He hasn't taken his face out of your shoulder yet.
"But you can still get hurt and I don't want that to happen to you. Especially not because of something I did."
He takes his face up and removes his arms as Dom speaks.
"OK. We'll wait here."
He sits on his shins next to Dave as Dom goes into the room.
When he isn't guarding Tybs' emotions are more or less on his sleeve.
You can tell that he is thinking about whether or not to say something.
"I'm fiiiine, almost nothing can really hurt me"
Upon seeing the figure was merely the postmaster Advaran removes his finger from the trigger and holds the weapon over his bag, plucking out a single bolt and making the whole thing fall to bits. "Well, aside from almost vaporizing a post officer I'd say that went pretty well."
:)
Royston stands and waits.

Phaezeriel steps inside, quietly waiting for Ryleh and knowing better than to interrupt a scrying in progress.
Once she is free for a moment, he bows deeply to her, ::Lady Ryleh, according to Vai, we are short on time. I must apologize for being abrupt, but are you ready?::
Once they are finally outside, Silinrul seems to visibly relax and even breathes a small sigh of relief "It is good to be back outside." His wolf pads quietly beside him, while his raven is perched on his shoulder. It looks to him, chirps a few times then flies off. "He's going to look for some food." The Lycan says by way of explanation.
As they walk, birds of all different sorts fly around him for a few moments, each trilling away, and he responds in kind to them all. "Tell me Jai, what have you been doing since you left me?"

The 'postman' stands attentively to the side of Ryo as the Headmaster opens the letter. It is indeed from whom he suspects..
'To High Seer Antarius:
I hope this letter find you well, and that my little prank has not caused you undue stress. I know how it cna accelerate you humans' age so.
Since you have yet to take my advice to hire a scribe to assist you in your day-to-day dealings, I have put forward the coin, as promised. The man who delivered this letter is Irnan Quillblood, my most talented and gifted scribe. His wages are paid up to the end of the year. He ought to prove an invaluable asset to you. He is at your service.
Signed,
High Seer Faelwen Denulia'
"Well I'm going to let Tami know something was trying to get in the room. Since we don't know if it was just trying to watch my night activities or if it was after her. Figure it will be best to let her know." Dom then makes his way back in to the room.
Stepping in to the room. Dom looks around to make sure another didn't slip in while the other occupied them out side. Then looks to his beloved. "Tami are you ok in here?" Dom looks slightly worried for her though he didn't really think anything got in.
Tami had her belt, with all of its pockets full of mystery powders, in her hand looking tense.
"I'm fine. What was going on out there? It's not another attack, is it?"
"I don't think it was suppose to be an attack. Probably more of information gathering. Ether way it was only a plant creature thing. I swear if someone was just fooling around they need a real talking to right now is probably the worst time to be doing crap like that." This was one of he few times Dom sound serious. Snapping out of that demeanor he continues on. "I doubt there's any more of them but to be safe I think I'll have the others wait with me outside till your ready." A loving smile grows across his face.
"I don't understand it either," Ignace said."It just doesn't make sense to me.""I'm sorry I can't help. I don't know this feeling. Animals like me, but that's different."
She shuffles her feet as she speaks, looking down at the floor with Cariban held to her chest.
"Well I can't say it's the same for everyone but for me it would make me feel pretty." Slowly she pulls back from the hug she gave Ignace. "Too bad it seems no one feels that way about me." She admits with a slightly depressed tone.
::I.. I can't quite remember...:: She replies slowly, trying to remember her name. She had always tried to remember it... ::Ad... Adina Eyvendr! Yes, that's it! I do not think I would be a danger. If I was supposed to do something, I have surely forgotten it...::
Knowledge: Planes
>> Greetings to you and well met, Adina Eyvendr. I shall attempt to aid you. Can you share with me the date you last recall? <<
Anahita will demonstrate no impatience physically, while her voice telepathically is clear, and apparently nothing like her vocal manner from earlier.
Carl fires up the elemental drive, the sound shudders out ove the landing field, an out 5 times that of the sleek new shuttles from Jiminys plant. Heat blasts out of funnels, and the back hold ramp comes up. Carl places the off punch cards in a locked case he uses for radioactive substances, then laps it on the lock up.
"Tinman we have a clear to take off, give me lock for teleport to ship"
"But it did. There's a hole in your chest..."
He sits in a submissive posture, sitting on his heels, hands held together in his lap, face towards the ground, ears down out to the sides, tail gently switching back and forth.
Lang makes his way to Ephebe's office where Midori is (at least according to the arrows).
Lang knows better this time than to interrupt, so instead of just entering he knocks lightly. Hoping that they will know he is waiting outside.
hearing Hermes let them know it is nearing time to return.
Mel turns to Raelle. I'm working on shuttling firebirds from the sun before it gets dismantled. (which I really don't understand why, but what can I do.) anyway, you wanna come along with us? maybe you could help with some of the younger ones when they get scared and stuff. besides It will get you out of here for a bit.
"Look again, see, no hole,"
Was talking ta raelle ya know her... the hot one
>> Greetings to you and well met, Adina Eyvendr. I shall attempt to aid you. Can you share with me the date you last recall? <<
Anahita will demonstrate no impatience physically, while her voice telepathically is clear, and apparently nothing like her vocal manner from earlier.
She pauses again to think, but while no specific date comes to mind, she does recall an event.
::I was.. six when my mother and father told me we were moving to a new home. The mean dragons wouldn't find us there, they said. I don't know how many people came with us to this world, but there were far to many to count. Ten years later, in the Schola de Magia, an experiment my fellows and participated in went wrong and I ended up here. Those are my clearest memories.::

