The Office of Lady Ghanima Atreides, All-Day Friday
Today's meet and greet was for the students and their loved ones (and tolerated-ones) to reconnect, and so Ghanima went to open up her office instead; piles of research materials neatened up, tea brewing slowly, and Ghanima behind her desk, already at work on her notes for next week's class.
While her office may not be what some parents would expect at an educational institution -- long gone were the sterile furnishings of your typical American office in favor of overstuffed chairs and cushions, with tapestries and silks draped everywhere, brought with her from the market of Arrakeen -- she had removed her throwing blades from the dart board. Ghanima was the very image of a perfectly respectable professor... if your idea of respectable included glowing blue-on-blue eyes.
In honor of the visiting guardians, the office hours of Ghanima Atreides were now in session.
