It was no shocker to him that the more avid of flyers out there joined him up in the air without batting an eye. Head nods were given as Calrissian, Newton, and Tamesis hopped on their brooms and began flying around the Training Grounds. Shortly after, he made a descent, Quaffle in hand, toward the ground to better ensure that everyone who showed up either made some laps on their brooms or did some simple stretches.
The look on Castillo's face didn't go unnoticed, but Colin didn't comment as she was cooperating so far. That, honestly, was really all he could ask for -- he could appreciate those who tried; otherwise, the castle door was only a short walk away for those who didn't want to be there.
Giving the Quaffle one last toss before landing, Sinclair, Smethwyck, and McCarthy received nods and smiles for greetings. He directed his broom a few feet to the left and reached out an arm, catching the red ball seemingly without much effort. Moments later, his feet touched the ground.
The expressions worn on Walsh and Dakest's faces reminded him of Castillo. Though internally he was beginning to question if they were aware his class was only mandatory for first years, outwardly he just flashed a trademark smile of his as he walked past them. He gave Botros and Bell courteous head nods, leaving them to their stretching as he reached for a sack he had left on the ground and put the Quaffle inside. Glancing around, he noticed that Meriwether and Thomas had joined the ranks and wasted no time stretching their muscles.
After allowing everyone and any stragglers a few more moments to stretch and make some laps, MacKenzie, still holding into his broom, grabbed onto a whistle with his free hand and brought it to his lips. TWEET! TWEET!
"Let's get this lesson started, shall we?" he stated to everyone that was present. "Today we are going to focus on learnin' about and practisin' a specific broom tactic. Before we dive into that though, I was wonderin' what broom tactics ye lot already know of? And what are the steps for that tactic? Or what was yer experience attemptin' it like if ye have done it in the past?"
OOC: Apologies for the wait, everyone. I was MIA the last few days due to a family emergency. But all is well, and I'm ready to get this lesson started.
To start off the lesson, Colin is just engaging some prior knowledge and getting a general feel of everyone's knowledge about different broom tactics. Please limit yourself to one broom tactic and then either describe the steps needed to complete the tactic or have your character share their previous experience attempting the tactic (was it easy or difficult for them, were they able to do it or not, etc.).
The lesson will continue tomorrow evening EST.
