It's obvious that the 'strange technology' is what throws Anahita somewhat off, but not necessarily glowing and blinking beeping things. It's the uncertainty of fluids in needle devices, or the like. So much so, she actually pops off the 'bed' too, to stand near him.
Coupled with the lack of hearing, she would have used the pad and pen, or pointed to it, while going through this to write out questions and answers. Presuming all that happened, and when Ardiente finally announces cleric 'magical' healing, she looks much more relaxed and content. None of that crazy technology here, thank you, is apparently her issue.
Awaiting the return of the nurse, or someone else to manage the healing from a scroll, Anahita reaches over and runs a hand along Ardiente's back, as if stroking his spine in what can be an affectionate gesture, mouthing the words, "Thank you." She does this as well for his arm, showing merely affection and gratitude, while smiling warmly.
Perhaps it was a good thing she didn't 'hear' the one person commenting about 'birth control charms.'
Once the cleric does show up, and casts the Remove Deafness/Blindness on Anahita, she does that jaw 'opening ear passage' motion, and looks around, then back up to Ardiente in her normal voice, "You are my hero, Ardiente. I am most grateful for your assistance and will seek to return the favor."
Additionally, she thanks the cleric type, but there's no touching there.
Oddly enough, she doesn't do what most humans would when turning back to face Ardiente, (or humanoids), which might be hug him, but she does maintain that affectionate gesture along his arm again. Her eyes are alive with happy thoughts, clearly.
"I would greatly enjoy seeing you in action further, where shall we go now?" It's clear she doesn't seem to think about the time.
Ardiente is, for lack of a better word, ecstatic at being proclaimed a 'hero', shivering ever so slightly in pleasure (not necessarily in a 'sexy' way), but he waves away any perceived debt on Anahita's part. "Please, we are friends Anahita. You owe me nothing, except perhaps the further pleasure of your company." Despite this, Anahita gets the idea that further use of the word 'hero' would not go amiss, as he seemed to react to it with great gusto.
Ardiente also does not seemed to be concerned with the time, though whether that is a product of the girl with her hand on his arm or something else is not entirely clear, but he does bob his head. He is reacting to Anahita's affection with exuberance; if she wanted to see him in action more, he would oblige. [b]"I was about to suggest we go hunting when I approached you in the cafeteria... is that suggestion pleasing to you? I did not have breakfast this morning, and should have some food either way.

"Ace," she whispered, "does it seem a little weird the way everyone is hanging around Dave right now? I'm starting to worry about what was in that cologne he used."
dave looks suprised "oh yeah forgot about that is it really that strong" he casts dispell magic on himself before casting prestigitation to try to cover the scent with his trademark citrus & cinnamon smell "that better?"
MEANWHILE........ON THE PLANET BELSAYV....
The ISPD team leader is cursing up a storm as the countermeasures specialist tries to figure out how the two teenagers managed to teleport away with a dimensional lock field locked right on them.
As she is about to order the detainment and torture of the nearby villagers to wring whatever information they had out of their pathetic hides, things start to go....even more sideways than they already were.
Suddenly, their assault scout de-cloaks and proceeds to land. The other squad members stop moving as everyone's gear malfunctions, and a robed dark elven woman steps out of thin air a few feet away from the team leader, handing her a smashed sensor.
"You're going to report a malfunctioning remote sensor due to tectonic activity in the ruin - silly thing got hit by a falling chunk of concrete, and fired off a false-positive. Nothing to see here - total waste of time. Back to business as usual - leave the planet as it is and return to base. Understood?"
"........Understood, Ilharess," the team leader intones formally and...a bit groggily. She starts barking out orders to her team, oblivious to the fact that they do not respond (or even move) for a few seconds after she starts speaking. They take the proffered sensor, return to their ship and depart to deliver their heavily doctored report.
After the ship leaves the atmosphere, two other robed figures emerge from the ruins as the form of the drow woman wavers and changes...
....And the dark elven male shakes off his shapechange spell.
".....Ah. That's better. That seemed to go just as you planned, old man."
"that was, um a shantak, a race of creatures that can fly through space" he pauses "um I think... would you like me to summon an ape or something for you to cut down, maybe a shadow or three?"
"I just need to break something that doesn't matter." Hew slices up whats left of the dummies. Then turns to Grim. What was that thing? The ectoplasmic armor had all but disappeared since Hew left the vicinity of his tormentor.
....And the dark elven male shakes off his shapechange spell.
".....Ah. That's better. That seemed to go just as you planned, old man."
"It actually did," one of the other two figures responds - a human man of middling years with a bald pate.
"I must admit - that was a bit exciting. Who knew that this 'cloak and dagger' thing could be this entertaining?"

