"There is always telepathy if we require privacy. I may have mentioned that my Mother is a powerful psion." Tyrrin says easily, thinking for a moment. It had been a very long time since she had simply walked for the pleasure of it. "Hmm... perhaps. Though on the other hand, perhaps it is best that he handles it on his own. I cannot always be there to save him from himself." Tyrrin says, just a little unsure. Ehos could probably use the help, but he also had to deal with the consequences of his choices. "If he is going to be with Jaiye, he needs to learn how to handle the discrimination that is going to come with it."
"Fair enough. We shall simply enjoy our dessert till your mother arrives, then go for a stroll afterwards."
several minutes into training...
"you're slowing down. get some rest."
adon's opponent relaxes a lot, breathing heavily, and then finally manages to get out "thnk you... you're... a good opponent. definatly somone who i could learn from often, if you could actually teach somone how to overcome thier waeknesses, instead of just showing our opponent that they need to get better in certian places."
adon pauses for a moment.
"i'ts my first time trying to teach. i will try and do better. I was well aware that i would just thrash the newer swordsmen and be unable to teach them antything, so i was assigned to those who had done some real training before."
adon's opponent nodded and then found a place to sit down, panting hevily.
"well... who's next?"
most everyone backs away. that was one of the more expernced pepole, and adon beat him using his non dominant hand, and doesnt even look tired. adon looks around, then sighs.
"i suppose i should take a break too."
adon sits down, and stays very still, thinking over how he can do better.
"High Seer Denulia, it's a pleasure to have you here at Avalon, even if at first glance it appears you're trying to invade." He jokes. He gestures to the tea set on his desk. "Would you like a cup of tea?"
"What reason would I need to invade? As I understand it, my daughter has already taken control of the student council. I suspect it won't be long now until she has the entire school." Denulia returns the joke easily. Anyone else standing in the room might feel the room almost crackle with the power present here. The High Seers simply sit and have tea. "Please. Tea is always welcome. How are you, Antarius?" Denulia asks as she sits in the chair and takes the cup, having a sip.
"Fair enough. We shall simply enjoy our dessert till your mother arrives, then go for a stroll afterwards."
"That sounds very pleasant." Tyrrin takes Ghalen's hand and looks at him from across the table, simply smiling.
"Surprisingly well, though I doubt I'll ever be free of this paperwork. What of you, Denulia? I trust you are doing well?"
"That's very true." He pushes out through a chuckle. Hew observes her mannerisms have slightly changed. "You seem relaxed today." He smiled to her happy she doesn't seem on edge.
"It's... becoming easier to feel safe here. I just hope I am not becoming complacent. That is when your enemies will find you." Midori responds quietly as she eats, though after a moment of somberness she smiles again. "But I have lots of strong friends here to fight with me, like you, right Hew-kun?"
Dave does so "should I channel some of my fire or anything?"
Johnny says
"if you could manifest to ability that will help a lot"
"That sounds very pleasant." Tyrrin takes Ghalen's hand and looks at him from across the table, simply smiling.
Gives her hand a squeeze and smiles back, staring into her eyes.
"It's... becoming easier to feel safe here. I just hope I am not becoming complacent. That is when your enemies will find you." Midori responds quietly as she eats, though after a moment of somberness she smiles again. "But I have lots of strong friends here to fight with me, like you, right Hew-kun?"
"I don't know how strong I am but I would fight by your side. So would Zilla, sort of... What you wouldn't go into the middle of battle and get all dirty and you know it." Hew laughs slightly. "That's why I said sort of."
"Surprisingly well, though I doubt I'll ever be free of this paperwork. What of you, Denulia? I trust you are doing well?"
Ruby who had just dropped off the Candy order to Ryo, stopped as
High Seer Denulia came in, waiting for the end of the intros and the Small talk to start, he bows ounce more to both hes old friend Ryo and the High Seer."I can see you both have a lot to talk about, Ill take my leave, Highseer, Ryo I bid you good eve"
Ruby exits
Kezzin begins leading the way to the cafeteria, "I guess I will have to wait, then. I do not know who that is."
::she's the captain of the fencing team. Now that i think about it, she's probobly busy."
he voice changes from telapathy to speech as he gains a mouth when he shapes back into human form to walk alongside you. For a short while, a muffled version of both is heard.
Tybalt simply looks very uncomfortable with the goings on.
The sun is mean enough to him when he stays on his planet let alone when he cruises right up to it and looks around.
He stands next to his staff jammed into the dirt.
