"Well, girls, I see no reason why you couldn't be roommates and sit in on classes in both schools."
Rena smiled broadly at that, flapping a wing forward over Ryo's desk and brushing him lightly with the feathers there. "Thank you very much Headmaster. " And then there was a knock at the door, and Rena withdraws the wing, folding it again.
"Asha and I should get out of your hair then, unless there are more details you need?"
Adon walks into the infirmary, and looks around. His arms, the palms and the back of his hand are tightly wrapped in gauze,and his legs seem stiff as he walks. There is stone covering his neck. He sighs, and looks for the least busy staff member possible. Finding no staff member who wasn't so busy he didn't dare to ask about his problem, he sighs, and takes a seat, waiting for whenever a staff member could get to him.
"Th-thank you. It's nice to see someone else who doesn't think that since I'm an agathion, I'm supposed to be helping them... Agathaion can have problems too... Especially me...."
Anahita stood towards the back of the infirmary while Vai did her emotional greeting towards Keme upon his return to the living. Her expression a touch more subdue than earlier, yet, she did peer over at the Kitsune present somewhat.
She did regard both Nala and Ryuzo briefly, recognizing their auras.
After a few moments of study, however, she glanced off as if hearing or seeing something in the distance, smiled, and then seemed to continue observing elsewhere while standing idly in the back where Vai had been previously.
Certainly not an expert with the social skills, or curiosity, it would appear.

A tall skinny man in a white jacket and black framed glasses comes over, "Can I help you?"
Not too long he replied with a smile you look lovely today. he says, commenting on her hearts designs.I was just telling you mom that your whole family has been invited to my home to attend a ceremony. But I'm afraid that your mom and Chara cannot attend. I was hoping that you would be able to attend.
Lang can't help but occasionally admire Ignace today. He seems extra happy at the moment.
"When is this ceremony? Are any of the other students from our class also going?" she asked politely, trying not to look worried at the prospect.
"Hmm? Sure, i suppose. I just need to get the stone off my neck. It's fused with my skin, and I'm not good enough in medical practices to avoid severe bleeding if i were to take it off. I dealt with everywhere else last night."
he holds up one of his gauze wrapped arms.
"Well, I will completely inhibit the aura surrounding you by creating an inversive barrier of magic
Magic can come in but not leave, understand?
This holds your aura inside you, allowing you to interact with others.... and I will make it a talisman so you can use your aura when necessary "
The wearer explains concisely and moderately
"I'm still waiting to hear the price."

he holds up one of his gauze wrapped arms.
*Sigh* "we are open at all hours sir... Even with yesterday's damage...please try not to self medicate yourself again..."
The man asks Adon to come with him behind a curtain
"I'm still waiting to hear the price.""Well, I will completely inhibit the aura surrounding you by creating an inversive barrier of magic

"well.... I desire no money, nor anything you have... so how about you assist me with a problem I get stuck in at a later time in exchange..."
The wearer holds out his hand
"Deal?"
a thought seems to occur to him....
"what is your name?"
"I'm still waiting to hear the price.""Well, I will completely inhibit the aura surrounding you by creating an inversive barrier of magic

"I will not take on or lend aid to any course of action that would betray my principles."
He looks at the offered hand...but does not shake it yet.
"I am Al'rqyq mn Al'kwabys."

Shouldnt be a problem" the man replies simply
"With that understanding, I agree."
He shakes his hand.
"With that understanding, I agree."
He shakes his hand.
"Be careful with my name... Names have power... I am "The Wearer of Masks" and I will attempt to bring you the talisman in a timely fashion."
and with that he turns and drops out of sight... apparently through the forest floor
"When is this ceremony? Are any of the other students from our class also going?" she asked politely, trying not to look worried at the prospect.

