She had decided after the conversation with Fei and Vare, that finding this crater Fei spoke of, and wanting help with, would be a wise place to study for preparing.
Doing so in the past had helped her much, so it made sense to repeat the tradition again. Without much effort, she moved without taking a step, or rather, each 'step' was another jaunt via the Champion teleport, making travel a thing of thought, and not action. She didn't notice.
Jivana's constant conversation with her-- or merely her constant steam of sharing, was becoming familiar, not as much a distraction, as much as another sense, she was gathering. Quite similar to maintaining a detection spell of any sort with duration while walking and-- well, not so much walking.
Then, in the sky, the silvery fire glow of something aflame. Reflecting on the hue and coloration, the still huge fire bear shaped elemental form of Anahita moved off, to find a vantage point, and eventually gaze upon where it landed before the flames ended.
It was the intriguing Champion of Courage, carrying someone-- another Champion, and two more followed suit in their own manner. She took a few moments to dwell on this, perhaps a good hundred or more yards away in the night, before taking a step closer.
-----
The shape of a thirty two foot tall, fire bear, appears behind Fei, some twenty feet or so away, just as Fei finished his bow to the other two. It's eyes took in the scene quickly in the dark, night being no hindrance, and then asked, "Fei, Champion of Courage, is this a private affair, or am I not interrupting?"
The bear of fire, now of dark red hues and dark orange, oddly enough not illuminating the area and rather silent save for the speech of a young girl's, Anahita's if memory serves anyone who'd spoken to her previously, inquires of the monk with Keme.
After a moment of study, Anahita asks simply, "Why is this being injured and not tended too?" Her tone and manner merely suggest curiosity, nothing more.

Carl eats up then gets and asks a member of staff where he can get a few of the datapads like Mel and others have,he then heads to the library to get them upleaded with what ever local DBs they have. On the way he calls up the others
"Here Arthur, Tinman, tomorrow I'm got us each one of them Datapads they use here like Mels, I'm going to the schoo library to get the databases put on them. Also I have set up a nice mining dial with that Jiminiy Lad-e, bad news is I need ya to give me a hand evacuating a fake sun of Sunbairds, Sorry about that, but they need all hands by the sound of it. Once Im'm done here I'm going to sleep on me ship tonight just in case"
Carl follows the arrows to the library.
Ace stumbles back several steps, as the flaming bear appears, staff raised into a fighting position. When it speaks with the voice of Anahita, he sighs in relief "What in the Nine Hells are you thinking?! No, scratch that, clearly you are not! After everything that's gone on today, you came very close to having your life ended by my blade! What ever possessed you to take the form of a massive flaming bear, you foolish woman!!" The young man is clearly upset.

The young man is clearly upset.
"Always with the generous bounty of good cheer, Casil. I see the days have done little to alter your temperament. To be fair, I did not see you-- only Fei. Though, now that I am close, I see you clearly-- and hear you."
She then nods politely at Ryuzo before returning her attention to Fei.
He takes a deep, calming breath, centering himself "Sorry, I've been in the very heart of all that has gone on today, from protecting Jaiye and Ehos so they don't die, to dealing with first normal Vai and her evil counterpart, making sure my girlfriend wasn't killed by a psycho student, getting hit with the death, and rebirth of Kitty and more. So yea, little wound up. You'll have to forgive me, your beatificness"

