Vai grimaces when Melody mentioned the playback, and nods her head without saying anything. The less she thought about those images, the better. "Fei is fully recovered, with Johnny's help. He's still tired though, but with some rest he will be fine."Vai glances at Sadie, taking the hint of herself removing the conversation as encouragement for Vai to have her own pupil. "If you want to try Melody, I can help you get a practice sword and some padding.. though it might not fit properly. I got this stuff fitted for me." she says, indicating her own gear. "Only if you want to try of course. I can show you some of the basics."
Before melody answers she pulls out her datapad and competely erases the playback gone.
Well lets give it a try then. she accepts the offer to try the padding and a practice sword.
finding the outfit a bit awkward but mostly usable. Maelody hadles the practice sword with basic textbook style. she appears to have had some training but it was apparent it was nothing she really persued.
so how do we start? and you will be less distracting that Kai was I am sure
"I'm not entirely sure Ignace could make the flight on her own... it is quite a distance to the Sun. Unless we are able to use one of the shuttles we had this morning..."
Ardiente looks away when Lang mentions Firebending... hesitating for a moment before turning back. "I am... not only a firebender. I am only an earthbender.... for the longest time I believed myself to be the Avatar." he says without any preamble. A shocking revelation no doubt, that there was another capable of bending more than one element. "That is why I became disturbed left you so quickly that morning."
Lang looks with understanding. If it matters at all, when I found out that I was. I actually wished it wasn't true. It seems there is so much more than just bending concerning the Avatar. The bending is just a tool, from what I have been reading, the Avatar is a spriritual leader for all races. a promoter of peace and balance. I don't know if I can live up to that but I want to try. And if saving the Sun is what needs to be done I will try.
Lang goes back to check another book I still need an earth bending and fire bending teacher. know anybody?

Salis sits near by reading through the books looking for anything information that could help them. Salis was sure that if he was born here this would have much easier for him. Half these books would have been devoted to his memory to begin with.
He silently took notes upon the situation and information that he was learning. To everyone around it was pretty obvious what all the ink stains had came from. He had fill one book with information already and had been working on filling two others. One could only guess why he had been putting notes in two books.
Ace, perhaps a bit surprisingly given his roguish exterior, knows exactly how to react in response to one who is obviously an important dignitary "You are correct mi lady, I hail from a world known as Eberron. I have only just arrived to Agartha recently, within the last three months or so. On my world, I am a High Priest of a deity known as the Traveler."
He looks at her a bit more closely, but not in a rude or gawking manner. "You bear a striking resemblance to a good friend of mine. I am guessing you are her esteemed mother?"
Just need to know she's High Seer Denulia, so that what we discussed can happen
"Well I think you have some time she's going to speak to the headmaster first." Dom really wasn't sure why he was here warning them but if Tami's mother arrived he would want to be warned about it.
Jaiye curses and opens the door wider."Ehos, I'm guessing you missed that....your mother is here at the school..." she turns back to Dom. "Is she looking for him now?"
Ehos immediately stiffens, freezing in the midst of pulling a few sandwiches to set out. He glances at Jaiye, then back at his datapad.
He goes to get the datapad, which was resting on the rather underused desk, and then brusquely walks over to Jaiye. 'Thanks. It was Dom right? I appreciate it.' he displays to the guy at the door, putting his hand on the small of Jaiye's back as he approached. 'Jaiye... I'm not ashamed of you. I'm not going to hide you from her. The question is: do you want to meet her?'
Jaiye took a deep breath and gave him a shaky smile. "Well...I might as well get it over with. I mean, your sister is my best friend and I'm dating you...I'll have to meet her eventually."
"I'm kinda terrified....just so you know." The admission was rather cute though the set of her ears and the droop of her tail made her mood blatantly obvious.
"This visit is more about what I can deo for you....your mother just arrived at the school accompanying a delivery of supplies to the firebird refugee camp. She said she would be greeting the headmaster first. I thought you'd want to know rather than being surprised."Tyrrin doesn't look shocked in the slightest, and merely nods. "Ah... sooner than I expected. Thank you very much for this information, Tamina" Tyrrin says informally, using her first name, which was virtually unheard of.
She pauses still at the doorway, and says. "Was there anything else?"
Tami shook her head. "No, I just thought you'd appreciate some warning. I know I would in your position. I asked Dom to warn Ehos, so he doesn't get surprised either....Good luck."
With that she turned to go, heading towards Dom in order to hopefully salvage some of their night.
"I thank you Ignis. And for now, I think I will see about something to eat. Either of you want to join me?"
:: now that you mention it, I didn't eat much at all during lunch. My client can wait, I'm doing my work for free anyway.::
When Tamina finds Dom he is on the third floor looking out a window in a small lounge area. When he sees her he turns to her his face full of happiness. "I was hoping you would find me quickly." Stepping close to her he slides his hand to her cheek and kisses her. His other hand he places gently upon her hip. After a moment he places his forehead and nose against hers. "Hi." He whispers as he stares in her eyes.
:: now that you mention it, I didn't eat much at all during lunch. My client can wait, I'm doing my work for free anyway.::
"What kind of work do you do?"
:: i craft blades, witch are apparently excellent.::
he "says" this with much scepticisim to the matter.
Before melody answers she pulls out her datapad and competely erases the playback gone.

