"Um turkey legs?" When Lang leaves grim turns to Ignance "so, um other than clothes is there anything else you do for fun?"
"Not really. Uh...I draw a little...mostly just for patterns though. I haven't really done much else since I was trying to avoid people."
"Zilla says that she's sorry that she made you worry and for holding that knife on you Midori. What? Knife? I don't remember a knife. then again your mind was moving like a lightning bolt. Which is really hard to block." He seems to listen for a second. "Ok you want Midori to come to the mindscape? Alright she heard. Wait I can't come or listen to your mind. What are two going to talk about. Pfft Secret since when did we start keeping secrets from each other." Hew looked over to Midori. "Um do you want to go talk to her? I'll explain if you don't." Hew asked her nervously.
"She didn't... I mean." she says now, pausing to listen to Hew-kun talk to Zilla-chan. "Um. Okay. If I can remember how to. Let me try." She walks towards him and takes his hand. Her face is really close to his, but she smiles and lightly rests her horn on his forehead. For a moment, Hew might think she had been about to kiss him.
THe young kunoichi casts her awareness into Hew-kun's mind, her horn glowing as she does.
Once Tyrrin had headed off for her date Jaiye returns to Ehos.
"Alright, slight addendum to the plan. First I have to go to a meeting of the disorganized, primarily to tell them they need to wait because people aren't available for a meeting at the drop of a hat, and then we can get a picnic supper and take it to my room."
Ace shrugs, "Perhaps it wasn't all that big a deal to you, but I bet Fei is glad you assisted us. Anyways, I just wanted to officially clear the air between us. I'm off for a date, be well Tybalt"
With that, he leaves and goes to meet up with Ginni.
"Well, you asked me earlier if we could talk later...and it's later. You probably forgot with all of the...stuff earlier. I..uh...also have a favor to ask. Not that you owe me any favors. Especially after this morning..."Answers the door, and looks shocked, puzzzled and utmost and foremost happy to see Raelle, though it eeks out through the sade of today's announcement
"Oh wow, uh, hey Raelle. You are probably the last person I expected to see, after today. What can I do for you?"
He looks serious for a sec, then reaches into the room and grabs a duffle bag. "Be back later bro." he says to Igni.
"I need to head into Kuros, do you mind if we walk and talk? What's this favor you need? Need another trip somewhere?" he says as he walks. There is no hint of any nastiness or animosity toward her at all. There hasn't been since he agreed to take her and Sorchan to find Ardiente. Instead now, he responds with the measured tone of someone talking to a long lost friend returned.
"My lady." he says with a smile, and a formal bow. He looks, but his gaze doesn't linger in any one place long enough to be considered inappropriate. He takes her hand, if allowed, and kisses it, then he offers her his arm again.
"You look beautiful, Tyrrin. Shall we?"
Tyrrin allows him to take her hand and kiss it. She actually blushes a little. "Thank you. You are quite handsome yourself. So, what do you have planned for us tonight?"
"She didn't... I mean." she says now, pausing to listen to Hew-kun talk to Zilla-chan. "Um. Okay. If I can remember how to. Let me try." She walks towards him and takes his hand. Her face is really close to his, but she smiles and lightly rests her horn on his forehead.

The mindscapeseems about the same still changes with each movement between the two scenes. The feeling of dread that once was felt there now gone. Instead it felt as though it was full of joy.
Zilla stands there waiting for Midori. "Oh you made it!" Zilla rushes to her and hugs her. "Oh it's so good to see you again. thought you might be angry with me. I don't know where that knife even came from." She pulled back from the hug soon after.

