"I guess so..."
He goes back to swallowing large amounts of food, trying not to pay attention to the motions of the imp with his blind sense.
the flight eastward continues smoothly. The views from the sky of the Sunrise Mountains is breathtaking, those that don't usually fly find the view amazing and beautiful.
Lang lets Midori continue to hold him. he seems to enjoy her touch, it fills him with confidence, a belief in himself.
all the while he keeps the ever watchful eye on Sara.
Sara is having a fine time piloting Simba. At first she had a hard time not just instructing him by voice, but she has gotten used to giving directions the way Simba was used to.
Loki is less than amused at being trapped.
"If we can get the parts made, I can put it together. I couldn't make the parts, but I know how stuff works enough to assemble it. Or, I could find all the watches I've collected and we could use one of them. Gold and other precious metals are usually pretty receptive to magic, so it wouldn't take much work. My book might have instructions for the transfer somewhere."
He smiles brightly, happy to accept praise from Dave.
With Mel here, Dave happy, and everything being alright for a little while, his world seems to be in a perfect place, even if only for a moment.
He doesn't notice himself start to purr with all of the good things happening.
"I kinda want something harder than gold, but maybe we can find a way of magically hardening it, we can check out your watch collection at lunch"
"My ring is connected to a small demi-plane. Trust me when I say it will take more than lunch to sort through all this stuff and find the watches."
He looks over at Mel being quiet.
"Mel, do you know anything about metal working?"
It's not like her to be so quiet, so he wants to include her.
Mel just looks to tybs like she was suddenly started awake. Huh? a little, well I know the science behind it, never really did any metalworking. what is it your looking for? she asks with a smile, although it is evident in her eyes that she feels like something is missing.
it seemed Mel was trying to not interfere with Dave and Tybs, letting them have their time together.
Time that she was wishing to spend with someone, someone that managed to disappear.
"Or for that matter, know anyone that does and you could call in some favors from?
Mel looks to Dave, she thinks for a minute then its like a light bulb went on. yeah, I think I do, but in truth I owe him a favor, it was him and Raelle, Ginni, and Arthur that saved me yesterday, I really owe all of them. But, I know that they would do almost anything to help me.
Tybalt is happy to stand next to Dave as he and Mel talk shop.
He hears the tone Mel carries, but doesn't want to say anything, as he doesn't want to make it any harder on her than it is.
"Umm....can you tell him that Asha said to tell him thank you for helping her brother? I'd leave a note, but...I don't know how to write," she admitted, blushing.Nurse Person
The nurse nods, eventually stopping Rena's affectionate arm rubbing with a smile, saying, "Certainly. I'm certain when he wakes up he'll be happy to hear that. Classes are starting soon, don't forget to get a healthy meal in before hand."
Unless there's more asked of her, she gets back to her work.
"Thank you," she says before motioning to the others that they should leave. Being in the infirmary always made her feel uncertain and in the way. She was glad not to spend more time there than was absolutely necessary.
Ace clasps David's hand "We're good, more or less"
In response to the Professor's question "Prolonged battle against overwhelming odds sounds fun" Ace says flashing his trademark grin. "Might warm me up to deal with Ginni later"
"The battle of Nankwai Bridge then...you have to defend a bridge against two armies. It is an extremely challenging scenario. Though I should caution you...my onii-chan says that there is no battle nearly as intimidating as delivering an apology to a woman for having behaved badly. So I cannot promise that it will adequately prepare you for that particular skirmish," she said with a hint of humor.
Sil growls a little at the open flirting tween Jai and Ehos, but he says nothing. He's still not 100% ok with her dating an elven prince, but he was warming up to the guy, slowly.
Once Ehos departs, he asks his sister "So, uh, what do I need to do in order to uh, become a student here" Its obvious to her that while he knows he now needs to stay here, her bro is not overly comfortable with the idea.
"After we're done eating we'll head over to the office. Sometimes you talk to the Headmaster, but just as likely we'll get help from the secretary or one of the teachers. We have to fill out the forms and you'll have to pick out which classes you need to take. That's pretty much it. You'll be assigned a room of your own, and once you have your schedule you can start attending classes."
"Well, good to see you all. Um... What are you two talking about?""Hey Vai. You look all bright and stuff. Oh! Do you do that thing too? That's so cool that we're both right here in the same place."
^_^
"It's a long story." Vai says in response to Florence. "A long, you're probably-better-off-not-knowing type of story. But yeah Tybs, there's... alot of us here. You'll be surprised how many." She replies companionably, though her mood turns decidedly more sour when David approached, and then her pointed ears perk slightly and she glances in the direction of... Ardiente and Raelle? Raelle looked like she was crying.
There's something of a accusatory glare at David, before Vai quickly turns on her heel and marches away, making for where Raelle and Ardiente were standing, right in the middle of the cafeteria, approaching from where Raelle could see her with a hand raised lightly to wave if she did.
Hand shake completed, Maya seems to smile in consideration of something or another after Tyrrin speaks.
"Well, the specifics aren't completely ironed out, just yet. Ms. Denulia. Though, most likely the category of Illusion weaving will fall into my portfolio, so to speak, along with what else. Perhaps I could speak to someone about substituting your Basic Arcana, so's to free you to return to your studies. We certainly would not want you to lose out on the opportunity to properly finish up your eduction."
