Sun goes and waits for her to show up he then sits down and asks her to sit as well.
First let me say thank you for being willing to teach Master Lang. He does not know it yet but you are a part his first steps toward his destiny.
Lang, as you may know, is an air bender, and there is no poosible way that he can also be a waterbender, save only one
Sun looks at her hopeing that she understands.
Lang does not know who or what he is, that is why he is here at this school. but he needs to discover his importance on his own it cannot be told to him in a nonchalant sort of way. He just is not fully ready to understand it yet, but he is progressing, and rather quickly I might add.
Sun looks directly at her
Are you prepared to teach The Avatar waterbending?
"hmm I'm not to fond of this empire, it was because of them I don't have a mom and dad, and why I'm here in the first place, just because my dad had something they wanted, and thought that beings inferior to true dragons didn't deserve to have it"
he then shakes his head remembering he's supposed to be playing diplomat in addition to comforting Raelle,
"I know Ace was being an ass but, he's got some degree of reason behind why he feels the way he does, apparently a dragon ate/killed his entire family and village or something, I'm not asking you to apologize or even to forgive him, heck he's unrepentant enough, I just thought it would be a disservice to both of you for you to not know the reason for his jerkiness this time, that way you can hate him with full awareness of the situation" he tries to put on a smile to add levity to the situation as he rubs her back continuing to hug her.
She chuckled softly, relaxing against him. "Yeah, I don't think I'll ever be Ace's biggest fan. But knowing where he's coming from....I guess I can tolerate him if I have to."
She sighed. "Ginni mostly likes him cause she thinks he looks delicious. And the more arrogant he acts the tastier his soul looks. I don't think that's gonna end well. They do this thing in the infirmary where they can sort of make her throw up the souls if she loses it and eats somebody, but it is soooooo gross."

"Wait, what?! You mean those stories are real? I thought it was just some dusty old legend. It's really real?! And he's - "
"Wait, wait, hold up. If he's the avatar shouldn't he be learning from someone....I don't know, important? I mean....it would be pretty bad if I screwed this up, right?"
Lang seems reluctant to inerupt Raelle especially since he really isn't sure what she is referring to.
but when there is an oppurtunity.
Miss Del Sol? How is Chara doing? I still wanted to apologize for yesterday having keeping her away for most of the day.
Lang still feels bad about Dave's ship nad has trouble looking at him.

"Chara's fine. She had a blast yesterday. She likes getting to act like a normal kid once in a while. Even here it's hard on her since there's so much stuff she just can't do."
I assure you that it and him are real, What happened, I don't have the time now to explain but if you are willing some other time I will explain it to you.
as for important...Lang considers you important enough perhaps he sees something in you more than you see in yourself. Don't be afraid just be yourself and perhaps you can learn from each other. The one thing Lang needs more than a teacher, is a friend. Do you think you can be both? Lang believes in you and as such so do I

