The constant movement coupled with the fact you said he was throwing you off makes him decide to drop to the ground and slither over to the dream veiweroh alright i just give up, your not getting tighter at least
Lang looks to vare {if he's still there) Sorry about the snake thingg I guess he actually does just like me.
anyway I was practiceing my waterbending I need to get these basic forms down
Lang tries to return to his stance and recreate the waves
[dice=concentrartion check DC 15]1d20+13
Lang has a bit of trouble concentrating with the snake but he does manage to complete the form, though the result is much smaller than he had hoped
well at least I don't have a monkey ...err...baboon...on my back
Lang turns around to make sure Sun isn't about to pounce.
Whoops...oh well...you move too much....
The mostly immobile warm warm blood would be a much Better warming place
Anahita nods and gives a cursory look over Ehos' face and outfit, before reading his data pad.
"I was just asking Bradley here a lot of questions about his life, family and the like. I think we've learned quite a bit about his ill fortune and possible next steps to study it further." She will then introduce the two, not assuming they know one another.
"What of yourself, Ehos? How do you fare this evening? I'm not sure if Bradley here is tired of my company, but I can be fairly ..demanding, I suppose, when focused on a subject that catches my interests." She drinks some more water, having given Bradley a look to see whether or not he was tired of interacting.
Anahita will note that Ehos' is a little disheveled - hair, clothing - as if he had simply thrown his clothing back on a haphazard manner. Anahita will probably easily make the connection as to what transpired, especially when she spots a bite mark on an uncovered portion of Ehos' neck. He seems particularily wary of Bradley, as if the lad would explode at any moment. This reaction doesn't seem too out-of-place though, considering what Anahita had witness with Bradley.
Ehos is also carrying a tray of food, enough for two, in one hand (the other being required to hold the datapad). Rather dangerous, and he sets the tray down on the table after having come over. Now better able to grasp the datapad, Ehos facilitates the introduction with Bradley by introducing himself... even though everyone knew Bradley. 'My evening has been' there is a brief pause while Ehos searches for the correct word. 'enjoyable, thank you Anahita. You sound like you've had a more productive evening than me though.' Anahita may also note that Ehos seems to have lost his 'wandering eyes'. His eyes do not trail off to examine her curves or otherwise be lecherous. Perhaps that part of his being is saited at the moment.
Ehos waves back, looks like he's about to come over when he notices who Anahita was sitting with. He holds the datapad up, and it displays one word at a time in large font so that Anahita can read it even from where she is. 'Everything alright?'Anahita nods and gives a cursory look over Ehos' face and outfit, before reading his data pad.

She drinks some more water, having given Bradley a look to see whether or not he was tired of interacting.
"Naw, you're fine. It's been nice talking to someone. Most people just run the other way, not that I blame them. Things can get pretty err...dramatic? I guess. Around me."
"You kinda remind me of Ursula except...nice," he added with an apologetic shrug.
Whoops...oh well...you move too much....
The mostly immobile warm warm blood would be a much Better warming place
Vare looks straight ahead, but addresses the little snake. It's a little disorienting, because he seems to be speaking to the air. "Hello. How are you this evening?"
as the snake leaves, Oh fine I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you.
Lang just shrugs, Just as I expected after the day i had, chase everyone away.
Lang looks to vare, well I guess you are probably mad at me too and I just met you
Lang just takes a seat on the grass.
i never did get your name. I'm Lang Fei, from the Eastern Sky Temples.
Vare looks straight ahead, but addresses the little snake. It's a little disorienting, because he seems to be speaking to the air. "Hello. How are you this evening?"Whoops...oh well...you move too much....
The mostly immobile warm warm blood would be a much Better warming place
"hello, two leg....I am sheess...."
... snip ...
Looking back at Bradley, Anahita says, "Thank you, Bradley. I do not know this Ursula, though from what you mentioned earlier, I suppose that is a compliment. You are welcome to speak with me any time you wish, I have very little else to do at this time." She then looks over at Ehos and his data pad.
... snip ...
Glancing between Ehos' pad and Bradley, perhaps Ehos and Bradley rather, Anahita nods and furrows her brow, something uncertain on her features for a moment, especially after looking Ehos over.
"You have a wound, Ehos." She points to his neck, where the bite mark is. "If you would like, I can heal it." She doesn't move to cast anything right away, respecting Ehos' space.
"Well, they'll likely have some affinity with fire, but they'll be dragons like Jiminy. They usually breed true no matter what species their partner...I'm not really sure why that didn't work for you. If it worked like the others you'd be a full dragon."
"I'm not entirely sure how to raise dragons, but at least there are some similarities. They hatch from eggs like firebirds do. And they have wings. I know they like music. Unlike firebirds they have this amazing empathy with family members. This connection that's just always there... they even communicate with each other on a very basic level, even with their cousins in the incubation room with them. It's kinda mind-boggling."
"That does sound... strange." especially strange to someone who has no siblings and until now had no cousins to call his own. "Well, they're regular old firebirds! Wings, music and fire! That's all you need!" he winces slightly, "Don't tell Raelle I said that. I was kidding. And Raelle still has wings." >_>