Smiling again, she pulls out the datapad, glancing at it, the screen flashes some illumination in her features, though not visible as to what, then Maya smiles further, looking back towards Tyrrin, with datapad against her chest once more.
"I thank you for your time, just meeting and greeting,...
Tyrrin waves a hand dismissively at the notion of hurrying along her return to classes. "Honestly, teaching is a new experience for me, and I think valuable in it's own right as well."
"Glad to make your acquaintance Professor, I hope to see you around the school." she continues politely, before moving on, continuing in the direction the arrows were guiding her, towards Professor Reading.
"M-my friends....R-rodhas and Joneh....I just found out this morning," she sobbed. "They d-died. In the attack. And they d-didn't come back. It's not fair. They were good people. They just wanted to make their game and have it be something that made people happy...when I first came here Joneh used to make these goofy little finger puppets to make me laugh whenever I was having a bad day trying to get used to this crazy place. And Rodhas used to make up funny stories about the people who were bullies until they didn't seem so intimidating. And now I'll never get to see either of them ever again. And Morrivan went to the infirmary last night. I need to check and see if she's okay. And Ace and Dave got into a stupid fight this morning before I got here and Ace made Ginni so upset she ran out crying. And I need to make sure she's okay.....I don't know who to check on first..."
Ardiente didn't know how he could console her. His mind flashed back a few days ago when their positions had been reversed, and his heart ached slightly at the memory. His own loss was just under the surface, and this threatened to bring it to the fore... but Raelle needed him right now. Needed him to be strong for her, like she had been strong for him.
He wasn't going to say that everything would be okay though, that was a lie. "I know it hurts. Flames above do I know how losing people you care about hurts." He replies, his voice husky with emotion. He had no idea what he was saying, really, just letting the words flow. He hoped that it helped her. "Right now though... right now we should go help your friends. It's good to have something good to focus on. Something living that still cares for you. I know, trust me." he says, gently stroking her hair, trying to soothe. "Let's go see Morrivan first, alright?" he says again, softly, hoping to help Raelle calm down.
Ever so subtly, Ardiente is bending his own body heat to be warmer and warmer, knowing that it would be soothing for Raelle.
"It's not a long list," she said quietly. "And it's two people shorter after Saturday."
"It doesn't always have to get shorter. It can get longer as well. You won me over, and at least a few others in the short time I've been here." Repp says quietly, his intense gaze never having left Ginni's eyes.
"Come on, why don't you sit down?" Repp says softly, finally breaking contact and motioning towards a nice spot of grass. "If you want, I can go up to the school and bring you breakfast, alright?"
"Yes, that's me," she said a bit tersely, continuing to put away the practice swords she was holding.
"Was there something you wanted, ma'am?"
Elsa Emkar falters slightly at Sadie's brusque attitude, apparently quite nervous. Her blonde hair falls slightly in front of her eye, very much akin to Vai when she gets nervous.
"I wanted to introduce myself, and thank you." she continues on despite her nerves.
"I'm Elsa Emkar, Vai's... mother." she says with a rather deep and respectful curtsy. "I understand you played a part in saving not only my husband's and my lives, but also everyone in the village. I wanted to thank you for facing those monsters for our sakes."
"Thank you," she says before motioning to the others that they should leave. Being in the infirmary always made her feel uncertain and in the way. She was glad not to spend more time there than was absolutely necessary.
"Well, that certainly is a relief, isn't it Pyry?" Asha says, unperturbed by the nurse's deflection on her affection, instead turning it back onto the cold Firebird as they exited the infirmary. Stroking his arms and feeling that distinct chill of his body.
"I'm not bothering you, am I Pyry?"Rena asks as they make their way towards the cafeteria, wanting to make sure that she wasn't being offensive in what she was doing.
the flight eastward continues smoothly. The views from the sky of the Sunrise Mountains is breathtaking, those that don't usually fly find the view amazing and beautiful.
Lang lets Midori continue to hold him. he seems to enjoy her touch, it fills him with confidence, a belief in himself.
all the while he keeps the ever watchful eye on Sara.
Midori seems to be growing ever more bold, even peeking glances downwards off the side of Simba, to the valleys below. The terrain certainly was a wonderous sight, especially in the early morning light.
Lily is growing increasingly agitated at the rather loud and offensive conversations on in the bus-shuttle, hoping that they would arrive shortly and she wouldn't have to listen to these ungrateful fledglings and their 'theories'. It was exactly this kind of thinking that was driving Firebirds ever downwards. It was this and that mixed-blood Firebird who had caused the loss of their beautiful home. If only the execution had gone more smoothly, and those Phoebus brats - attractive though they may be - had just left the mixed-blood to die. Not to mention the soot-blooded b#&*%.
Lily does her best to keep up the veneer of stoicism, but she's visibly growing angry, her brow furrowing.
Ehos trots silently back out of the bathroom, his hands having been cleaned of all the remaining glue and the residue from the Solvent, and he heads back over to where the goo guy and the girl were sitting.
Spotting the imp as he approaches, Ehos takes up his datapad.
'Is that the offender?' Ehos asks with a twinkle in his eye.
Mel looks to Dave, she thinks for a minute then its like a light bulb went on. yeah, I think I do, but in truth I owe him a favor, it was him and Raelle, Ginni, and Arthur that saved me yesterday, I really owe all of them. But, I know that they would do almost anything to help me.
"awesome, I mean not the part about needing to be saved, that kinda suck, and I kinda want to know what happened, but the part about knowing a guy who could help"