it takes a lot of work...a lot of time. he melts a large amount of it off, shaping it into a sword like shape. He presses and moulds, entranced by his own work. " i usually spend 15-30 hours on one of my more average swords... 50 or more at my best..." his voice has a solemn tone to it. " I prefer this so much to my training..." he makes the blade swiftly, and in a short 15 minutes, he has a blade suited for any soldier. "it is so wonderful... To make..." he hands his brother the blade, a shortsword, of a sellable grade, made only in minutes. this is quick work, but...

"Aye," the third figure (an older, white-haired human male) replies, a mischievous twinkle dancing in his youthful eyes. "I knew ye'd enjoy it if ye but tried it."
"I've sent our overworked apprentice the good news. Enough problems to deal with he has already, methinks. Now, let's be getting back to our table - I for one am anxious to try Luigi's latest culinary delight," he finishes with a chuckle, pulling out a pipe that lights itself.

The three figures all make arcane gestures, and vanish without a trace...,
Back at Avalon...a note appears on Tamrin's pile of equipment, addressed to him specifically in a practiced, erudite cursive.
"that's awesome" he pauses briefly as if considering his words between 'that's' and 'awesome' but it's brief and is entirely possible to miss "sounds like a great guy" 1d20+9 dave thinks that something wierd is going on with Midori but can't put his finger on what, and he eventually puts it out of his mind
The young girl steps a little closer to David, clearly happy to be in his presence, despite the rude girl who was whispering and not introducing herself. "Tell me more about yourself, Dave-sama. I would like to hear about you." Deciding to make herself comfortable for what might be a long story, she sits down on the grass in seiza, simply waiting.
With a grin Renkai puts his hand out as well... "fine"
when Kai commits melody smiles then grabs them both for a group hug.
thanks so much. Kai you probably need to get to your next class. Bel and I have some girl stuff we need to do.
Once Kai is out of earshot
Ok how can we get our hands on some of this equipment you mentioned.

Shrugs and with a grin walks off... To the lake

"Please, we are friends Anahita. You owe me nothing, except perhaps the further pleasure of your company."

"I was about to suggest we go hunting when I approached you in the cafeteria... is that suggestion pleasing to you? I did not have breakfast this morning, and should have some food either way.
Anahita nods and smiles, saying, "Happily- the food in the Cafeteria was not as horrible this morning, but if your natural desire is to hunt, so be it. Please lead on."
With that, she heads out with Ardiente, walking along by his side saying, "I am glad to see this school uses magic for healing- anything else, does not seem .. right. Does your race use magic or this technology, Ardiente?
Anahita will follow along, keeping up unless he moves like a maniac as he did before.
At one point, she dumps the pen and paper somewhere appropriate- especially if they pass through the Cafeteria, leaving it with the same student from earlier with a thanks.
Vai beams, like you wouldn't believe. She even starts literally beaming - glowing ever so slightly at this praise... or perhaps the whole room seems a little brighter. Both Tamrin and Fei can pick up her eye glass a bit, but her smile could light even the darkest corners of the universe at that moment. This was the Tamrin she had met when she had woken that first day. This was the man who had encouraged her to have her own life again.
This was her Dad.
She returns the hug fiercely, talking into his bare chest. "I couldn't have done it without my family. Without you. Or Mom. Or James or Ephebe or Fieri or Krays or..." any continuation of this list is choked off by emotion.
"Ach! Easy on the ribs, kiddo. They're still tender from....er, nevermind." (^_^)
"Now I'm sure Fei is sick of seeing me mostly naked and listening to us prattle on. So go get some lunch before you crack the tiles in here!" he says with a laugh.
Belyu takes Melody's hand and leads her to the rehearsal rooms.
"I am fine," Fei replies with a respectful bow. "But I can wait outside if you wish to continue to....'prattle'." (^-^)
"that's awesome" he pauses briefly as if considering his words between 'that's' and 'awesome' but it's brief and is entirely possible to miss "sounds like a great guy" 1d20+9 dave thinks that something wierd is going on with Midori but can't put his finger on what, and he eventually puts it out of his mindThe young girl steps a little closer to David, clearly happy to be in his presence, despite the rude girl who was whispering and not introducing herself. "Tell me more about yourself, Dave-sama. I would like to hear about you." Deciding to make herself comfortable for what might be a long story, she sits down on the grass in seiza, simply waiting.
dave pauses, and discreetly smells himself before thinking what can I tell her that's safe for a little girl to hear hmm "hmm, well, my mom was half angle, half Peri angle in my case, I believe that you have Agathenian blood in yourself correct, umm my parents died about 20 years ago, and I fly around in their ship, I'm currently trying to fix it and learn as much as I can here, Oh and I'm from off plannet A little place called Toril!"
Roel is wandering away from the group. He moves slowly, and only moves away from obstacles when they get very near. He seems to be deep in thought.
"And Fei too. He... he is amazing, Dad." her voice holds true affection, and respect. And she eventually does release her Dad from the hug, and make for the cafeteria with Fei at her side. There was several truckloads of food to consume. ;D