"Well, at least you have the basic grip and stance right." Vai says, watching Melody with an appraising eye. She felt a bit silly teaching someone. She was trying to act like Sadie, walking around Melody and giving small tidbits of advice on stance and grip.
"Hey, are you saying I'm not pretty?" Vai mock-complains about being less distracting than Melody's boyfriend, but she quickly smiles.
"Alright, so I want you to attack me, however you want. You don't have to worry too much about hurting me either, because of the padding." Vai stances in an immaculate stance... and then suddenly leathery blue wings spring out of her back. She doesn't take to the air, but the wings are flared up, ready to help her keep balance.

Stepping close to her he slides his hand to her cheek and kisses her. His other hand he places gently upon her hip. After a moment he places his forehead and nose against hers. "Hi."

She sighed and relaxed into his embrace, finally letting go of the tension that had gripped her since they met High Seer Denulia on the road.
"Ve tae," she whispered back.
:: i craft blades, witch are apparently excellent.::
he "says" this with much scepticisim to the matter.
"You seem to disagree with this assessment."
"Alright, I've cross referenced almost every blueprint and map there is of the sun and I can't find a single one that suggests any actual mechanical use for this intake vent that's just sort of off here by itself. But according to the catalog there should be one more map around here somewhere...."
She pulls a few sheets of paper out of her satchel and folds them quickly with a bit of magic into a monkey. She shows the monkey the catalog number for the missing map.
"Fetch this please."
The paper monkey hopped up and down and then scampered off.
"Magical research assistants....I don't know what I'd do without them."
Lang looks with understanding. If it matters at all, when I found out that I was. I actually wished it wasn't true. It seems there is so much more than just bending concerning the Avatar.

"I'm definitely not a leader, so it's probably a good thing I'm not the Avatar." Ardiente says matter-of-factly. He was a soldier after all. A bodyguard. His job was to remain quiet and follow until the fighting started. Leadership was to be left to the Nobles.
"This is an awful weight to place on someone so young, Lang. I will do whatever I can to help you. Though... I do not believe the Sun can be saved. We must do whatever we can to preserve it's history... and if there truly is a Temple of Fire there, we will preserve that as well."
Ardiente sounds a little defeated, but is trying very hard to hold his head high. Proud, like a Firebird ought to be. It was difficult of course, considering he wasn't even a full Firebird. "If you would like, Lang, I can teach you both."

