Melody smiles and goes back in the fencing club room she returns the practice sword and removes the ill fitting padding. she takes a seat to watch the others duel.
her eyes catching Kai enjoying the fighting. then some of the other students. some of the movemnts reminding her of a dance.
did that boy wink at me? naw I doubt it
adon catches his blade in one of the links of the chain, twists his blade, and the chain comes right out of her hands, clattering several feet away.
Ehos was extremely red, but he couldn't keep the silly grin from his face. His Mother actually approved. He had not seen that coming. He kisses Jaiye on the cheek, and holds the datapad for her to see. 'Well.. that was unexpected.'
"You're telling me. The last thing I expected was for her to approve," she said, looking relieved. And then her stomach growled. "I think it's time to finally get to that picnic." :)
"Sounds good to me" He says. Walking hand in hand, the young couple enters the restaurant Ginni picked out, and in short order were seated near a window. Their table had a bright purple tablecloth and pair of lanterns, one red and orange that looked like a flame and another that was a more simple bright green one.
Their waiter comes over and hands them a pair of menus. "Can I start you off with a drink, or an appetizer?"
After asking the waiter for some advice on what was good they were served some fruity sort of drink called sangria and plates full of tiny servings of various different foods before an enormous dish of paella was brought out for the main course.
"This is the first time I've ever eaten in a restaurant," Ginni admitted nervously after they ordered their food.
1d20+19
1d20+28
1d20+30
adon catches his blade in one of the links of the chain, twists his blade, and the chain comes right out of her hands, clattering several feet away.
Morrivan goes to retrieve the chain. "Apparently better is a relative term," she said with a shrug.
"if i wasn't on the defensive, you would have hit me, most certianly. if i was actually attacking you, there is no way i would have seen that coming."
>>though, if i was attacking her, i'd get 3 hits for every one she got on me...<<
"You don't have to keep eating, Kitty, I knoe I can't cook."
"Well... my study of the Arcane is reaching a point where I believe I am going to have to begin crafting my own spells. There are simply no more commonly known spells for me to learn. And if I fear if I stop pressing forward I will only fall backwards." Vare says pleasantly. He's obviously not bragging, merely stating facts.
"I certainly seem to have found what I was searching for here. People who are willing to accept me... virtually without question. Like yourself, Miss Anahita. It... means a great deal to me that you are able to look past my queerness."
"I do not see what you express as odd. Especially if your abilities are natural or beyond your control."
With a smile there she tasted the sweet dessert but frowned a bit at its taste.
"So, researching new spells? Perhaps you should visit the library? It has quite the collection of books. Seems magical on its own."
"You're telling me. The last thing I expected was for her to approve," she said, looking relieved. And then her stomach growled. "I think it's time to finally get to that picnic." :)
'Definitely. I.. I was worried there for a second that you guys were going to fight... like actually.' Ehos smiles silently, and takes Jaiye's hand, kissing it lightly and leading the way back to the room... and out of PG-13 territory.
"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.
As eager as Dara is to learn at the beginning, he is only seven with a young child's short attention span. Eventually he seems more interested in playing with blocks than with trying to communicate. When Fei decides to leave, Dara gives him a big hug, an unusual display of affection from a child who usually only allows his sister to get near him, and then runs back to the toys to continue playing.

>>though, if i was attacking her, i'd get 3 hits for every one she got on me...<<
"Well, I guess that's not too bad for my first try....I'll get better with practice," she said, more cheerful after this little bit of encouragement.
"You don't have to keep eating, Kitty, I knoe I can't cook."
"It's not about the flavor....it's that you made it for me," she said, trying not to spit out a bite of horrifically salty pork.
Lang looks to midori Apologeticlly I'll go tell her.
Lang smiles and gives a quick glance toward grim
Besides Midori, I can't die... Grim said I'm not allowed to die and he knows all about that stuff he whispers to her.
Hew steps up behind Midori. "You should tell her sooner than later Lang. How will she react if Ignaces father tells her and not you?"
He can't help it, the look on her face caused him to burst out laughing.
"It's not that you like it, it's that you tried it!"