Fieri nearly fell over laughing. "Poor Raelle. She's tone deaf, can't even summon a spark, and has no idea that she's popular in spite of it. Dad's practically beside himself trying to deal with her constant string of admirers...though between you and me, I think she'd be better off if he wouldn't interfere so much. It would be good for her to get some positive feedback once in a while."
"Hello Sheess. I am Vare. And Lang Fei. Greetings. It is good to meet you." again, Vare does not look at Sheess, seeming to address the air above where he is. "You have done nothing to anger me, Lang Fei. You seem troubled... is there perhaps something I can do to assist you? I am a teacher here, after all."
::So were you to consume physical pain, the emotions associated with the pain would also be taken? Fear, anxiety, etc? Is there any limit to how much you can consume at once?::"well, i haven't seen a limit. know, however I can eat the entirety of the pain of someone going through fleshwarping without Anastasia."
he visibly drools a little.
::Well, I think we have a reasonable approach to start with. I would like to run an experiment, if you are willing. Are there any permanent effects when you take emotions from a subject?::
Fieri nearly fell over laughing. "Poor Raelle. She's tone deaf, can't even summon a spark, and has no idea that she's popular in spite of it.

"You have done nothing to anger me, Lang Fei. You seem troubled... is there perhaps something I can do to assist you? I am a teacher here, after all."
Hearing the voice closer to the ground and realizing he offendedLang he soothers back up into a scaly necklace
"I am guardian of Sheldlonsorunson..."
"You have a wound, Ehos." She points to his neck, where the bite mark is. "If you would like, I can heal it." She doesn't move to cast anything right away, respecting Ehos' space.
Ehos hand goes to his neck, touching the tender area gently. He seems to smile behind the scarf, his eyes growing a touch softer. 'I think I will keep this particular battle scar, thank you though. I am here on an errand though, and I should return with food before it gets too cold.' Ehos wonders again if Jaiye would be jealous that he was speaking with Anahita? He hoped not... he wanted to be friends with her. 'I shall see you in Mechanics tomorrow at the latest, I suspect?'
Fieri nearly fell over laughing. "Poor Raelle. She's tone deaf, can't even summon a spark, and has no idea that she's popular in spite of it. Dad's practically beside himself trying to deal with her constant string of admirers...though between you and me, I think she'd be better off if he wouldn't interfere so much. It would be good for her to get some positive feedback once in a while."
"She has a boyfriend," Ardiente says, bristling slightly. Fieri had seen enough ruffled feathers and preening male firebirds in her day to know jealousy when she sees it. "A student by the name of David."
Ehos hand goes to his neck, touching the tender area gently. He seems to smile behind the scarf, his eyes growing a touch softer. 'I think I will keep this particular battle scar, thank you though.