Vai stances in an immaculate stance... and then suddenly leathery blue wings spring out of her back. She doesn't take to the air, but the wings are flared up, ready to help her keep balance.
Melody takes an attack stance pure textbook she maneuvers calculating each potential strike point. Vai manuvers to continually face Melody.
then with a lunge similar to what she did with Kai earlier she attempts to attack
Attack seemed adequete to a lesser trained opponent. but still she lacked any real practical skill with the blade.
Vai, I really appreciate this, but there is something I really wanted to talk to about. its a girl thing and I don't really have any girlfriends at the school yet.
Melody contiues to try and trike at Vai. her steps seem to be rythmic, like keeping a tempo of a song. and she strikes a second attack (during her conversation.
"I suppose Vare could polymorph me... but I don't know. It feels like cheating. Like I'm not being true to myself." Rena says, somewhat despondantly. "You are right though, that fear is a powerful instinct. It seems to be less here though." Rena waves her tail in a broad sweeping motion, to encompass the grounds. "I am glad that you are not afraid of me, Anahita."
While this conversation has been going, Vare has been removing the lids from the various trays and dishes he has set out. There's various delicious smelling aromas, most particularily the seared fish - covered in earthy spices, and somewhat soaked in lemon juice. The sides compliment the dish well - creamed spinach, boiled potatoes dressed with dill butter. There is some sort of roe with white rice which seems to be the appetizer. For dessert there is set out a small-ish plate of fruit with cream.
Vare serves himself and Anahita a plate, and pulls the lid off of a larger dish, clearly meant for Rena, with another whole fish inside. Rena takes a deep whiff, and smiles in delight. "I do not require food, but that doesn't lessen the taste of it at all." Rena says, looking hungrily at her plate.
"Well, this certainly smells delicious. I'm salivating just at the thought of biting in." That said, she gives her thanks to Vare and starts to eat, using her fingers. It's more efficient, after all.
"Mmmm.. tasty. Where did you get the ingredients?" She eats with vigor, not rudely, but, certainly cleans her mouth and chews with it shut, so there are some manners after all.
:: they can't be that good... It's not like i do this professionally... ::
"You know I haven't had a chance to look that up, yet. Perhaps private lessons are in order." Dom teased as he held her not wanting to ever let her go.
He pushed any thoughts of tonight's encounter away and so that only his thoughts of Tami remained.
"Alright, I've cross referenced almost every blueprint and map there is of the sun and I can't find a single one that suggests any actual mechanical use for this intake vent that's just sort of off here by itself. But according to the catalog there should be one more map around here somewhere...."

"Magical research assistants....I don't know what I'd do without them."
Salis looked up from his books to Ori as she told them of the blueprints, discrepancy. When she made her comment about the research assistant he cracked a real smile. "That would be a great boon to any research."
"I'm definitely not a leader, so it's probably a good thing I'm not the Avatar." Ardiente says matter-of-factly. He was a soldier after all. A bodyguard. His job was to remain quiet and follow until the fighting started. Leadership was to be left to the Nobles.

Ardiente sounds a little defeated, but is trying very hard to hold his head high. Proud, like a Firebird ought to be. It was difficult of course, considering he wasn't even a full Firebird. "If you would like, Lang, I can teach you both."
That was why I asked, when it comes to bending, You are unique, like me. You may not be the Avatar, but that no reason why you can't stand by his side. Lang bows to Ardiente Sifu Ardiente
Lang then turns his attention to Ori. do you think that means anything? He motions for the others to gather around to see what she has found.
"Don't worry Lang ill help you out with whatever you need, you don't have to do this alone,'you have friends"
"Don't worry Lang ill help you out with whatever you need, you don't have to do this alone,'you have friends"
Lang looks to grim as though sizing him up I don't know if you are awesome enough he says with a joking smile.
I know you will Grim, thanks
"I can't play that... I don't know how to play that" "look if you really want me to I'll play on the fiddle there, ""Mkay. Looks like they're goin on break anyways." ^_^
He appears at the piano.
"Anyone got an idea? Country western maybe?"
"how about fire on the mountain, you guys know that one? I'll lead"
"how about fire on the mountain, you guys know that one? I'll lead" 1d20+10+8+3+1-2"I can't play that... I don't know how to play that" "look if you really want me to I'll play on the fiddle there, ""Mkay. Looks like they're goin on break anyways." ^_^

He pushed any thoughts of tonight's encounter away and so that only his thoughts of Tami remained.
"Can you really not guess what it means, melnestae?" she asked with a mysterious smile.
She kissed him on one eye. "Ve tae," she murmured.
She kissed him on the other eye. "Ve tae."
She gave him a long and lingering kiss on the lips. "Ve tae," she sighed.
She leaned in close and whispered in his ear, "Ve tae means I love you."
Salis looked up from his books to Ori as she told them of the blueprints, discrepancy. When she made her comment about the research assistant he cracked a real smile. "That would be a great boon to any research.""Alright, I've cross referenced almost every blueprint and map there is of the sun and I can't find a single one that suggests any actual mechanical use for this intake vent that's just sort of off here by itself.