A few pointed medallions twist around between his teeth as he twists a couple rings around his fingers. He makes a jingling sound as this all happens. You may notice that there is usually no sound present when he moves. Only when he moves the jewelry in and of itself.
If Sadie gives her permission as she and Vai leave, Fei will stay with Dara for a little while to keep him company. If so, he makes a point to keep his movements slow and serene, and to remain seated on the floor as much as possible to be at his eye-level.
If Fei spies any drawings by the youngster in the playroom, he will compliment him on his work and make a few drawings of his own for him - some perhaps as visual aids to help learn some new words, but mostly to (hopefully) entertain. (^-^)
Dara seemed to be acting more like himself around Fei than he had for the last couple of days. He had a whole series of drawings, most of them vaguely disturbing. There seemed to be a high degree of violence depicted in his pictures. Still, he seems eager for any sort of communication. It clearly frustrates him that he can't talk.
"Surprisingly well, though I doubt I'll ever be free of this paperwork. What of you, Denulia? I trust you are doing well?"
"You keep some odd company." Denulia says after Ruby departs.
"You haven't learned to delegate yet? Honestly I will put up the coin for the wage of a scribe, if you are so short." Denulia teases, her demeanor among an equal much different, more relaxed.
"I'm doing well. The borders have been quiet for a long time, and I don't sense any impending threats. I believe I may even relax for a while, once the Firebirds are settled."
"If you say so." Ardiente says despondantly. He had much to apologize for. But he couldn't change that now, he could only try to make things better. "Can I see those plans... uh.. was it Ori?" she didn't look much older than some of the other students.. but then Ardiente remembers her sitting behind the tables in the registration table on his first day. "Er... Professor Ori." he corrects himself.You have nothing to apologize for.
Lang merely accepts his apology wishing to speak no more of it.
"When I'm teaching it's Professor Reading. Otherwise I don't mind if you use my given name. It's not like I'm that much older than the students. I missed the cutoff for enrollment by this much," she joked, holding her fingers a half inch apart. "So I had to sign on as teaching staff." ;P
"Here," she said passing him the blueprints she'd been looking at.
Confusion. Worry? It blinks in response, making a small sound."Easy, honey. You woke up hard there. Neat trick they've done, isn't it?" ;P"Indeed. It's really amazing that all eleven of them have learned to work so well together already. Although you still shouldn't go wandering around without one of us present to keep you safe," she cautioned the astral construct.
"I'm your grandmother. Worrying about you is part of my job. Because I love you."
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.'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.
"I don't want to make things bad between you and your mother," she said nervously. "Maybe....maybe she'll come around, you know....after a.....while," she added, trying to talk herself into a more optimistic state of mind.
"Should I change? Maybe that more casual dress you bought for me? At least I can try to look presentable..."
"I am not so cruel as to drop this all on some poor scribe! The papercuts alone would terrify them."
"Relaxtion is a nice thought, isn't it? It could benefit the whole world to have everyone just relax for a day.."
Sadie continued to circulate among the club members, old and new alike, stopping now and then to correct someone's form or give advice and answer questions.
"well... who's next?"
most everyone backs away. that was one of the more expernced pepole, and adon beat him using his non dominant hand, and doesnt even look tired. adon looks around, then sighs.
"i suppose i should take a break too."
adon sits down, and stays very still, thinking over how he can do better.
"Adon, right? I'm Morrivan. Care to spar with me? You'll probably wipe the floor with me," she said with a cheerful smile, "but if I want to get better I've got to challenge myself right?"
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.
"So, Vare, perhaps you would do me the honor of telling me what lured you to this school? Were you offered an excellent payment or some manner of investment which goes above and beyond what you could have earned on your own as a conjurer?"
She ate well, and when things needed cleaning, one simple cantrip of prestidigitation later, clean hands and clothing. There was a playful grin after doing such as well.
"Hmm? Sure." he stands up, and holds his bade. "Let's see what you can do." he seemed more... Empty, lost. His words and expression were hollow, a sharp contrast to when he fought vai.
"Would you like to take the first strike?"
"Hmm? Sure." he stands up, and holds his bade. "Let's see what you can do." he seemed more... Empty, lost. His words and expression were hollow, a sharp contrast to when he fought vai.
"Would you like to take the first strike?"
"Okay," she said, agreeably. Her stance was abysmal. She moved all wrong for a swordsman. But it made her movements hard to predict. Which was probably the only thing she had going for her.
adon pauses for a moment, and waits for her to strike.
