He loved it! This class was going to be one of those amusing ones like when he had taught Kale how to use his tongue as an instrument to pick things up with. Now he was teaching the wonderful use of 'sticky toes' to Nibal. He was curious, could the boy climb a wall? He had decided to do the class outside since it was starting to finally warm up. He had a bunch of different stuff to practice the sticky toes skill with then if all went well he was gonna take Nibal for a short climb, not as far along as he had gone with Donat but still some building climbing if his toes were sticky enough to do that.
Should prove to be interesting. Orpheus was taking notes down as he prepared for the class and waited for the appearance of his student.

Nibal tagged along behind Peri as the man exited the building. "Why's my class outside? What am I gonna learn?" The boy was pestering his guardian with many questions about what he was going to be doing and where and anything else he could think of.
Peri sighed. "I'm not sure why it's outside. Your teacher just said that it would be..." The man was glancing around for the other teacher. While also a teacher, Peri'd never met the man that he'd heard some call a 'glorified gym teacher'. One would probably never guess where he'd heard that, but Orpheus might have a strong guess...
Finally, he spotted another man, which he assumed would be the teacher. After all, who else would be standing around outside the building appearing to be waiting for someone at the exact same time that Nibal's class was scheduled?

Orpheus lifted his gaze as he heard voice and lowered the clipboard to his side, sticking his pen in his pocket, "Nibal I presume, Ligeia has told me a lot of good things about you." He said, walking forward to meet the pair then looked over at Peri, "And you must be Mr. Coleman, heard a lot of good about you from my son as well. Its good to meet you both I'm Orpheus Solon."
He held a hand out to shake Peri's hand, seeming in quite a good mood. Then again there were very few times when the man wasn't.

Peri smiled at the mention of Legeia. Ah, yes. He'd practically forgotten that this was the boy's father. Well, if the man was in any way similar to his son, then Peri wasn't worried about leaving Nibal here. "Yes, I am." He shook Orpheus' hand. "You know about Nibal's condition...?" The man voiced it as a sort of half-statement, half-question.
Nibal grinned up at the man. "You're Ligeia's daddy?" He smiled. That was cool. He liked Ligeia and Vorel a lot. "Why aren't we in your classroom?"

Orpheus nodded, "I get notes on the different kids." As he was sure that Peri no doubt did, "And Ligeia told me about it as well." Not that it bothered the owl child in the least he was as loving to everyone no matter who they were, something that worried Orpheus a little bit...
He turned to look at Nibal, "We may be doing a bit of climbing today along with some other activities that tie into one of your natural skills."

Satisfied, Peri patted Nibal's shoulder. "I'll see you after your class."
"Okay, P'las." The boy waved as his father left, then turned back to the teacher. "Climbing?" What 'natural skill' of his would tie in with climbing? Nibal was curious to know. "What other activities?" Ah, the everflowing fountain of questions that this boy was.

Orpheus watched the other teacher go not finding the guy to be to bad though he'd not really gotten to know him. He was at least better then a few he knew... He turned his attention back to Nibal, "Its called 'Sticky Toes'." He said, grinning a bit as the idea amused him, "We are going to start out with more simplified thing first, catching a ball by sticking to it instead of actually catching it and a few other things like that, if that goes well we will try climbling. Basically we want to see the extent of what your stickiness can do."

"Sticky toes?" Nibal glanced at his feet in an interested sort of way. Almost as if he'd never seen his own feet before. "My toes can do that?!" He grinned, thinking of all kinds of interesting things he could do with these sticky toes. "What makes them sticky?"

Orpheus opened his mouth then closed it again, "Heh, thats a good question." He said, having no real idea himself, "I will cheat and say its the frog DNA until I can check over the notes sent to me to see if its got a more detailed reason, no doubt its to do with where your frog lives."
Orpheus motioned to him, "Hold out a hand for me?" He wanted to see if he had sticky fingers as well as toes. If so he would make a good theif... no! No bad Orpheus, no thoughts like that!

Nibal grinned, having asked a question that the teacher didn't know the answer to. Score one for him, right? "Okay..." he said in response to Orpheus' cheating answer. Then again at the man's question, though rather hesitantly. He had said that he knew about Nibal's skin condition, so that meant he wouldn't actually touch his skin, right? Nibal peeled the glove off of his right hand and held it out so that the teacher could see.

Orpheus looked the hand over closely, especially the fingertips but couldn't exactly tell. Now were the toes gonna be sticky all the time or did they become sticky when it was needed? He looked around a moment for something to test the question then got his pen from his pocket, "We are gonna see if your fingertips are at all sticky." He explain then ran the pen over them to see if it woudl stick.

Nibal stared at his own fingers in fascination. He couldn't see where they looked any different than they usually did, but watched as Orpheus ran a pen over his fingertips. He let out a giggle, twitching his hand away in an automatic response. "That tickles!" He blinked as he realized that the pen was still attached to a couple of his fingertips.

Orpheus laughed as the pen was pulled out of his grip stuck to the fingers, "Alright! That answers the question of whether your fingertips are sticky as well as your toes." He said, it was on the tip of his tongue to tell him he would make the perfect pickpocket then stopped himself, Peri would no doubt kick him for that...
"Alright. Lets test the range of your sticky shall we?"

It was probably a good thing Nibal was too innocent to think of becoming a thief on his own. His trait would definately put him at an advantage for sure. "Okay..." Nibal pulled the pen off of his fingertips and handed it back to the teacher. "So how are we going to do that?"

Orpheus lead the way over where he had a various amont of sporting equipment, "Here we have some different equipment of various sizes, weights, shapes, basically you will see which you can easily pick up with just the stickiness of your fingers and toes, to see what sort of weight you can handle. If its a lot then we will go onto seeing if you can hold up your own weight. Sound good?"