"Magical research assistants....I don't know what I'd do without them."
"I can show you the spell if you like...I'm not sure if paper magic would work for you or not, but I'm happy to teach it to you," she said, smiling back. She was having a surprisingly good time.
Lang then turns his attention to Ori. do you think that means anything? He motions for the others to gather around to see what she has found.
"I want to cross-reference the missing blueprint to be sure, but I think this is the most likely candidate for the entrance to Voltair's temple. As you suspected earlier since it's nowhere near the other air vents he built."
:: they can't be that good... It's not like i do this professionally... ::
"Can I see an example of your work?"
"Can you really not guess what it means, melnestae?" she asked with a mysterious smile.She kissed him on one eye. "Ve tae," she murmured.
She kissed him on the other eye. "Ve tae."
She gave him a long and lingering kiss on the lips. "Ve tae," she sighed.
She leaned in close and whispered in his ear, "Ve tae means I love you."
His heart stopped when he heard her confirm his suspicion. "I had my suspicions. I just wanted to here it from you." He whispered back. He could feel her soft breath on his neck. It sent a shock through him straight to his still heart causing it to burst into motion. He knew Tamina could feel it reaching out to embrace her. "Ve tae." He said clearly.
"Don't worry Lang ill help you out with whatever you need, you don't have to do this alone,'you have friends"Lang looks to grim as though sizing him up I don't know if you are awesome enough he says with a joking smile.
I know you will Grim, thanks
Grim smiles softly "guess I'll have to be awesome for the both of us then"
He looked at the two carefree boys. He couldn't remember a time when he was like that. Back in the monastery it was all silence. When he first started adventuring was the first time he ever heard laughter. This place was alien to him but he was starting to like being here.
"I'm sorry Ori, I must decline. I took a vow to never use arcane magics it is almost law to those of.... they're order. Second thought I may take you up on that offer. Magic work much differently here perhaps there reasoning doesn't apply here as well."
After she tells the boys about her cross-refrencing. "It's something you always want to do. Books don't always hold truth in the normal way. Sometimes it's hidden between the lies of history."
Lang looks to Salis.
Master Salis. he says upon hearing about his vow.
you have taken a vow to live a life according to your beliefs. It does not matter what world you are on nor how magic works in other worlds. that promise, that Vow was not made just to your order, but to yourself. do not abandon it. consider carefully your actions. please
Salis can sense that despite his young years there is something about Lang that indicates his knowledge of vows and thier importance.
His heart stopped when he heard her confirm his suspicion. "I had my suspicions. I just wanted to here it from you." He whispered back. He could feel her soft breath on his neck. It sent a shock through him straight to his still heart causing it to burst into motion. He knew Tamina could feel it reaching out to embrace her. "Ve tae." He said clearly.

She kissed him on the other eye. "Ve tae."
She gave him a long and lingering kiss on the lips. "Ve tae," she sighed.
She leaned in close and whispered in his ear, "Ve tae means I love you."
Her heart was racing. She hadn't realized until he said them how much it meant to her to hear the words.
She drew back from hisw embrace pulling him after her. "We should go back to your room before I end up doing indecent things to you in a public place, melnestae," she said, laughing from sheer giddiness. "That means beloved in case you were wondering."
Lang looks to Salis.

Salis can sense that despite his young years there is something about Lang that indicates his knowledge of vows and thier importance.
Salis calmly explains slightly hesitantly. "You speak truth however my vows have been left behind long ago. They are only habit to me any more. Some of the vows were only made for truths that are not truths here without those truths the vow is invalid. I can not explain this further without betraying that orders trust. I am sorry."
Lang looks to Salis.

"Some oaths are meant to be broken!!" Ardiente interjects fiercely, gripping his left arm with his right hand tightly.
Her heart was racing. She hadn't realized until he said them how much it meant to her to hear the words.
She drew back from hisw embrace pulling him after her. "We should go back to your room before I end up doing indecent things to you in a public place, melnestae," she said, laughing from sheer giddiness. "That means beloved in case you were wondering."
He slightly laughed at the fact she forgot that she had explained that earlier.
As they moved through the door way of his room. He took her hand and turned her to look into his eyes. His body full of emotion. Every inch of his body was on fire with passion. "I will always be there for you Tamina Saeaera. Ve tae, I love you." He finishes as the door closes behind them sealing them off from the world behind them.
Lang looks to both of them. I repsect your decision, it's just not the way I was taught. prehaps I do need to learn more, but I cannot so easily abandon my vows, nor would I want to.
Lang looks to Ardiente
I only hope that an oath to be at my side and to train me is not one of those oaths.