But I'm afraid that your mom and Chara cannot attend. I was hoping that you would be able to attend.
Lang can't help but occasionally admire Ignace today. He seems extra happy at the moment.
Lang smiles trying to give Ignace a sense of calm, I am hoping thta everyone can go. but I invited Sara, Midori, Grim, and Sorun. I still have to tell Hew and Zilla. and I wanted to invite Master Blackscales, you know our teacher. The actual ceremony is tomorrow but we would be leaving later this afternoon. for an overnight flight on Simba
Oh you haven't met Simba yet. He is a Giant owl that I took care of since he was first hatched. his whole family lives at the Temple with my family. I really hope you can come ignace. it really means a lot to have you with me. Lang is very sincere in his request for Ignace to attend. even if nobody else can attand He apparently wants Ignace there more than anything.
Lang looks both to Igance and Pyra Please say yes, you'll come Lang has a pleading look in his eyes
Ehos graciously accepts the new datapad with his free hand, immediately displaying a 'Thank you Professor' for Professor Sunwake, before turning it to Jaiye. 'Alright, I'm ready. Should we go talk to your brother? Should I... uh... get some armour or something?'
"No that won't be necessary. This is one of those things that I'm going to have to have to do...first I have to get him to listen to me. There's no chance he'll recognize you as anything more than a hated enemy before I can do that. And when I do...well, you'll have to do something to prove to him you're not weak, though I'm not sure what exactly. We'll have to think of something. It doesn't have to be combat...that's traditional sure, but technically a challenge doesn't have to be combat. It could be an athletic contest. Well, any sort of contest, technically, but generally it's safer keeping things in the physical realm. Requires less rethinking of cultural assumptions."
"With that understanding, I agree."
He shakes his hand."Be careful with my name... Names have power... I am "The Wearer of Masks" and I will attempt to bring you the talisman in a timely fashion."
and with that he turns and drops out of sight... apparently through the forest floor
He merely nods, and looks off, deep in thought.
Thoughts of hope...
"Hmm? Sure, i suppose. I just need to get the stone off my neck. It's fused with my skin, and I'm not good enough in medical practices to avoid severe bleeding if i were to take it off. I dealt with everywhere else last night."
he holds up one of his gauze wrapped arms.*Sigh* "we are open at all hours sir... Even with yesterday's damage...please try not to self medicate yourself again..."
The man asks Adon to come with him behind a curtain
"Oh, i had to learn how. I'm pritty good at it. Just not good enough to feel confident working near a major artery."
he goes behind the curtain.

::perhapse I might be of assistance, I have a few spells that should help in this regard, and as the person primarily responsible I feel duty bound to fix them::
Vai's reaction to Keme's eyes opening is somewhat less subdued than Fei's, rushing to his side and crying "Keme! You're back!" happily, as she enfolds him in a hug, fighting desperately against the rising panic attack in her chest that the hug was causing.
"It worked?! I'm...I'm really back? Uhh....need to breathe here," he said, giving Vai an easy out from the hug since he knew how much she hated physical contact.

"She does have a... somewhat unique perspective. I... am not supposed to intruct her though, as per the Headmaster's... and others', request." He says, somewhat sheepishly, that Grin having not really left his face yet, despite Anahita's harsh words and sudden departure.Aananda looked downright angry, her eyes shifting to a more draconic appearance, her dreamscape image staying on dragon rather than continuing to shift between.
"Ehos, here is your datapad. Vare, I would like you to explain to that girl whenever she comes back that we don't execute people for being sick. It's the virus that's the problem, not the girl...we're here to help children. Not kill them. Just because it's easier to write someone off doesn't make it the right things to do."
"Oooookaaay.....but nothing about that stops you from passing on a message."
"Don't even try. The stone is now part of my skin, so magic won't work on it. I understand your actions, so don't worry about it."
Walks up to Keme, and nods approvingly, then places a hand on his shoulder...then pulls him into an embrace. He holds him for a moment, then regains his regal composure, and steps back.
"It warms my heart to see you, pup."
Ardiente's curiosity is piqued and he peers inside the room, looking around at the eggs. "Well, that is happy news at least. I have more too. Would you like to stay here a little more? I'm heading back out. Raelle and I worked through the night, so the list is considerably shorter, but there's still plenty to do. I can go alone if you'd rather stay with your babies though."
"I can come with. Taron or Kam or Krays will be along soon. After yesterday we're trying to not leave the eggs alone if possible. Would you like to come in and say hello to the babies before we head out? They can't really manage language yet, but they're surprisingly aware of their surroundings considering. And they communicate pretty well even if it is just emotion," she said a touch of pride in her voice as she looked fondly at her children.
Smiles, and a lone tear comes to his eye as he sees his grandson take a breath, and his eyes open. He raises an eyebrow at Vai's reaction, but says nothing. He turns to Nala and bows.
"Thank you, miss. You may call on me anytime for one boon. If it is within my power to grant, I shall."
She smiled, stepping back to give them some space for their reunion.
"I am glad to have been able to help."
"No that won't be necessary. This is one of those things that I'm going to have to have to do...first I have to get him to listen to me. There's no chance he'll recognize you as anything more than a hated enemy before I can do that. And when I do...well, you'll have to do something to prove to him you're not weak, though I'm not sure what exactly. We'll have to think of something.