"Well....I guess if you think it's okay."
Anahita looks up at the tap on her shoulder, there's no indication that the 'intrusion' was in any way displeasing.
She smiles at Ehos, then peers at his notepad with the written notes. She says to him, "Greetings, Ehos. The friend to the winged creature, I remember. Please, if you wish." She would then change from her meditation kneeling to a sitting position, looking him over briefly. Her eyes, which clearly denote intelligence and wisdom for someone so young, consider his facial covering, glance to the pad, then back to make eye contact.
"Did you find the courses you desired, after the orientation?" She asks curiously, glancing about briefly to see what was going on around her.
Ehos plops down across from Anahita in the grass, once again making not a sound despite the heaviness of his sitting. He turns the notepad back to himself and begins writing. Despite the speed of writing, the pen also makes no noise as it scratches along the paper.
After a minute or so, Ehos holds up the notepad again. It is difficult to tell his expression, as just his eyes are visible, his eyes look cheerful, for the most part. The notepad reads: 'Sadly, the classes which would interest me most would be ill-advised. Music theory, song, string instruments are all off-limits for me. Still, I am generally able to enjoy myself in my classes. What about you? What interests you, fair maiden?' Ehos' eyes have a little twinkle in them, and you can tell he's smiling, despite the mask.
Fei nods.
"If there are no major accidents at the Infirmary, I will be able to leave early to make sure it is completed before this evening."
Vai bobs her head excitedly. "I'll make sure to find where I put the harness. See you then." Vai turns to leave, heading towards Sadie, but then turns after a couple steps. "And Fei? I hope we can share many mornings like this one in the future." Blushing furiously, Vai turns back and walks slowly over to her friend and fencing coach, giving herself time for the redness to go away. "Hey Sadie. How's Dara doing?" Vai inquires, knowing full well that the situation probably hasn't changed. It hadn't in four months.
Tyrrin was leaning against the wall just outside the exit to the detention simulator. She had a bone to pick with someone.
Anahita looks around, saying nothing of the 'silence' that Ehos appears to embody.
Reading over the notepad again, she says in response, "You are a musician, or artist, then? I would inquire as to why you are silent, or imposed upon such fashion- but I sense it is for the benefit of others, more than yourself. Would you prefer I wrote you back as well, to keep it balanced between us?" There is a hint of concern in her features, but clearly she's accepting of the self imposed exile.
"Well, to start with," she says while looking around, "I would be most eager to know more of where I am, how the walls can create those arrows as it does, what those," she points at something technological, "are and who made them. Then I would love to know which sun we are floating around, as was told to me earlier, many, many things. This is a completely new life here... so amazing."
She smiles while looking off giving her brief list of things that interest her, before looking back with a hint of color to her face, excited in thought, expressed in features.
Pausing briefly, she then takes off her head dress, revealing a gorgeous, thick, wavy, mid-back length of hair. She appears not to have any odd matter stuck in the hair, nor unappealing scent to it. It slides down to the fullness of it's length and collects quietly about her. With a gesture from both hands, she pushes the hair back to park behind her ears. The head dress goes to her lap, with the glint of sunlight reflecting off the golden/silver chain that is wrapped around her wrist and entwined in her fingers.
Treisdan is walking through the "main" area where most of the students are looking for his friends, to apologize for the events the day before.
Renkai goes to the reception desk, now dressed in an outfit that is brightly colored in reds golds and purples, Renkai's walk is no longer the stealthy quiet walk of someone avoiding attention, but the proud almost bouncy walk of someone who is deliberately seeking attention from any possible source.
She chuckled softly, relaxing against him. "Yeah, I don't think I'll ever be Ace's biggest fan. But knowing where he's coming from....I guess I can tolerate him if I have to."She sighed. "Ginni mostly likes him cause she thinks he looks delicious. And the more arrogant he acts the tastier his soul looks. I don't think that's gonna end well. They do this thing in the infirmary where they can sort of make her throw up the souls if she loses it and eats somebody, but it is soooooo gross."
Dave can't help but wonder as to what that says about himself given that she was interested at him at first "heh, is it bad that I kinda want to see that now? give him some humility and all that? you feeling better?"
"Well ladies I guess I should introduce myself. I am Dom Waverider. My talents lye in arcane music and I'm ok with the manipulation of water." He sounded so proud of his musical talents but he spoke of his waterbending like it was a side note.
They do this thing in the infirmary where they can sort of make her throw up the souls if she loses it and eats somebody, but it is soooooo gross."
Ace nods in understanding "There's a legend among my kind, similiar to what you speak of now. Supposedly, we are the evolution of humans, magickally or divinely enhanced to the pinnacle of human perfection. We were to be kings, princes and lords of all mankind. Its said that didn't sit to well with 'normal' humans, so they enacted a pogrom agaisnt my kind, wiping out all but a very small few." He sighs again "Its a nice story, but I am not sure how true it is. I've even been told I am gonna bring about a golden age for my people. Don't really believe that, either"

