The last part carries just a hint of worry. Just a hint.

"but why would you need to destroy the sun in the first place, ? I mean I get that it's none of my business but its messed up, this was your guys's home and you didn't appear to ask anybody if it was ok, what's going on"
Sorchan scowled at Grim. "You're right about one thing. It's none of your business," he snapped.
He sighed and rubbed his hand over his eyes. "I apologize for yelling. It's been a very long day. My people...if they cannot let go of the past it's going to kill us. And there are so very few of us left. In a choice between buildings and people I choose people every time."
"It's a bit... musky. Nevermind. If you can't smell it Jaiye then I must be imagining things." she glances over to her brother, who appears to be beaming quite happily.
"You two enjoy your evening then. I shall see you bright and early, Jaiye? I must decide how I want to style my hair for tonight as well."
Jaiye blushed a little, but didn't elaborate.
"Would you like some help with your hair? I used to help Ssrena with her hair sometimes so I know a little bit of how to do it," she offered. She seemed more cheerful than usual. Almost bouncy.
"Firebirds keep immaculate records, which will be coming with them when they evacuate," he said stiffly. "The knowledge at least will be preserved. Look, it's one thing to take the Avatar up there. People can understand that. But you? No. I can't justify it. Even if you could bear the intense heat."
After hearing this Salis decided he should step in. "Excuse me I hate to interrupt, but I think that he may be right. I do not know about a temple, but I'm sure there is some sort of knowledge that is going to be left behind. The architecture of the buildings themselves hold a great deal of information about your people. If it is to be destroyed then anything that could hold knowledge sure in some way be preserved. Be it but stories, pictures, or writings." He paused for a second. "I too would like to accompany you to this Sun place so that I may save what might have been forgotten." His voice turned to a very humble tine as he asked this question.
grim can connect two and two and realizes that this applies to him as well, he appears to be thinking of a way to convince him otherwise, what did mom say to do in situation like this, 'look for what they want, if that fails, look to what they have that they would do anything to keep,' the only thing I can think of is his kids... no just no, he pauses
"ah... I'm sorry for saying that it was unfair, I um.. I shouldn't speak without knowing the whole story..." he scuffs his shoes in that embarrassed kid way
Thankful for her father's consideration, Vai looks to Fei, recovering as he is. She gently places her hand on his, careful of him. She was very glad that he was awake and in his own body again. "Hello, meldanya." she says tenderly. "I am so glad you are here. I was worried."
Fei gently squeezes her hand. "It is safe - my energy levels are very low at the moment."
"I am sorry for that, Vai. I am glad you and your mother are alright. And that no one here was harmed," he adds, looking at the Infirmary curtain around him.
"Hopefully what has been done to me will make what happened...less likely, in the future."
"I have a spell that should help us to discern if it is truly a psychic ability. I suspect, however, that you are correct in your estimations: with the amount of magic present in the school, if no one has noticed his ability before - the Headmaster included - then I doubt a simple spell like mine will reveal any details. Still, it does not hurt to double check these things." Vare nods.
"Rena, if you would like to go with Miss Anahita in her search for birds, then I shall attend to making our supper. Perhaps after dinner we can seek to help this pariah further, if he wills and that pleases you, Miss Anahita."
Anahita frowns a moment, then states, "You seem --or I, did not make myself clear. I am rather surprised no one has bothered, apparently, to assist him. Not that no one's noticed. It didn't take me very long to sort out a suspicion, and that was without much magic use at all. Hence my disappointment thus far. Which spell is this you speak of, curiously?"
Then, looking over at Rena, Anahita says, "Curiously, do you share an affinity with animals, your size and such might throw them off, no offense. Though, again, I'm uncertain of whether you can magically change appearance. I merely sought to know if, given your wings, you may have known where other winged creatures might have been, or lurked."
Then glancing back at Vare she smiled faintly and adds, "How long did you need to prepare, and where shall we meet again?"
Ace thinks for a moment "Sounds like what you and Ardiente both need right now are some friends. I hope I count as one of yours. If so, how about we all go into town, have dinner and try and just be kids for the night? Maybe do something fun and frivilous? Though I don't really know this area all that well"
Ace thinks for a moment "Sounds like what you and Ardiente both need right now are some friends. I hope I count as one of yours. If so, how about we all go into town, have dinner and try and just be kids for the night? Maybe do something fun and frivilous? Though I don't really know this area all that well"
She shook her head. "Thanks for the offer. Maybe tomorrow if the offer still stands. Today...I don't really want to be around lots of people today."
"Fair enough and the offer will definitely still be there for tomorrow. If you want to be alone tonight, that's fine, or if you want a few close friends around, that works too. Pretty sure I speak for all of us here when I say we're just worried about you. If you want any of us around, we're here for ya." He says, giving her one his better, encouraging smiles.
"Thanks, Ace. For now I just need some time to think. Before everything gets crazy again."
"You're not just saying that because you don't want us to cancel our plans and you're trying to be all self-sacrificing here, right?" Tamina asks suspiciously.
Raelle rolls her eyes. "No I'm not playing the martyr here. I really do want a quiet evening to think."
::You just don't strike me as a kind of person to be a slave to an addiction like that.::
:: OK.::
The last part carries just a hint of worry. Just a hint.
::"Ty Vapeing is not an addiction no more then drinking coffee is, just another kind of Stimulant, how would you like life with out Coffee? cool cat"::
But johnny puts the vape stick away.

