Fox was still making excellent progress, and either particularly enjoying the activity or determined to improve this particular technique. Perhaps both; they were not mutually exclusive.

It took a little getting used to the manoeuvre, as Gaeltheos was finding out. Really, her first attempt was not so much a failure to stop as it was not quite reaching the speed where such a stop would be necessary. The fact it went better the second go seemed like enough confirmation to him. "Good, Miss Gaeltheos. Keep sticking with it."

Blackthorne was another one who Kamran was pleased to see kept sticking with it. He tried not to define these kids by their houses and house traits too much, but was only human. That was some Slytherin determination he was seeing right there. Again and again she tried, and again and again, Kamran watched, waiting until at last she had found some success before calling down from where he hovered on his own broom. "That's what I like to see, Miss Blackthorne." The determination. Yes.

He returned the thumbs up to Blaze, a sign of acknowledgement of her own gesture, then watched this next attempt. "Great effort, Miss Blaze. Excellent." Another success. Another display of how far you could get by sticking with it. ~~Another Slytherin.~~

It didn't surprise Kamran too much to see Adara-Stark immediately head for the more challenging set-up of crash mats; as far as he'd been able to glean so far, the boy was long interested in flying, and had a good amount of skill on a broom, evidenced by his near-perfect emergency stop (not that Kamran could see the tail twigs brushing the mat from this distance). "Very well done, Mr Adara-Stark." He was very welcome to try again, although... Kamran took a quick look at his watch. A few minutes yet, but it was nearly time to finish up.

Time... flies.

Another one who seemed determined to stick with it was Jones, Kamran noted with approval. He had half a mind to make a suggestion or two to the boy about timing, but refrained; sometimes it was just better to let them get there on their own, especially the older students. Case in point. A successful stop, but then - there it was - a successful emergency stop. "Excellent, Mr Jones," Kamran called to him. A good display of learning from experience.

As for Flamsteed...

..........

.................... Well. How was that for physics?

"Up you get, Mr Flamsteed," Kamran called to the boy, flying over to retrieve the wayward broom for him. Walk it off. You're good. "An impressive flip, if not quite what I was looking for."

That... seemed as good a note as any to end the lesson on. Kamran came in to land and dismounted, now with Flamsteed's broom in tow, and blew on his whistle once again. No warning this time. "Alright everyone, that's all we've got time for," he called out, beckoning them all in again, and wrapping up, speaking loudly enough that they might all hear on the approach. "A successful activity, I think, thank you all for your maturity in today's lesson, and, as always, for the effort you've been putting in. For our next few lessons, we'll be working on the emergency stop in slightly less-controlled situations." So. Now they were forewarned. "Anyone genuinely interested in flying recklessly at crash mats without stopping, come see me in my office, and we'll talk." Most likely about why. Details. Anyway, they'd probably worked up an appetite by now. "Class dismissed. Go get some lunch."

But for one, whom Kamran had still not forgotten. "Except you, Miss Cambridge. You stick around for a few minutes." They'd just wait until everyone was gone.

OOC: Class is officially dismissed. Apologies for the delay with wrapping up; I had to wrestle some wrackspurts. I'll leave the thread open a little longer if you want to RP leaving, and will be closing the thread tomorrow. Thank you all so much for participating! I appreciate you all uwu