Vai bobs her head excitedly. "I'll make sure to find where I put the harness. See you then." Vai turns to leave, heading towards Sadie, but then turns after a couple steps. "And Fei? I hope we can share many mornings like this one in the future." Blushing furiously, Vai turns back and walks slowly over to her friend and fencing coach, giving herself time for the redness to go away.
"There is always another dawn," Fei replies with a smile, bowing as she heads off to talk with Sadie.
Left to his own devices, the young monk carefully makes his way through the crowds (not bumping into anyone and politely excusing himself as he goes) and heads to the Infirmary for his 'shift'.
"Hello ladies, I apologize for scaring you last night, allow me to reintroduce myself, I am Renkai Urmas, Humble mummer of the cities of Freeport and Greenmeadow." (deep bow)
"Hello sirs, are you accompanying these lovely young ladies? Be careful, I think the small one (Rin) will steal your heart like she did the Dark Elf."
He seems very friendly and sincere in his apology

"If there are no major accidents at the Infirmary, I will be able to leave early to make sure it is completed before this evening."
Dara hid behind her the way he always did when someone came to talk to them. He watched Vai warily. He'd gotten a little used to her, but he trusted no one except his sister.
Sadie kept a reassuring hand on her little brother's arm. "The assembly was pretty hard on him. He still can't deal with crowds. It's hard enough with individual people. But sometimes he's willing to play within sight of the other children so that's something."
Dave can't help but wonder as to what that says about himself given that she was interested at him at first "heh, is it bad that I kinda want to see that now? give him some humility and all that? you feeling better?"
She chuckled softly, relaxing against him. "Yeah, I don't think I'll ever be Ace's biggest fan. But knowing where he's coming from....I guess I can tolerate him if I have to."She sighed.

She nodded. "Yeah. Thanks. Sorry for losing my cool and all. I get pretty protective of my family I guess."
"I think you'll find that theory is covered quite extensively in basic arcana. That's pretty much all it is. Advanced arcana gets into more practical studies. Not the best choice for a non-caster. You may find mathemagics most informative as well if you're looking for classes strictly on the theory of magic."
alright, sign me up for mathemagics. any other classes i should take? Is there anything that could help me control and direct my antimagic int something more useful?
Ace nods in understanding "There's a legend among my kind, similiar to what you speak of now.

"A common enough story, Mr. Dalcorgrim, and a common one among our students I am afraid. People fear what is different and lash out to destroy it. But you still haven't answered my question. Though now I have another one as well. How did your ancestors react to the war against them and the people who waged it? And how do you think the dragons would react in the scenario I described?"
"it's ok, family is one of the most important things in this world, it's understandable to be upset on their behalf, and to feel protective of to them."

"That's an unusual ability. I think that would be best done as an independent study overseen by Professor Luminass. We can put it down as Extra Training," he said with a grin.

"woo!" Adon says, obviously exited. "well, i suppose that's it. thank you!"
Roel has been near the desk this entire time, listening to all of these happenings. He bubbles some, almost as if he was boiling, and begins to melt the floor again. "hmm. it seems... I'm not the only odd one. perhaps I should join this... "school"."
He shrugs "I have no idea how they reacted. I don't even know if its true or not. It supposedly happened several hundred centuries ago, maybe even on a different world or plane of existence. As for how dragons would react, I don't know that either. I would imagine fury, anger, rage. What I do know is that what I know of as dragons are not really true dragons. They are known as drakes, lesser cousins for what most people think of as dragons. Old habits die hard however, so when I hear or speak of dragons, I think of and mean drakes. What happened out there with that minotaur, it was a misunderstanding to be sure, though why he felt the need to attempt to attack me over it is beyond me. Thankfully, I am far quicker and no blow was landed. I barely restrained myself as is, I do not if I would have had he actually connected."
Umbri Dragged Rin in Treisden's Direction. "i see you have recovered. Congratulations." the nymph told the taller silver haired male.
"Yes, Sorry for my inability to control myself, but I am better now, He shall never bother us again." Treisdan says as he smiles... "are you hungry Umbriere?"
"wait... Who are you?" Treisdan says as he sees Rin "is she ..... Related to you?"
He shrugs "I have no idea how they reacted. I don't even know if its true or not. It supposedly happened several hundred centuries ago, maybe even on a different world or plane of existence.