Belyu takes Melody's hand and leads her to the rehearsal rooms.
Melody follows along. so how come you didn't want to tell Kai anything?is there something I should know about you two?

"It's a really cool ship, too," she told Midori. "It looks like a sailing ship, but it can fly through the air."
"I'm Raelle del Sol, by the way. I think you're probably in the same class as my little sisters."
Anahita nods and smiles, saying, "Happily- the food in the Cafeteria was not as horrible this morning, but if your natural desire is to hunt, so be it. Please lead on."
With that, she heads out with Ardiente, walking along by his side saying, "I am glad to see this school uses magic for healing- anything else, does not seem .. right. Does your race use magic or this technology, Ardiente?

At one point, she dumps the pen and paper somewhere appropriate- especially if they pass through the Cafeteria, leaving it with the same student from earlier with a thanks.
"We use magic... or techniques like mine, though we rarely have need for a cleric. Fire heals our wounds and drives away illness." And then, with a decisive nod: "Let us hunt then... do you need a weapon first? A bow perhaps?" Ardiente keeps the conversation - and the pace of their walking - brusque but not overly quick, certainly not with the passion he had displayed on their brief run to the infirmary. Perhaps a little quicker than the other student might manage easily, but not a stretch for Anahita. They pass through the Cafeteria to allow Anahita to return the writing implements... and Ardiente lets Anahita lead the way if she requires a weapon.
Viskra hadn't spoken for a while. probobly for the best. You're just a terrifying shanktak, aren't you. Can't change it... You know. You know it's hopeless. Settro keeps lieng, saying it will be better for you... He doesn't know. He puts up an illusion to hide himself. Can you? Thought not... You can't escape yourself..
Settro is suddenly concerned
" vriskra? What's wrong?"
dave pauses, and discreetly smells himself before thinking what can I tell her that's safe for a little girl to hear hmm "hmm, well, my mom was half angle, half Peri angle in my case, I believe that you have Agathenian blood in yourself correct, umm my parents died about 20 years ago, and I fly around in their ship, I'm currently trying to fix it and learn as much as I can here, Oh and I'm from off planet A little place called Toril!"
"It's a really cool ship, too," she told Midori. "It looks like a sailing ship, but it can fly through the air."
"I'm Raelle del Sol, by the way. I think you're probably in the same class as my little sisters."
Midori is as enthralled with David's story about his parents, though she doesn't seem to notice the comment about her own lineage, but then her entrancement breaks as David says 'off-planet'. "Ano... Dave-sama. What is... "off-planet"? I've never heard of this Toril."
Then the brown-haired girl jumps in, talking about his ship and how it flies through the air... well that did sound... cool. "I'm sorry Raelle, I don't think I've been introduced to your sisters." Midori does actually break off her Dave-ward gaze to look over Raelle. There is something a little familiar, but the hair colour is all wrong. "Do your sisters have markings like those?" she asks curiously, pointing to the visible tattoos.

Tybalt winks into existence floating next to Dave in the middle of a circle of people. At first he looks angry and then confused. "What the what is going on here?"
it takes a lot of work...a lot of time. he melts a large amount of it off, shaping it into a sword like shape. He presses and moulds, entranced by his own work.

"Not bad! Not the best for balance but nice otherwise."

