"The firebirds here are going through some tough times. Things are changing. They used to be important and now they're not. And they aren't so good at change and there's been a lot of it lately. I may not be a firebird, but my best friend is and while I can't claim to really understand the whole situation, I understand enough to know that there's more to it than is initially obvious."
"But it is a really cool book. I'm very interested in some of those old forms. There aren't many water benders where I'm from, so I learned as much as I could, but I don't know a lot of the more advanced forms."
Maybe, we could all learn from each other. we each have something special to bring to the class. we can teach each other.

"But it is a really cool book. I'm very interested in some of those old forms. There aren't many water benders where I'm from, so I learned as much as I could, but I don't know a lot of the more advanced forms."
"This is another reason that I would suggest not dropping a bomb on them like your decedent from them. Times are hard for them right now." He closes the book and hands it to Morrivan to look at before they continue. "Lang you haven't done anything to hurt me. I don't want you thinking you have. Your a good kid. I just hope I can help lead you to growing up to be a great man as well. I don't have much work thankfully." He laugh a bit as he ends his sentence.
"Morrivan said you have had difficulty with ice. So I think we should start there. Lang has been starting to learn ice as well so I believe it will be good to learn control. He has good power behind it but control is the most important aspect to waterbending and one the hardest to learn."
Dom starts helping them both with there ice manipulation. He had been lucky enough to start learning waterbending in the frozen north so ice was one of the first things he had learned.

"I agree with your master on this one. I have much to learn and I'm sure I will learn a great deal from you both."
"I...think I've seen enough sacrifice already," she said, trying hard not to remember that morning and the sickening sound his head had made as it hit the ground. "I think that the storytellers make it seem glorious, but probably at the time it just felt horrible and pointless and terrifying. Stories don't tell you that the hero wet his pants or vomited or any of the things that probably did happen. Anyways, I think brave and fierce and honorable are all words that describe you pretty well, so if that's what you're going for you're definitely succeeding."
"I can show you some illusions after lunch if you want. I can even illustrate your favorite story if you want....ummm....since I use smoke to craft the illusion it's important to do this someplace with good ventilation."
Ardiente takes pause at Raelle's choice of words: horrible and pointless and terrifying. That must have been how she felt this morning. He sobers for a moment as Raelle tears down heroes from their pedastal in his mind... but then it is all forgotten as she compliments him. Well, maybe. She didn't actually say that those things were positive traits... still. "Thank you." he manages to say, trying very hard to keep any colour from his face. This has the effect of making him look ruefully happy, almost guilty.
His thoughts are racing a mile a minute as Raelle offers to show him her illusions. "I would like that very much. You've seen me bend after all, it's only fair." he teased gently, munching on his food.
Ace is quite for a few moments, collecting his thoughts "That's some solid advice there. Let me give you some in return. What happened with you and Raelle and the others, was pretty bad. But just like with 'my' attack on Tybalt, it wasn't your fault. I know, I am sure others have told you this already, but it might mean a bit more since I've been down this road before. I get the horrific feeling that all the times I've lost track of time, it was because Kalmafein took over. Who knows what terrible, vile things my body may have done with him in control?" He pauses, letting that sink in.
"Be that as it may, I have two choices, as do you. I can either sit around, wallowing in self pity, going 'woe is me' and living in sorrow for something I did not consciously do, or I can confront my problem head on, rise above the wrongs done, apologize to those who deserve it, and move forward, in a positive, proactive fashion. Don't let something you had no control over ruin your life. Stand up and fight, perhaps figuratively in your case, but you get my point."
Ehos does a momentary double take, looking about the classroom for a moment. He was fairly certain Anahita hadn't cast anything... he starts to panic. He glances momentarily at the mechanics professor... and then sprints from the classroom, leaving behind Anahita's piece of clothing. He had no idea where he was going... he touches the walls and thinks of Anahita, just to be sure.
Getting only the spinning arrows , he goes to his next go-to person: Professor Sunwake. He conjures the arrows and follows them to whereever Aananda is.
Roughly, ten minutes or so later, Anahita simply re-appears in the class room.
This probably startles whoever's seated right where she disappeared, and for anyone looking, it's slightly obvious that she's ..well, tired looking and apparently somewhat worn out.
Glancing around, she doesn't spy Ehos and glances over to the teacher who effectively stops teaching for a moment and says, "Young lady? We have a rule about sudden materialization in the class-- young lady!"
Anahita dashes out, a polite 'thank you' to the person who's table had her clothing bundle, heading for the cafeteria.
If Ehos is still searching at this point, the arrows would track her.
Wee!
"Morrivan said you have had difficulty with ice. So I think we should start there. Lang has been starting to learn ice as well so I believe it will be good to learn control. He has good power behind it but control is the most important aspect to waterbending and one the hardest to learn."
Dom starts helping them both with there ice manipulation. He had been lucky enough to start learning waterbending in the frozen north so ice was one of the first things he had learned.
Lang watches Dom and tries the same moves as he does, though Dom's is much more graceful and produces controlled results.
Lang on the otherhand while does form Ice it is definately not in areas he intended, his forms seem more forced, rather than fluid. but in the end he does succeed in putting a layer of frost over Sun.
She glances over at Adon, suddenly a little nervous. She eases a little closer to Fei, looking up into his eyes with love, her voice slipping into a throaty whisper. "We never did have that kiss yesterday." she reaches out to take his hand, pausing and hovering just before doing so, allowing Fei to make the contact, if he felt it was safe. She twirls a bit of hair around her finger, attempting to be sultry and instead just looking cute.
Fei looks pensive at Vai's gesture, especially given his recent activity. Distracted by the unusual tone of her voice, though, he takes her hand...
...and accidentally releases a pulse of kinetic energy straight into her.