Thankfully, I am far quicker and no blow was landed. I barely restrained myself as is, I do not if I would have had he actually connected."
"It would be an extremely good idea for you to adjust and get in the habit of referring to them as drakes then. It will save a lot of grief. It was not a thought exercise. That is the history of the dragons of this world. They are trying very hard to change popular perception of them, to let others see they are not monsters. In addition to offending your classmates, careless speech could be interpreted as a threat. Last year a student participated in an assassination plot against another student who happened to be a dragon because of the lies that have been spread about their kind. She honestly believed that she was doing the right thing. Whether it's that it can be misinterpreted that you mean them harm or your words help someone else believe their hatred is justified and leads them to try to harm dragons it is equally bad."
"And it was already explained to the minotaur student that what is culturally acceptable among minotaurs is not appropriate behavior here. I do not think you will have another such problem with him."
Roel has been near the desk this entire time, listening to all of these happenings. He bubbles some, almost as if he was boiling, and begins to melt the floor again. "hmm. it seems... I'm not the only odd one. perhaps I should join this... "school"."
"Well, you're more than welcome to enroll. Er....do you need help filling out the form? I'm a bit concerned it might dissolve."
"Ummmm...." "i'm just an associate..." "you may call me Rin, i'm a street performer released into Umbri's care for a few minor transgressions."
"i am Hungry, and Rin is not related to me, but she was a former classmate in my previous school who got into a bit of of trouble." Umbri answered.
of course miss, I am sorry, I saw you two holding hands so I assumed that the two of you were... more than friends, My apologies" the words flow from his tongue like silver
"is that the place they have set up for scheduals?" he says pointing
"I think that to not disturb the people with...... weaker stomachs.... should we relocate to another area?" Treisdan asks as he looks at the brightly garbed figure with Rin
"we should Relocate." Umbri answered. "as to prevent the grossing out of others."
"Would you like to accompany me Ms. Rin? You look like you know what to do." Renkai asks as he holds his arm out for her, "I will watch her and see that she comes to no harm..."
"Ummmm...." "Can we visit the lost and found? i need some more clothes." Rin Requested, effortlessly releasing her wrist from Umbri's Grasp.
Grins at her, "I can help with that...Wait...are we allowed to leave the school...."
leans in close
A small pinprick of bright flame can be seen some distance from the school, flying low the ground. Raelle immediately recognizes it as a firebird in bird form, though it has yet to come close enough to pick out individual features.
"okay then, where should we go?" Treisdan asks as Rin extracts herself from Umbri
Catching up to the girls. Dom greets the boy. "Hello there I'm Dom." He reaches his hand out to Treisdan. "I'm not so sure I want to know why you are worried about weak stomach so I'll leave that alone." He laugh a bit. "I'll keep Rin, was it, company."
Turning to Rin. " I too was raised in a family of street performer I believe that is why I have gained such skill with an instrument. Tough there is always more to learn. I have yet to be very inspiring with my arcane performances."
"it's ok, family is one of the most important things in this world, it's understandable to be upset on their behalf, and to feel protective of to them."
She smiled at him warmly. And then frowned as something caught her eye.
"I don't know if I should be impressed by that guy's stunt flying or worried about what could be wrong to cause them to fly so low," she said, pointing out the fiery speck.
Anahita looks around, saying nothing of the 'silence' that Ehos appears to embody.
Reading over the notepad again, she says in response, "You are a musician, or artist, then?