after a minute, settro finishes the infusion, then writes her name on a piece of paper, and gives chara some paper and a pencil.
"Now, after this, i have a rather no-risk way of doing this. Long story short, I'm going to make myself look somewhat like you, then let you borrow my body. You deserve to have some fun. Of course, we should ask your parents about this, too. "

"Okay. I like the idea of having fun," she said, not fully understanding what was going on.
Jaiye blushed a little, but didn't elaborate.
"Would you like some help with your hair? I used to help Ssrena with her hair sometimes so I know a little bit of how to do it," she offered. She seemed more cheerful than usual. Almost bouncy.
"Oh. That would be very helpful. Thank you Jaiye. I have no idea what to do with it at times. Especially when men are involved." She glances over at her brother. "I'm going to lower the screen, Ehos, since I'm changing. Apologies for stealing your girlfriend away." she says coyly. Apparently Jaiye isn't the only one in a good mood.
With the shade pulled down, Tyrrin begins to change into her evening wear - an off-white dress with fully covered shoulders and barely a hint of cleavage. The skirt of the dress though is quite short by Tyrrin's standards, just above her knee. The dress contrasts with her dark hair and eyes for an interesting effect, a blend of light and dark.
"You're in a good mood, Jaiye." Tyrrin says conversationally as she changes.
Fei gently squeezes her hand. "It is safe - my energy levels are very low at the moment."
"I am sorry for that, Vai. I am glad you and your mother are alright. And that no one here was harmed," he adds, looking at the Infirmary curtain around him.
"Hopefully what has been done to me will make what happened...less likely, in the future."
Vai glances somewhat nervously around at the curtain, as if ensuring they had their privacy, returning the grip in her hand.
"It's okay, Fei. All of us are safe now." her heart was beating hard, as she was considered what she was about to do.
She leans in a little closer, looking nervous. "I hope so too. I don't want you to feel as though you have to hermit yourself away. That would break my heart." Thump. Thump. Thump.
Throwing caution to the winds, Vai leans all the way in, placing her free hand on Fei's cheek gingerly, and then tenderly pressing her lips onto his, kissing him fully for the first time. Her heart is pounding in her ears, from fear and from nerves.
The astral construct looks at Tamrin as he stands to talk with Vai and Tybs, then looks back at Aananda sleeping.
Midori skillfully landing on top of him, landing softly and easily, very careful not to accidently gore him with her horn. She then pushed herself up a bit to check on him. His face was very red... well, he was probably embarrassed for trippi- did he just call her pretty? Finally, a hint of rose touches Midori's golden cheeks. "Ano.." she stumbles over her words for a moment, before noticing that Hew-kun's nose was bleeding. That alarmed her greatly. "Ano! Hew-kun! Your nose is bleeding! Are you okay? You're not having a backlash are you?" She said, trying to ignore whatever hard thing Hew-kun had in his pocket. After a moment she rolls off of him and fishes for her first aid supplies, a cloth to clean Hew-kun's face up.
As Midori is looking of a cloth Hew grasps his nose, trying to cutoff the flow. The rose tint upon her cheeks told him she new he called her pretty. "No I don't think I'm having a backlash." He looked down to his pants to see why they were shrinking. When he saw the tent he understood why. "I-I should go." He said as he slipped his other hand over his crotch trying to cover his manhood.
People had been staring at the two in the hall way some laughing at the two others making comments on how cute.