Renkai had the pairs switch partners and wanders over to watch the duel, preparing to intervien if nesicary...
Morrivan circled around Adon looking for an opening and suddenly lunged in for an attack.
Dara seemed to be acting more like himself around Fei than he had for the last couple of days. He had a whole series of drawings, most of them vaguely disturbing. There seemed to be a high degree of violence depicted in his pictures. Still, he seems eager for any sort of communication. It clearly frustrates him that he can't talk.
"It is...unfair that you have already seen so much violence in your life," Fei says quietly to Dara as he looks over his drawings.
"But it is good that you are trying to get these images...out. Perhaps you and I can talk through these," he continues, pointing at one of his works, "and give you more words to use with your gloves as we do..."
The young monk stands and walks over to the art table, gathering all of the drawing supplies to hand and bringing them back over to where he and Dara were sitting. He then does his best to learn what Dara already knows, and teach him what he can in the time he has with him. He creates pictures and pictograms as they go along for the young boy to use.
adon dodges, and the uses his off hand to snatch her weapon effortlessly, mid-strike. when the blade it taken, it twists the arm in a way that you either let go, or wind up with a broken wrist. With muscles so thin, you wouldn't think he could move that fast or so flawlessly. As he jerks at the blade, much more speed and skill is applied then needed, if it weren't for the automatic reflex of letting go ingrained ninth whim an mind, her wrist would have snapped just then.
he hands the blade back.
"Alright... If i can do that without my blade, we should talk a little."
"I don't know how strong I am but I would fight by your side. So would Zilla, sort of... What you wouldn't go into the middle of battle and get all dirty and you know it." Hew laughs slightly. "That's why I said sort of."
Midori giggles at the thought of Zilla-chan doing battle of any kind. Hew-kun at least carried his staff like he knew how to use it. "Ohhh... Zilla-chan you would rip your dress." Midori said with a impish smile, obiviously feeling very cheerful right at that moment. A full belly and a pair of friends to talk to. What else could she ask for? "We still have to find Lang-kun and Grim-kun and find something fun to do today! We made that promise!"
"When I'm teaching it's Professor Reading. Otherwise I don't mind if you use my given name. It's not like I'm that much older than the students. I missed the cutoff for enrollment by this much," she joked, holding her fingers a half inch apart. "So I had to sign on as teaching staff." ;P
"Here," she said passing him the blueprints she'd been looking at.
"I see." Ardiente says, a little confused. Everyone here was always so informal. It was a little disturbing.
Ardiente bent over the plans, searching for the vent that they had been talking about, wondering if he knew this area of the Sun.
"I don't want to make things bad between you and your mother," she said nervously. "Maybe....maybe she'll come around, you know....after a.....while," she added, trying to talk herself into a more optimistic state of mind.
"Should I change? Maybe that more casual dress you bought for me? At least I can try to look presentable..."
'Maybe that is a good idea. But I don't want you to try to be anyone but yourself. You are the girl I love, not some facsimile made to impress my Mother, okay?'
Ehos is very clearly defiant of anythign his Mother might look down on, especially Jaiye. A true rebel without a cause in a situation like this. Hopefully Jaiye doesn't think that he jsut likes her because he knew it would piss his Mom off.
[i]He kisses her lightly on the cheek in an attempt to reassure her.
Tybalt simply looks very uncomfortable with the goings on.
The sun is mean enough to him when he stays on his planet let alone when he cruises right up to it and looks around.
He stands next to his staff jammed into the dirt.
A few pointed medallions twist around between his teeth as he twists a couple rings around his fingers. He makes a jingling sound as this all happens. You may notice that there is usually no sound present when he moves. Only when he moves the jewelry in and of itself.
"Right three hours, time for you to go Cutting others up dave and me and Ty to go shopping"
"I am not so cruel as to drop this all on some poor scribe! The papercuts alone would terrify them."
"Relaxtion is a nice thought, isn't it? It could benefit the whole world to have everyone just relax for a day.."
Denulia laughs easily at the papercut comment, perhaps attempting to put Ryo at his ease with a bit more of a casual air. "Quite right. Perhaps one day when you make your way through the mountains of paperwork you will be able to relax."
"I should go speak with my children, as that was the reason I made the trip to the school. I did not wish to slight you by not seeing you while I was here." She explains, still smiling that smile which Tyrrin always has when she thinks she had been witty. They are truly very similar. Tyrrin must be the spitting image of the High Seer when she was younger.
