Sheessuroussen tries to ignore the creaking of bone from the stairwell... But is quite curious...
He drinks the tea (watered down) in a gulp and sets the cup on it's tray.... Looking at the shimmering gem studded walls
"Aw I was looking forward to wearing it. I am so going to hit Hew if he made me small as a joke. I'll have to get Hew to try again sometime. See if he can make be bigger and less stiff. Ugh I can't even cast like this." See tries moving her hands with seem rather strenuous venture.
"Alright, come with me. It's not the yukata I made for you, but I still have my doll collection from when I was younger, and I made an extensive wardrobe of clothes for them. I'm sure there's something there that will fit you....you can take your pick of several outfits. They're just sitting around in drawers now."
"And if you're going to stay like this, I can just make a smaller yukata for you....actually I wanted to talk to you both. I don't think I can do the tea party tomorrow after all because I'm going to the sun with Lang to look for a lost temple or something. Can we do it the day after tomorrow instead?"
"Really you have lots of cloths that I can try on! Maybe isn't a bad thing being this small then." She jumps out of Midori's collar. And flies over to Ignance. Still holding the cloth around her she give Ignance a hug.

Ignace smiles. "More outfits than you could possibly ever need," she agreed. "Would you like to come too, Midori? I have them all stored in my room."
Hew follows grim in to the Library. "I'm not really sure wether count Zilla's body a success or not? what do you think Grim?"
"Yeah Midori you should come along." She waves her along. The others would have expected her to have done a little twirl if she wasn't trying to keep herself covered with the cloth.
"I believe the term for this is "work in progress""
"That it is. I really hope she doesn't think I made her that way on purpose." He looks over to Lang. "Find anything good? Hey Sun."
"That it is. I really hope she doesn't think I made her that way on purpose." He looks over to Lang. "Find anything good? Hey Sun."
Actually I did, there is this secret map that shows this blank spot and it is this spot that i believe is the lost or hidden, secret temple that I am looking for
Lang shows Hew the Map also.
Oh and I also think that Professor Salis and Professor Ori are in love or something, which is good for her nature spirit she is bound to.
"Wow that's great. Yah it does look that way by the random blank spot here."
Hew looks slightly taken back by this. "Really? What makes ou think that?"
"Wow that's great. Yah it does look that way by the random blank spot here."
Hew looks slightly taken back by this. "Really? What makes ou think that?"
lets just call it Avatar intuition
sun chimes in and Lang saw them kissing right over there he says a little hushed, indicating the bookshelf they are behind.
Grim peaks his head over where Lang pointed earlier as discreetly as he knows how "lets just say the spirits confer with the avatar" he says in his most regal voice.
Hew smirks hearing Suns comment. When Sun pointed Hew curiosity took over and he tip toed over to the shelf to peek around. As he saw them he let out a snicker. "Yah I think your right, Lang. K. I. S. S. I. N. G." He quietly chimes.

Lang whispers when Hew gets back they make a nice couple, kinda like Hew and Midori... Lang tries to hold back a teasing laugh
"Awe sun your ruining my fun" grim pouts
"Awe sun your ruining my fun" grim pouts
sorry Grim but that is one of my assigned tasks....
The chanting was finally enough to get through to Ori's distracted mind. She pulled away from Salis just a little.
"I think we've acquired a bit of an audience," she said blushing as she nodded towards the shelf that separated them from the group of boys.

Oh no, please, continue, we can think of this as extra credit

Hew turns beat red at langs comment. "B-b-but we're just friends." Slowly he starts putting his figure together, trying to draw attention away from his embarrassment.
Making their way over to the soda fountain, Ace has his arm around Ginni "Babe, you were amazing! Where did you learn how to dance like that?"
...bam! gone...
Vare thinks a moment, looking especially thoughtful as Anahita speaks on what effects his magicks would have on reality itself. If her finger is looking to measure the strength of his arm... it is surprising, given his seemingly scholarly apperance. Perhaps not a match for her own mightiness, within normal human boundries of such things. "I.. had not considered that were even a possibility. I recognize the danger of, say, Wishcraft... yet. Perhaps that warrants further study."
He smiles and nods to the questions about how the spell feels, seeming eager as always to talk - at least to her. "It is magnificent... being able to shift forms like that is incredibly useful, and.. well. I suppose there is a certain rush at the feeling of the power that the different forms command... I can maintain such a spell for... perhaps a little over three hours or so? And afterwards, our own bodies seem to frail and weak in comparison." he shrugs at that, not despondent or downbeat at that, merely making his observations.
"If I outsmart you in that regard, then it is only because I have had the chance to study it more... whereas you could, I have no doubt, easily best me if we were to talk about natural things. We simply have different experiences there, though nothing to be competitive over I hope? I would prefer if we learned from each other."
"For example, I have no idea what connection the praying mantis has to our discussion here?" he asked inquisitively, noting that her demeanor had become more playful.
"Miss Anahita, would you like for me to tidy up here, and perhaps we can... walk, as we did this morning?"
Hew turns beat red at lang's comment. "B-b-but we're just friends." Slowly he starts putting his figure together, trying to draw attention away from his embarrassment.