Lucas puts his hand on her arm, trying to convey that she should remain calm, that they were almost there, he holds it there for a few more seconds before releasing.

Ever so subtly, Ardiente is bending his own body heat to be warmer...
Arthur approaches slowly "hey you guys allright? What's wrong?"
Grim starts to get bored on the ride. He stands up, claws anchoring him to the seat, then unfurls his wings letting himself be blasted back by the wind before going into a dive, and then remains next to the owls.
"Yes but also my familiar so no harm shall come to him unless you wish to meet my steel."
"I... Guess i should go. You're all catching up."
Ardiente didn't know how he could console her. His mind flashed back a few days ago when their positions had been reversed, and his heart ached slightly at the memory. His own loss was just under the surface, and this threatened to bring it to the fore... but Raelle needed him right now.

Ever so subtly, Ardiente is bending his own body heat to be warmer and warmer, knowing that it would be soothing for Raelle.
Her tears slowed and stopped as he spoke words of comfort while wrapping her in warmth. It didn't make everything better. It couldn't. But it felt like it was easier to face when he was there with her.
"Yeah," she said, her voice husky from crying. "You're right. Focus on helping the friends who are still here," she said, nodding as she wiped her eyes.
As she looked up she realized that Vai was standing there and so was Arthur asking what was wrong.
"Ummm...hi, Vai, Arthur. Uh...I just found out this morning that two of my friends d-died in the attack on Saturday," she said, her voice breaking. "One of them was Morrivan's cousin, and I was told she was taken to the infirmary yesterday, so I was going to go check on her. But I was also worried about Ginni. Ace and Dave got into an argument this morning, and I don't know what Ace said, but Ginni ran out of here crying. So we're going to go check on Morrivan and then if there's still time, I need to find Ginni and make sure she's okay too."
"It's not a long list," she said quietly. "And it's two people shorter after Saturday.""It doesn't always have to get shorter. It can get longer as well. You won me over, and at least a few others in the short time I've been here." Repp says quietly, his intense gaze never having left Ginni's eyes.
"Come on, why don't you sit down?" Repp says softly, finally breaking contact and motioning towards a nice spot of grass. "If you want, I can go up to the school and bring you breakfast, alright?"
"Yes, alright. I am hungry. But I don't think that I can face the cafeteria again this morning. Could you bring me a cinnamon roll please?" she asked with the slightest hint of a smile, finally starting to relax.
when Dave sees vai's glare he looks stricken and wonders if it was for anything he supposedly did recently, or if it was for the thrall thing from a few days ago.
"Yes, that's me," she said a bit tersely, continuing to put away the practice swords she was holding.
"Was there something you wanted, ma'am?"
Elsa Emkar falters slightly at Sadie's brusque attitude, apparently quite nervous. Her blonde hair falls slightly in front of her eye, very much akin to Vai when she gets nervous.
"I wanted to introduce myself, and thank you." she continues on despite her nerves.
"I'm Elsa Emkar, Vai's... mother." she says with a rather deep and respectful curtsy. "I understand you played a part in saving not only my husband's and my lives, but also everyone in the village. I wanted to thank you for facing those monsters for our sakes."
"You're welcome for dealing with the monsters, Mrs. Emkar, but I didn't do it for your sakes. I did it for Vai. She's someone important to me so when she asked for my help I gave it. Not the best choice for my personal life," she added with a sigh, "but I did what I felt I needed to. So if there's anyone you should be thanking it's Vai. She came back to rescue you in spite of what happened to her. You know she has panic attacks if anyone other than her family touches her, right? That's how bad it is."
