RP: Sweating it out
Date: November 14, 2005
Characters: Michael Corner, ???
Location: Hammerside Fitness Center
Status: Public
Summary: Michael needs to work off some excess energy
Completion: Complete
Another day like that and Michael was going to get something of a Snape-like reputation among his students.
Well, maybe it wasn't that bad, but he was so frustrated when they just didn't get it, no matter how hard he tried. He knew that eventually it would start to click in place, and indeed, with some of his brighter students it already had, but there was this one lad who refused to take anything seriously.
It made Michael wonder what he had been on about, taking on such a difficult subject, but he knew that in reality that the student in question was a very bright young man. He just liked attention, and was willing to disrupt the class to get it.
Michael was trying hard not to take it personally. He did his best to keep the subject interesting; adding anecdotes, interesting facts and the occasional joke to keep their attention. To him, runes had always been fascinating; almost like unlocking a treasure or solving a particularly challenging puzzle, but maybe that had to do with the skill of his teacher.
So, all in all, not one of his better days. And it was raining, so working off his frustration with a jog was not an option.
Unless...
He did have a membership to the fitness center, didn't he? He'd used it once or twice before and waved at Dennis from a distance.
Of course, now things were a quite bit different, weren't they?
Besides, he'd meant to get in touch with Dennis long before this, but he'd been so damn busy.
He changed into a t-shirt and sweats and Apparated to the Center, where he immediately hopped onto a treadmill. Wihin moments, he was able to focus on his physical needs rather than his mental turmoil.