"It certainly does not sound as if the school is having an enjoyable-- unless this is someone's idea of fun, weekend thus far. Perhaps I will reconsider my staying off school grounds this weekend after all. Interesting. So more than just the explosions and such, that Professor Vare spoke of."
Her bear face looks thoughtful, as she slumps slowly down to a bear butt sitting position, looking quite bear like in her mannerisms.
"It makes me curious who all is responsible, and more importantly, the exact why."
Ardiente still looks troubled, though given Villem's calm and unthreatening manner, Ardiente relaxes his defensive posture, dropping his guard ever so. Ardiente's own face also reddens slightly at Villem's... assertion that Raelle was his mate.
"Ah... you're mistaken in at least once thing, Villem. Raelle and I are not a mated pair. Raelle is a friend of mine." he interjects from behind his smokey and patterned girl in front of him.
Ardiente's still standing a little stiffly - clearly diplomacy was not his forte. He wasn't really sure how to conduct himself here. Other Firebirds he had spoken to thus far had been decidedly less talkative. "And I apologize, but I do not have a last name anymore. I was of House Fuerte, but that house is now defunct. I am houseless." There is a slight wavering in his voice at that - clearly still a fresh wound for the young firebird, but he remains stoic nonetheless.
"I had heard that there was more beyond Agartha, yes, and have even met several who are from the expanse of darkness that the new sky revealed." Ardiente motions to the sky, though the roof obviously blocks any view of that.
"As for leadership of our people... that has yet to be decided. There are those who have stepped forward to assist our people in relocating to a suitable place where we can rebuild. It is part of the reason we are extending a talon to all the abjured. Us Firebirds cannot be divided now. We need to all work together if we're to continue as a race."
"heh, I was about to apologize myself, I kinda made an ass of myself, so this Gennosuke guy, what does he look like"
"He is a nine-tailed kitsune..."
Vai gives a brief description of the Professor as she and Arthur make their way up to the schoolgrounds. Once there, Vai triggers the arrows to lead them to Genosuke....
Finding him dealing with students in the cafeteria, Vai somberly walks up to the older man."Excuse me, Professor? Um... I need you to come with me. Keme needs you."
as they walk lang tries to explain about the trip. I guess you could have your party in the morning, or you can wait and have it back at my temple. you know we drink tea as well and have a lovely tea garden that the elders enjoy. Oh ans as far as dress, the fact that you would be there with me is all i care about not what you are wearing. just...ahh..midori...we do not allow bladed weapons in the temple.
Lang suddenly realizes he never really answered midori's question. Oh yeah the ceremony, while I was away I completed all of my tests, I am to be elevated to Sifu, or master air bender. this grants me permission to teach my art to others. also, I believe representatives of the other temples are coming for me to be presented as the new Avatar
Midori doesn't seem to bothered by the fact that she'll have to leave her weapons behind. "Lang-kun, if I am to enter your home, I will not question your honour by bringing my weapons into there uninvited." She says evenly, which is apparently a big step for the girl who, just a week past, would not have set aside her weapons for longer than a few minutes at a time.
"I am very glad that you are so accomplished, Lang-kun, and I would very much like to be present for this ceremony in your honour. I... may attempt to finish Chara-chan's kimono tonight, so we can have our tea party in the morning tomorrow."
Watching the reactions of the two young Firebirds, it's evident that Villem appears bemused at the individual reactions. If nothing else, he does appear /very/ perceptive.
"I am so much more than what the Council abjured me of, so much. It was the friend, who warned me, yes, Raelle. She guided me here, gave me assistance where others would not. She mentioned the visit of a pair, youths, with intriguing colors. Especially the purple plumage, and the delightful patterns."
Villem grins and then says, "Kuros then, perhaps I shall visit. That is on this plane of existence, correct? Still on the planet Agartha-- or have the Firebirds realized their true destiny in the Plane of Fire?"
"The purple plumage is the legacy of my Grandfather... he was a dragon. I am a quarter Dragon." Ardiente says with a little shrug, as if the information was just something he felt Villem should know, displaying no emotion of his own, if any existed. "Yes, if you have a a map of Agartha I could mark it for you. Or if you simply know where the Avalon school is, the town is nearby."
"Well, if you would like to suggest the Plane of Fire as a place for our people to inhabit, you're welcome to come to the camp and share that."
"Who is this beneficent friend of yours? Another firebird?" he asks, and there is a touch of curiosity in his voice, but mostly he seems to just attempting to be polite by carrying the coversation.
Villem grins at Ardiente's apparent curiosity, where earlier there was just the eagerness to depart.
"A very, luminous and enlightening female. We have learned much, I, especially, by her teachings and instructions. The things ... I have gained, remarkable."
When he speaks of this female, he does sound, quite impressed and respectful.
He does, however, seem to wait on Raelle's next, if any, comments or questions-- seeming to give her the time to ask before speaking.

Carl follows the arrows to the library.
While heading towards the Library, Carl will happen upon a human teenager, who carries himself with an air of charisma, just in his appearance alone.
Standing a muscular, more on the lean side, athletic, 6'2" tall, with slightly dark skin, bronze due to tan, short, black, wavy hair, green eyes and no visible tattoos or piercings. He appears to be a completely normal, healthy, in excellent condition, human being. Dressed in some pirate like white shirt, leather pants, and tall boots.
He does, however, do something 'unusual' as Carl falls into his view, he stops walking and looks Carl over.
Realizing that he is staring though, while sipping something out of a large cup, he raises a hand and says in the common tongue, "Hey there. Ain't seen you before-- new?"