Perhaps a little quicker than the other student might manage easily, but not a stretch for Anahita. They pass through the Cafeteria to allow Anahita to return the writing implements... and Ardiente lets Anahita lead the way if she requires a weapon.
Following Ardiente, Anahita shakes her head at the mention of weapons and such asking only, "What did you wish to hunt? Where?" She appears quite at ease with the talk of slaying something living.
Glancing outside, then back to Ardiente, she says, "You must share more information-- I am not a warrior that uses tools. Speak of the objective and quarry."
With that, she stands there waiting, a light smile on her face.
" thank you. Now, I could tamper more on things like that, and get them much better, but I don't think you want to watch me do that for hours. Perhaps I'll show you some of my better work later. I'm no professional, but I like to think I'm at least a little good."
Then the brown-haired girl jumps in, talking about his ship and how it flies through the air... well that did sound... cool. "I'm sorry Raelle, I don't think I've been introduced to your sisters." Midori does actually break off her Dave-ward gaze to look over Raelle. There is something a little familiar, but the hair colour is all wrong. "Do your sisters have markings like those?" she asks curiously, pointing to the visible tattoos.
"Uh, no," Raelle said, trying unsuccessfully to hide her tattoos. "I'm the only one who has those. My sisters have brighter hair than mine. Not dark red. Chara's is light red, like a normal firebird. And Ignace has blonde hair. She's about your age but Chara is younger."
"A deer or similar may be too large for the both of us to eat, but I'm sure the kitchen could use the extra meat. We could carry it back with us I'm sure. " as this part of the conversation was taking place in the cafeteria, Ardiente nods pointedly to a blonde-haired girl loading up a dozen-odd plates of food onto a cart, with a ravenous expression on her face. As they pass out of the cafeteria, their errand there done, Ardiente smiles at the anticipation of the hunt, the smile of a predator - it had been a very long time since his talons sank into flesh. "I will take to the air and locate us some prey... I am not terribly picky myself. Usually I have to make due on whatever fare is leftover from the evening meal back at home."
Vriskra flys off in a seemingly unprovoked huff. She was flying quickly, desperately.

Tybalt instantly forgets any negative emotion as it is replaced with excitement. "Oh my gods Dave did you just say hockey?!" He looks to the nearest person. "You heard him say hockey right?" Back at Dave. "Yes! Where's the rink?! Who are the teams?! Do we have equipment?! When do we start?! Does anyone else know how to play?! Can I be the mascot?! What colors do you want them in?!" He punctuates each rapid fire question by appearing in a new place. At the end he blinks far enough away from the group to do something big. He punches the ground and ice begins to spiral around him after 30 seconds a full hockey rink made entirely of ice has bloomed around him he stands in the middle holding a stick. "Let's play right now!"
!?!?!?
Firebirds... her father had said something about them... she glances briefly at David, but he was talking to... some sort of cat-creature, having ignored her question about off-planet. He was just busy. So many people seemed to like him, he must be as great as she originally thought. "I... I think I did meet Ignace then... I scared her away at the start of class. I must have been rude." Midori looks again at Dave, for comfort from her shame, sidling a little closer to him.
"no I can summon things, it would try to gore you, but it wouldn't sucede, if you were not up to it I could rear him in, or I could summon some undead, try and test the spirit's claims..." he snaps his fingers "maybe I could summon that ghost into a juju zombie and then he couldn't hide things behind partial answers, I could just command him" the young reaper looks fairly excited
"Well Zilla seems fine with the testing out what abilities she has. So I would be fine with it. Besides it would be nice to have a little blade practice again. I don't get much time have to move from one school to the next." Hew takes a few steps away giving Grim some space to summon an opponent. As he looks back to Grim a suit of ectoplasm covers his body in an instant.
"what are you doing? " settro screams at sshesss
Ace looks intently at David, and then the others who seem almost enthralled by him

"Oh, I doubt it. Ignace is scared of people. Especially meeting lots of new people is hard on her. Even if you were very polite she might have still felt the need to run away."
Tybalt instantly forgets any negative emotion as it is replaced with excitement. "Oh my gods Dave did you just say hockey?!" He looks to the nearest person. "You heard him say hockey right?"

"Umm....sorry to disappoint, but it was uh, air hockey....just like hockey, but flying...." He looked at Dave, not sure what to do next.
"Oh... I see. Will you tell her that I'm sorry for scaring her when you see her next please, Raelle-senpai?" Midori seems to cheer up at that, and her gaze returns hopefully to David, looking for more stories perhaps.