Midori giggles at the thought of Zilla-chan doing battle of any kind. Hew-kun at least carried his staff like he knew how to use it. "Ohhh... Zilla-chan you would rip your dress." Midori said with a impish smile, obiviously feeling very cheerful right at that moment. A full belly and a pair of friends to talk to. What else could she ask for? "We still have to find Lang-kun and Grim-kun and find something fun to do today! We made that promise!"
"That we do. I bet they would like some snacks. What do you think? Should we get some cookies from line for everyone?" Hew asked Midori thinking she would agree it was a good idea.
Ace visibly relaxes after the High Seer leaves "Wow, she has some presence, not at all like Ryo. Glad I had my courrier training to fall back on."
He takes a seat on a bench, looking just a bit tired "That dizzy spell was really weird, espeically since the last time it happened was with Tyrrin when she invited us. Even stranger, it was something similiar to what I felt when I was helping Vai with Fei."
"So, Vare, perhaps you would do me the honor of telling me what lured you to this school? Were you offered an excellent payment or some manner of investment which goes above and beyond what you could have earned on your own as a conjurer?"
She ate well, and when things needed cleaning, one simple cantrip of prestidigitation later, clean hands and clothing. There was a playful grin after doing such as well.
Vare frowns slightly at the question, leaning forward and stacking the now-used dishes in a manner which will make them easy to transport, but leaning back again, the frown gone, and saying. "Truly... a desire for companionship led me here. Rena and I had heard rumors that the school was a place of acceptance - that all were welcome here. I knew I was too old to be a student... the wage is not enormous by any stretch." he says pleasantly, fingering the golden ring after another failed attempt at stroking the now-absent beard. "Rena also was worried that I was subsisting on conjured food, and that this would not provide proper nourishment. Which is a bit silly of course... but it has been very nice to eat real food."
"Besides... the school is rife with powerful beings. What better place to advance my studies?"
Dave touches the craft and manifests his fire and looks up "sounds like a plan, and it sounds like fun" he smiles.
adon dodges, and the uses his off hand to snatch her weapon effortlessly, mid-strike. when the blade it taken, it twists the arm in a way that you either let go, or wind up with a broken wrist.

1d20+23
he hands the blade back."Alright... If i can do that without my blade, we should talk a little."
Morrivan grimaced. "I can't get the hang of it...the sword doesn't move right...I'm used to fighting with water. I have trouble with ice too...I know I need to learn this, but it definitely doesn't come naturally."
"Water? Hmm. Most pepole assume strength is the way blades should be used..."
Adon, care to play around and show these newbies some intense sparring?" Renkai grins
"Water? Hmm. Most pepole assume strength is the way blades should be used..."
She shrugged. "I'm a waterbender. For me fluidity and strength are the same thing."
"I'm in the middle of something. I'm trying to teach."
his voice is hollow, empty. It has a odd sound to it, almost an echo against his own emptiness.
"right shops" and 0ff they head
"I see. I don't think they teach the use of these here publicly, they are considered torture instruments by some..."
he thinks for a moment.
"Renkai, you have a slew of weapons on you all the time. Do you happen to have a spiked chain on you?"
"I don't want to make things bad between you and your mother," she said nervously. "Maybe....maybe she'll come around, you know....after a.....while," she added, trying to talk herself into a more optimistic state of mind.
"Should I change? Maybe that more casual dress you bought for me? At least I can try to look presentable..."

[i]He kisses her lightly on the cheek in an attempt to reassure her.
She smiles nervously. "I can be myself and still be respectful," she said firmly. "I wouldn't show disrespect to a pack leader and I shouldn't show disrespect to your mother either."
She hurried to get the dress and change into it. She used her claw to make a tail slit. "I'll have to ask Tybs to fix that properly later."
"Okay....all set. Let's get this over with?"
Ace visibly relaxes after the High Seer leaves "Wow, she has some presence, not at all like Ryo. Glad I had my courrier training to fall back on."
He takes a seat on a bench, looking just a bit tired "That dizzy spell was really weird, espeically since the last time it happened was with Tyrrin when she invited us. Even stranger, it was something similiar to what I felt when I was helping Vai with Fei."
"Do you think it's related to Kal? Or is it some new ability manifesting? Raelle had nauseous headaches when she was coming down with new powers. Maybe you get dizzy spells?"
you see Vai what exactly to de mean "my thing" I don't remember doing anything Melosy honestly looks confused she has no memory of anything.
