And today he was lucky, he was thinking about how he was going to have to climb back up the tree to cetch all of the spheres that were up in it after he had the class with Kale. He'd kicked down a good number of the spheres down but there many more hidden up amongst the branches. The sun coming through the glass ceiling made them glitter. As it turned out one of his next students was for a climbing class, a girl he knew named Alaqua. She was the one that had played with Ter a while back when the snake boy had gotten himself lost.
He would make it ten of them, to climb up among the branches and while up there find and fetch ten of those sphere without getting hurt or falling, mostly cause he hated the idea of her falling. Maybe if he made it part of the class then she wouldn't? He could hope.
He scribbled down some notes on his clip board before leaning back against the tree and waited for her to arrive.

Oh. Joy. They were joining to teach Ala how to climb?! How... crazy. The girl had been doing that since Niki brought her home. In fact, it had taken the mother forever to even get the girl to stop climbing on her all the time.
Though Niki was a bit startled by the choice of class, she supposed Ala could probably use something out of it. And the girl was thrilled. That was what mattered, right?
In fact, Alaqua was down at the end of the hallway, gesturing for her mother to hurry up. Nikiana sighed and walked a bit faster. Oh how she was going to enjoy the little bit of freetime she was about to get. Both her girls were in classes now, though that meant more driving around to take the girls to and from everywhere.
Ala dashed on down the hall as her mother grew closer, opening the door and popping into the room. She grinned as she saw the teacher, peering about for a moment to see if Ter was there.

Orpheus seemed to be alone, the friend she was looking for staying home due to a bad mood and the fact that he was going through the miserable stage that was shedding again.
"Hello there Alaqua, right on time." He said, not that he really had a set time that someone was supposed to show up to his classes, so long as they got there he was happy. He pushed away from the tree to walk over to her, clipboard in hand, "How are you doing today?"
He was in a good mood today, he'd gotten a good review from the boss and the others in charge and he seemed to be on a super happy high that even coffee couldn't beat.

Ala grinned. "I'm good!" She peeked behind Orpheus again, then asked "Is Ter not here...?"
Niki poked her head into the classroom, spotting her daughter. Well, at least the kid had come to the right place. With a wave for the man, Nikiana settled herself down near the door to read her book.

"When he saw that you were gonna be in one of my classes he really did want to come. Hes going through a rather miserable process that snakes have to deal with called shedding." Orpheus explained to her not wanting for her to think that the boy didn't want to hear her, if he wasn't in such a bad mood he'd of no doubt followed his father here for a chance to see his friend again.
Orpheus waved to Niki as she appeared, smiling before he turned back to his student, "Do you want me to explain today's class? If things go well maybe afterwards you can peek in on Ter and wish him well." Getting told to get well soon by someone like Ala might help, a visit from a friend could make him smile.

((I think you got Ala and Vivina mixed up on that one.... ^^"))
Alaqua blinked. "Shedding?" Somehow, that didn't seem like fun. But she cheered up as Orpheus mentioned the class and then about possibly going and seeing Ter afterwards. "Yeah!"
Nikiana waved back at Orpheus, then opened her book to where she'd stopped reading and started up again in the captivating story.

(( gonk I am so sorry! I didn't mean to get students mixed up. crying ))
"Alright, first off though class." He said as he walked over to the largest tree that was present in the classroom, turning to face her and motioned to it, "This is the tree that we will be climbing up. Up in the branches of this thing are a bunch of these." He held up a glass sphere for her to see, "The objective of these is to find ten of these while your up there."
He hopped up to catch hold of one of the branches with one hand then held the other one out to Ala, offering her a hand up into the branches since they were high up.

((*pats* Tis okay.))
The prospect of class got the girl excited as she followed the teacher over to the tree. She looked at the sphere, then up at the tree. So she just had to get ten of those little balls? That didn't sound too hard. She took Orpheus' hand to get the boost up into the tree.
The branches seemed to be spread out more than in the other trees she'd climbed before. She reached for one closer to her and pulled herself on up, keeping an eye out for the glass spheres.

Once she was up into the tree the redhaired teacher lowered himself back down and looked up into the branches of the tree to watch her as she moved around, "They are sitting in the crooks of the branches." He said, giving her a hint as to where they might be hidden, the ones in the lower branches had mostly been knocked away by the enthusiastic giraffe that was in the last class.
He moved along underneath the the tree so that if Ala did happen to fall then he would be able to catch her before she could get hurt.

Ala moved on up a couple of branches before finding her first orb. She held in for a moment, trying to think of how she would climb while trying to hold ten spheres. Then, with a grin, she pulled her shirt up enough to expose her belly and stuck the orb in her pouch.
And then she was moving on up to find the next one.

"Good job!" He called up, seeing the way that she'd gotten one of her orbs already, "One down, nine more to go." He said to her. Off to the right of where she was and up a little ways there as an orb that was glinting in the sun's light, casting off a rainbow of colors. The same of another one that was farther up in the braches and would only be seen by the colors it gave off instead of the orb itself which was nestled in a crook and not visible itself.
Both within a short climbing distance but not close enough that they could be grabbed from the same area at the same time.

((*blinks at her previous post which is in Peri-style* That shows how tired I was last night!! xd ))
Ala spotted the glimmering and made her way towards the first one. After a bit of manuevering through the branches, she reached it, placing it with the first orb. Then she looked up, spotting the pretty colors the other sphere was making. Reaching up, she pulled herself onto the branch above her, then worked her way over to the higher sphere, tucking it away as well.

As she moved through the branches her movements stirred the higher up leaves and suddenly there was a sound like: 'ting, ting, ting' as one of the sphere's came loose from where it had been sitting and started to roll its way down through the branches. Its path would take its fall passed the girl. It was up to her though if she noticed it and if she did notice if she was able to catch it.

Alaqua was scanning the branches for more sparkles or other hints of there being an orb about. The soft noise caught her attention and she turned her head this way and that, trying to pin down the source. The sphere bounced down right in front of her before she realized what was making the noise.
"Oh!" Was all the girl said as she fell, stepping off the branch to go after the orb. She caught a lower branch and reached out, grabbing the sphere as it rolled back past her. Then she looked up and frowned. There went a good portion of the height she had reached. Sighing, she tucked the sphere away and started upwards again.

Orpheus's eyes had gone wide when the girl had followed after the sphere, giving a sigh of relief when he caught hold another branch easily enough and caught hold of a sphere as it fell. He lifted an eyebrow, impressed, "Nice!" He called up, "That was a good catch."
From her lower view she would catch sight of another of the spheres, a lot farther up in the branches but had she not been at this angle she wouldn't have seen it. Maybe following the rolling sphere down the tree had been a good thing in disguise.