He shakes his head in disbelief before he steps back to let Star talk to Tybalt. He looks through the cloths as the speak. Many he finds far to fancy for his taste. Something more down to earth is what he seems to be looking for.
Ace is quite for a few moments, collecting his thoughts "That's some solid advice there. Let me give you some in return. What happened with you and Raelle and the others, was pretty bad. But just like with 'my' attack on Tybalt, it wasn't your fault. I know, I am sure others have told you this already, but it might mean a bit more since I've been down this road before.

Don't let something you had no control over ruin your life. Stand up and fight, perhaps figuratively in your case, but you get my point."
he shakes his head, not in disagreement but more the thing that people sometimes just do when they are like this "I've tried, I've tried to appologize, I've tried to move foward, be proactive, I even got an expedition scheduled and I've got an expiramental enhancement potion in the works, but no matter the distractions it still really hurts..." he is ovbiously uncomfortable admiting that he is hurt
The kinetic discharge is sufficient to knock Vai back with the sickening crunch of breaking bone. She screams, a horrible sound renting the air, and flies back a good fifteen feet from the force of the pulse. She completely fails to land on her feet... hitting the ground and rolling down the hill a small distance, her wings folding around her instinctively. There is a moment of silence as Vai cradles her smashed arm, and then a small whimper before she is whisked away to the infirmary... leaving Fei standing alone on the rise.
"Well Jitterbug yours will need that thin striped one right here and this dark green." He picks two scraps from the basket and deftly flicks his hand across them to make the pattern.
"Sir if you would like to get the fabric and design I can mend these together at the same time." :)
Lang watches Dom and tries the same moves as he does, though Dom's is much more graceful and produces controlled results.Lang on the otherhand while does form Ice it is definately not in areas he intended, his forms seem more forced, rather than fluid. but in the end he does succeed in putting a layer of frost over Sun.
Dom laughs at the frosting Sun got. "Lang come here real quick." He waves him over away from everyone else. Once Lang does come over. He whispers to him. "You have a girl you like right. If so make your movements how you would want to hold her."[/b] Dom steps back to let him try again.
"Well Jitterbug yours will need that thin striped one right here and this dark green." He picks two scraps from the basket and deftly flicks his hand across them to make the pattern.
"Sir if you would like to get the fabric and design I can mend these together at the same time." :)
Salis smiles and nods. He picks up a nice white fabric much like the robe he's wearing and a light blue fabric as well. "I think a simple robe like the one I'm wearing will do me fine." He smiled to Star. "I believe you are in one of my classes, am I not correct?"
Dom, you have no idea how difficult you have just made this.
Lang tries again but his movements are more of a terrified child.
But the seems to be some emotional strain in his eyes this time.
Eventally he stops, That is not a good idea right now, it may work for you, but that option is...
His sentence trails off and he goes to sit by a tree.
A small girl pulls on one of Dave's wings
"are you an angel?" She asks with wide blue eyes
"Lang Lang Lang." Dom walks over to him and sits down beside him. "I guess there's a little more to you and her than normal. Do you want to talk about it?" He asks in almost a brotherly voice.
"Ooh these are good together. I have something like this in my room actually. In my size though. OK here we go."