"You look beautiful, Tyrrin. Shall we?"
He smirks... "I plan for us to have a nice quiet, relaxed evening, just enjoying each other's company and some good conversation, and hopefully good food. Does that sound agreeable, My Lady?"
Dave puts his hand on tybalt's shoulder "are you all right?"
Once Tyrrin had headed off for her date Jaiye returns to Ehos.
"Alright, slight addendum to the plan. First I have to go to a meeting of the disorganized, primarily to tell them they need to wait because people aren't available for a meeting at the drop of a hat, and then we can get a picnic supper and take it to my room."
Ehos thinks for a moment and then nods. 'Sure. I might as well tag along, even if I'm not included in this. The faster this is done, the faster we can get to that... hm. Chocolate sauce did you say?'
"Bye then."
To Dave once Casil is gone. "ya I'm fine. A little scared though. He could still be dangerous. There's all kinds of things that could go wrong. If he attacked me because I was a friend of someone he's on bad terms with I'm afraid what could happen if he gets mad for a real reason and 'the other guy' takes over again." :/
Tybalt returns to the table and awaits the arrival of the others.
Dave gives him a quick but firm hug and goes over to the others.
The cat likes hugs. "Thanks." He says with a soft smile. You can tell it really means a lot to him.
The mindscape seems about the same still changes with each movement between the two scenes. The feeling of dread that once was felt there now gone. Instead it felt as though it was full of joy.
Zilla stands there waiting for Midori. "Oh you made it!" Zilla rushes to her and hugs her. "Oh it's so good to see you again. thought you might be angry with me. I don't know where that knife even came from." She pulled back from the hug soon after.
Midori smiles and returns her friend's hug, trying not to move overmuch so that the mindscape shifts as little as possible. It's a bit disorienting, after all. "Ano... that was my kunai, Zilla-chan. I meant to show you that I trusted you, even with a knife to my throat. I'm sorry for scaring you like that." she breaks the hug and bows to her friend. "Please forgive me."
Dave smiles but says nothing.
He smirks... "I plan for us to have a nice quiet, relaxed evening, just enjoying each other's company and some good conversation, and hopefully good food. Does that sound agreeable, My Lady?"
"Very much so. Please. Lead the way." this was more Tyrrin's speed. A little more formal than their outing to the restaurant. She felt more in control here. Which was probably a good thing.
Ghalen will probably note that she appears to be a great deal more rested than the last time they spoke. As if she had her best night's sleep in a long time last night.
He looks serious for a sec, then reaches into the room and grabs a duffle bag. "Be back later bro." he says to Igni.

Instead now, he responds with the measured tone of someone talking to a long lost friend returned.
"Yeah, walking and talking is fine. No, no more trips for a while I think..." she said, falling into step alongside him, although she had to work to keep up. He was just enough taller than her that she had to take one and a half steps to his one.
"It's about Ardiente. I'm sure you noticed when he took off during the assembly earlier. I haven't even seen him since. But I know how difficult it was for him to cope even before we found out about the riot and the sun being disassembled...I'm pretty sure he's blaming himself for all of it. I already spoke to my friends about this, and I know they'll try, but I think he's more likely to listen to another firebird. I was kinda hoping you might be able to talk to him...help him understand that this isn't his fault..."
Ehos thinks for a moment and then nods. 'Sure. I might as well tag along, even if I'm not included in this. The faster this is done, the faster we can get to that... hm. Chocolate sauce did you say?'Once Tyrrin had headed off for her date Jaiye returns to Ehos.

"Yep...let's just say I was planning on having dessert be on you," she said with a mischievous smile.
She led the way to the library, looking around for Tybs since she recognized his voice from the announcement over the intercom.
Midori smiles and returns her friend's hug, trying not to move overmuch so that the mindscape shifts as little as possible. It's a bit disorienting, after all. "Ano... that was my kunai, Zilla-chan. I meant to show you that I trusted you, even with a knife to my throat. I'm sorry for scaring you like that." she breaks the hug and bows to her friend. "Please forgive me."
Zilla shacks her head no while trying to get Midori to stop bowing. "No I should apologize you didn't do anything wrong. I didn't trust you when I should have. Time and time again you have shown that I could trust you and I still didn't trust you. I'm so sorry. Please stay my friend. You and Hew are my closest friends, I don't want to lose ether of you." Tears start to rolling down her cheeks.
As she gets there, there is a small group of people. "Hi Jaiye." :) the catfolk that liked comic books greets her. "I didn't know you were coming on this."
'It certainly will save on dishes!' Ehos responds playfully to Jaiye's dessert suggestion.
----
Tybalt may also recognize the elf who Jaiye is holding hands with as the one who was causing her distress that day in Stealth.
Melody, thank you for the chance to teach you" he says, not taking off his blindfold...
he slips a pair of metal bars into his palms
"come"
Melody looks at him questionably are you sure?
she shrugs and steps in sword ready. taking a La Verdadera Destreza fighting technique.
she appears to be knowledgable in the style but without practical experience she can only perform textbook manuevers.
Treisdan enters after jaiye and ehos
His walk muffled and the staff thumping like always, he scans the group of people and shows very little emotion but, when he realizes the power of the group, (having seen ace leave) he has a nervous taping of his ring on his staff and subtle shifting of his feet and stance.
Zilla shacks her head no while trying to get Midori to stop bowing. "No I should apologize you didn't do anything wrong. I didn't trust you when I should have. Time and time again you have shown that I could trust you and I still didn't trust you. I'm so sorry. Please stay my friend. You and Hew are my closest friends, I don't want to lose ether of you." Tears start to rolling down her cheeks.
"Don't cry Zilla-chan!" Midori says worriedly. She hugs her friend, still careful of the horn even inside the mindscape. "I don't want to stop being your friend! Hew-kun too, even if he's acting strange."