"She has quite the sense of humor." He chuckles, putting the letter away after reading it. "welcome to Avalon, Mr. Quilblood. Accommodations will, of course, be made for you. Is there anything in particular that you need?"
He looks up and pads at Dave's chest.
"What? How?"
He paws at your chest gently, a little longer than necessary.
"I regenerate, there is only one substance that can bypass it, and I haven't seen much of it around here, which is nice, so like I said don't worry"
"But... I do worry. You're important to me...and I..."
He trails off before finishing the statement.
"And you are important to me, and so is Dom and all the rest of our friends, and I can't stand the thought of anyone hurting the people who are close to me,
She pauses again to think, but while no specific date comes to mind, she does recall an event.
::I was.. six when my mother and father told me we were moving to a new home. The mean dragons wouldn't find us there, they said.

A brief nod in understanding, and a way of acknowledgement at the shared information, the Anahita sends telepathically, >> I suspect we are either in, or within an Ethereal plane of existence. I shall remove us to the Prime Material via a spell, where there is a school for such studies. Perhaps then you can return to your family, friends and life away from here. I shall escort you to the Headmaster, so you might determine with his assistance, what you wish to do next. <<
That said, Anahita invokes her Arcane magic again and casts Plane Shift, while touching Adina, transferring them to the Prime Material, where they stood in Avalon's halls.
Presuming it works, Anahita would then telepathically speak again.
>> Many of the beings in this school are of different species and places, be prepared to witness such. Many also possess the gift to speak as we are now, so until you are able to speak, or perhaps cast a similar spell, there should be a means to converse. Welcome to Avalon. <<
With the belief that this would occur without issue, Anahita would be guidie Adina towards the Headmasters office while giving her the basic instructions on use of arrows and essential facilities; infirmary and cafeteria.
>> Do you have any questions of me? I shall seek to answer as best I can. <<
Of course, that all depended on their return, naturally...
"Ya... friends..."
Jericoh squeaks something that Tybalt seems to understand.
"You're right..."
"Uh, Dave I think that I uh."
"I think that I like you. Like, like like you..."
He keeps his eyes down, afraid to look you in the eyes.
Dave's face freezes* "uh... .... ... Wanna run that by me again..."
*
"On my first day here, you were the first person I met. And then we were friends and then roommates. And you were with Raelle and I was with Johnny, but even when that was happening, I think I still felt like this. You protect me and look out for me and. And I care for you. And I think I like you as more than a friend. I don't care if you say no and I don't care if this ruins everything. I can't help the way I feel and I feel like I really like you David De'Foul."
He looks up and looks you in the eyes now.
Every word he says is heartfelt and you can feel it in his eyes.
"If there are that many suns, why isn't everything hotter? It should be, right?"
"Well, light and heat take time to travel Pyry, and the stars are very far away. The stars in the new sky are /all/ suns. Every pinprick of light up there? It's own sun." Tyrrin continues to discuss her passion eagerly.
"Yes there are other girls who like girls. Like you," she said with an encouraging smile. "I'll see if either Morrivan or Sadie have some time to talk with you. They've already been through all of this confusion, so they can talk to you about what that's like."
"I know you don't want to hurt Ignace. Neither did Lang. But there will be times when you get caught up in your own feelings. It's just important to remember that she needs more time to catch up. She's just starting to actually make progress again after a long time of hiding. And as long as you don't try to force her to acknowledge romantic feelings, there's no reason at all that you can't be near her as her friend. Patience can sometimes be a very important skill when you have feelings for someone. And at your age, there isn't necessarily a lot of point to these feelings yet. You don't need to be in a hurry to grow up,you know."
"Oh... Morrivan-senpai is Lang-kun's waterbending teacher, ne?" Midori says eagerly, looking hopefully towards her sensei.
The young kunoichi shakes her head, causing the black hair to cascade slightly, though it does not shimmer, the same matte colour it has been since Midori's arrival. "That's okay sensei... it's still very confusing for me anyway. Like when Hew-kun tried to kiss me. I didn't understand and it scared me."
Midori glances at the door at the light tapping, curiously. At very least, she's no longer upset, but definitely still a girl just on the cusp of puberty - confusing times those!
Belyu arrives soon after, twirling a pair of short swords to get a better feel for them. She sheathes them when she sees Vai and walks over.
"Hey, Vai, I'm ready when you are."
"Thanks guys." Vai says finishing the preparations on the Starcrasters, and beginning to hand them out. They are about the size of a watermelon, made entirely of metal, with a screen for inputting co-ordinates and other calculations.
"I really appreciate you guys coming through for me like this." she says earnestly. "We're just waiting on Phaeze and Anahita, and my Grandma.. Professor Ryleh, to let us know if there's anything to worry about."
In the gardens a lizard climbs up the bark of an ancient tree, the lizard's grey skin nearly indistinguishable from the iron grey sky...
Storm clouds are gathering...
Reed gazes into the sky at the clouds, "A storm approaches, yet I cannot figure out if it is a good thing or not. The land needs the rain, but some of these plants cannot survive if it rains too hard, I shall watch and do what is needed."
"Um wow... You have" he coughs " really put a lot of thought into this... This is kinda sudden" Dave looks overwealmed but not exactly rejecting.
It starts to get warmer in the room
"Should I wait here to see if he comes back?"
Vare pauses, and turns back, thoughtful for a moment. His hand goes to his chin in his typical manner, missing the beard still. "I... Rena ought to stay with you. If there /is/ someone on the loose who is able to hide from the wards, then Rena might..." Rena might be the one enchanted next. Or him. He needed that spell... but he didn't have time.
"Asha, I am going to shield you against mental attacks to the best of my ability. Rena will go to Ephebe and see if she can discover what Tryko'Sam learned that is so troubling. Alright? If you could touch my hand when I am done with the casting. I do not know your form very well." He finishes evenly, then immediately brings his ring-adorned hand up, touching it with his other hand, and begins to intone the words of a spell.
"Vare... are you sure we should split up?" Rena asks, twisting her braided hair worriedly. Developing humanoid habits already! "I know we've been in worse scrapes before.. but we always stuck together."
"And we'll be together again soon, but we need to act quickly right now. Tryko'Sam might be a danger to everyone on this planet if he can Gate at will." Vare says seriously, looking fondly to Rena.
Once they are finally outside, Silinrul seems to visibly relax and even breathes a small sigh of relief "It is good to be back outside." His wolf pads quietly beside him, while his raven is perched on his shoulder. It looks to him, chirps a few times then flies off. "He's going to look for some food." The Lycan says by way of explanation.
As they walk, birds of all different sorts fly around him for a few moments, each trilling away, and he responds in kind to them all. "Tell me Jai, what have you been doing since you left me?"
Ehos grimaces at the way that question was phrased, making a face. Jaiye hadn't /left/. She had been driven away, and Silinrul had done nothing to stop it. Still, he doesn't hold up his datapad to display anything, walking silenty beside Jaiye and holding her hand.
::Thanks for what you've done already Phaeze. It really does help me, and I appreciate it.::
"Well then, shall we be going?" Repp says after the intrusion has left, stepping forward to lead the way, if Ginni, Kitty and Michael seem apt to follow after.
In the gardens a lizard climbs up the bark of an ancient tree, the lizard's grey skin nearly indistinguishable from the iron grey sky...
Storm clouds are gathering...
As they go inside to get some food Chen, Lea and Sun notice the storm clouds.
we should consider leaving soon if we are to beat the storm, otherwise we will have to wait it out. Chen says
Sun glances skyward I think you are right. my guess is Lang will going alone I don't think any of the others are ready for the journey. Sun replies.
"Yes there are other girls who like girls. Like you," she said with an encouraging smile. "I'll see if either Morrivan or Sadie have some time to talk with you. They've already been through all of this confusion, so they can talk to you about what that's like."
"I know you don't want to hurt Ignace. Neither did Lang. But there will be times when you get caught up in your own feelings. It's just important to remember that she needs more time to catch up.

