the blood drips on her, and she doesn't really react.
"Nope, nothing. Doesn't hurt at all. And the body isn't really "dead". The mind is, i keep the body alive."
"You brought breakfast," she said, smiling. "How thoughtful."She stood up and walked over and kissed him briefly on the cheek. And then stepped away abruptly, her heart pounding for all the wrong reasons.
He looks simultaneously suprised and very happy at her forwardness...but also with a wee bit of concern.
"Well, I obviously need to do this more often..." He says with a smile."I didn't know if you'd want to eat these here or out in the garden..."
"Here works," she said, focused on her breathing until the panic subsided.
"I'm trying to get used to physical contact a little bit at a time. This is supposed to get easier eventually right? I hate this! I hate that the things my mother did to me are still affecting me like this," she said, brushing away tears.

"Good, then it looks like normal healing spells should work on you."
Jabbey just rests akwardly next to the chair his young rider sits in, not really having much to input or say. He continues to hum the alphabet song which is thoroughly stuck in his head.
♪abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz♪
"Sounds like a plan" he holds them upside down "ok we go there? No um there yes there" as he speaks he grows a longish thin tail green partially see through wings go out of his back and his eyes glow green
"Alright then. So, now, what do i do here?"
she looks at krays a little odd, wondering what his concern is.
Lang look a little embarrased I'm sorry, just a little nervousHe tries to smile at her, in an attempt to hide his fears. as he lets go.
I never seen her with her wings before. I would love to fly with her sometime. just around the schools grounds that would be Awesome
when the signal is given and the vent is in sight Lang takes another breath and takes a leap of faith trusing his bending more so now than ever before.
Grim You can carry the maps. we may need them to find another way out if something should happen
The thinner air requires more concentration than usual it takes just about everything he has to control the air currents around him and to bear the extra weight of the waterskins he is carrying.
Ignace changes into her bird form, her feathers as golden as her hair usually is. Her feathers seems to be dripping sparks and flames as she moves. She takes off uncertainly. She didn't have much practice at flying.
As she hit the air currents it seemed like everything fell into place and she was able to fly confidently.
"Here works," she said, focused on her breathing until the panic subsided.
"I'm trying to get used to physical contact a little bit at a time. This is supposed to get easier eventually right? I hate this! I hate that the things my mother did to me are still affecting me like this," she said, brushing away tears.
Sets their breakfast down on the table.
"Oh no no no don't cry Nala. There is definate progess! You're beating her a little more every day. It will get easier, it already has! You wouldn't have done that a few weeks ago, right? Please don't beat yourself up over this. I'm not going anywhere." he says as he hands her a tissue.
It just so happens that the store that caught on fire was a small alchemist shop that helped supply the new factories. Which meant that there were some chemicals in there that fueled and fed the blaze, making it much harder to put out.
At first glance it would appear to Fei to just be a terrible stroke of luck that such an establishment was engulfed in flames. However he then spots a shadowy man running furtively away from the building.
Rapidly piecing together that an arsonist could be at work, Fei nonetheless knows he has to do something about this blaze before he can pursue the retreating figure. He had no magic to extinguish the fire, but perhaps something else would work...
The young monk quickly focuses himself, steps into the burning building...and begins to absorb the fire around him, taking it into his body and quenching the inferno as he moves through the shop.
"Sounds like a plan" he holds them upside down "ok we go there? No um there yes there" as he speaks he grows a longish thin tail green partially see through wings go out of his back and his eyes glow green
"Go as soon as you're ready. I'll be right behind you in case you need any assistance with the flight."
"Alright then. So, now, what do i do here?"
she looks at krays a little odd, wondering what his concern is.
"Classes don't resume again until Monday, which is the day after tomorrow. Until then you're free to explore the school, get familiar with the building and grounds, meet some of your fellow students, and play."

Lang looks at Igance change her form, now that is Awesome, Sorry Grim.
Lang immediately starts his decent toward the vent from the map, trying to indicate to follow him. he has studied that map for so long, one would think he had memorized it. or something else is guideing him. doubtful Lang even knows.
"Yep, these are roller skates. They help you get places faster. I think it's fun being able to go so fast. Would you like to try?""Is that what those are?" She says which pretty much answers the question. She crouches down and looks at the wheel shoes.
"Are these for getting things done faster?"Sun looks to both Chara and Sara.
