Urijah finished his last class for the day and headed towards Professor Rosaura's office. He sorta regretted his choice of not enrolling in dance this year and recalled the offer being made for private lessons. Last year had been so much fun and he missed his classmates. His father had mentioned a few dances that would be beneficial to become familiar with and had even offered to hire him a private tutor, but he had turned him down, desiring to find his own tutor. Worse case scenario, he'd ask and be told no and he'd end up going with his father's suggests after all. As soon as he arrived at the studio, he walked farther inside and knocked on the office door as he glanced around for Professor Rosaura. "Professor?" He called out, attempting to turn the handle to the door. Strange. I thought he'd be here. Did the office hours change? He thought to himself as he released the door handle.

[attr="class","wabisabi"] With a small watering can in hand that was pale blue, decorated with white baby's-breath flowers from the bottom all the way to the top, Astrofil was in the process of watering the indoor potted plants he'd decorated the window sills with. A touch of nature, bright windows flooding with the courtyard view, and various paintings and pictures decorating the walls of his classroom were all a touch of detail he took pride in. He wasn't one to enjoy stale indoor rooms and he recalled, back when he was student, feeling suffocated by teachers who operated their classes with windows tightly shut and bleak walls devoid of color. Astrofil was happy to provide his students with the exact opposite. The lush, generous view of the grounds was only disguised by the flowing veil of curtains, brushed in a steady sway by the light breeze coming in through the arched windows. When the sound of a knock arrived at the closed door of his office, Astrofil was sheathed by the curtains framing one window that was off towards the far left side of the room. He first turned his head to the sound of a familiar student's voice, and then a warm and gentle smile reached his lips after he saw that Urijah Anderson had dropped by. "Ah, Mr. Anderson! Good afternoon!" He warmly greeted, his voice rising from over yonder from where the boy stood, far across the room. Stepping away from the windowsill, his figure was then revealed. Astrofil's smile remained present with his watering can still in hand and topaz eyes seeking to make contact with the student's. "What a welcomed surprise to see you in my classroom again. How have you been today?"[googlefont=Public+Sans][googlefont=Roboto][newclass=.subcategory1]display:inline-block; padding: 0px 0px 8px 0px; border-bottom:1px dashed #cacaca; font: bold 15px Public Sans; color: #444444; letter-spacing: 1px; text-transform:uppercase; margin: 0px 10px 8px 0px;[/newclass][newclass=.wabisabi b]font:bold 15px Public Sans; color: #333333; padding: 4px; padding: 0px 0px 3px 0px; border-bottom: 1px dashed #b8b8b8; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;[/newclass][newclass=.wabisabi i]font: italic 15px Public Sans; padding: 0px 0px 3px 0px; border-bottom: 1px dashed #b8b8b8;[/newclass][newclass=.wabisabi a]font: 14px Public Sans; color: #111111; text-transform: lowercase;[/newclass]

Urijah was startled upon hearing Professor Rosaura's voice and slowly turned in the direction he had heard him speaking from to see him stepping away from the windowsill. I should have figured as much. He thought to himself with a small smile as Professor Rosaura held a watering can in his hand. "I've been okay." He answered as he glanced around the studio. Not much had changed, perhaps the scenery of plants but only if the old plants had died and had been replaced by new. This place was rather refreshing and it was nice being in here again. "How have you been Professor?" He asked, watching him closely, hopeful that nobody else would be popping out of nowhere to scare him.

[attr="class","wabisabi"] Urijah's smile was one small, friendly, and hinted with a startled reaction by his greeting. There was actually quite a bit of a distance between them, standing on a near opposite side of the room from each other, wasn't there? A flicker of sympathy touched his eyes, before it melted away from the warmth of his genuine happiness of seeing a former student of his unexpectedly drop in. Setting the watering can on the windowsill's ledge, Astrofil's smile kept its warmth and amiability as he shortened the distance between the two of them. " I have been well. Thank you for asking," He answered, and then curiosity lit his face, " Is there a reason you've come by, Urijah? I'm available to you, if you need my help with something," [googlefont=Public+Sans][googlefont=Roboto][newclass=.subcategory1]display:inline-block; padding: 0px 0px 8px 0px; border-bottom:1px dashed #cacaca; font: bold 15px Public Sans; color: #444444; letter-spacing: 1px; text-transform:uppercase; margin: 0px 10px 8px 0px;[/newclass][newclass=.wabisabi b]font:bold 15px Public Sans; color: #333333; padding: 4px; padding: 0px 0px 3px 0px; border-bottom: 1px dashed #b8b8b8; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;[/newclass][newclass=.wabisabi i]font: italic 15px Public Sans; padding: 0px 0px 3px 0px; border-bottom: 1px dashed #b8b8b8;[/newclass][newclass=.wabisabi a]font: 14px Public Sans; color: #111111; text-transform: lowercase;[/newclass]

Urijah watched as Professor Rosaura set the watering can on the windowsill's ledge before walking towards him. He nodded his head as he heard Professor Rosaura's answer. "That's good." He answered going silent when Professor Rosaura asked his question. "Uh, yes." He answered being reminded of his reasoning for coming here in the first place, having gotten distracted by Professor Rosaura watering the plants. It wouldn't be the first time he had come to the studio and had seen him watering the plants and it wouldn't likely be the last time either. "You offered tutoring for dance last year and I'm wondering if you're still offering private dance lessons?" He asked, hopeful that Professor Rosaura would be more than willing to take him on as a student again. Oh the memories of when he had first walked into Professor Rosaura's class. A shy boy who was nervous when he first gave dancing a try, unsure on if he was even posing correctly, only to be given a partner, to which it took two, to get the dance moves done correctly. Even walking out of the class on the last day, he couldn't help but feel a bit rusty, but it didn't change the fact that his father had a list of dances he wanted him to learn and he was given the chance to pick his own tutor.