Well, any sort of contest, technically, but generally it's safer keeping things in the physical realm. Requires less rethinking of cultural assumptions."
::Well, I can do this.:: Ehos says telepathically, having now tucked the datapad away and thanked Phaeze for his intervention in this regard.
And then he steps away from Jaiye, and proceeds to do a standing backflip, landing on his feet again with barely a wobble. ::I might not have the strength of your brother, but I'm willing to bet I could out-agility him.::
"Oh... right, breathing." Vai says, glad to have an excuse to break away from the hug with Keme... though of course, Professor Genosuke swoops in just after she had broken the hug.
"Oooookaaay.....but nothing about that stops you from passing on a message."
"Right. I will see that she receives the message." Vare says, waiting patiently for his fellow Professor to be done her breakfast and other more immediate tasks - breakfast and helping Ehos and Jaiye. He doesn't appear to be in any rush - rarely does he. Aananda might notice though that he is slowly growing more and more flinchy as the cafeteria becomes busier.
"Well, girls, I see no reason why you couldn't be roommates and sit in on classes in both schools."Rena smiled broadly at that, flapping a wing forward over Ryo's desk and brushing him lightly with the feathers there. "Thank you very much Headmaster. " And then there was a knock at the door, and Rena withdraws the wing, folding it again.
"Asha and I should get out of your hair then, unless there are more details you need?"
"Yes, thank you, Headmaster," Asha agreed, eager to get out and explore the school now that her worries had been assuaged.
"I can come with. Taron or Kam or Krays will be along soon. After yesterday we're trying to not leave the eggs alone if possible. Would you like to come in and say hello to the babies before we head out? They can't really manage language yet, but they're surprisingly aware of their surroundings considering. And they communicate pretty well even if it is just emotion," she said a touch of pride in her voice as she looked fondly at her children.
"I would enjoy that, Fieri. Thank you, for trusting me so to be around your children like this." He says soberly, bowing deeply and respectfully to Fieri, no doubt a relic of his old life. "Little cousins." he says with a smile as he enters the hatchery and sits down near to the incubators.
"So... um. Raelle and I are dating now." Ardiente says sheepishly, a somewhat happy-stupid grin on his face there.

"I...am unsure. I had an appointment for a tea party today with Zilla and Midori and Sara and Chara. Also I am concerned about leaving the school. Yesterday...it was most fortunate that no one was hurt when I lost control of my abilities. If Mrs. Blackscales is going then perhaps it would be okay..."
"Celestials are people too."
He responds with a smile.
Walks up to Keme, and nods approvingly, then places a hand on his shoulder...then pulls him into an embrace. He holds him for a moment, then regains his regal composure, and steps back.
"It warms my heart to see you, pup."
"Thanks, Gramps," he said, tearing up a little. "And sorry....for a lot of things. You were right about Esperanza...I thought I knew better. I thought I could do some good...and I did, but that was more in spite of her than because of her."
"I really don't think that's a good idea."
"No that won't be necessary. This is one of those things that I'm going to have to have to do...first I have to get him to listen to me. There's no chance he'll recognize you as anything more than a hated enemy before I can do that.

"That's perfect," she said with an approving smile. "Thank you so much for going through all of this. It means a lot to me."
"That's perfect," she said with an approving smile. "Thank you so much for going through all of this. It means a lot to me."
Ehos smiles back, but then hesitates slightly, frowning. ::I'm going to be a problem for you in the future, if you want to try and change the packs, aren't I? I'm never going to be strong, or be able to show dominance. Elven biology doesn't work that way - it's hard for us to build muscle.::
::I don't mind going through this... but maybe Phaeze is right. He told me that we should have a serious conversation about this stuff.::
::it will cost me almost nothing to attempt, but if you insist, I could insteed cut it away,:: he turns to the healer-intern ::I assume you have some method of cauterizing or otherwise patching up any wounds he may recieve from what I do::
"Actually, that will not be necissary I am currently in posession of micro scalpels and chisels... as well as salves and bandages that will fix the damage that I cause..."
looks to Adon...
"Please lay down"

Lang's smile now nearly gone. Ignace's attendance hingeing on Ephebe's response. But some one was hurt, but not by you
Lang gets up from the table and bows to everyone
I should be going,I need to discuss this matter with Master Blackscales. I am sorry to have disturbed your breakfast time.
Lang then takes his muffin and places it back into the bag and turns to leave. stopping once more at the ddor he turns and bows again thank you for considering my offer

"Look. While i understand why you did what you did, i am uncomfortable around you. Probably because you're the reason a lot of the skin on my body below my neck is ripped off. Just a theory as to why."
he is rather cold in his tone. He doesn't seem hot-blooded, at least.
"I would enjoy that, Fieri. Thank you, for trusting me so to be around your children like this." He says soberly, bowing deeply and respectfully to Fieri, no doubt a relic of his old life. "Little cousins." he says with a smile as he enters the hatchery and sits down near to the incubators.
"So... um. Raelle and I are dating now." Ardiente says sheepishly, a somewhat happy-stupid grin on his face there.
Fieri couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, gosh, yes that does explain the goofy grin. Glad to hear you two worked things out...apparently my little sis is much quicker on the uptake than Jiminy," she added with a wink. "It took him more than a year to figure out that I was the right one for him...I mean, I knew that from the first week. It was so obvious."
"Anyhow, these four are my little ones. My daughter, Solana, and the three boys, Fintan, Aemun, and Gwydion. Kids, this is your cousin, Ardiente. I'd introduce the other seven, but I don't have their names straight yet...we should probably put up nametags or something."
Ardiente has the strangest sensation of several someones trying to talk to him telepathically at once, though mostly it was just an expression of curiosity and happiness.