He puts the fabrics side by side in the ringer and two separate parts come through instead of as one. Robes aren't real complicated and he has the outline in about 5 minutes.
"OK now the cool part."
He sits and closes his eyes for a minute or two and he sets his paws on the table. After a while his paws hold a soft blue glow. He traces his fingertips across the places where the frayed ends of the fabrics meet. They move and stitch themselves together into one continued piece without any actual seems. When he is finished with the robe his hand moves to the tiny outline of Starlight's dress and does the same to it.
"And there we go." :)
A small girl pulls on one of Dave's wings
"are you an angel?" She asks with wide blue eyes
Dave looks at her warry but tries not to show it "er kinda, my grandma was one, "
"I think a simple robe like the one I'm wearing will do me fine." He smiled to Star. "I believe you are in one of my classes, am I not correct?"
"Yes I am and why did you change your mind the shorts and tights would have looked fabulous on you"
she says not joking and a bit disappointed an the Rob your wanting
Dave looks at her warry but tries not to show it "er kinda, my grandma was one, "A small girl pulls on one of Dave's wings

A why are your wing funny feeling?"she asks looking up with a curious quizzical smile
cause I forgot the detail work is what he thinks, what he says is "cause they're made of gold" he says in a conspirital hushed tones.
Lang looks to Dom,
It's difficult. Have you ever felt a certain way about someone, but you had no idea if they felt even remotely the same about you? Scared to tell then because you are afraid that it may destroy what you do share.
Lang looks away
Wanting to hold, but knowing you can't. At times painful to be with, but even more painful to be without. Dom, this is new to me, I'm terrified, confused, but at the same time happy. I don't even know if you will understand
"I think a simple robe like the one I'm wearing will do me fine." He smiled to Star. "I believe you are in one of my classes, am I not correct?""Yes I am and why did you change your mind the shorts and tights would have looked fabulous on you"
she says not joking and a bit disappointed an the Rob your wanting
"I figure in my station here at the academy I need to have a more practical look to my attire. Thank you for the compliment however. I shall remember you said that next time I decide to dine at the Blue Oyster tavern."
cause I forgot the detail work is what he thinks, what he says is "cause they're made of gold" he says in a conspirital hushed tones.
"why is gold white and feathery? I thought it was hard and yellow...."she peers at your wing then pulls out a marble sized ball of gold, peers at it and looks utterly confused
Then she looks at Ginni "your a devil? Why is a devil at a table with an angel?"
::hello miss, how, may I ask did this happen:: a floating green rock asks as it tries to mend her broken arm
There are tears in Vai's eyes as she cradles her smashed limb, her real voice is choked by pain... and Skeets can feel how painful it is when she responds telepathically, her mind distracting by pain causing her sentences to come out fractured. ::Accident. Make sure. Fei. He's. OK.::
Despite the incredible amount of pain, Vai does not cry out further, beyond her first scream on the green - which was more surprise than pain. Screaming used to encourage him so she made a habit of not doing it when she was in pain.
Dave frowns "first off she is only part demon, second she is one of the nicer people I have met here, you are not to judge people by their parents race you don't get to choose that, now go appologize" he glares in a parental kind of way
Lang looks to Dom,