"You're in a good mood, Jaiye." Tyrrin says conversationally as she changes.
"Yeah...I feel like I might explode from sheer happiness," she said with an irrepressible grin.
"Hmm...do you have a curling iron? It's not necessary, but it would help...sort of softens the look a bit."

Aananda is drooling slightly on the pillow as she sleeps, totally unaware of how much of an audience she has.
Anahita frowns a moment, then states, "You seem --or I, did not make myself clear. I am rather surprised no one has bothered, apparently, to assist him. Not that no one's noticed.

Then glancing back at Vare she smiled faintly and adds, "How long did you need to prepare, and where shall we meet again?"
"I would say two hours or thereabouts. Let us meet in the school's entrance hall." Vare says decisively, before saying more softly: "What is past is just that though. If we can help this young man, perhaps we may yet ease his suffering. What others do - or do not do - should not be our concern. They may have reasons, or perhaps conditions have changed recently. Either way, all we can do now is help him." Vare says sagely. He ducks slightly at nothing, then seems to attempt to wave something away.
Rena perks up at this, gliding smoothly over to Vare, her voice sounding concerned. "Are you sure you don't want me to stay Inside? I can help to keep them at bay."
"No, no. Please Rena, I will be fine, they cannot truly hurt me anyway. Enjoy yourself." Vare responds. "As far as the spell Anahita, it is simply one which allows me to more clearly read magical auras, including those which spellcasters, psychics and those with natural abilities of those kind naturally exude. It may at least eliminate possibilities."
Rena nods at the mention of her wings, and once again preens them slightly before turning her attention back to Anahita. There's a sense that Rena is probably not used to dealing with people other than Vare. "My instincts may be able to tell me where they would locate themselves, but you are right. Animals will find my appearance disturbing." she sighs, a little despondantly at that. "Perhaps it would be best if I stayed with Vare."

Midori stands there looking extremely confused. What was happenning? "Gomen, Hew-kun, if I hurt you." she says quietly, not stopping him from leaving if he wanted to. She looks confused around at the few onlookers, the rose tint on her cheek not leaving.
"Yeah...I feel like I might explode from sheer happiness," she said with an irrepressible grin.
"Hmm...do you have a curling iron? It's not necessary, but it would help...sort of softens the look a bit."
"That sounds like it would be messy." Tyrrin says with a wry smile. She wonders briefly if Jaiye knows her tail was wagging uncontrollably.
"I think I do somewhere. The school provided one with the room. Let me find it." Tyrrin begins to dig through her drawers and closet, eventually extracting the curling iron. She looks at it a bit oddly. "I've never used one before..."

Not knowing when (or even if) he would have another chance, Fei puts his hand on Vai's side and gently pulls her closer, returning her kiss for as long as they are both able.
When they finally separate, there is the faintest hint of a shimmer over his eyes as he whispers to her "Amin mela lle, meldanya."
(=^-^=)

