"Hello Umbri," Balamor said as he saw her.
the sylph grabbed the half vampiric nymph's hand and followed her.
"i was just about to escort my new roomate to our room. but we can talk for a brief bit if you wish." Umbri commented, "i need to keep a close watch on the Vagabond here." the nymph was hinting at the green haired sylph holding her hand. "i wouldn't recommend searching for your apple, i think it might be gone by now."
"Figures," he mutters, "Do you think maybe the three of us could walk through the gardens for a bit?"
"i guess." Umbri answered, "if i can convince this adorable little thief to come with me." the nymph teased.
"I'd be nice to walk with you two," he said, "and hopefully I won't do anything stupid."
"there is a difference between frivolous theft and merely stealing to survive." the green haired sylph answered with an embarassed blush. her azure feathered, wispy falcon began speaking in a strange tongue.
Mistress Rin, your anxiety is my anxiety as well. we really need to make this walk brief.
"great, I'll see you tomorrow I guess? what do you teach anyway?""I used to teach PE and mechanics, but my other responsibilities became too much. Mostly I'm in charge of school security. And I have a few independent study students in need of specialized guidance."
"cool, I'm going to head on then, have a nice night,"
he then heads on to the library casting unseen servant and calling skeets to him to help him carry all of the books he grabbed, and heads on to where the boat is found. after about 6 castings of limited wish to get all of the holes and fixed without messing up existing enchantments and all other damage to the ship itself the spell could fix and putting up symbols of sleep instead of the other damaging enchantments, making sure to wish that he could change who they affect, exempting him skeets, Raelle and Aanandareavekki from triggering them, he then fixes the levitation charms and starts examining the healm and referencing the books, delegating skeets to anything of the busy work that remained, he alarms the door to the workshop, and then the walls as an afterthought and then alarms the door to his room finally gets to his bed and after offering up his prayrs to Mystra goes to sleep with skeets and the unseen servant doing minor repairs such as cleaning up and putting the cannons back in place and keeping watch

The first time he tries to cast 'limited wish' he is hit with a burst of antimagic.
"I'm sorry, Dave. I can't let you do that," [i]Aananda said over the loudspeaker. "You need to actually do the work. Relying on magic leads to the sort of sloppy mistakes that lead to problems down the line. You're going to have to show me that you know what you're doing before you can take shortcuts."
he looks around "it's for the holes!, stuff I can do " come on! this'll take days off of the work and this is the boring stuff!, I want to get to the part I saw in this book, it looks really cool!"
he looks around "it's for the holes!, stuff I can do " come on! this'll take days off of the work and this is the boring stuff!, I want to get to the part I saw in this book, it looks really cool!"
"Homework and interesting rarely go well together. Show me you know what you're doing. You need to fix at least one of the holes by hand to my satisfaction before you're cleared to use magic for repairs."
"Shall we go ladies," he asked, offering them each a hand.
When the latest 'disturbance' unfolded in the Cafeteria, Fei did his best to help evacuate the room while Vai went to aid Ryleh. By the time he makes it back in to assess things, the situation appeared to have been handled. With one glaring exception...
Vai stalks over to Ace, her nostils flared in anger and her wings splayed out to make the small half-elf look larger. "What were you doing?! Are your ears malfunctioning?" Vai snarls, completely out of character. Ace would probably think she's being pretty unfair, singling him out despite the amount of other people in the room who probably should've also left. "Grandmother told you to leave."
Ace actually grins at Vai's upbraiding. "Doll, I stayed cuz I felt I could be of use. Sometimes being the best means you gotta ignore people. Sides, your Grams was lookin to protect me, but I was never in any danger. Its cute that you're worried about me though" he says, flashing his best, most winning smile.
"Maybe because you haven't been at Avalon very long, or maybe you're just stupid, but it's well known that when Professor Ryleh tells you to do something, you do it." Vai was quaking with rage. Ace's laidback attitude had done nothing to improve her temper. It was hard for the girl to seem intimidating, despite her anger.
The young monk comes up quietly, standing to the side of both students so he is plainly visible, but within arm's reach of Vai.
"Is...everything alright?" he asks her, concern flavoring his otherwise serene tone as he observes the expression and body language of the other student.
"Shall we go ladies," he asked, offering them each a hand.
"Ummmm...." "yes... mister ummmm....." "what's your name?" the superstitious and anxious sylph asked. her wispy azure falcon mirroring her anxiety. she grabbed the drow's free hand as she held Umbri's hand as well.