Ehos listens attentively, smiling when he suggests writing back, dismissing the notion with a shake of his head. He shifts slightly in his seat. Then she lets her hair loose. It really WAS his lucky day. Such beauty!
Ehos immediately begins to scribbling once again, as soon as she is done speaking. Were Anahita an impatient person, this would likely be an extremely frustrating experience, speaking with someone who has to write back. Once again, the notepad is head up, on a fresh page. It reads: 'You are indeed correct about my silence. Any sound I make is possibly deadly to those who hear it. My... mask ensures that I make no such sound. But please, speak freely. As for all you wish to learn, I get the impression that you are not a native of Agartha, this planet. Though some of what you saw is magic, much of it is a type of machinery, though the details are so small it sometimes boggles the mind. The piece over there' 'is an irrigation system for this garden. It ensures all the plants of the garden receive an adequate supply of water and nutrients. You are at the right place to learn these things, and I hope I can assist you in whatever way you find pleasing.' Anahita may have noticed how Ehos' stare lingers a little too long. He can't resist, how could any mortal? ;)
Shakes Dom's hand (his hand is slightly rough, Like stone building rough) "that is not my secret to tell Dom, It is hers"
"well, the restrooms aren't an option, i'm sure you don't wish to see the infirmary any time soon, how about the garden?" the nymph offered.
That is perfect" he says taking her hand (arm if she pulls away) and begins to walk away, leaving Rin alone with the minotaur the bard and the noble(ish)
Bradley looked nervously around the room.
"Really? I mean, usually people don't want me to touch things...Hey, what does this do?" he asked pointing to a button. He tripped over his untied shoelace as he stepped closer to the panel and fell into a different panel which shorted out, sparks flying everywhere.
"Whaa! I didn't mean to do that!" he said, accidentally flipping a series of switches on another panel as he backed into it getting away from the sparks. Outside the window one could see a large ship suddenly change course and crash into another ship with its same markings. "I...I really didn't mean to do that!" he said wide-eyed.
As Bradley's simple actions star a cascade affect warning lights wink on and just as fast short out, sirens hoot and toot around the room then seem to fizz out to duller sounds the the system that look after them fail, soon half the power banks are winking on and off worryingly. outside the feel can be seen in disarray, as ships now try and countermand erratic orders from the control center. The Enemy fleet seeing its chance trike with deadly force.
Rosa smiles and says.
"Freeze SIM"
All is now still and silent.
"MIND tell me what he did"
"Its astonishing, your little student there seems to have coursed 5 simulations system losses that starts 18,427 and counting, the number ws still going up. I was put total fail at 5.6 to 8.1 minuets time from 1st contact buy the subject, and one more thing Rosa, what ever you do, do not let that boy any where near me"
once the SIM mind is done Rosa looks at Bradley.
"You have a most powerfull gift Mr Bradley Urquardht, in the right place at the right time you could win a war, but and this is the kind of BUT that wars are won with, getting you into this room at the right time would be near to impossible. But telling you that was not the point of this SIM, no what I want to tell you is this. Your probability manipulation has direction, in the negative yes, but more to the point, negative from your point of view, this means your mind has some control over it, at a base subconscious level that you are unaware of. But this gives me hope, you see even hidden as it is, your mind has some control, and to make this gift of yours work for you, you need to find a way to bring that control up to you conscious mind. How I have no idea, the other staff would be the best for that or someone who has knowledge in this area. Ask around, see who can help you take control of your gift Mr Bradley Urquardht. Because if you gain control, your would be a most powerful gift, you could brake any system, make another fail when they should succeed, do what is probably impossible."
Rosa moves to the door,
"Mind SIM off"
The room becomes empty once more.
"Mr Bradley Urquardht good luck with finding a way to control your gift, I wall be happy to send my test results to any teacher you talk to about this and have a nice day, you may go now."
The door opens Rosa smiles at him.
