Giving a slight bow, Hitome follows Jin into the building taking it all in. "It really is. Is this a school of magic?"
GM Henry Fortuna |
"Yes, it is," Niels answers Hitome. "Master Michael has long been interested in the magical arts, devoting himself to many years of research. There are very few places in the world that offer to teach others how to use their gifts responsibly, so he sought to open his own school. Here the children learn about magic and more, as well as socializing with others."
Niels leads Jin and Hitome to a sitting room. "His eventual dream is to teach adults as well and become a proper college."

Taking it all in she just sucks in her breath and lets it out slowly. "Woooowwww....I've had tutors and such....but I've never seen anything quite this impressive. This town seems very fortunate in many ways and most of the people seem....warm and genuine in their kindness." She states as she sits down in one of the soft comfy chairs.
Hitome Murakami |
"Thank you very much, it's perfect." Hitome says, smiling.
GM Henry Fortuna |
Niels gives another bow before departing. "I shall inform Master Michael that you are here."

"There were quite a few at the monastery, but nowhere near as many as this." Hitome replies, taking a sip.

"By the way, Elena and Kāma, I'm keeping the shop closed today. Apparently, I am overworking myself," Asha mentions.

"Yes, you are, Mother," Elena comments. "This food is great. Thank you."
She smiles at Rajni. "Seems like you're getting the hang of cooking."

Nodding in agreement with Elena and Kama she says, "Mama....we all love you and we know how much what you do for others means to you...it's just...sometimes it's okay to just step back and take a break ya know?" Holding up her hands in a somewhat defensive manner she says, "No one is saying anything like...good grief why can't I just say things right....okay, main point....You are a super important person to lots of people and what you do matters on so many levels to so many people...but once in a while, it's totally okay to just settle down and take some personal time for yourself. We just really love you mama and just like you look out for everyone else....we want to be able to look out for you sometimes...because you're worth it." She finishes as she tries to put to words things she had been feeling for a while.
Then looking to her sister as her comment sinks in she blushes slightly. With a surprised look on her face she kind of smiles a bit, "Really? You really think so Elena? I couldn't do anything without mama's help and patience I don't think. I shredded the potatoes...but then mama put the oil in the pan and did all the frying parts that I could have caught the kitchen on fire with, I put the eggs on top though before we put it back in the oven." She kind of rambles as she goes through in her own mind how her mama helped her start understanding the basics of cooking.

Getting up from the table she starts gathering up the dishes, "You and Auntie Priya go and have a good time Mama. Juhi and I can handle clean up before we leave, right Juhi?" She asks with a smile over at her younger sister.
Looking over at Elena and Kama as she starts clearing she smiles, "Thank you Elena...I hadn't thought about it like that, but you're right. I'm just happy that I get to learn from such wonderful cooks like Mama and Auntie Priya. We really are lucky."

Setting her tea cup aside for a moment she stands and bows before standing up and giving him small but shy smile, "Good morning Mr. Andimus, I'm Jin Kobayashi, and this..." she says, indicating her companion, "Is Hitome Murakami, my....well, she's my friend. I was hoping if you had a moment I could ask you about possibly improving my armor through magic? I spoke with Mr. Kierk at the mines about my armor and he recommended me to you." She says with a slightly soft voice.
Hitome Murakami |
To offer her better protection against harm." Hitome says in responsive. Given her spellcasting talents, and the likelihood that myself and Gyo, our other companion, would be nearby, she may most likely find herself facing ranged or magical threats. If that helps."
Jin Kobayashi |
Thinking for a moment she says, "Well...I'd like to put some energy resistance on the armor and then maybe get a few items to help with building up my own defenses." She says while trying to figure out how improve the armor a little bit."[/b]
Jin Kobayashi |
She thinks about things again for a few minutes before saying, "Actually, do you think you could just give my armor poison resistance? I can do other things to help protect myself from other attacks. I might need a few items though if you have them? The things I would need are a ring of protection plus one, a belt of incredible dexterity plus four, some boots of striding and springing to make me a little faster, an amulet of natural protection plus two, and finally a cloak of resistance plus two, to help with improving my chances of not getting hit with other magical type attacks. Would you have those things?" She asks a little hopefully.
Jin Kobayashi |
Giving him a slight bow she stands and smiles, "Oh thank you, that will be just fine. Ms. Toni said that we won't be going on any missions for a few days yet anyways. She wants to give us time to get used to our surroundings before we start trying to save people. Do I need to leave my armor here with you then so that you can work on it? Let me go ahead and pay you for all of that." She says before pulling out a good sized and somewhat heavy pouch, and a much smaller one. Counting out two thousand one hundred and seventy-five platinum pieces she puts them in the smaller pouch, ties it closed and hands it to the town wizard, "I think that should be enough Mr. Andimus, but if you end up needing more later just let me know." Picking up her tea cup she finishes the contents before setting it back down, "Thank you so much for your hospitality and your help." She says before giving him a slight bow and small smile.

Once they're done cleaning up she gives Juhi's back a light pat as she goes to retrieve the girls crossbow, "Alright, want to get ready to go do some more practicing? You've been learning very quickly and as soon as we have some nicer weather we can try finding you some real game to test your skill against." She says as she tries to be encouraging.
Michael Andimus |
"Of course," Michael says. "Niels, please come here."
Once his manservant arrives, he gestures to Jin. "Niels, please show the young lady to one of our restrooms so that she may change."
Niels nods and waits for Jin before leading her to a bathroom. "Here you are. Would you like for me to wait for you or will you be able to find the sitting room on your own?"
Jin Kobayashi |
"I think I'll be able to make my way back. Thank you Mr. Niels." She says before going into the rest room. Taking off her new blouse she removes her armor and undershirt. She puts the undershirt back in her bag before putting her new blouse back on. Picking up the armor she holds onto it while making her way back to the sitting room.
Getting back to Michael and Hitome she holds out the armor to him, "Thank you again for taking the time to do this for me." She says while giving him a small shy smile.
Jin Kobayashi |
After leaving Michaels she turns to Hitome, "So, what do you want to do now? Should we go check out their temple, look at some more shops, check out their market place, or see what other eating places are around here?" She asks as they start to head back the way they had come.
Rajni |
When they get to the range she has Juhi go over the safety rules again. Once satisfied that she has retained everything perfectly so far, she points out the larger target that are closest to them.
"Okay Juhi, I want you to start with them again and try to work on your aim. Once you get as close to the bulls eye as you can, I want you to switch to the targets further back and see how close you can get to the center. You may begin." She instructs as she watches Juhi's stance, making slight corrections to her foot placement and posture so that she's as steady as possible. Once she feels Juhi has the stance correctly she steps back to let her practice firing the bow.
Hitome Murakami |
"I'd be interested in seeing the temple for a bit, though we can check out the shops on the way." Hitome suggests.