"Wow that sounds like a really big deal. I would love to be there for your ceremony." She replies full of excitment for her friend. "Does that mean Hew will need to leave his staff here? If so he will so that it but I bet we can convince him." Zilla slides over beside Midori insinuating she could help.

It's eyes took in the scene quickly in the dark, night being no hindrance, and then asked, "Fei, Champion of Courage, is this a private affair, or am I not interrupting?"

"It....is a matter of death, Anahita. And, I hope, rebirth. Our flood of misfortune has claimed one of our fellow Champions...by the hand of his own Patron, it would seem," Fei answers quietly, still on the ground and holding on to Keme.
"Keme is in jeopardy of losing not just his life, but his soul and identity as well if we do not take action soon. His grandfather is a teacher at Avalon, and is being brought here now to be told of what is transpiring. Then....we may have to....end Keme's life in order to save his soul, and give him a chance to be returned to life. But no longer as a Champion."

"bleak...." The cat suggests
"Animals aren't weapons so I'm fine."
:)
She begins walking towards the school, hoping others would follow. Apparently she's the only one who realizes how late it is.
"I'm gonna find Sun. You can stay there if you want, but my shirt is the biggest light right now."
Carl enters the library and asks if someone can help im get the Data, bases onto the three data pads he has, wile he waits he looks around for any books on mining, finding few he looks them over and find one he likes about Shattered world mining, then once the datapads are done he puts it back and asked if he can sign up to the library, once done he signs the book out, and heads to the Canteen again for a late hot drink and to do some reading. He looks down and sees his kilt news a wash, its got cake on it. Washing tomorrow he thinks. The gets a hot drink head outside to a bench and starts to read, wile smoking a pipe.

Chuckling as he is ignored, Tryko'Sam returns with his goods retrieved from the Cafeteria to his room and the two girls enjoying life with in.
"I'm back... With snacks." Grinning, he presents the goods he acquired, nothing Firebird specific, but fairly healthy and energy filled.
"How are we doing?" He proceeds to rejoin or watch, the small party.

Meow...." The cat agrees hopping down from Sara's head and walking in front of the group
"Wow that sounds like a really big deal. I would love to be there for your ceremony." She replies full of excitment for her friend. "Does that mean Hew will need to leave his staff here?

