Welcome to Gaia! ::

Orphues looked over the set up before himself, it was a climbing course set up with a bunch of wooden boxes he'd found in storage. He'd arranged them like one would a bunch of legos and had even tested it himself, climbing up to the top and then back down the other side. One side was steeper the the others, one side had more ups and downs, one side was simple like stairs, and the fourth side was a combination of steep and ups and downs. Lots of different things for the climber to do.

He then had fetched the cushions again to lay down around the foot of the box course, for in case his student fell he would have something soft to land on. He hoped that he wouldn't have to use them though. He hoped the class went well.



(( like the above image but... >_> better since the picture looks a bit crooked. ^_^;; ))

Orpheus turned as the two appeared and gave a smile, "Ahh, perfect timing I just got done with setting it all up." He said then gave a nod to Raven, "Its not a problem at all, its what I am here for. You know, being a teacher and all." This was said jokingly.

He walked over closer to them nodding when she said that she would send someone for Anoki when he was finished up here, "Sounds good." Once she'd gone he gave a sighing sound of relief for some reason being around her made HIM feel less like a teacher and more like a student himself. She had a rather... intimidating feel to her that made even him seem to want to sit back and obey. Scary.

His attention was turned to Anoki, a smile once more spreading over his lips, "Nice, good to see you back to full health, will make your lesson easier I bet." He lead the way over to the box mountain, "It strong enough at all points to support my weight so you needn't worry about that. We will start out our climbing on which ever side you want to tackle first."

"Yep, this is a climbing class all set up for you." He said, walking over to pat one of the boxes, "For the moment all that you have to do is climb around and get used to them. Get a feel for the different heights and for hopping about from level to level." Orpheus demonstrated by hopping up onto one of the boxes then up to the next, "Like so."

He gave a smile, "Balance, jumping, climbing, and your own 'I can do it' ability will be the important things here." He said then jumped down off the box he was on to land on the floor alongside Anoki, "If you think your ready hop up to the first box."

Orpheus didn't scold the child, in fact he gave a whistle, "That was pretty dam... darn good for a first time." He said, quickly fixing the almost mix up that he'd made there in his speech. He really had to be careful with which words were good and which weren't so good he told himself mentally, he was working with children after all, "And with no hands too."

He nodded, "Keep going, see how far you can get towards the top." He said, motioning with his hands towards the 'peak' of Mt Boxes. It wasn't to terribly high that he thought Anoki couldn't make it, in fact he was encouraging him to try so that he could make it up to the top. And this time without pausing to make sure be was doing wrong. Orpheus was impressed with the boys energy and he seemed to have good balance, he mentally made these notes to write down later.

Orpheus shifted on his feet, moving closer to the mountain of boxes and stood at the ready, if Anoki seemed as if he were about to fall he would jump into action. The boy had been able to catch himself though so he stayed at the base of Mt Boxes and watched, "Your doing really good." He called up to him. He could see the hesitation in his movements now though.

He found himself watching more closely now the way that he moved, hurting ones self could have a negative effect upon the mind, he knew this well enough. In his old job he'd gotten beat up quite often. He leaned against the boxes, "I am right here so you don't have to worry. If you fall I will catch you." He assured his student, wanting for him to feel safe.

Orpheus walked around the structure looking over the boxes as Anoki chose his path up the mountain of them. He wasn't choosing what would be the easiest path that was sure, something that impressed Orpheus quite a bit. He was taking his time, being careful, was actually getting quite close to the goal, "Your doing very good, not far from the top now." He said, clapping his hands.

He'd left out the fact that, sitting on the upper most box, at the goal that was set for Anoki in his climbing class was a small glass box and within it a sort of prize for reaching the 'finish line' of sorts.

It was better after all for it to be a surprise for the boy to discover only when he made it to the top.

Orpheus was a bit surprised and at the same time a bit pleased, "I don't think I have ever met anyone as honest as you." He told Anoki, nodding his head. He hopped up onto the first box then climbed up after him. He reached out to take the glass box and clicked it open, "Here hold out your hand." He told the boy, when he did so Orpheus turned it on his side, dumping the contents in Anoki's hand.

"This is for you, for a job well done." He explained.

Orpheus hopped his way down, deciding that the class was a successful one as it had ended without any incident. That sure couldn't be said about all of his classes now could it? He shook his head and hopped off the last box, "I hope that you had some fun today with the class." He said to Anoki, he could tell the boy had been a bit unsure here and there but he'd kept on going instead of quitting, always a good thing.

"So do you need to call for that friend of yours? Mahou? The one that was going to come get you?" He asked of Anoki, "If so I have a phone you can use and you can also play in the classroom until he arrives."

He looked over at the box mountain and decided that he would wait until later to bother taking it apart and bringing the boxes back to the storage room that he'd found them in. For now though he was gonna slack off, after all he'd drug them all in today so he was allowed a break.
