His desk was kept in order as he sat there eating in his own classroom. At the same time his pen scratched across one of his notebooks. He ate and plotted out his next lesson. And at the same time he was going over some freshly turn in assignments. Mainly reports on notable Greek figures and there influences on the world of their time. Most of them were completely horrible in content. But that revealed a great deal about those particular students, that they rushed their assignments. And for the poor work he was more than willing to rush their grade. The board behind him was marked and full of notes and such concerning the current lesson he was on. But none the less, right now, he was completely bored. And it was driving him crazy for the moment. He’d be going out for the evening very soon in order to pacify that situation. But he did have to wait for the day to officially end, and that would be for another couple hour when all classes ended.
Teaching hadn’t been what he’d expected it to be. But it was something he’d come to enjoy doing. He truly enjoyed sharing his passion for it. To show that they had to learn from it. But lately his life had gone awry with his dad’s passing. And now the custody war he was having with the state over his brother. But he tried to not let that interfere with his work. He’d come here to help people like himself live in the world without problems. He’d had his own issues in learning just how his abilities worked. Though to show them that was not his purpose here. He told them of they’re heritage and ancient Greece. It was something he always had a thing for and knew quite well.
But his train of thought was broken when he heard the door knob turn. He wondered just who would be here now. His last class for the day had already ended and he hadn’t scheduled any students for tutoring this evening. But it didn’t come to him as a surprise, student and teachers alike came in and out of his door all day.

Dream opened the door slowly. "Mr. Braddock?Can I ask you a question its about the essay you assigned for us to write" Dream said, sounding more bold then she felt. She was a failure at school work and this essay was gonna be her way of raising her grade to at least a B. She didnt like having the C that she currently had.
Her essay was on her father, Apollo, and even though she knew tons about him, she had no knowledge of how she could make it into an essay that sounded good.

He closed his notebook when he saw who'd come through his door. He didn't like his students knowing what he had planned. For him it ruined the effect. It was just one of his quirks that he couldn't explain to even himself. And he looked at her. "Of course Miss Winters, please come and have a seat, and we'll see what I can do for you." he said politely. He stood up and walked around to the front of his desk and leaned against it. And he stood there and waited for her to take the desk in front of him. He reach back over on his desk and pulled a clipboard and scrolled over the list.
"Hm." he said, then looked at her. "You chose to write your essay about Apollo, your father. Right?" he asked, setting the clipboard behind him. "What exactly is it, that you need my help with?" he asked.

Dream sat in the desk in front of her teacher. She flipped open her notebook to all the note she had on her father. "Well, I took tons of notes on my father but I have no idea how to arrange it into a good essay" Dream said in frustration. She had spent a ton of time getting information on her father and she had no idea to use it. She held her notebook out for him to see. She didnt want him to think that she hadnt even tried when it came time to turn in the actual essay.

Az picked up the notebook on the desk in front of him and looked over all the notes she had. And he flipped through the pages and quickly scanned through the information. And needless to say he was impressed. She had included details that many people would have missed. Though he did have a small problem with it. all of it he already knew. It was something he’d seen before.. so he knew how to help her with this.
“Well, I have to say this is very detailed. Most wouldn’t have included some of this. But, I do have an issue. All of this is something I already seen before. You’ve included a lot of his influences on this world through his worship. And what he purpose for the world is.” He paused, trying to collect his thoughts before explaining it to her. He wanted to give the full explanation. “Try including some of his more personal life into it. Starting with the happenings of his birth. All the way to his association with the other gods and mortal men and women.” He said and sat the notebook back down. He stood up and walked over to a corner bookshelf. He scanned the book before he found the one he wanted and he pulled a book from a middle shelf, it held a bit of weight to it. and he walked back over to his student, flipping through the pages real quick to insure he had nothing tucked between the pages. And he handed the book to her.
“That book should tell you all you need to know, feel free to back it up with any other information you find.” He said politely.

Dream looked at the book with wide eyes and then let out a sigh and grabbed it. She knew she would be spending all her free time between sports practices, reading. "When is this essay due?" Dream asked. She hoped she had a while to find good information from the book.
Dream closed up her notebook and put it and the book inside her backpack. She didnt want to keep her teacher from doing whatever teachers did and she had to visit a few other teachers for help, when she got a chance.

He listened to her as she took the rather heavy book from him. The book was a history on the gods themselves. It was a difficult book to obtain as society concerned itself more with the history of Greece rather than the gods it worshiped. And he looked at her intently before he answered her. “Hm, I hadn’t really assigned a due date when I assigned it a couple days ago. But I’d say about two weeks from now.” He said. Thinking that would be the appropriate amount of time to give someone to work on a paper for him.
“I’m giving that long because there will be other assignments in-between that will have to be worked on. Tests and quizzes to study for. Stuff like that.” He clarified. Though this was an important assignment, he wasn’t about to fall behind in his lessons planned for one paper.

Dream let out a sigh of relief at the due date. That would definitely give her enough time to read the book and write the esssay, she hoped. Considering she would have to do the essay in the times when she wasnt haveing sports practice or a game.
Dream wrinkled her nose. "What are we learning next?" She asked. She hoped it would be something she already basically knew so it wouldnt take her very long to do homework or study.

He laughed slightly when Dream showed signs of relief. “Don’t be so relieved, there will be other assignments given out.” He smirked. He made sure to let it be known that work wouldn’t stop for this essay. “But don’t worry too much it’ll be nothing big.” He assured.
Then he gave her a look. “Now that, I’m not going to tell you. But I'll let you know its a topic I'm rather worked up about.” He smiled. He had something rather entertaining planned for the next few days. Well entertaining to him either way. It was a topic he himself was a little enthusiastic over. And he’d hoped his students would find it entertaining as well. Though he was having trouble trying to think of ways he could properly start the lesson. He was preparing to start on an integral part of Greek history, and one of Greece’s most pivotal moments in history..

Dream wrinkled her nose at him. "I think your a very crueal teahcer" She said and then quickly realized what she said, "I mean your a very.......awesome teacher?"
Dream tried to think of what he could be talking about but had no idea. "Can I have a hint?" She asked hopefully. She knew he probably wouldt tell her but it was worth a shot.

Azrael shot her a look. He knew he could be tough on a subject sometimes, but he never saw himself a cruel. And he laughed as she rearranged her statement. “Oh trust me. I could always double the work.” He smiled and walked around his desk. And he picked through a stack of folders and pulled the one on top. This was how he did his assignment. He made printouts with the week’s homework and class work and topic. Due dates were given for the homework. But this allowed some to do work ahead of time.
He pulled a sheet from next week’s folder and handed it to her. “The Roman occupation of Greece. That’s what we’ll be on for next week. It had a huge impact on Greek society as well as the worship of our parents.” He said, referring to the gods. “I don’t usually hand those out ahead of time, so consider yourself lucky. Most of the homework is reading assignments. So you should be ok.” He smiled.

Dream widened her eyes at him. "Please dont double the work! Everybody would somehow find out it was my fault and spaz out on me!" She spazzed and then blushed when she realized that she was the one spazzing.
She grinned and gave herself a mental high-five as he gave her a schedule. Now, she could probably work a little bit ahead so that she could have more time after school to practice or hang with friends. She grinned at him. "I think its gonna be really interesting to learn about that..and yeah I suppose I do feel a bit lucky" She said, smiling at her teacher.