Hew? I was only joking. I was referring to how connected you and Midori are, through Zilla
The chanting was finally enough to get through to Ori's distracted mind. She pulled away from Salis just a little.
"I think we've acquired a bit of an audience," she said blushing as she nodded towards the shelf that separated them from the group of boys.
Oh no, please, continue, we can think of this as extra credit
Hew looks over to Lang as if to say, What!? "We apologize Miss Reading. We didn't mean to intrude." He bows like Midori would.
"Yeah Midori you should come along." She waves her along. The others would have expected her to have done a little twirl if she wasn't trying to keep herself covered with the cloth.
"Hai! I hope Grim-kun doesn't think I was ignoring him... what he did was sugoi... I was just worried about you Zilla-chan. I'll apologize later, that should be good, ne?"
Salis snicker slightly. "Boys will be boys I guess." Salis sighs as he releases her waist. "Well is there something you boys need we would be happy to assist you."
while the other analyze his blood, away from thier attention, adon stirs.and blinks his eyes open. He slowly sits up, and asks-
"Hay, what'd i miss? And why am i so hungry?"
Making their way over to the soda fountain, Ace has his arm around Ginni "Babe, you were amazing! Where did you learn how to dance like that?"
"Well, I learned some during my time with the circus...but then there was also some time spent with a troupe of acrobats doing street performances....oh, and an eccentric old lady who thought that she could make the lives of orphans brighter by teaching us ballroom dancing.....and I like to dance during PE class....I'm glad you think I danced well. It was hard to keep up with all those strange new styles."
"Strawberry soda, please," she said, placing her order at the counter. "I've always wanted to try one."
Lang speaks up
actually Master Reading? I believe that if you do have romantic feelings toward master Salis. it will strengthen the bond to Kryshyykilii'vkk. You see his anger and rage are being fed through you.
but when you replace that anger with love you can now feed him that love in place of anger. and together you can both find peace.
Lang looks at them both I really hoped that made sense?
Ryleh takes the stack of papers from him, hands them to Fieri and surprises him with a fierce hug. She may look petite, dainty even, but she is incredibly strong.
"I cannot begin to tell you how much this means to me. To lose a child the way I lost Chan'trikalliax is not something I would wish on my worst enemy. That any good came out of his evil is...a sort of miracle."
She stepped back, once more in control of her emotions. "Call me Grandma. It gets too formal and rather silly sounding to be honest if we take the time to work out exact familial relations. Now, what was it you needed my help with?"
Ardiente is taken aback at first... but when Ryleh explains why she's so passionate in her hug... he returns it just as fiercely... he still had family here. "Grandma..." he says, slumping a little. "I..." his words faltered him and it was his turn to step towards his great-grandmother, before answer her question of what they needed, and hugged the petite woman back just as fiercely.
After several moments, he releases her, blinking away his manly tears. It had been a long few days. He takes a moment to collect himself before speaking. "Grandma.. this stack of papers is all the Firebirds who have ever been struck from the records. We need to know, ideally, who among them are still alive and where we can find them."
adon tries to stand, and staggers, and falls back down to where he was.
"Ok... not alright. What is wrong... I can't think..."
on of the nurses takes notice, and informs ananda that he is somehow awake.
Vai goes in search of James... partially expecting him to be at the factory, despite the hour slowly getting late. She places a hand on the wall to check the arrows... if not, she'll go looking for Aunt Pyra and Uncle Sorchan.
Ace gives a slightly apologetic smile, and orders a root beer float. "Yea, sorry. I was a courier for a few years and attended several balls, dances, etcetera. Learned all sorts of stuff." He grins big then "Ya know, the more I find out about you, the more incredible you get"
"We could fly, if you want... better than any vista." With a flap of her wings, just to demonstrate, though it is quite obvious that she is flying. "though I do not have a saddle. This countryside isn't very dangerous, so we will be alright just the two of us if you'd like to walk." Rena says casually. "There's a lake down there... but I imagine it isn't terribly warm?" The last part was definitely a question.
"I don't really enjoy wet feathers though." she adds, as an afterthought.
"Alright... so we have a challenge. You can fly, I cannot. I'm not too keen on being carried either, that's happened too many times as far as I can remember." This earns him a chuckle.
Glancing about, he says, "Well, town's potentially out, right? Or do you enjoy watching people doing their own thing? I mean ...let's cut to the chase here, how do you kill time? I'm not a board gamer, or a card gamer, I like walking around and visiting places. Uh..." He considers her form, "You're not exactly, humanoid, which isn't a bad thing mind you, yet ... hell, doubt they have entertainment like I remember."
Scratching his head, he looks off again and then back adding, "Tell me about where you grew up and what you have done? Might trigger a thought. I'm pretty creative, usually."
Vare thinks a moment, looking especially thoughtful as Anahita speaks on what effects his magicks would have on reality itself. If her finger is looking to measure the strength of his arm... it is surprising, given his seemingly scholarly apperance. Perhaps not a match for her own mightiness, within normal human boundries of such things. "I.. had not considered that were even a possibility. I recognize the danger of, say, Wishcraft... yet.