Fei has the good sense not to push things. 'Childhood is for being a child...we all grow in our own time', as his old master used to say. The young monk missed him more in that moment than he had since his arrival at Avalon. His face looks...a bit more sad than serene as he puts up the drawing supplies so Dara can play.
Almost as if in response to his moment of melancholy, Dara gives him a big hug that knocks him out of his reverie. He looks down and smiles, putting an arm around him and giving a gentle squeeze back before he dives back into his blocks.
"I will see if I can come visit you again, Dara, if you would like that. You are...very good company," he says with a bow as he gets to the door. "I hope you have a fun evening." (^-^)
With that, Fei takes his leave and makes his way back to the Fencing Club room. He quietly enters and moves to the side to be out of the way and not disturb the participants.
Johnny leads the way to a street of clothing shops,
"no lets see what fun designs they have"
he smiles and turns back to renkai.
"So, you want to put on a show? Fine. Morrovian, I've been waiting for this for a while... Do you mind if we spar later?"
He can't help it, the look on her face caused him to burst out laughing.
"It's not that you like it, it's that you tried it!"
"It's really bad, sweetheart....I don't think Saffire would even eat it...I'm sorry," she said finally giving up on the pork. She couldn't help but laugh too.
Johnny leads the way to a street of clothing shops,
"no lets see what fun designs they have"
"Theres where I get all my fabric and that hat shop looks cool. There's the pawn shop where I got the amulets so we cou . . . "
He falls silent before finishing the statement.
Well Dave wants to face me, and you want to face me....so we can either flip a coin, or I can face you both at the same time" Renkai says nonchalantly
...
"Oh, I forgot he was even here. I'll let him spar you."
"I am fine with waiting if you wish or we can try to double team you I'm fine either way"
Renkai pulls out two thin angled blades, and cracks his neck... "whose first? "
Ace reaches across the table and squeezes Ginni's hand "There's nothing to be nervous about love. Its just like the cafeteria, expect quiet and less crazy" He says with a warm smile.
Hew steps up behind Midori. "You should tell her sooner than later Lang. How will she react if Ignaces father tells her and not you?"Lang looks to midori Apologeticlly I'll go tell her.
Lang smiles and gives a quick glance toward grim

Lang looks at both of them alright, no need to gang up on me. I'll go now
Lang leaves to find Ephebe, apparently not to happy with the situation.
i'm not a baby he mumbles to himself as he leaves
Lang goes to the wall to locate Ephebe and heads there.
melody just sits and watches Kai duel seeing Dave want to challenge him.
this is looking interesting have to see how this turns out.
out of the corner of Meoldy's eye that same boy is getting a drink of water. is looking at me again? Melody tries not to acknowledge his looks focusing on Kai instead.

He falls silent before finishing the statement.
"Nice Ty real Nice, guilt me why don't you, look lets go in here and have a look at the wedding out fits"
Johnny points at a shop of wedding cloths but dos not go in, instead going into a shop full of nice cool outfits from off world
Dave goes over and grabs one of the practice swords, looking for one one resembling the heft of a bastard sword, he frowns and casts a quick spell and he walks over and says "I'm game whenever you are, or I can wait for adon to go first either way"
At the Fencing Club (or other proper name), Tryko'Sam comes walking in, he's got some new clothing on, stuff that seems more his tastes, i.e. dark outfit, loose, belt.
Looking around the big room with all the people, he heads on over to where some of the 'organizers' would be and waves a hello.
"Hey there." He looks around again, hands on his hips, "I heard there was some kind of try outs or ..event? What's going on? You guys doing a social thing here-- or.. oh." He looks over at actual fighting and makes a slight face.
Then he waits for a response.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Melody glances over as Tryko'Sam enters.
she just sighs just great, sharks on each side
"I just didnt- I wasn't trying t- *sigh* never mind." He says sad-ish-ly as he follows into the store.
This is just not a good day. . . .
"It's really bad, sweetheart....I don't think Saffire would even eat it...I'm sorry," she said finally giving up on the pork. She couldn't help but laugh too.He can't help it, the look on her face caused him to burst out laughing.
"It's not that you like it, it's that you tried it!"
"Let's go get some real dinner then."

