one/ video/ count your blessings, not your flaws

( The video opens to half a second of Serah looking vaguely unsure about what she's doing before a smile crosses her face when her phone begins recording. )

Hi. ( Start with manners. It's only polite. ) I'm Serah. I'm one of the newer people here. And, well, back home I was a teacher. I know this place doesn't have a proper school or anything, but I wanted to help with that.

( Which is why she's stood in a building, one which has seen better days but is in one piece. )

I think, if we fix this place a little, we could use the rooms for hosting lessons.

( How can you say no to that optimistic little voice.

A breath before she speaks again- )

That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.

( Serah Farron out. )

( Oh. )

Well, I can teach you that.

( That is no problem at all. Well, apart from the fact that she hasn't really seen any books around here yet.

There's paper. She'll just have to get creative. )

Really? You will? I can't wait! I'm so excited! You're the best! When do we start?

[He has a lot of energy and a very short attention span, so I apologize in advance for how well-meaning but ultimately stressful he is as a student.]

[odinbolt]

( Whoa, okay short stuff, time to dial it back. )

The building still needs to be cleaned... ( Hm. ) And I'll need to write a plan. ( Hmm, hmm. ) How about in a few days? I'll call you.

[demonsional]

I can help clean!

[He says, the dirtiest child that ever got dirty.]

But I can wait, too! I am very patient!

( There sure are a lot of people willing to help. Serah definitely thinks she was right about what she said to Lance. This place reminds her a lot of home. )

Good. ( She giggles as she talks. This kid is adorable. ) Can you find other students for me?

[demonsional]

I can try! I, um, I don't know too many people who might want to be doing the learning thing but I will ask all of everybody just in case!

[This is his job now and he's immediately thrilled to have it and he's gonna do the best. He won't stop until Serah is drowning in students.]

Thank you.

( Thank you for brightening her day, Hayden. )