[attr="class","wabisabi"] Astrofil hadn't quite anticipated the reasoning why Urijah came to visit him at his studio and office, but when the student revealed what he was seeking, the ivory haired gentleman's face lit with a graceful delight. With ease, he remembered last school year and how Urijah grew throughout his dance classes. Watching his students flourish, and blossom every passing week together, was what made teaching meaningful to him. Urijah was a student who exemplified the very nature of growing into one's self in an artistic, guided environment that gave him the opportunity to shine. For the boy to visit his old dance teacher, now, and seek him about continuing his dance education in private lessons was a high compliment as a teacher. " Yes, of course! I'd be delighted to continue with your dance education as your tutor. We can even begin this week, if you're ready to do so," He answered, his hands joining in a pleasant clasp, " Ah, but first! Have you and your father already discussed this?"

Urijah couldn't help but feel pleased when he heard Professor Rosaura agree to being his dance teacher once more. He nodded his head, debating on if this week would be good for him or not. "If not this week, can we start sometime next week?" He asked, figuring there'd be no harm in asking. "Yes. I've talked to my father about this and he gave permission for me to pick a tutor." He answered with a small smile on his face. Now lets see. What does my schedule look like this week? I need to get established in my classes and make sure they know I'm back for the Gaming Club. Other than homework, I don't think I'd have a conflict in my schedule. He thought to himself, thinking it would be best to check his phone but he didn't want to do with while talking to Professor Rosaura. Not until they had an idea of which days would work best for the both of them that is.

[attr="class","wabisabi"] When Urijah informed of his parental consent already being obtained to pick a tutor, Astrofil's smile became one of polite confidence and approval, " Excellent! I'm glad to hear that. I'm especially honored, however, that you've selected me to be your tutor. I promise to not fail you in our coming lessons together," Astrofil was more than happy-- he was thankful for Urijah's sentimentality of their dance classes from last year, and he was warmed to the heart that the student had wished to have him be his private tutor. It was a high honor. Astrofil was given the assurance that they'd be ready to begin their lessons once discussing the details of how many days, at what time, what Urijah was comfortable focusing on at first for his lessons, what his long-term goals were, and all the other contractual matters that'd lead to the finalization of a signed agreement for their coaching time together. " How about we continue this discussion in my office? I'd like to hear what your goals are for your dancing, and we can select a time for meeting each other next week," He invited, motioning his hand in a gentle swift beckoning towards his office door that was currently still locked closed. The gentleman, at the same time, begun walking over at a slow pace that invited Urijah to follow along with him. [googlefont=Public+Sans][googlefont=Roboto][newclass=.subcategory1]display:inline-block; padding: 0px 0px 8px 0px; border-bottom:1px dashed #cacaca; font: bold 15px Public Sans; color: #444444; letter-spacing: 1px; text-transform:uppercase; margin: 0px 10px 8px 0px;[/newclass][newclass=.wabisabi b]font:bold 15px Public Sans; color: #333333; padding: 4px; padding: 0px 0px 3px 0px; border-bottom: 1px dashed #b8b8b8; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;[/newclass][newclass=.wabisabi i]font: italic 15px Public Sans; padding: 0px 0px 3px 0px; border-bottom: 1px dashed #b8b8b8;[/newclass][newclass=.wabisabi a]font: 14px Public Sans; color: #111111; text-transform: lowercase;[/newclass]

Urijah nodded his head as Professor Rosaura spoke, putting his full trust in him. He was familiar with how he was during their time together and he believed that it wouldn't be much different than private lessons, with the exceptions of Professor Rosaura being the only option as his dance partner instead of another student. When Professor Rosaura mentioned continuing this discussion in his office, he was reminded that he was still standing in front of the door. "Uhh yes." He agreed, moving closer to Professor Rosaura as means of moving out of his way so that Professor Rosaura could get to the door. He'd than proceed to following Professor Rosaura inside his office as soon as the door became unlocked and opened.