Then he waits for a response.
A pretty dark-skinned girl with a business-like manner appeared to be the one in charge. She looked him over.
"You're new here?" she asked, a slight lilting accent in her voice. "I'm Sadie Jhiwoon. I'm the captain of the fencing club...and this is the first meeting of the school year. You're welcome to try things out, but I'd appreciate it if you do decide to join if you would be on time for meetings in the future. It's not fair to those who do take practices seriously to have people coming and going as they please. Have you ever done any fencing before?"
"Let's go get some real dinner then.""It's really bad, sweetheart....I don't think Saffire would even eat it...I'm sorry," she said finally giving up on the pork. She couldn't help but laugh too.He can't help it, the look on her face caused him to burst out laughing.
"It's not that you like it, it's that you tried it!"
"Sounds like a plan. Sorry this one didn't work out.....did you use the whole pot of miso to make the soup?" she asked, making a face as she remembered how awfully salty it had been.
Melody breathes a sigh of relief.
Sadie will keep him distracted so I don't have to deal with him right now
Melody glance over the other side making sure the other "shark" isnt circiling in to take a bite.
Ace reaches across the table and squeezes Ginni's hand "There's nothing to be nervous about love. Its just like the cafeteria, expect quiet and less crazy" He says with a warm smile.
"Well.....there do seem to be a lot less dramatic scenes here," she said, looking around as people quietly enjoyed their meals. "And new experiences are good...but it still seems strange to me. Not bad strange. Just strange."
"I did my best to follow the recipe, but I was rushing to get done in time..."
Lang looks at both of them alright, no need to gang up on me. I'll go now
Lang leaves to find Ephebe, apparently not to happy with the situation.
i'm not a baby he mumbles to himself as he leaves
Lang goes to the wall to locate Ephebe and heads there.
Ephebe is in her office working on the never-ending paperwork.

Lang knocks of Master Blackscales door. then pokes his head in Hello? can I come in?
"I did my best to follow the recipe, but I was rushing to get done in time..."
She laughed. "And it just sort of plopped in? That happened to Nanami-chan the first time she tried to cook....she's since been banned from entering the kitchen."

"Oh, hello, Lang. Yes, of course. I'm just determining that the class needs to spend more time learning spelling and grammar," she said looking up from the stack of papers she was grading. "What can I do for you?"
Johnny looks around the shop,
"Ty this is freaky but this off world clothing just looks like knock offs of the cloths some of the kids have at school"
Johnny holds up an outfit that looks suspiciously like johnny s own on the day s/he arrived but less well made and with some small local design elements.
"Freaky"
"I got banned for tampering with the stoves." He admits sheepishly.
He pulls shirt off the rack that reads 'cold cat'
"Oh my gods. . . . They could at least try. . . ."
Johnny walks over to the girl at the counter,
"Look is the errr designer of the clothing here? we would like a word"
the girl looks at Johnny then says
"He will be in tomorrow hes gone home for the night"
Johnny not knowing if shes telling the truth just says
"right"
"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?" He offers.
"This is really just blatant knock off though. . . ."
"I got banned for tampering with the stoves." He admits sheepishly.
Kitty dissolves into a fit of giggles. "Oh, that is so what I would expect from you."
"Thank you for braving the wrath of the kitchen staff to do soemthing nice for me."
"Oh, hello, Lang. Yes, of course. I'm just determining that the class needs to spend more time learning spelling and grammar," she said looking up from the stack of papers she was grading. "What can I do for you?"

Sorry to bother you, He starts then bows But after hearing about the Sun and based on some reading I was doing. I am going to accompany Mr Del sol to the sun to locate a temple that may have been seald and may contain information about my past
he bows again I'm sorry I didn't say so before, I also think Ignace and grim are coming as well

She smiled warmly. "Thank you for informing me. Since this trip is being overseen by Professor del Sol there is no problem with it. It's important that any field trips whatever their reason be properly supervised so that our students stay safe. And making sure that I know about it saves me a lot of time and worry trying to sort things out later."