He hoped not... he wanted to be friends with her. 'I shall see you in Mechanics tomorrow at the latest, I suspect?'
Nodding, but uncertainty in her features, Anahita drops the offer to heal and appears to agree without speaking to Ehos' Mechanics comment.
She then watches him walking off with the twin plates, pondering something quietly before looking back at Bradley.
"He is .. an odd sort. I do not understand him. Ah well." She gives a slight shrug. "Much here is new to me.. such an amazing place."
"um either, at home I'm usually called Junior, but that's cause dad was Grim first, but I doubt there are any other Grims here" he shrugs at her final statement "um ok then?"
Midori stirs slightly at the voices, but the spell on her continues to keep her asleep. Her face is serene and peaceful, her horn dormant.
well earlier today Lang starts to say then the snake returns.
at first he is surprised. but He seems pleased at the same time.
Man i wish I knew how to talk to this guy, I know you can understand him.
Lang pets Sheess and continues his story.
well earlier today I wanted to say I was sorry to a friend because i said something that may have scared her and, well it ended in a big mess and I had to take her to see the nurse. She was ok but I got scared i did something. well then her mom came and she just took her daughter back to her room and didn't even look at me or thank me, not that I deserved it anyway. But anyway I wouldn't be surprised if she hated me now.
Professor Vare, I really like this girl but I'm afraid to tell her, and now I'm afraid I chased her away. Oh and can you tell the snake here not tell Sorun any of this, he'll just keep on teasing me about all year
Oh man, I'm sorry I shouldn't be dumping all this on you. Lang nods a respectful bow toward Vare.
Fieri nearly fell over laughing. "Poor Raelle. She's tone deaf, can't even summon a spark, and has no idea that she's popular in spite of it. Dad's practically beside himself trying to deal with her constant string of admirers...though between you and me, I think she'd be better off if he wouldn't interfere so much.

Fieri had seen enough ruffled feathers and preening male firebirds in her day to know jealousy when she sees it. "A student by the name of David."
"Does she? Well, that should be interesting..."
"And I see that you can be added to her list of admirers," she said, a twinkle of amusement in her eyes. "Well, who she ends up with is up to Raelle, but if it makes you feel any better, I had lots of boyfriends when I was a student...Mind you, Jiminy made damn sure none of them lasted , although he was painfully slow about figuring out why he was doing it...so you might just want to wait and see."
"That is quite alright, young Lang. I'm afraid I don't have any advice for your conundrum with the young lady, except patience." The Professor doesn't make any move to close the distance with Lang, despite them standing some 10 feet apart. "But perhaps I can teach you a little to take your mind off of it. Sheess seems to speak Aquan, though I believe he understands Common. Is that correct Sheess?"
"I can teach you some Aquan if you'd like, Lang."

he dares to pet me! One of the greatest and most po.....hey....mmmmmmm......this its nice......I shall allow the human to continue petting me....

petting is nissssssssssse

"He is .. an odd sort. I do not understand him. Ah well." She gives a slight shrug. "Much here is new to me.. such an amazing place."
"Yeah...there's always something new. This is already my second year and I'm still finding new stuff here all the time."
"You know, we've spent a lot of time talking about me, but you haven't really said anything about you...I mean, I know I used to get homesick a lot when I first got here...so, I mean, if it will help you to talk about it....not that you have to. You don't have to share anything you don't want to. just....I'm willing to listen if you want to talk about your home or stuff."

"I can teach you some Aquan if you'd like, Lang."
that would be great, It might also help me learn a little about my friend Sorun, I would love to learn about what his home is like. all the cool fish and stuff. learning some of his and this little guy's language might be the first step learn all about new people, maybe I could find a way to teach them the language of the air creature, Auran
Lamg can almost sense the snake like him petting it so he continues until he gets a sense it wants him to stop.
"Does she? Well, that should be interesting..."
"And I see that you can be added to her list of admirers," she said, a twinkle of amusement in her eyes. "Well, who she ends up with is up to Raelle, but if it makes you feel any better, I had lots of boyfriends when I was a student...Mind you, Jiminy made damn sure none of them lasted , although he was painfully slow about figuring out why he was doing it...so you might just want to wait and see."
Ardiente shakes his head. "She's family now... wouldn't that be weird? I know we aren't blood... but I should just move on. Raelle needs a friend right now more than she needs another guy too concerned with which way his feathers are sitting. Especially if what you say about her abjuration coming before the council is true." Ardiente sighs, leaning back. "She is beautiful though."
"Jiminy sounds like an interesting man. I think I would like to meet him when he wakes up."
"Does she? Well, that should be interesting..."