[attr="class","wabisabi"] Upon the boy stepping aside, Urijah carefully reached forward with his key, unlocking it at once and letting it sweep open in a light simple motion. " Please, have a seat, and make yourself comfortable," Astrofil welcomed Urijah in with a polite and kind gaze, having stepped inside and opened one arm to gesture the boy's entry. Inside the office, everything was pristine in cleanliness, and not a file was left laying around. The desk was tidied with a few stacked books carefully set aside, a couple being some of his favorite classical literature based on classical ballet theater. A framed picture of him, back when he was student at Panacea Academy, with his own dance classmates was beside the quaint stack of books. His chair was backdropped by a generous view of the courtyard, and cracked open with the sound of a trickling water fountain and small cheeping finches enjoying their bath in the water fountain's lowest tier. Astrofil walked around the side of his desk, and soon sat down in his chair, hands folding atop the shined wooden desk's surface. " Now, before we delve into the agreements and contractual details of our private lessons, I'd like to ask you about the most important matter of all," He begun and gently cleared his throat with, " What is it that you wish to focus on during your lessons? Are there any hopes, goals, areas in which you'd like to explore or improve on? Your interests, and your needs, are at the heart of the whole picture," [googlefont=Public+Sans][googlefont=Roboto][newclass=.subcategory1]display:inline-block; padding: 0px 0px 8px 0px; border-bottom:1px dashed #cacaca; font: bold 15px Public Sans; color: #444444; letter-spacing: 1px; text-transform:uppercase; margin: 0px 10px 8px 0px;[/newclass][newclass=.wabisabi b]font:bold 15px Public Sans; color: #333333; padding: 4px; padding: 0px 0px 3px 0px; border-bottom: 1px dashed #b8b8b8; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;[/newclass][newclass=.wabisabi i]font: italic 15px Public Sans; padding: 0px 0px 3px 0px; border-bottom: 1px dashed #b8b8b8;[/newclass][newclass=.wabisabi a]font: 14px Public Sans; color: #111111; text-transform: lowercase;[/newclass]

Urijah watched Professor Rosaura open the door, nodding his head when invited inside. He walked inside and looked around the office before taking a seat in the empty chair across from Professor Rosaura's. He couldn't help but stare at the stacked books and the picture of Professor Rosaura back when he was a student at Panacea Academy with other students that appeared to be in a dance class. One of the female students looked somewhat familiar. Hey wait a minute... is that? He thought to himself as he stared a bit longer at the picture. If he didn't know any better, that looked like her. He was pulled from his thoughts when Professor Rosaura had pulled his chair back before taking a seat in it. Yes of course. He thought to himself, believing he knew what Professor Rosaura was about to say. He was surprised when Professor Rosaura asked his questions. "Oh yes, of course. My goals are what my father wants, partly because I don't want to disappoint him but in all honestly, they sound rather fun. So for me it's a win win that my father wanted me to take further dancing classes when he found out what I had learned last semester." He answered, withdrawing a list of the different dances that his father desired for him to learn, all of which would require him to have a dancing partner eventually. He slowly reached over to hand the list over to Professor Rosaura. The list included the following dances, Waltz, Tango, Ballet, Rumba, Foxtrot, Swing, Cha Cha, and Salsa. Some he had taken the year before, such as a little bit of Ballet, while others were freshly new to him.

[attr="class","wabisabi"] Astrofil was impressed by how well prepared Urijah was about approaching him for tutoring. The boy had made the entire process seamless, and quite easy. At times, students would ask him before having parental consent, resulting in a waitlist of various teens who asked to be considered in the future once their parents were able to afford lessons. In some cases, teens asked to be waitlisted for the summer sessions over their break from school. Gently retrieving the list Urijah written for each requested aspect of their lessons, Astrofil brought his hand to the side of his cheek, leaning against it as he quietly went over it. The boy's father had requested a diverse list of dance focuses. It reflected a likely desire to have his son be well-rounded. Each dance would be beneficial to Urijah-- for his endurance and personal development, and of course his strength as a dancer. He listened to the boy and gave a happy nod in approval. " Very good. This is a great list, Urijah. You're not only a punctual student, but a well-prepared and motivated one," He complimented with earnest, " We should be able to cover each specialty by the Winter Term. You're already experienced with a few of these, which means we can start introducing more advanced moves in the near future. Of course, only if you're comfortable with this when the time comes,"Lowering the list, Astrofil proceeded to ask, " Next, I'd like to ask if you have any concerns you'd like to address, such as injuries or health complications you may have experienced within the recent months. Will you be in need of any form of special studio or campus accommodations?" His student's health and well-being were always at the top of his list. He refused to push anyone past their limits, or neglect to check with their health. Dance was good for the heart and the body, but it also could be a very rigorous and demanding activity.

Urijah watched as Professor Rosaura read over the list he had written. He couldn't help but feel a bit pleased as Professor Rosaura praised him for being not only a punctual student but a well-prepared and motivated one as well. He nodded his head as he heard Professor Rosaura speak. "I'd like that a lot." He answered with a nod. Though he wasn't sure if he was all that experienced but if Professor Rosaura said so, perhaps it was true. To Professor Rosaura's question, he shook his head no. Then upon pondering it mentioned. "Well, I don't think it counts but I do sometimes stay up late on homework and other assignments, resulting in a lack of sleep. I'll work better this semester to ensure that I finish early so that I get enough sleep too, but I'll let you know the morning of, if I failed to get enough sleep the night before." It seemed only fair that he admit to this, since even without the extra tutoring, he had days last year where he clearly lacked sleep and it had showed.