I do! I am the best roller wheel walker skater thing in the whole sky Temple. He says with pride.
besides it isn't flying or climbing and everything remains firmly on the ground right?
"Yay! Let's go to the playroom and get you some roller skates! You're gonna love it!" she said, enthusiastically.
Repp patiently waits outside Miss Jones' room.
"Here works," she said, focused on her breathing until the panic subsided.

She took the tissue and wiped her eyes.
"I'm sorry. Sometimes I get impatient. I want to be able to be like a normal couple."
"Sun can go first. I can try after." She says happily.
"Oh, ok then. Lets go, jabby!"
Grim puts the maps away in there case and straps them to his waist and decides to follow his friends the extra weight messes him up a little as his wings hits the bag a few times, but he does fine and he flys down after his friends.
"Yay!" He stands up moves next to her to let her on. Once she is in her proper place he turns to Ephebe and Krays. "Thank you."
And with that he goes out the door. "Where to? Or should I just walk?"
"Go wherever you feel like jabby, i don't have anywhere in mind."
"Okey dokie." He simply strolls through the halls looking at what there is and seeing the people walking as well.
Once the children are all in the air, Pyra shifts into her bird form, her feathers in the darker orange range with bright red accents to them. She follows behind as Lang leads the way to the air vent entrance, making sure she's there to catch anyone who has difficulty with the flight. Once Pyra is clear the shuttle pulls away heading for the landing pad
Grim turns his head and sees ignance's mom also in Bird form "so can you guys talk like in bird form, or do you like speak bird,I don't know much abou you guys, and I don't speak bird, I think my sister can speak bird, she knows a lot of stuff"

lang tries not to think about being scared or about certain other things that may embarrass him.
She took the tissue and wiped her eyes.
"I'm sorry. Sometimes I get impatient. I want to be able to be like a normal couple."
"I know, Honey. Me too. We'll get there."
Oh, poor Kuros, just not it's day today.
...meanwhile, in yet another area, unrelated to the warehouse which Fei is standing about, another column of smoke rises up from the buildings.
This one is not near the others, nor near the demon fight underway, but towards the shops and such, specifically in the non-industrial section.
It would seem, Kuros is slated for some foul news today as both ill intent, stupidity and luck comes crashing down atop it in various ways.
For those that are in range to see this, the blaze catches quickly on the shop, filled with it's linens and the like, lacking any sort of proper protection, while other people running around screaming "FIRE FIRE!" do what hapless citizens would normally do, panic.
The fire seems to be your average blaze of unrestrained fury, though nothing other than the swiftness of it's growth (most likely due to the building and tailoring materials within) and the heat, suggest it is anything but normal. Then again, in the minds of anyone not an expert in the study of flames, it's a freaking bonfire, building sized.
Fwooosh... smoke billows up, as the angry flames eat hungrily at the wood and parts, lapping madly this way and that, fending off anyone bold enough to get close and driving off those of weak wills.
"A green gem? You are positive? Damn... The first book was guarded by a dweomercat with a green gem in it's chest. It was far more dangerous than it should have been."
Kitty couldn't help but smile at Midori's enthusiasm and headed off using the arrows to locate Michael."Hang on, Mi-chan! I need to go get some supplies, and we should all at least take enough food for lunch, ne? Plus, I want to ask Michael if he can come with as well...How about we meet at the doors in fifteen minutes?"Midori screeches to a halt quite suddenly after taking off, heeding her senpai's words. "Oh... right. Hai! Ano... Okay. Zilla-chan, Hew-kun, let's go! We'll get some lunch and a few bottles of water and..." whatever pensive mood Midori was in, something in the last few minutes dispelled it, and now she's raring to go. Without thinking, she returns to Hew-kun and takes his hand, 'dragging' him behind her, off to the cafeteria to get the needed supplies.
Chuckling at the excited Kitty and her reaction to the younger kids running off, Tryko'Sam continues towards the front doors.
He steps outside once there, looking around, trying to determine east, and when he does, he peers in that direction lost in some thoughts.
"What about the second? They don't seem to have much of a pattern."
"Uh Tybs, maybe I should help you with the "shiny"" by this point, about thirty-fourtyfive seconds after the "prophecy" Dave's illusion dissolves, due to him not refreshing it, not caring, given the setting.
