boy that was demanding they start. He tilted his head before he gave a laugh, "In a hurry to get to things going, huh? I like that."

He motioned to him to follow, "We will dive right in then, so to speak." He said as he headed over toward the pool. He took down a couple notes on the chart he held before tossing it to where he hoped would be out of splash range.

Orpheus watched the boy as he hopped into the water before giving a smile. He was glad to have kids that were eager to get about to the learning process even if it were only because he wanted his dragon and the classes were standing between him and that, "I hope then that I am not a suck then, I've gotten my share of injuries and they are never fun." He said, as he watched the boy float about.

"You seem to already have a firm grasp on your swimming, huh?" He murmured, giving a smile, "You seem to be rather good at floating too. Must be in your nature to be a good swimmer." There wouldn't be to much for him to teach this one he thought to himself, he would stick with observing and would take notes later.

Orpheus debated on that for a moment then chuckled, "Well I don't think you have to worry about that to much with me, I am not the yelling sort or the lazy sort." Of course that was due to him drinking more then his fair share of coffee everyday, "Hrm, well I suppose if they aren't nice people and deserve to be stung you should do so to defend yourself. That sort of stuff falls more to the Melee teachers though then it does to me."

He watched as Zach paddled his way around, looking his tendrils over in a curious manner, the way that they floated on the surface of the water, "Do you have any control over your tendrils like an octopus does with their arms? Or do they sort of do what they will?" He asked curiously of the boy.

The teacher took in the manner in which Zach was floating about and half wondered if he would be able to dive down under the water when he seemed built more to float on top of it. He watched the tendrils as they stretched out, floating about in the water as they would. Those did make it a little more difficult to help out in the class given they were likely to sting at him if he got to close to them.

"Alright, how about we move into slightly deeper water." He said, motioning to a section that the bottom was marked with a couple yellow lines. It would be just above Zach's head and as such Orpheus got into the water despite the danger presented to him. He wanted to see if the boy stepped passed where he could reach if he would just remain floating. He moved to that point and held a hand out to the boy to give him a bit of help if it were needed.

He nodded, watching the boy as he floated around, "Are you capable of water breathing?" He asked of Zach, wanting to take note of that if he were able to do such a thing. He'd run across a few of his students so far who were able to do just that which made swimming far more interesting if they didn't have to come up for air.

"Not this time around, when I do that sort of class I bring in an older student who is capable of the same ability. He would be there to swim along side of you and keep an eye on you underwater where I can't follow as easily." He explained, "For today I think we can call if good, you can swim until your ready to get out or your guardian is ready to go."

He would need to get a hold of Chath or Kliken to see if either of them were able to come in for the next class he had with Zach to test the water breathing ability of the younger boy.
