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. )

[ Wolfie sniffles and snuffles his way through the home alongside Rose. She seems to take most interest in the kitchen. ]

Were you going to actually use the kitchen, or? It's got some good acoustics, so I think that'd be best for a music or dance space. I could clear it out and do my best with it.

Well, I was thinking about offering cooking classes...

( HM. )

Do you think we could share? ( She could always store things in other places and bring them out for classes. Keep ingredients at home if need be. )

Ah, then- Don't worry about it. I'm sure I can make one of the other rooms work.

[ Being a bother is something Rose tries to avoid even now. She doesn't want to disrupt people's plans or go against what they've already decided. If Serah wants the kitchen, she can have it. ]

Is that what you did back home? Cook?

( It's not that much of a bother, really. There's still a lot of time before everything's set up. But, for the question, Serah shakes her head. )

Well, I taught a little of everything. A lot of history, but...

( This doesn't seem to be the place for the history of Pulse and Cocoon. )

Seems more useful to offer practical skills.

[ It is to Rose. And that's all that she needs to decide to know that if Serah wants the kitchen, she'll find somewhere else to teach her class out of. ]

Ah, so. A general ed teacher. Cool. I always respected people who could do that.

I'm not great with kids.

( Well, it sounded like one of the rooms upstairs also had relatively good acoustics. Maybe that would work? )

They can be pretty difficult. ( Serah laughs as she speaks, remembering all the times she's had kids refusing to do their homework, or running off with things they'd pilfered from Maqui's workshop. )

[ For dance classes, upstairs might pose a danger. Even though the building seems sturdier than most, Rose isn't actually sure how much she trusts the floorboard to not give out after all the wear they've been through. ]

Yeah, they can. I mean, I like 'em enough but... Still. I wouldn't have the patience for it.