Phaezeriel leaves his quarters and heads for the cafeteria, flying slowly.
"Thank you," she says before motioning to the others that they should leave. Being in the infirmary always made her feel uncertain and in the way. She was glad not to spend more time there than was absolutely necessary.
Nurse Person
Smiling at the students as they leave, the nurse gives a wave and says, "I'll let Malcolm know you and your brother are fine now when hey wakes up. Stay healthy. Come back any time, we're here to help."
Tyrrin waves a hand dismissively at the notion of hurrying along her return to classes. "Honestly, teaching is a new experience for me, and I think valuable in it's own right as well.""Glad to make your acquaintance Professor, I hope to see you around the school." she continues politely, before moving on, continuing in the direction the arrows were guiding her, towards Professor Reading.
"Likewise, most certainly." Maya concludes as she bids farewell to the departing Tyrrin. She gives her datapad a few moments of attention with her finger tip after a wave farewell.
She then heads off with a bemused smile on her face.
Sven Brightedge
As soon as Lucas goes to touch Lily, Sven prepares, though gives Lily a quick glance to determine her state of mind regarding her brother's touch.
He does not reveal much more then his readiness to act.

"Well, that certainly is a relief, isn't it Pyry?" Asha says, unperturbed by the nurse's deflection on her affection, instead turning it back onto the cold Firebird as they exited the infirmary. Stroking his arms and feeling that distinct chill of his body.
"Yeah, I'd feel bad if he was really hurt just trying to help me."
"I'm not bothering you, am I Pyry?"Rena asks as they make their way towards the cafeteria, wanting to make sure that she wasn't being offensive in what she was doing.
"Um, well.. N-No, not really. I've got this necklace thing so you feel nice." He says, trying to pick his words carefully since he wasn't sure what to say.
Having reassured herself that the infirmary was in one piece, and tracked down Dara and Ignace at breakfast to let them know that they needed to go to class today since the nurse's office would be empty, she got a tray of food from the elementary cafeteria and headed down to the isolab with breakfast for her troublesome patient.
"Yes but also my familiar so no harm shall come to him unless you wish to meet my steel."
Ehos rolls his eyes at the threat, a mischeivious grin on his face and still that twinkle in his eye.
'I never said anything about hurting him. If he's gonna play pranks, he needs to be ready to get as good as he gives, that's all I'm saying.' Ehos' grin widens as he displays that message, sparing a glance for the imp.
'And you really shouldn't be so quick with the threats. It's probably not healthy.'
Mel turns to Florence before she leaves. Hey Florence, Thanks for hanging with me this morning. If you want, after classes today I am doing a little sciece experiment, you interested in helping?
** spoiler omitted **
::I will do so, of course.::

Nurse Julie was watching over Morrivan. Seeing all is well with her Nirse Julie escorts her small charge having breakfast with her out. I will send word when Miss Morrivan is ready to see visitors, ok? she says in a soothing tone.
Julie then begins her rounds to check on those that she can before the next crisis arrives.

Mel smiles, nothing too outragous, I am going to collect data attempting to locate the source of a temporal anomoly that I believe may have been present the other day.

"Sounds alright. Sure, why not."
Tybalt gives a slight frown when Vai leaves.
"Mel, you said you had a friend, but you never gave his name. What was it?"
He gives a slight laugh. Mel's mind runs a mile a minute and he's learned that she tends to skip over things sometimes.

Oh yeah, sorry about that, Igni, I think you may know him.