"For example, I have no idea what connection the praying mantis has to our discussion here?" he asked inquisitively, noting that her demeanor had become more playful.
"Miss Anahita, would you like for me to tidy up here, and perhaps we can... walk, as we did this morning?"
"If you would like to ..clean up, certainly. As for the praying mantis, it only ..occasionally.. occurs, that if the female is too hungry, still, she will eat her male partner after mating. Rest assured, it was a joke." Ha. Yes, she doesn't do jokes well.
Smiling up at Vare though after the joke, it's a grin on her face as she heard what he said about the spell.
"I believe that the magics I've used, and what I've learned lately, are ...splendid, and magnificent, and I'd be happy to compare ...well, I have no notes, but, experiences, yes. In some regards, yes, in others, not so much."
She then starts to help 'clean up'. Rising and walking around to orderly pick up whatever while, or if, Vare assists.
"I often dwell on whether or not to use magic in any given situation, but thankfully, I do not dwell on it too long. So you enjoy shape shifting? That's good. What else, Vare?" And she leaves it at that.
the wearer drinks from the bottle he brought not making any dangerous movements
"I understand, and yes. Much better." Tyrrin says with a wry smile, masking how much that had actually shaken her. "For the record, I would do the same for you... even if I am hesitant about... love."
"I don't doubt that."
Rena tilts her head in curiosity at Tryko'Sam's reaction to being 'carried', but as he chuckled afterwards, she doesn't dwell on it, merely nodding and slowly coiling and uncoiling herself starting from back-to-front. More of a nervous habit than a movement with purpose.
"I would say that we could go into town... but people do not like the way I look. They become afraid of me and run. If you want to go there, it is best to go without me." she says... and Tryko'Sam could've sworn she sounded just a little forlorn, though her body language - as has been stated - is difficult or impossible for him to read.
"I did not... 'grow up' in the traditional sense, where one has parents and a family... at least not that I remember. I was a good deal smaller though, back then, so perhaps there is some merit to it. My frist memory is of that friend I spoke of.. his name is Vare. I remember being in a river, then poking my head out and he was there, and that's all." her voice lilts affectionately during the telling of this story, and Tryko'Sam can probably hear the affection in her voice when she speaks of Vare.
"As far as what I've done... Vare and I have been together ever since, we wander and we have adventures. We travel to different planes of existence for scraps of knowledge, and battle all manner of horrible creatures. It is honestly quite exciting, if taxing at times."
She looks back at him. "Did that help at all?"
If you would like to ..clean up, certainly. As for the praying mantis, it only ..occasionally.. occurs, that if the female is too hungry, still, she will eat her male partner after mating. Rest assured, it was a joke." Ha. Yes, she doesn't do jokes well.