Ah missed it my bad [/ooc]
Renkai's acute senses let him know her general location, and he shifts into a lower stance, his right hand straying to the left to block his core

Melody circles her opponentlooking for the calaculated response, but Kai is no ordinalry student opponent his moves honed from experience.
Melody tries to draw him into her circle and thrusts
One of Renkai's hands moves with blurred quickness, deflecting the blade up, it passes by his temple, tearing away the blindfold, and he grins
"that was efficient and surprisingly well placed....have you had formal training?" Renkai asks with only the faintest hints of tease

a little, just the Destreza style. I find it versitile she says, once again calculating her next move
Then when she believes an oppurtunity exists she strikes with two quick attacks
As she moves in Melody stumbles on her dress throwing off the strike and tearing a hem as well.
She appears quite upset
Tybalt looks over the people gathered. We had a very good set for this.
Renkai sees the problem instantly, after catching the blade's swings on his defense bars he calmly says... "You may want to change, dresses are...unsuited to dueling... Have you any other clothes?"

Melody lowers her sword I have just my school uniform here. The rest are in your room
she lowers her head in feeling of a failure.
wish I could learn your sword skills as easily as you learned guitar she says with the pouty face

"ah, melody...I was raised around all my life...you will learn in time" Renkai replies, smiling, "I'll go....get one of the dueling outfits for you..."
With that he sprints out the door
Melody quickly programs a changing screen for when he returns.

