......... Was Cambridge okay? Really. Did she know the brooms did not hate being flown? It was important to Kamran that she knew that.

Future discussion.

He let her have her moment of enthusiasm - all the better to ruin it later - but naturally interjected when she gave her version of helpful advice to Burke. "Alright, thank you Miss Cambridge." Kamran turned his attention to Burke. "Slow and steady, to start with, Miss Burke, until you get the hang of the basics and master your balance. I think perhaps that broom isn't quite right for you to learn with." Actually, he had been wondering where it had come from. It certainly didn't look like a school broom, and yet Burke was only a first year. Seemed that was another conversation he ought to be having, but later. Right now, it was a matter of practicality, if it turned out she was having trouble with control. "Why don't you leave this broom with me, and see if you fare any better on one of the brooms over there." Kamran gestured to the back ups he'd provided from the school broomshed, then held his hand out for the Slytherin's broom, without voicing any of his other thoughts just yet.

And then back to the grounded Gryffindor again. "Constructive criticism, Miss Cambridge. Keep it considerate, stick to how can they improve, what can they do well."

In the meantime, he was keeping an eye on the others. Kamran was fairly certain there would be some disgruntled flyers out there, but that was fine with him, as long as they were going what they were told. Landing could be a dull topic when you knew what you were doing, but vital to learn. They'd be moving on soon enough.

He shielded his eyes against the mid-November sunlight, and peered down towards the podiums. Turov seemed to be doing alright - Kamran wasn't surprised she'd opted for the more challenging option - if a little wobbly, from what he could see. That was, of course, why he had them practice. Down to the podiums too came Fox, who probably could have stuck that landing better, but not bad for a first attempt. Good to see her apparently willing to try again, at least. Kamran had a feeling Blaze was likely to opt for the podiums as well, and waited to see how that would go. Perhaps in a minute he'd head on over and provide some even smaller spaces, for those who needed a further challenge in that same vein.

Those who were more on the beginner side of things were where Kamran's attention was naturally drawn; even though they were doing the most basic technique, a lack of experience could easily put them at a higher risk of accidents, depending on the student. Miss Nam had done well enough so far, but Kamran seemed to remember her issue was not in going up, but coming back down. He kept an eye out to see what kind of form they were dealing with.

Yoon was... not going anywhere. Kamran watched him anyway, to get an idea for how his technique and form had improved since the last lesson. There was a hairy moment in there when he tried to compensate for a little overzealousness, but Kamran wasn't too concerned, even when the boy started to roll. He didn't fret or rush over, only watched quite calmly, waiting to see if Yoon would correct on his own. If not, the floor wasn't far away.

But he got there, and now only had to land. Kamran waited to see how he managed it before actually speaking up, to make sure he didn't startle him out of his concentration. "You can fly around the area too, Mr Yoon. Stay low if you'd like; the practice will be useful."

Baltazar-Dos Santos was having a much simpler time of things. Either a natural flyer or one with plenty of experience in learning. Or both. "Very good, Miss Baltazar-Dos Santos," Kamran called out to her, at the risk of tell her something she already knew. "Feel free to up the difficulty if you want the extra challenge." He gestured to he podiums, and the rest of the space around the perimeter. Really, she could try landing out of a dive if she thought she was up to it, he wasn't going to keep anyone from pushing themselves, and that went for first years with flying experience under their belts as well.

Letting his gaze rove around the other students, Kamran's eyes landed on Blackthorne, one of those students who still had a little trouble with flying even after a few years of learning. The fact she still kept at it showed real strength of character. Kamran watched her come in for the landing, pleased to see she had some real success there. "You're making good progress, Miss Blackthorne. Very good." He was interested to see where she'd take her next attempt, if she made one.