"Would you mind If I came along? I know I'm not much help, with sewing." Zilla asks Midori with hopeful eyes.
Midori looks away again at the mention of Hew, perhaps indicating that he was what was troubling her. She still graciously accepts Zilla's offer to come along though. "Of course Zilla-chan, I would be very happy for your company."
Lang walks beside Midori.
Midori, my offer still stands, also I think we have something at the temple you might like, remind me after the ceremony and I'll show you
Lang is referencing what he whispered to her earlier.
to Grim; Grim, please understand my people are very peaceful people, though we do not allow bladed weapons, we do respect the culture of others. I think the case can be made in your favor. I do ask that you allow yourself some compromise and the magic bag idea seems agreeable.
looking to Zilla a staff is what we use at the temple so I do not see a problem with that.
Sara... I never knew about your new cat friend, I don't know if he can come along. considering all the owls we have, it may not be a good idea right now
Chuckling as he is ignored, Tryko'Sam returns with his goods retrieved from the Cafeteria to his room and the two girls enjoying life with in.
"I'm back... With snacks." Grinning, he presents the goods he acquired, nothing Firebird specific, but fairly healthy and energy filled.
"How are we doing?" He proceeds to rejoin or watch, the small party.
"I've never felt anything like this." Rena says, as she's lazily lounging next to Asha, apparently the girls have taken a break as well. Rena seems a little oversensitized to be completely honest - a little dazed by it all. "You were right earlier though Tryko'Sam, it does feel very good. I... I think I could just spend all my time doing this and be happy."
She lays there in the nude, wings splayed out and wrapped around her - though obviously it has nothing to do with modesty, instead simply she seems to by enjoying the sensation of her own feathers on her skin.
"I just physically can't leave it behind, if I try it comes and finds me,"
after a pause
"aren't the owls a lot bigger than this cat? I mean big enough that it's more of a worry that the owls will eat the cat?"
Midori looks away again at the mention of Hew, perhaps indicating that he was what was troubling her. She still graciously accepts Zilla's offer to come along though. "Of course Zilla-chan, I would be very happy for your company."
As the group enters the school Zilla glance around to everyone. "Well I think If we all want to be able to wake up to do everything we want. We should start getting ready for bed." She mentions After seeing the light of the school reveil how tired the boys look. (They have done the most tiring things out of the group.) "Midori and I will be doing the same soon."
"It....is a matter of death, Anahita. And, I hope, rebirth. Our flood of misfortune has claimed one of our fellow Champions...by the hand of his own Patron, it would seem," Fei answers quietly, still on the ground and holding on to Keme.
"Keme is in jeopardy of losing not just his life, but his soul and identity as well if we do not take action soon. His grandfather is a teacher at Avalon, and is being brought here now to be told of what is transpiring. Then....we may have to....end Keme's life in order to save his soul, and give him a chance to be returned to life. But no longer as a Champion."
"How long do we have, and how exactly are you aware of this? I profess knowing very little of these Patrons and their methods, but, why would a creature that seeks the spread of Hope seek to squash it's accepted conduit? More importantly, do you act as Fei, or as the Champion of Courage in this scenario? Is Hope seeking to lure Courage to act against it and thus, cause an issue? I apologize if the questions are ...off, but, do you act out of concern for Keme's well being primarily, or as an agent of Courage? What of you two? What are your goals in this? How often do these chaotic events occur here?"
Having asked her questions, Anahita studies Keme, having finally learned the fox tailed shifter's name, to see if any information were forthcoming by her senses, including a detect magic to aid in her study.
"We only met him tonight. I just think he wants to be friends. He doesn't need to come.
I wonder if they'll let me see the owls. I feel like I need an animal. I'm not sure what though. This kitty is nice but I know he isn't it. The otter Mr.Cat gave me is nice too but still isn't it."
"Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Aananda." he says respectfully, not dropping all formality... and probably overcompensating for his lack of other social graces. His gaze never meets hers, though he doesn't appear to be shy. Instead it seems to trace along her entire form, never quite sure on a place to rest. Disconcerting to say the least, and to the paranoid, he might even be considered a lech. "A student by the name of Fei said that I should speak with you about acquiring a few pieces of technology, though I understand if you are busy at this very moment."She looked up briefly and turned off a couple of screens so she could look at him.
"Yes, I am. You're the conjuration professor. Vare. Call me Aananda. It's silly to be so formal. We're colleagues after all."
"Well, my lab got blown up tonight, so I'm rather limited on what I can cook up at the moment. But I can certainly put a note in my to-do list for later...what exactly was it you were looking for?" she asked. She sounded tired. Not impatient or irritated. Just like she'd had a very long day and perhaps a crisis or two too many.
"I just physically can't leave it behind, if I try it comes and finds me,"
after a pause
"aren't the owls a lot bigger than this cat? I mean big enough that it's more of a worry that the owls will eat the cat?"
I was actually worried about the babies. but yes Simba could probably carry the kitty in one claw probably
looking to Sara, well, we would be riding them to the Temple so you'll get to meet Simba in the morning.
I think Zilla is right. I am going to find Sun then move Simba to the area master jimmy said, Oh I almost forgot, I need to deliver this scroll to the Del Sol family.
Chuckling as he is ignored, Tryko'Sam returns with his goods retrieved from the Cafeteria to his room and the two girls enjoying life with in.

Asha laughs and literally tumbles off the bed, landing on her hands before slowly flipping back over. This seems to be normal for her.
"Yeah, I have to admit I'm a fan of this too...it feels good to be touched," she said before frowning at the food. "Uh...do you have a fireplace or something? Cause I need to burn some of this before I can eat it. Firebird thing. We can't eat raw food like this. It would make me sick."
"How long do we have, and how exactly are you aware of this? I profess knowing very little of these Patrons and their methods, but, why would a creature that seeks the spread of Hope seek to squash it's accepted conduit? More importantly, do you act as Fei, or as the Champion of Courage in this scenario? Is Hope seeking to lure Courage to act against it and thus, cause an issue?