from outside the office shortly after the knocking. Lang's voice can be heard.
Master Blackscales? Its me, Lang. can you please let Midori know I would like to talk to her?
Lang hopes that he is herd and he waits patiently outside her office.
The heat in the hall is almost matched by the cold. Apparently the kitty is as scared as you are thrown off. Water starts to condensate on the ceiling from the varying temperatures.
"I really haven't. I'm scared out of my mind to say this right now and I'm really just saying everything in my mind as it comes."
He's back to not being able to look you in the eyes.
He runs his paws down his tail nervously.
Somewhere off in the jungle a monkey eats a bug
"Let's just uh take a step back and think on this for a while, no sense rushing into things..." His face suddenly darkens and the fluxation in temperature increases dramatically "you said this started back when I was still daiting Raelle.... Back when you... Back when I was mind controlling people... Controlling you..."
"She has quite the sense of humor." He chuckles, putting the letter away after reading it. "welcome to Avalon, Mr. Quilblood. Accommodations will, of course, be made for you. Is there anything in particular that you need?"
"An office would be greatly appreciated, High Seer, as well as all the necessary tools of the trade. My family have been scribes many long years. I hope that I continue to develop my art while I am here." The scribe replies with a measaured, respectful tone, having now thrown back his hood to reveal glorious long blonde locks that the hood had been concealing. He carries none of the sneer he had earlier with Royston. Measured confidence is his suit.
"I thought you would say that. It started then and it may have started out this way. But I still feel this way now. And the the thing Johnny gave me doesn't let people into my mind. This is all me, whether I understand it or not..."
The temperature change is countered. This time consciously. He was uncomfortable without his amulet in the heat, but didn't want to mess anything up by criticizing Dave.