He looks at her a bit more closely, but not in a rude or gawking manner. "You bear a striking resemblance to a good friend of mine. I am guessing you are her esteemed mother?"
"Indeed? I should like to hear more about how you came past the wards. If there are holes in our protection, I should like to know of them, that we might repair it." The High Seer responds, glancing at the roguish young man's entourage (Ginni and the puppy), though her expression remains unreadable. "Who is your companion?"
"You are... a friend of Tyrrin's? That is interesting. Yes, I am her Mother, High Seer Faelwen Denulia." The High Seer seems to have taken a keen interest in the pair standing outside the school doors.
Jaiye took a deep breath and gave him a shaky smile. "Well...I might as well get it over with. I mean, your sister is my best friend and I'm dating you...I'll have to meet her eventually."
"I'm kinda terrified....just so you know." The admission was rather cute though the set of her ears and the droop of her tail made her mood blatantly obvious.
Ehos looked around the room. He wasn't sure if he should be terrified either. His heart twanged though when Jaiye's ears and tail drooped. It was so adorable. He tried to smile for her, but it was shaky too. 'Listen Jaiye, I've spent my whole life trying to avoid her will. If she doesn't like you, that'll be her problem, just like everything else I've done that she doesn't like.'
...
Vai skillfully parries both blows, the wooden practice swords clacking as they make contact. The dragon-winged girl is moving in a slow circle now, testing Melody's reflexes by feinting this way and that. Just an easy routine to follow. She does not actually move to strike Melody. "What is it? I mean... I might not exactly be the best person to ask."
At the mention of the High Seer's name, Ace appears to get dizzy and sways a bit on his feet. He seems like he's about to fall over, and nearly does, when suddenly he catches himself, "Ugh, ooh, that wasn't good. That's the second time that's happened to me today." He says, half to himself
He shakes his head, and blinks a few times, "My sincerest apologizes High Seer, I am unsure what came over me. But I assure you, it has passed. The lovely young lady is Ginni, my girlfriend. The little ball of fur in her hands is a puppy we rescued just prior to meeting you."

"What is it? I mean... I might not exactly be the best person to ask."
Vai can tell Melody's heart really isn't into the duel at hand as her reations to each fent is way off.
Melody glances toward Kai teaching some others. she lowers her sword and grabs Vai's arm to lead her outside. I can't here, come on
Once outside the room
Vai, how did you know for sure you and Fei were in Love? I'm having mixed feelings about Kai. I'm...I don't know, I hate feeling like this. I mean do I love him? or don't I. sometimes he just...makes me so frustrated...I don't know what to think or feel anymore
She looks at Vai. And I had another incident or so Kai tells me, you know forgetting what happened
Lang looks to both of them. I repsect your decision, it's just not the way I was taught. prehaps I do need to learn more, but I cannot so easily abandon my vows, nor would I want to.
Lang looks to Ardiente
I only hope that an oath to be at my side and to train me is not one of those oaths.
"Nor should you, young one. I however can never go back to my vows. I only can hold there teachings close. I pray you never have to make a choice between your vows and what's right like I have." Looking to Ardiente "I suspect that Ardiente has had to make that choice as well. He still shows the pain of leaving behind his vow and that tells be more about if he can be trusted than any unbroken vow could. Someday you will understand, but today you should just hold your own vows close." He seemed to relax as the conversation move away from his own order and home.
"I thank you Ignis. And for now, I think I will see about something to eat. Either of you want to join me?"
::O yes sounds nice::
Star says to both of them
::I like flowers and they have very nice ones here, full of nectar::
"how about fire on the mountain, you guys know that one? I'll lead" 1d20+10+8+3+1-2
Johnny takes 10 +15 25 Johnny pays like Ringo Star, ok but not great.
:: they can't be that good... It's not like i do this professionally... ::"Can I see an example of your work?"
Star land on Kezzins shoulder to get a look
"Well, this certainly smells delicious. I'm salivating just at the thought of biting in." That said, she gives her thanks to Vare and starts to eat, using her fingers. It's more efficient, after all.
"Mmmm.. tasty. Where did you get the ingredients?" She eats with vigor, not rudely, but, certainly cleans her mouth and chews with it shut, so there are some manners after all.
Vare digs in with his hands as well, obviously some point during his life he has lost eating manners - if he ever lost them. He also chews with his mouth shut, but only seems to clean his hands if they get too grubby, or once he's done eating. "I am glad you enjoy it. I had some help from the kitchens, and the school's larder provided the ingredients."
Rena was eating rather noisy, as her snout and lack of hands or other limbs make it difficult. Vare watches her eat with a reserved smile.
He seems content at this moment to merely relax and enjoy the food and presence of Anahita and Rena.