[dice=Heal check]1d20 + 28
[dice=Spellcraft check]1d20 + 35
Keme appears to have been electrocuted. Also he is covered in magics to prevent healing of any form. Since she is a champion the aura that comes from the detect magic isn't blinding, but it clearly originated with a Patron, and all signs point to that Patron being Hope.
"Aww. Baby owls. Cute."
She yawns.
"Ya. I'm going to bed. Let's all meet at breakfast tomorrow."
She picks up Cariban.
She stays for any last things before heading to bed.
"Well, my lab got blown up tonight, so I'm rather limited on what I can cook up at the moment. But I can certainly put a note in my to-do list for later...what exactly was it you were looking for?" she asked. She sounded tired. Not impatient or irritated. Just like she'd had a very long day and perhaps a crisis or two too many.
"I understand, and I do not wish to tax you further, so please take your time with this request. I was simply looking to have a pair of those communication devices I have heard being used. It may help us to better respond if such a thing happens again." Vare also sounds a bit worn, but he steps a little closer to the head of security. "Is there anything I can do to assist you? My magic is mostly spent.. but I will do what I can. This has been a very trying day for us all, and we will all need each other in the days to come, I suspect."
"I... if at all possible, as well. I... cannot see properly, and I was wondering if there was a device that could read aloud texts of lore and such for me." He continues on, having made it offer of assistance. If nothing else, this younger teacher seems very compassionate, if not wholly... present sometimes.
Midori looks away again at the mention of Hew, perhaps indicating that he was what was troubling her. She still graciously accepts Zilla's offer to come along though. "Of course Zilla-chan, I would be very happy for your company.""Wow that sounds like a really big deal. I would love to be there for your ceremony." She replies full of excitment for her friend.

"Ya. I'm going to bed. Let's all meet at breakfast tomorrow."

She stays for any last things before heading to bed.
goodnight Sara

Having asked her questions, Anahita studies Keme, having finally learned the fox tailed shifter's name, to see if any information were forthcoming by her senses, including a detect magic to aid in her study.
"Despite the aspects they represent, it appears that the Patrons always...jockey with each other for positions of power and dominance. Keme's patron, Esperanza...is attempting such a political maneuver now, and trying to ally with Lumos, the Patron of Light. To what end I do not know yet. Keme told us this much before Esperanza silenced him. 'She' is trying to break his will now, so our time is limited."
"And I am acting as a healer. To free Keme from this before everything that is 'him' is lost. He is suffering, and that should not be. That is all that matters to me at the moment."
Asha laughs and literally tumbles off the bed, landing on her hands before slowly flipping back over. This seems to be normal for her.
"Yeah, I have to admit I'm a fan of this too...it feels good to be touched," she said before frowning at the food. "Uh...do you have a fireplace or something? Cause I need to burn some of this before I can eat it. Firebird thing. We can't eat raw food like this. It would make me sick."
Nodding at Asha, Tryko'Sam focused a moment and the room shifted into a fairly high tech looking place, complete with a large fireplace, flames lapping away within.
He brought the food over for her and says, "Here you go, food to be burnt. Seems as if things are calming a bit out there, I believe the primary infirmary is back up, maybe, and the cafeteria is seemingly winding down. Might just be folks going to their rooms- I suppose. Anything you two want to do, or just hang out tonight? I just want to be sure you two are comfortable and enjoying yourselves. I'm still new here myself... Just arrived a day or so ago."
He idly examined the room's structure and layout while talking as if looking for something. The pictures that were present were all very blurry.
"Well, my lab got blown up tonight, so I'm rather limited on what I can cook up at the moment. But I can certainly put a note in my to-do list for later...what exactly was it you were looking for?" she asked. She sounded tired. Not impatient or irritated. Just like she'd had a very long day and perhaps a crisis or two too many."I understand, and I do not wish to tax you further, so please take your time with this request. I was simply looking to have a pair of those communication devices I have heard being used. It may help us to better respond if such a thing happens again." Vare also sounds a bit worn, but he steps a little closer to the head of security. "Is there anything I can do to assist you? My magic is mostly spent.. but I will do what I can. This has been a very trying day for us all, and we will all need each other in the days to come, I suspect."
"I... if at all possible, as well. I... cannot see properly, and I was wondering if there was a device that could read aloud texts of lore and such for me." He continues on, having made it offer of assistance. If nothing else, this younger teacher seems very compassionate, if not wholly... present sometimes.
"Oh, umm...sure. I can get you communicators...umm...do you have a preference about form? Cause it can be a wristband, headband, subdural implant...whichever....but it will have to wait until I get my lab facilities back. But the reading thing is easier. If you bring me a datapad I can adjust it to do that for you easily. Wouldn't take more than a minute."
"As far as assisting goes I don't know that there's anything more that can be done tonight. I'm pretty tired honestly. I spent the afternoon throwing up, morning sickness is such a misnomer, and then all of this. I was plugged in to the network trying to fix it when the EMP went off. I was all healed and thankfully the babies weren't hurt. But I'm pretty tired. I should have all the security systems repaired everywhere but my lab now. Getting my lab back online will have to wait until tomorrow. I have it quarantined for now. So unless you can help with unloading the extra supplies brought in to make up for what was destroyed...We lost so much. The infirmary, the materials and supplies building, the magic item crafting lab, my lab....Sorry. I'm...a bit distractable now. It's hard to get my mind off all the check-lists of things that need to be done to get things back up and running. This was a disturbingly efficient attack well-designed to make it difficult for us to recover."
"The only thing I can think of is if you could ask the cafeteria if I could please have a few gallons of warm milk?"
Lang walks beside Midori.
Midori, my offer still stands, also I think we have something at the temple you might like, remind me after the ceremony and I'll show you
As the group enters the school Zilla glance around to everyone. "Well I think If we all want to be able to wake up to do everything we want. We should start getting ready for bed." She mentions After seeing the light of the school reveil how tired the boys look. (They have done the most tiring things out of the group.) "Midori and I will be doing the same soon."
The cat bats at midorI's hem, it's tail lashing around....
"Thank you Lang-kun." Midori says evenly back to him as the group begins to break up. "Zilla-chan and I will see you in the morning." she says to everyone gathered, including the departing Sara. "Oyasumi nasai, mina-san." she says, bending down to pick up the cat, who obviously wants attention. "Hello, neko-chan. Are you coming with Zilla-chan and I?"
She and Zilla move away from the group and towards the sewing room...
"see you tomorrow midori.... stay safe..."