"Oh, they're not that difficult," she said, setting the curling iron to heat and setting it down on the dresser. "Here, sit down here, in front of the mirror so you can see what I'm doing."
She brushed out Tyrrin's hair and separated out a few sections on the top, braiding them and loosely coiling them together, using a few hairpins to anchor them in place.
"There. Now, we just add some soft curls on the part that I left hanging loose and it'll be perfect for a dinner date. So you take a piece of hair and you catch it in the clip part here and you wrap it around the barrel of the curling iron and leave it for a few seconds...not too long, nobody likes scorched hair. And then release it and you have curls. I'll just keep doing this for a bit and you'll be all set," she said, keeping up a running commentary as she styled Tyrrin's hair so that in theory Tyrrin could replicate the style later.
Midori stands there looking extremely confused. What was happenning? "Gomen, Hew-kun, if I hurt you." she says quietly, not stopping him from leaving if he wanted to. She looks confused around at the few onlookers, the rose tint on her cheek not leaving.
Hew stops getting up to look at her. "No you didn't hurt me. It's It's hard for me to explain. I don't think I understand. Maybe we should go somewhere to be alone." Hew looks around at the other student watching them. All the while getting more self aware as he does. Hew slowly climbs to his feet and reaches his non bloody hand out to help her up. His hand was shaking from nerves. Why am I so nervous. I hope she doesn't see the bulge in my pants. She's so pretty, like an angel.
"I do not know the laws of your people but I doubt they hold true any more. If you feel it would be disrespectful for me to step upon the Sun so be it. I understand that much of your people's history and knowledge has been taken off the Sun already. People miss small and ancient things that could be important however. I am a scholar and gathering this knowledge is what I do. As for could I stand the heat, I do not know I would be willing to try. I will abide with your decision. What ever it maybe about this." Salis nods to him and takes a step back. He hoped Lang could go at least. If he wasn't allowed to search for what is left maybe Lang would.
Not knowing when (or even if) he would have another chance, Fei puts his hand on Vai's side and gently pulls her closer, returning her kiss for as long as they are both able.
When they finally separate, there is the faintest hint of a shimmer over his eyes as he whispers to her "Amin mela lle, meldanya."
(=^-^=)
Vai begins to panic slightly when Fei pulls her closer, but after a moment the instinctive reaction to fight that pull is gone. Fei's hand on her waist is gentle and tender. Loving. She holds the kiss for several long moments, before gently pulling away, unable to fight the rising panic in her chest any longer. She doesn't jerk away though, merely taking deep breaths once the contact is broken.
And then she sees Fei's eyes misting over and he speaks words in the elvish tongue... and she cannot resist her own eyes tearing up. Her hair had fallen out from behind her ears, but since she's looking down on Fei this merely has the effect of draping her hair near to Fei's own face. A single tear falls onto her meldanya's pillow, and she smiles shyly, blushing. "Amin mella lle" she repeats, feeling as though her heart was about to explode.
Dom places one of his hands on Raelle's shoulder. "Look you take all the time you need just remember." Dom steps back to join the group around her here to comfort her. "Your friends are here for you when you need us." He smiled to her as a way to assure her of his words.
"Oh, they're not that difficult," she said, setting the curling iron to heat and setting it down on the dresser. "Here, sit down here, in front of the mirror so you can see what I'm doing."

"Oh. That does look fantastic. Thank you Jaiye. I should probably hurry though, since Ghalen has been waiting outside for at least fifteen minutes now." She says a little guiltily. "He didn't say it, but he was worried about my honour, and so stayed out." she said that just a little dreamily... which is very odd for Tyrrin.
"Alright... Now, who is your dad or you mom? I'm going to go ask him or her a question."
"Alright guys, I'm going to go see if i can find a teacher who can analyze this for me."
::I don't know. I don't drink. I only drink coffee when I really really need to wake up. And even then it's mostly just slightly bitter cream and sugar.::
He turns to Tamrin. "Did you ever find out who our ethereal friend is?"
Hew stops getting up to look at her. "No you didn't hurt me. It's It's hard for me to explain. I don't think I understand. Maybe we should go somewhere to be alone." Hew looks around at the other student watching them. All the while getting more self aware as he does. Hew slowly climbs to his feet and reaches his non bloody hand out to help her up. His hand was shaking from nerves. Why am I so nervous. I hope she doesn't see the bulge in my pants. She's so pretty, like an angel.
"Okay, Hew-kun. I don't really being the center of attention like this anyway." she responds quietly, looking around at their onlookers. So many strangers looking at her made her nervous. She takes his hand and stands with his help, wondering why his pants were wierdly shaped. Fabric doesn't fall that way normally. She doesn't say anything though, as Hew-kun appeared to be trying to cover it.
"Simply put, I wish to study here. I have heard that this is a place where young minds may come and challenge themselves. I have a small amount of coin, if there is a fee for enrollment." Repp says graciously, a small smile on his face as he studies the Headmaster's expression.
"There is no fee. Everything is provided free of charge. Think of it as my way of saying 'Thank you for coming before you accidentally destroy half a continent' to my students. Here's a list of the classes we provide and their descriptions. You can pick six, or five with a study period, and one must be either Physical Education or Advanced Physical Education."