in the sewer:
Roel reflexively engulfs him dc 26 ref and uses his move action to press the hook out. (can take a AOO but get no save). 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37 to remove the accused barb, INTO THE IDIOTS FLESH. LEVEL DRAIN. THE ONE THING THAT MAKES HIM USELESS. oh, and don't forget, engulfed=pinned. I don't even have grappled.
Shockinglee he gleefully trys to grab the Hood and help you thrust it into his body, when it enters a look of rapture crosses his face as it sucks the life force from him, the hook desiccates him as you look on, sucking all drop of life out of him, until he is a husk, then there is a shudder from his body and hook seems to go dead. The glow of magic from it gone.
"um either, at home I'm usually called Junior, but that's cause dad was Grim first, but I doubt there are any other Grims here" he shrugs at her final statement "um ok then?"Midori stirs slightly at the voices, but the spell on her continues to keep her asleep.

grim jr turns to her as she stirs, but turns back to the teacher, seeing that she did not wake.

She shrugged. "Well I suppose how you feel is how you feel. A second cousin-in-law once or twice - I lost track - removed isn't really that close a relative, but she is with someone else right now. Just make sure whatever you do it's for the right reasons."
"And yeah, Jiminy is....amazing, interesting, and totally unique. I think it would do you some good to spend some time with him. He's got this way of cutting right through all the crap and and getting to the heart of the matter," she said her smile turning softer as she spoke about her husband. She was obviously crazy about him.

"Alright, come, sit. Er. If you aren't already." That was a bit of a strange thing to say. Shouldn't he knew if Lang is sitting?
Vare gives his first lesson of the school year, sitting out on the grass in front of the lake. He goes through some basics of the vocabulary of Aquan, along with very basic grammatical structures - present tense verb conjugations, basic pronouns, etc. Despite sometimes having an odd turn of phrase or two, Vare seems to be quite interested in this sort of thing. Planar languages were vital to a summoner, after all.
"Yeah...there's always something new. This is already my second year and I'm still finding new stuff here all the time."

You don't have to share anything you don't want to. just....I'm willing to listen if you want to talk about your home or stuff."
She sat there for just a few moments after he said his part, the offer seemed to strip her of the usual social barriers and diplomatic walls that were second nature to her for interaction with other talking beings. She could feel it too, buried deep inside, the part of her that was no less a part of the whole, yet rarely expressed.
Years of isolation and brief interactions with other human beings, years of being with the flora and fauna that rarely ever asked, and here the offer was put to her as simple as her companion drew breath. She had never expected it, and when she finally spoke, Anahita felt her sorrow swell as a river bank would after the winter's end.
"I.. I am moved by your kind offer, Bradley, for never has such been expressed to me in my years of travel." Tears raced down her noble cheeks, a few at first, but then more followed, as such is the way of water.
"I do not know how my Family prospers, or even if they still think of me. I miss my family, but yet never once did they seek me out. I believe our patron goddess guided me, yet never once did she talk to me as you just did. I am one with a world gone now, my life dedicated to it and yet I feel no great loss? Now in this strange new one, not truly knowing whether this is a heaven or hell, yet. Is this the Great Beyond? Have I died? I am unsure... And what is worse, I ... I have never spent so much time thinking! I am not who I was before the man in burning flames changed me. I feel terror and doubt, seeking focus ... Oh gods, I'm doing it again! Where do all these thoughts flow from? It was so easier just in the wilds..."
Anahita at this point merely sob, eventually raising her hands up to hold back tears which will not stop. A deluge of many years of her childhood and lost innocence catching up in the uncertainty and new fuller awareness she possessed. She might seem mad, on the verge of it, if someone knew any better. She surely felt it was so.

"You have a wound, Ehos." She points to his neck, where the bite mark is. "If you would like, I can heal it." She doesn't move to cast anything right away, respecting Ehos' space.

Lang tries the language, mimicing the inflections but ending up sounding more like he gurgleing mouthwash than any real efectual communication.
Lang tries the same phrase yet again ans in the same fashion his water bending forms meld into air bending forms, his attempt at the aquan language melds toward Auran.
Sheess (being so close) can feel he is have difficulty in the enumciation of the words but is definately trying to learn what he can. he desperately wants to be able to understand his friend and his companion.