Dom nods his head as he listens. With a smile he responds. "You have no idea how much that sounds familiar. Does she feel the same? Only way to find out is to ask. Wanting to hold her but not being able to well that's not so familiar but symbolism it works, unless it's something more magical than that. If so I'm sure there's some spell out there that can help." He answers fairly quickly like he doesn't really get where your coming from, but his words slow down and seem far less cocky. "Painful to be with, but to painful to be without. Look at it this way. You can be together. You just need to keep her happy. Don't get me wrong there are going to be unhappy times but they just make the happy times that much better. Even if she doesn't feel the same, you two are both young. She may feel different in a few years. Just be there for her, but don't let yourself get placed in the friend zone. I here it sucks there. Ether way remember that if you both like each other then there's nothing keeping you apart. Even if she's was from a noble family you still are in the running mister Avatar" He teases.
Dave frowns "first off she is only part demon, second she is one of the nicer people I have met here, you are not to judge people by their parents race you don't get to choose that, now go appologize" he glares in a parental kind of way
She stares at Dave.... Hurt that he is mad because she was curious....
His glare softens
"I figure in my station here at the academy I need to have a more practical look to my attire. Thank you for the compliment however. I shall remember you said that next time I decide to dine at the Blue Oyster tavern."
"why be another frumpy teacher, here, I know, why not Electric Blue Robs not white"
cause I forgot the detail work is what he thinks, what he says is "cause they're made of gold" he says in a conspirital hushed tones."why is gold white and feathery? I thought it was hard and yellow...."she peers at your wing then pulls out a marble sized ball of gold, peers at it and looks utterly confused
Then she looks at Ginni "your a devil? Why is a devil at a table with an angel?"
"Why is a little girl in the main school library during class hours and not in the elementary school?"
"Because I'm not really a devil, he's not really an angel, and you're not really a little girl. Though that is a fair imitation of one," she said coolly.
About thirty seconds after Vai lands in the infirmary, Aananda comes running through the door.
"Sweetie, what happened?"
"Skeets, get the senior healer. She needs a regen," she adds after a quick glance at Vai's injured hand.
Roughly, ten minutes or so later, Anahita simply re-appears in the class room.
This probably startles whoever's seated right where she disappeared, and for anyone looking, it's slightly obvious that she's ..well, tired looking and apparently somewhat worn out.
Glancing around, she doesn't spy Ehos and glances over to the teacher who effectively stops teaching for a moment and says, "Young lady? We have a rule about sudden materialization in the class-- young lady!"
Anahita dashes out, a polite 'thank you' to the person who's table had her clothing bundle, heading for the cafeteria.
If Ehos is still searching at this point, the arrows would track her.
Wee!
Ehos leaves the lab, glad that Anahita had returned to the school... he touches the wall to conjure the arrows, not panicking anymore but also concerned. He jogs along with the arrows, wherever they were taking him. First the accident yesterday... where that thing on her wrist ate his silence spell... now she vanishes without a trace in the middle of a conversation. It was worrisome to say the least.
If he does find her, he notes that she looks worn out... it had only been maybe 20 minutes since she vanished... his datapad is pulled from it's storage space among his many pouches as he approaches her, and the immediate query is: 'Are you okay?' with a concerned look. He doesn't spare a glance for the thing about her wrist, more concerned with her well-being than the mystery at the moment.
"why be another frumpy teacher, here, I know, why not Electric Blue Robs not white"
"It tends to stand out a little much for me and the white robes remind me of good times past." He rubs his fingers across the sleeve of his robe.
"Well now you have a new one to make new memories in." :)
Her too bright blue eyes, just watch Ginnie people who were paying attention notice she hasn't blinked yet... "wha-what do you mean?"
He nods to Tybalt as he takes the new robe. "Yes I think your right. This new robe will be with me for quite a few new experiences. Thank you Tybalt. I very much appreciate this. What do I owe you?"
"Its really free. Any tips go to getting more kinds of fabric so I can keep making this better and help more people. Doesn't really cost me anything when I have this." :) he pats the wringer looking machine at the end of the table.

