*Complains bitterly at being manhandled into a make-shift classroom by his father*

How DARE he interrupt my busy schedule of hanging around and doing nothing?

*Takes a seat and scowls*

*Notices that there's another child sharing the room with him.*

Who're you?

*arrives at the compound, is shown in, hangs up her hat, adjusts her shawl, shifts the satchel of books on her shoulder, all the usual*

[tar_calion]

*icon-face*

(*note to self: start v. basic in sciences to catch this one up*)

And mathematics?

[tar_calion]

*Shrugs* Okay, I guess. I know my tables, I can do long-division, Lord Númendil taught me a little trig.

[nolimon]

Spherical trig?

[tar_calion]

Spherical trig? What use would that be?

[nolimon]

Um. The world is round.

[andreth_saelind]

*finishes scribbling down some notes*

*fishes a rod out of her satchel and raps it on the desk* Ahem. Boys.

[nolimon]

*Faces front again.*

Sorry.

[tar_calion]

What's this about spherical trigonometry, I wanna know!

[andreth_saelind]

Just as the trigonometry you've learned is based on the circle, so trigonometry in three dimensions is based on the sphere. We'll get there eventually, I promise. *smiles*

[tar_calion]

*mutters* What a gyp. How am I supposed to learn sailing if the sodding world is a completely different shape?