Let the wordssss flow, do not Forssssse them, like water they cannot be pussshhhed" the serpent advises.
Lang stop his practice for a few seconds takes several deep breaths, relaxes hi body and spirit.
Like in bending, neither the water nor air can be forced one must learn to flow with the element, to become a part of the element. the language is the same technique.
Lang smiles now seeing the first signs, connecting the spirtuality of bending to the essence of the elemental languages.
the language is no different than bending in theory then
he tries once more attempting to introduce himself in the Aquan language
"hello, my name was lang"
still not perfect but comprehensible

decent, young one, if you practie you can learn the intricacies of my native tongue... And I know your name, I have known since you introduced yourself yesterday....I can understand common....just not speak it
Bradley offered a handkerchief of questionable cleanliness, mostly on account of his falling in the mop water earlier, and patted her back, mostly just letting her cry it out and trying his best to be some form of comforting. Growing up with a twin sister had at least taught him the fine art of shutting up during these emotional moments. It was safer that way. Besides, she'd feel better after a good cry. Probably. He hoped. He didn't want to have made the one person who'd been nice to him feel bad.
She shrugged. "Well I suppose how you feel is how you feel. A second cousin-in-law once or twice - I lost track - removed isn't really that close a relative, but she is with someone else right now. Just make sure whatever you do it's for the right reasons."

"That is always good advice Fieri. I have no intention of... coming between her and someone else. And I won't dishonour her by thinking that she's a prize to be won either." Ardiente nods at this resolution, seeming satisfied. Raelle's honour was not something to be impinged upon.
Ardiente watches Fieri carefully as she describes her husband. He must be quite the man, to be abjured just for him. "Well, that settles the question then. I definitely have to meet him."
"One more question Fieri, and I apologize if it is not my place, or not yours to share. Do you know what Ignace's power is? I would dearly like to help her but I only know bending."
"You have a wound, Ehos." She points to his neck, where the bite mark is. "If you would like, I can heal it." She doesn't move to cast anything right away, respecting Ehos' space.
Johnny wake with a start.
::"Strom! why am I in the medical unit?"::
The scenery link kicked in
::"I kind of sent of drone off with one of your fellow Students and I think he may be in some trouble, I need you to go and see if hes all right"::
::"That's fine but the last I knew I was asleep by the lake, again why am I on the Medical unit?"::
Storm seem to take his time to respond, which was worrying Johnny thought.
::"I offered to show a student made of Acid, don't ask, the sewers of a lang forgotten city, they where like his home an Teleported him over with a Remote Drone, well they/we found something. A kind of home made temple, well something was there, it looked human but it totaled the Remote Drone, I have no idea how, Its should not have been able to get past its shielding but it did. I lost all contact then, So I am heading there to try and see what happened get the student out of there."::
Johnny lissened, this was just the kind of thing Storm would do but.
::"Yes, I see, but why am I in the Medical unit?"::
::"Upgrades!!"::
Johnny was speechless for a moment.
"What! do you mean Upgrades?"
Storm said.
::"The book, The Technomage one I read it, used the glasses you got, I'm incorporating whats in that book into your Neural Lace at tattoo. I just can't risk you going down there with out some kind of defense. Im sending to in the info on what I have done, and how it works now."::
Into Johnny's lace came a stream of data, and the control protocols for
"MAGIC! you placed systems into my body to make sudo magic, you could have asked 1st Storm, for brills sake why!"
::"Look, I feel really bad about this ok, but I am worried silly about that student, he was under my care and now hes lost or stars knows what. I need you to help me Johnny, I don't often ask if ever but right now I really need help. Please, I need you to go in there and get him back, alive. We are flying there now at my stop speed, once there I can target displace you in. But once there your so far down I can not help , I needed to give you the ability to get him and you out, and a means to keep safe. something is down there johnny, some thing bad and I have to fix this, will you help?."::
In the few years Johnny has known Storm, he had never asked for any thing more that a change in direction and now this. A MIND worried was in itself a worrying thing, Hells what could have Storm up freaked. Johnny went over the systems now embed in his Lace and Tattoo. He had cold make them work at a push but he had no experance what the outcome may be.
"Ok Storm, Ill go, just show me what happened in full ok."
Johnny starting to review the recordings, C**p this could be it, death by sewer.
"That is always good advice Fieri. I have no intention of... coming between her and someone else. And I won't dishonour her by thinking that she's a prize to be won either." Ardiente nods at this resolution, seeming satisfied. Raelle's honour was not something to be impinged upon.Ardiente watches Fieri carefully as she describes her husband. He must be quite the man, to be abjured just for him. "Well, that settles the question then. I definitely have to meet him."
"One more question Fieri, and I apologize if it is not my place, or not yours to share. Do you know what Ignace's power is? I would dearly like to help her but I only know bending."
"Ignace has to be willing to be helped before any of us can do anything. Pushing her will only make her dig in further and close off even more. Right now healing her spirit is more important than teaching her to use her abilities. I'm not exactly sure what she does other than that she has a uniquely good relationship with fire. Pyra says that it's like Ignace is channeling straight from the plane of fire, but none of us have ever had a chance to study it. I know it's hard to see her hurting, but we just have to be patient with her for now."
Ehos makes his way back to the room, reaching to knock before remembering the futility of that. He simply slides the door open and pads into the room, setting the tray down on the desk before turning to deliver another mock-bow to Jaiye, keeping up the charade they had going on before. He deftly pulls the datapad out as part of the bow. 'My Lady, I bring supper.'
And he did. He didn't even bring any veggies, not wanting to spoil Jaiye's dinner with 'healthiness'. Just a nice big stack of meat.
"Maybe she needs to see that not learning is more dangerous than learning. But, as you say, we need to look after herbefore we tend to her abilities. Truth be told, I haven't even met her yet, I simply heard of her situation from Raelle. It breaks my heart."
"You are doing very well for your first attempt Lang. Languages are complicated and not easy to learn. There are many nuances and subtleties, even for master linguists." Vare is encouraging, especially when Lang spouts his fix sentence. "Ah, you speak Auran as well. The languages are surprisingly similar, at least in grammatical structure if not in their lexicons."