He doesn't spare a glance for the thing about her wrist, more concerned with her well-being than the mystery at the moment.
Anahita is in the Cafeteria, wolfing down some fairly basic, eating whatever she can, food wise, though nothing obscene-- apparently she seemed to be either starving, or famished. Water is visible as well.
She looks up with something partially chewed on, eyes wide, as Ehos comes running over.
Chewing down whatever she was in mid-consume, she wipes her mouth with a sleeve and nods after reading the data pad.
"I .. was starving. No food for quite some time. Ill prepared." She does grin, however. "I think I can answer your question, though." With a motion, she gestures to the seat across from her.
Looking around quickly to make sure they weren't being watched, or anyone wasn't too close, she says "I'm not to speak of it, but needless to say, it's the cause of the silence spell incident yesterday, and for that, I am extremely apologetic. I am certain, now, that it won't happen again in case a similar situation happens. Further more, I'm fairly sure I won't be entering into any of those trances. So, for that, I thank you-- you've helped me tremendously, Ehos. I'm finally a bit more aware of what's going on. At least, so far as I understand at this moment."
Then she resumes eating, as if someone who's not eaten in a while. He might notice, depending on his perception skills, that parts of her outfit are missing, along with parts of her leather belt with pockets. Odd missing parts, as if ripped, or torn away.
Much eating will ensue. "So, how have you been?"
Lang nods to Dom, Thanks, but i am still afraid to ask. As far as not being able to hold, it isn't magical or anything, it's just that something really bad happened in her past and she won't let anyone to get too close physically.
Lang gets up to continue the lesson It took two days and some burnt hands before she let me just touch her hands. But each day she gets closer. Its the waiting thats painful. Ive seen you with your girlfriend, I guess i'm a little jealous, but everytime I just want hold her closer like that. I guess I just need more patience.
Lang seems to start doing better but still far from Dom's skill. He smiles Thanks
"Well I don't know what this will get you here but it should be enough to get you some more fabrics." Salis reaches into his satchel and pulls out a gold coin. He hands the coin to Tybalt.
Her too bright blue eyes, just watch Ginnie people who were paying attention notice she hasn't blinked yet... "wha-what do you mean?"
"To begin with, you're in the wrong place at the wrong time yet seem neither confused, distressed, nor guilty. You have no readable emotions or thoughts. Which is conceivably possible. There are races and individuals who possess these properties, although at your age it's unusual for there not to be the occasional spikes of thought or emotion. But your body language is wrong too. Even when I accused you of not really being a little girl, your reaction is a parody of feigned innocence rather than the anger or hurt or amusement that a real child would have. Erego, you're just someone who likes screwing with people's minds. Find someone else to bother."
"Thank you very much." :) "I hope you enjoy your robe."

Her head cocks to the side with a very odd expression mixed hurt and amusement with a touch of curiosity...
"I have no emotion? And my reaction isn't right?" She looks at Ginnie.... And steps more behind Dave....putting a person between her and Ginnie

Lang seems to start doing better but still far from Dom's skill. He smiles Thanks
Dom smiles to Lang when he looks at him, but when he goes back to practicing Dom's smile fades. The thought that Lang was jealous of him and Tamina just seemed sad, but he didn't know. He didn't know that as happy as that are right now there's a time limit.
Ardiente takes pause at Raelle's choice of words: horrible and pointless and terrifying. That must have been how she felt this morning. He sobers for a moment as Raelle tears down heroes from their pedastal in his mind... but then it is all forgotten as she compliments him. Well, maybe.

You've seen me bend after all, it's only fair." he teased gently, munching on his food.
After a moment he adds, "We could always go outside. I'm sure it's well ventilated out there."

"Very nice. You almost got it. But you're just a touch off. Also, you didn't blink while I was explaining what was wrong."
Ginni stands up. "Also, there's a saying about not trying to trick a trickster."
Ginni's form shrinks until she appears to be about six years old. "Please, can you help me?" she says her wide eyes brimming with tears as her lip quivers. It's very convincing.
She grows again, once more appearing to be her own age. "It's a succubus thing. They can appear to be any age they want. Since I'm half succubus, so can I."