"well you don't need to avoid everybody you are allowed to have friends, some people, like Me and Lang are rather durable"
After his conversation with the Headmaster is over, Repp goes to find his assigned room and deposits some of his things. He changes into his school uniform so that he's not mistaken for an outsider, and then proceeds to wander the halls. He listens in on small snatches of conversation, trying to get a feel for the mood of the school.
After a few more minutes, a voice intruded into Sorchan's mind. A calm measured voice, and practiced at telepathy. There is a certain dangerous power in her words as well, but no threat - at least at the moment. ::Pardon my intrusion, sir. Am I correct in assuming that you are the Honourable Sorchan Del Sol? I am High Seer Faelwen Denulia.:: The name is accompanied by an image of the High Seer. A tall, regal elf in a complex dress, with a small tiara atop her head. Many of her features mirror Tyrrin's... but she is considerably older. There is a streak of gray in her black hair. "I would speak with you in person, but I am currently overseeing the preparation of supplies for your people. How else may the elves of Laeren assist your people in this trying time?::
Tybalt looks at oneiro. "Who else are we to expect?"
"Don't cry Zilla-chan!" Midori says worriedly. She hugs her friend, still careful of the horn even inside the mindscape. "I don't want to stop being your friend! Hew-kun too, even if he's acting strange."
"Thank you Midori. Your a great friend." She simply said with the worry in he voice gone. She pulls out of the hug. "What's Hew doing? He's not being mean is he?" Zilla asks with a hint of anger.
Salis makes no attempt at joining the group as they start to gather. Instead he keeps looking through different books. Still he keeps jotting down notes, one would expect them to be about the books he has looked through.
"Thank you Midori. Your a great friend." She simply said with the worry in he voice gone. She pulls out of the hug. "What's Hew doing? He's not being mean is he?" Zilla asks with a hint of anger.
"No! He's just... his face is all red and he got a bloody nose when I fell on him even though he says I didn't hurt him... and he kept doing this." Midori makes a motion like she was trying to cover her private area. "And he.. I dunno! It's just weird, ne?!"
"for all i know, it already has. I'm just tying to figure out why this appeared"
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"No! He's just... his face is all red and he got a bloody nose when I fell on him even though he says I didn't hurt him... and he kept doing this." Midori makes a motion like she was trying to cover her private area. "And he.. I dunno! It's just weird, ne?!"
Zilla smiles really wide and pulls Midori in for a much tighter hug. It only lasts a second but she could tell it was a happy hug. After she hugged her she slowly pulled back and looked Midori in the eyes. "I think it's time for some girl talk. What do you think about Hew?"
"Girl talk? About clothing and...?" Midori asks somewhat naively. She really doesn't have a clue about this stuff. "Ano. Hew-kun? He's... ano. He's brave, and honourable. He tries really hard for his friends. He always seems to be watching out for me... but I can take care of myself most of the time."
Midori shakes her black-haired head. "He was one of my first friends at Avalon." she adds on, matter-of-factly.
"Oh, uh, yeah I can talk to him, if you'd like. Probably won't be till tomorrow, though, if that's ok? Do you know where he went?"
She shook her head. "No, Mom wouldn't let me follow him during the assembly. And after....well, I pretty much got mobbed by my friends who wanted to make sure I was okay. And by the time I convinced them that I really did want to avoid people tonight I was just about out of energy. It's been a long day. But I didn't want you to think I forgot that you asked to speak to me. Especially after you helped me earlier. I just really hope he's okay. I hate to see a friend in so much pain, but I don't know how to fix it."
"well you don't need to avoid everybody you are allowed to have friends, some people, like Me and Lang are rather durable""Um turkey legs?" When Lang leaves grim turns to Ignance "so, um other than clothes is there anything else you do for fun?""Not really. Uh...I draw a little...mostly just for patterns though. I haven't really done much else since I was trying to avoid people."
"I...am trying to learn to believe that. It is hard to forget about what happened before. Even the ones who survived were badly burned and in incredible pain. If I could have gotten rid of my powers, I would have."
"Girl talk? About clothing and...?" Midori asks somewhat naively. She really doesn't have a clue about this stuff. "Ano. Hew-kun? He's... ano. He's brave, and honourable. He tries really hard for his friends. He always seems to be watching out for me... but I can take care of myself most of the time."
Midori shakes her black-haired head. "He was one of my first friends at Avalon." she adds on, matter-of-factly.
Zilla giggles slightly. "And boys of course. I don't know if you ever thought about dating a boy, before. I'm betting not. If not it's fine, but do you know what a crush is?"
After a few more minutes, a voice intruded into Sorchan's mind. A calm measured voice, and practiced at telepathy. There is a certain dangerous power in her words as well, but no threat - at least at the moment. ::Pardon my intrusion, sir. Am I correct in assuming that you are the Honourable Sorchan Del Sol?

::Thank you, High Seer,:: he said, his mental voice conveying true gratitude for the help, but also weariness. ::For now we are simply trying to focus on setting up temporary living accommodations. The transports will start bringing people and what possessions they can carry down tomorrow. And as many phoenix as possible as well, complicated by the fact that it's their nesting season. It's very chaotic here. If you know of places that would make suitable firebird settlements - active volcanoes, hot springs with geysers, deserts...really anywhere very hot that is hostile to other life and thus currently unclaimed. It will help to have options for building new homes.::
Tybalt looks at oneiro. "Who else are we to expect?"
"Well, I can tell you who won't be here. Tyrrin and Ghalen went into Kuros tonight. And in case you don't know, Jeran leaves campus every night. Don't know what he does, but there you have it. I wouldn't be here either, on account of having other plans before you called a last minute meeting with no notice, but Tyrrin would have cancelled her plans if I hadn't agreed to go for her."