She'd been lazing on the bed as she waited for him, half wondering if she'd dreamed the whole thing. Good things rarely happened to her. When he came in the room her ears perked up and her tail wagged. She jumped up with a complete lack of modesty and had to work to keep from drooling at the smell of the food.
She stopped and gave Ehos a kiss before digging in to the food. "I don't deserve someone as wonderful as you," she murmured. "But I'm not complaining," she added with a saucy grin before digging in to second (or was it first, she hadn't eaten much earlier) dinner.
"Maybe she needs to see that not learning is more dangerous than learning. But, as you say, we need to look after her before we tend to her abilities. Truth be told, I haven't even met her yet, I simply heard of her situation from Raelle. It breaks my heart."
"You have a caring nature. That's a good thing."
"If there's anywhere Ignace will be able to find the healing she needs, it's here. I can't say I relate, but there are a lot of kids here in similar situations to her. Sometimes the most important thing is learning that you're not alone."
"Goodness no." Tyrrin says, just a little too hautily to be entirely polite. "No, I'm from the Seerdom of Laeren. Some distance from here. Do you think I could be Princess of this little town?" Ghalen was pretty sure that was a joke, considering that she had said repeatedly that she wasn't a princess. Tyrrin remains deadpan during the delivery.
"And don't worry about overindulging in the wine. I can clear it from out systems before we return home, I just find it helps to loosen lips."
He looks...embarrassed?
"My apologies. I should have realized you were much more refined than this place, Princess or no." He seems genuinely displeased with himself."Perhaps I should skip on the wine..."He quips, as he takes a sip.
"I would very much like to see where you come from. Is it predominantly Elven?"
Lang seems most appreciative to bothe Vare and his new snake friend.
I fell overwhelmed by all the kindness I've found here, though there are some things I need to deal with but that will take time. Back home I only had one teacher, Master Hito. But here there are so many teachers. each with their own specialty. This is so new to me, at time I seem so small in a great sea of knowledge.
Lang pauses a moment trying to decide his next question.
Master Vare, may I call upon you in the future for more lessons on the aquan language? or perhaps you could join Master De'Nown and me during our tea time
Lang again continues attempting to say more words in Aquan. most of which he miss pronounces but each successive try He seems to get a little better. still not good enough to have any true conversation. But with patience Sheess can get most of his point across to Lang.
Lang (with Vare's help) tries to say Thank you, friend
apparently proud of his meager progress
Lang tells Sheess don't tell Sorun I want to surprise him that I am trying to learn his language. and once I learn the language you can teach me about your home.
