I'd like to start classes again as soon as you're ready, Raine. There will always be one distraction after another, meaning we can't keep putting this off forever.

[wise_maiden]

I know. I was hoping we could try to instill some form of routine in, before it gets taken out of our hands.

[fonon_professor]

Then, next Monday should be fine. We may have to consider getting rid of the cobwebs in our classrooms first, though.

[wise_maiden]

That probably isn't a bad idea. It's been a few months, and the rooms have been mostly unused. Perhaps a general airing out of the building would suffice.

[fonon_professor]

Either that, or we have the students clean everything for us next week as a class project.

[wise_maiden]

Just ask Lloyd to do it.

[fonon_professor]

And here I thought teachers aren't supposed to choose favourites.

[wise_maiden]

He needs all the extra assignments he can get.

[fonon_professor]

Now now, I'm sure we can come up with something a bit more challenging than cleaning.

[wise_maiden]

I don't doubt that, either.

Is everything well at home, then?

[fonon_professor]

Of course. Regal and I have both recovered from the incident by now. And you?

[wise_maiden]

... Good.

We're all fine, mostly. It's been a hectic few weeks, so we should be grateful for this breather.

[fonon_professor]

I couldn't agree more. Though, despite the break in experiments and other such incidents, there's always more work to be done.

[wise_maiden]

Of course. It at least gives us an opportunity to make progress on the work that we've missed due to all of the interruptions. Though it's a constant cycle.

[fonon_professor]

Indeed. Now's the perfect time to work on lesson plans. We'll have to come up with a few nice projects for the students to work on.

[wise_maiden]

I'm sure we'll be able to come up with a few things. I'll want to administer tests during the first week, to see where reviews will be needed. It has been a whole summer.