Vare does in fact look a touch worried when she speaks as she does but then assurance that it was a joke causes him to smile... and then *snrk* in a suppressed laugh kind of way. "Notes may not be helpful to me anyway, I would prefer to hear it from you directly. It would be a good excuse to have more time with you." He says sincerly, and then stands with her to tidy and stack whatever dishes there were. Vare then conjures an invisible automation to take away their refuse, with a quick note on top thanking the kitchens for their consideration.
"I do not like wasting my powerful spells for trivialities, I agree... but magic can help to make life easier as well." he says a little sheepishly, after using the magical servant out of laziness.
"Hm.. what else do I enjoy you mean?" he asks, though he's mostly thinking aloud at this point. "Truth be told, my life thus far has been fairly focused. Spending time with Rena, persuing my studies, and going on whatever adventures my search for knowledge dictated. Perhaps this Bradley of yours is an Oracle, dictating that fun must be spread across the land. Tell me about him, and his abilities, and let us walk." With that, he does so, beginning to walk an easy pace around the gardens, perhaps making their way towards the lake.
"I don't doubt that."
"Can we discuss something else? I did not wish for this evening to take such an unpleasant turn." Tyrrin says, a little concerned that she had utterly ruined the mood. She stops their stroll with a light pressure on Ghalen's hand. "You could, for example, tell me why you chose me among all the exotic girls at this school who would no doubt be at the mercy of your charms."
He smiles
"You...were not what I expected. I watched you interact with others, and act with a drive I did not think you had. You challenged my perception of you, and intrigued me. Then I started to notice other things, like how your hair flows when you walk, how your eyes catch the light, how your rare smiles light up a room, how your confidence enhances your natural beauty...
How could I defend against such things? Why would I choose anyone else? Who else is even in the same league?"
Kiara heads to the gardens, glancing around nervously as she begins to head to a secluded area.
Reed kneels and presses his forehead to the dirt as he begins to pray to the Earth. "Dearest Allmother, hear my prayer that one day I may join you as a living embodiment of your power."
Kiara heads to the gardens, glancing around nervously as she begins to head to a secluded area.
Melody, a new student, is sitting on a bench in the garden by herself playing a guitar and singing.
He smiles
"You...were not what I expected. I watched you interact with others, and act with a drive I did not think you had. You challenged my perception of you, and intrigued me. Then I started to notice other things, like how your hair flows when you walk, how your eyes catch the light, how your rare smiles light up a room, how your confidence enhances your natural beauty...
How could I defend against such things? Why would I choose anyone else? Who else is even in the same league?"
Coming from anyone else, words like that would've been... meaningless platitudes. But Tyrrin's heat skipped a beat there. She smiles wryly, clearly about to make a joke... but then stops.
Her smile is genuine this time, not sarcastic in the slightest. "I have grown since I have come here, haven't I? I am glad someone other than my Mother noticed. I must confess, I had forgotten about you virtually completely since our first encounter, with Professor Relkav. I... admit you took me somewhat by surprise, though it is not unwelcome now, in the slightest. You are... unique, Ghalen. You challenge me, even as we talk." That was about all the feelings talk Tyrrin could manage, so to distract him, she puts her hand on the back of his head and pulls him down to kiss her again.
He doesn't fight it.
He smiles
"Challenging? I've been called 'frustrating as Hell' before, but not challenging. Perhaps I've changed too." he smirks
Johnny and Aylya get drinks then hit the dance floor,
Rena tilts her head in curiosity at Tryko'Sam's reaction to being 'carried', but as he chuckled afterwards, she doesn't dwell on it, merely nodding and slowly coiling and uncoiling herself starting from back-to-front. More of a nervous habit than a movement with purpose.

"As far as what I've done... Vare and I have been together ever since, we wander and we have adventures. We travel to different planes of existence for scraps of knowledge, and battle all manner of horrible creatures. It is honestly quite exciting, if taxing at times."
She looks back at him. "Did that help at all?"
With a nod and such, rubbing his chin in thought with arms wrapped around his chest, Tryko'Sam says, "So-- you're into the violence thing too, okay. Seems like that's the way people pass time around here, beating s!*$ up. Lovely. Guess I'll need to learn to fight or something..." Tryko'Sam grins though.
"Hey, if you wanted to visit town, I'd champion you. You seem intelligent and friendly, it'd be a shame to see folks talking s@$* about someone out of ignorance. Is it acceptable, I mean, you're not an endangered species or something, right? Do you eat humans or whatever? Just making sure we're not looking at a pitch fork and torch situation here." Clearly though, if Rena's at all clear on human expressions, he's grinning at the notion as if it might warrant 'fun'.
"So who's this Vare guy?" He motions as if, 'let's go', while starting to walk off.
Vare does in fact look a touch worried when she speaks as she does but then assurance that it was a joke causes him to smile... and then *snrk* in a suppressed laugh kind of way. "Notes may not be helpful to me anyway, I would prefer to hear it from you directly. It would be a good excuse to have more time with you."

"Well," with a pause and study of Vare's features once they were done with the cleaning up and invisible servant sent off with the remains, "I believe you and I are very similar in manner, save, I am lacking in social 'civilized'" she quotes the word with her fingers, "manners-- though I feel I can manage somewhat. I'm not a complete savage." That part is said playfully, she does have an potent amount of natural charisma it would appear.
"I am completely open to going for a walk. If you'd like, perhaps we could walk out into the forest or what not, away from the school-- unless you prefer to stay on the grounds? I'll have to introduce you to Bradley at one point, he was the one I sought out that psionic for, remember? I'm still curious if his abilities are detectable by some method or another."
She then waits for Vare to decide on the course of action, standing there smiling at him.