Asha grabbed a piece of food and held it in the fire, seeming to take pleasure in the feel of fire on her skin.
"Mmmmm....yes, definitely enjoying myself," she said smiling with pleasure. "It's amazing that the room can change shape like this."
"K. G'Night."
She heads off to bed, trying to get the arrows to take her to Ephebe or her Grandmother.
"Despite the aspects they represent, it appears that the Patrons always...jockey with each other for positions of power and dominance. Keme's patron, Esperanza...is attempting such a political maneuver now, and trying to ally with Lumos, the Patron of Light. To what end I do not know yet. Keme told us this much before Esperanza silenced him. 'She' is trying to break his will now, so our time is limited."
"And I am acting as a healer. To free Keme from this before everything that is 'him' is lost. He is suffering, and that should not be. That is all that matters to me at the moment."
Anahita nods after her study and scan of Keme. "Powerful magics preventing any effort to heal, I can sense the Patron of Hope's hand in this. Though, again, why in this manner? Are the Champions not willingly aiding the Patrons? With all due respect, why do you hesitate? You appear committed and certain. I would not doubt your analysis, you are a senior in these matters. To let him suffer further, is merely aiding the Patron, by my understanding. Either fueling Keme's Hope to be spared or stop the Patron, or fueling the Patron's Hope you will hesitate, or fail. This situation is probably much simpler, but I find my thinking over analytical since my arrival to this world. My constant talking is a by product of-"
Anahita falls quiet, perhaps realizing she is blathering.
"What is needed here is mercy. If you wish my help, Fei, though you are obviously not alone with these two here, you need but ask."
While not outright saying she'd help end Keme, she does question the delay if the choice is clear to Fei.
Her attention then turns around to the crater beneath and around them. Under her fire bear rump, small blades of grass and critters are growing at remarkable speed where she makes contact with the ground. Even her mere presence now after the short back and forth, clearly brings a sense of life's energy to anyone sensitive to feel such.
Villem grins at Ardiente's apparent curiosity, where earlier there was just the eagerness to depart.
"A very, luminous and enlightening female. We have learned much, I, especially, by her teachings and instructions. The things ... I have gained, remarkable."
When he speaks of this female, he does sound, quite impressed and respectful.
He does, however, seem to wait on Raelle's next, if any, comments or questions-- seeming to give her the time to ask before speaking.
Raelle had looked away at Ardiente's assertion that they were just friends. It was what she had asked for, so why did it make her feel like crying?
She had seemed alarmed and a bit uncomfortable when Villem started talking about the plane of fire. She had been right not to tell him her name. She didn't want anyone getting any ideas about using Ignace. Of course with everything Ardiente had told him it might not take him much to put the pieces together. Perhaps the earlier events of the evening were just making her overly suspicious of everyone. He didn't seem hostile.
"I am very curious about this woman as well, sir. Could you tell us more about her?" she asked politely.
The cat is quite hefty.... But your muscles are more than adiquate for the almost fifty pound cat....
It sniffs you and purrs...