"Well, that is excellent. Do I need to make my selections now? Is there anything else I should be made aware of? Rules for the school, perhaps?" Repparyn asks, his manner formal, even if there is a small smile on his face.
::I don't know. I don't drink. I only drink coffee when I really really need to wake up. And even then it's mostly just slightly bitter cream and sugar.::
He turns to Tamrin. "Did you ever find out who our ethereal friend is?"
"I did - and I don't think it's anything to worry about. Just a very curious family member," he replies with a smirk.
"Well. Another eventful day...." ;P
An image of all the eggs in the hatchery floods Tamrin's mind when he explains things to Tyb.
"Sounds like someone plans to be an adventurer." He says fondly as he attempts to pat the young dragon on the head.
Vai begins to panic slightly when Fei pulls her closer, but after a moment the instinctive reaction to fight that pull is gone. Fei's hand on her waist is gentle and tender. Loving.

A single tear falls onto her meldanya's pillow, and she smiles shyly, blushing. "Amin mella lle" she repeats, feeling as though her heart was about to explode.
Fei places his now free hand back on his chest and smiles up at Vai, her face floating above his, framed by the golden curtain of her hair.
Fei places his now free hand back on his chest and smiles up at Vai, her face floating above his, framed by the golden curtain of her hair.
"You should rest now." she says tenderly, realizing just now that her hand was still in his. She hadn't broken that contact... even in the midst of her panic. She squeezes it lightly, and doesn't let go. "I'll stay here as long as you want me by your side."
"Okay, Hew-kun. I don't really being the center of attention like this anyway." she responds quietly, looking around at their onlookers. So many strangers looking at her made her nervous. She takes his hand and stands with his help, wondering why his pants were wierdly shaped. Fabric doesn't fall that way normally. She doesn't say anything though, as Hew-kun appeared to be trying to cover it.
Hew lead them to a empty classroom that was near by. Upon first glance the room looked like a science room. Sinks and equipment was spread around the room. Hew walked over to a sink and washed his hands and face. I don't know why I even said this idea. What am I suppose to say. I've already made myself look like a fool. He turned around. "I'm sorry Midori I've just made your day hard. I even caused people to laugh at you for being around me. If you don't want to be around me anymore I understand." He shook his head disappointed in himself. He hasn't been able to control himself this whole day. Maybe he shouldn't have taken back over. Things wouldn't have gone so wrong.
"I do not know the laws of your people but I doubt they hold true any more. If you feel it would be disrespectful for me to step upon the Sun so be it. I understand that much of your people's history and knowledge has been taken off the Sun already. People miss small and ancient things that could be important however. I am a scholar and gathering this knowledge is what I do. As for could I stand the heat, I do not know I would be willing to try. I will abide with your decision. What ever it maybe about this." Salis nods to him and takes a step back. He hoped Lang could go at least. If he wasn't allowed to search for what is left maybe Lang would.
"I think it would be immensely disrespectful at an already trying time. And I doubt you could survive it easily."
"Oh. That does look fantastic. Thank you Jaiye. I should probably hurry though, since Ghalen has been waiting outside for at least fifteen minutes now." She says a little guiltily. "He didn't say it, but he was worried about my honour, and so stayed out." she said that just a little dreamily... which is very odd for Tyrrin.
"Sounds like your kind of guy. Have fun, Tyrrin. I mean it," she said, the twinkle in her eyes contradicting the sternness of her tone.
"Alright... Now, who is your dad or you mom? I'm going to go ask him or her a question."
"My mom is named Pyra and my dad is named Sorchan." She giggled. "It's weird saying my parents' names. They're just Mom and Dad."
Renkai and melody finish their dance with a long dip and an even longer kiss, "that was amazing, you are a gifted dancer, better than I recalled"