Ace smiles again at the pretty girl, easily picking up her mood "Sorry to have ignored ya babe, situation was kinda critical, ya know? Had to go with my gut, which was 'i'm the best in the world, stay n help'. After all, when you're as good as me, you can't just walk away when things go crazy"
"Shall we go ladies," he asked, offering them each a hand."Ummmm...." "yes... mister ummmm....." "what's your name?" the superstitious and anxious sylph asked. her wispy azure falcon mirroring her anxiety. she grabbed the drow's free hand as she held Umbri's hand as well.
"Sinspinner, my name is Balamor Sinspinner."
"you can call me Rin." the anxious Sylph introduced herself. unaware of the drow's curses.
"It is nice to meet you Rin," he said with a smile.
"i'm ummmm....." "a street magician......" "yeah!" "i'm a street magician" the anxious sylph answered.
he looks around "it's for the holes!, stuff I can do " come on! this'll take days off of the work and this is the boring stuff!, I want to get to the part I saw in this book, it looks really cool!""Homework and interesting rarely go well together. Show me you know what you're doing. You need to fix at least one of the holes by hand to my satisfaction before you're cleared to use magic for repairs."
"Fine, fine, geez, I'll fix one of the stupid holes" he grumbles a bit about stupid airhead monks "does that mean skeets can't help... he doesn't have normal hands..."
"I am a source of bad luck and a master of shielded combat."
A small man, heads towards the doors of the academy. his stealthy walk makes him unseen, the only signs of his progress is a moving bush, a couple of folded blades of grass, a bent branch...
"well..." "Ummmmm..." "i hope you don't hex me anytime soon." the sylph commented as she walked with Balamor and Umbri. "any way i may appease the unlucky spirits that surround you?" she asked in a curious yet anxious voice.
"He..." Vai began, but immediately faltered. Ace used this gap to boast, but the wind had been taken out of Vai's sails, and the anger was bleeding away, especially with Fei's calming presence. "I..." then, as though she had just realized what she was doing, Vai's eyes widened. "I'm sorry, I... I don't know what I was so angry about. Um.. sorry." she takes a step back, away from Ace, lowering her head in apology. Some hair falls in front of her face, blocking one eye. Her other eye looks a little glassy, as though she was fighting tears. What am I doing?

Fei's internal concern grows a bit as he interposes himself between Vai and the other student, cutting off direct line of sight between the two.
"It appears that the situation has been resolved, with minimal damage or injury. I think it best that we heed Madame Sunwake's instructions and exit the Cafeteria now," he says to Ace with a small bow.
"Its ok. You were worried, whether about me or others, its fine. Plus, you were just doing as you're told, by your grandmother apparently? Whose some sort of powerful woman, I'm guessing. No need to be upset."
"And definitely no need to cry. Its alright, I promise"
Ace doesn't like that a young girl is tearing up, even if he didn't do anything wrong per se
"well..." "Ummmmm..." "i hope you don't hex me anytime soon." the sylph commented as she walked with Balamor and Umbri. "any way i may appease the unlucky spirits that surround you?" she asked in a curious yet anxious voice.
He laughed, "They'll hardly bother you, its mostly me they are attached to."
"then i best be careful to appease them while i am within your presence." the sylph answered.
"There is no way for you to appease them, they're purely chaotic and love to mess with my head," he said, side stepping as a branch as it fell where he'd been standing.
"i figure his spirits have a short radius surrounding himself." Umbri whispered to the sylph. she continued the whisper "the worst that'll happen to you is maybe, an inconveniently embarrassing skirt flip."
"Over the wall...They would never know what hit em..." he mutters
moves up the wall like a ghost looks down on the gardens where three figures are talking
"Is this Avalon?" he asks... Even loud his voice sounds like a whisper

Balamor tried not to hear what had been said, but couldn't due to his uncanny hearing.
Valiste touches the wall after making his way through the halls, half trying to find his way to the sim room, and half sure he didn't get lost on the way.

"yes, this is Avalon." Umbri answered. "like my superstitious winged green haired friend in the minidress with anxiety issues. you must also be late new arrival." Umbri answered, describing about the sylph holding her hand.

Flips easily down landing without a sound then bows overextravagently, knocking back his hood.
"Yes I am...I am Renkai, man of many professions."
He is about the same height as Umbri, and carries a black satchel, as well as a belt with a bunch of pouches, and from what you can see... Carries no weapons

"you may call me Umbri, and the girl i described next to me, you may call Rin."