Midori drags Hew-kun along and with Zilla-chan they go into the youngster's cafeteria. "Ano... Zilla-chan, why is Tryko'Sam cute?" she asks, sounding a bit naive, as if it were easy to quantify what you liked about people. They line up to get some bento boxes... lunch boxes.
"If we're gonna fight.. I wish I had some of my old clothes back, I can't move as well in this." she plucks at the fabric of her pants.
Zilla considers the question for a second. "He looks so cool and strong. But I bet he could be gentle to." She tells her with a dreamy looks in her eyes.
"Don't you have a some of your old cloths in your room? Were could stop by your room so you can change." She flutters over to Hew. "Don't you have a message for Midori? "
Hew snaps out of his trance and replies. "Oh yah thanks for the reminder. Lang was wanting to tell you Ignace, Grim and himself was leaving, but they ran Out of time. So he asked me to let you know."
"But you aren't green. You're clear. that's cool and all cause I can do this." He casts dancing lights and shines it through Dave casting a myriad of colors across the snow. "But I can't collect just one color of shiny. That would be boring. I don't have much green and none of it moves."
"The second was guarded by a pair of grisgol, constructs made from magical items. The third was the alhoon."
"I'm sorry, Tybs, but you won't be able to keep this gem. They have to be destroyed when the creature dies, or it doesn't stick."
"Aww. Oh well. How destroyed? Pieces?" He looks just a little disappointed. Not a whole lot. He hadn't really expected it in the first place.
She frowned, confused. "If you are from an order that preserves knowledge....or oh, right...hides knowledge that shouldn't be found? I'm not sure I entirely understand."
Salis reaches out to her and slides the back of his fingures across her cheek. "Since we hide knowledge but give freely the knowledge the world is ready for. One must be able to recoginize the dangers that something small could create. That way members can have an understanding of consiquinces that could come up If they share a certian knowledge." He spoke not peachy but instead it was soft and soothing.
"Alright, are you reassured enough about Tami and any other distractions you can think of?" Ginni asked with a knowing smile. "It's okay, this isn't anything bad. It's just a matter of learning how to take control of your own mind. It's pretty painless."Yeah I guess so, I still want to find out more about Tami though, I'll just ask her. but please don't tell Dom I was asking.
"Well, you can get to know Tami better at girls night tonight if you want," Ginni offered. "That's part of the fun of girls night."
"As for the other, You need to focus on your own mind. Sometimes it helps to close your eyes. Try to gather all of the thoughts that are clearly yours together to leave a sort of blank spot. You can think of it as a road or a river or really anything that goes through your mind but isn't part of it..."
wait you mean I'm invited? thanks
Mel gets serious on the rest of what Ginni tells her.
she closes her eyes and tries to concentrte. gathering her thoughts. her music, Renkai, her date last night, Dom and her, their childhood, that fishing trip...
All seems to be going well Mel is smiling at the happy memories she is recalling all her own thoughts.
"We had Jeran break up the last one, so pretty destroyed."
"Can I have the dust? Green dust is cool."
"You know, I bet the volcano has some cool rocks." He tells the icecat, starting his hike oard the mountain.
"Ooh. Probably. Igneous rock usually has good structural design. If its color is fairly muted. Crystal type things are common for such pressurized area if we go down far enough. Those would be cool." He is fairly talkative.
"A green gem? You are positive? Damn... The first book was guarded by a dweomercat with a green gem in it's chest. It was far more dangerous than it should have been."
Tyrrin uses Ghalen's offer of support for a few moments longer, gaining her feet. "Thank you." she says quietly, only intended for him, as she stands fully on her own power again.
"Yes, I'm fairly certain of that." Tyrrin replies easily, keeping an eye on the lookout as they begin in earnest to hike towards the mountains.
"I know, Honey. Me too. We'll get there."She took the tissue and wiped her eyes.
"I'm sorry. Sometimes I get impatient. I want to be able to be like a normal couple."
"Hopefully before we're old," she said with a wry smile.
"I'm sorry. I'm feeling a little moody. The weather is starting to turn colder. Just a little bit, but...."
"Heat and pressure, right? I imagine a few hundred tons of molten rock would work. It's even safe to look for it, with the magma gone now."
Salis reaches out to her and slides the back of his fingures across her cheek. "Since we hide knowledge but give freely the knowledge the world is ready for. One must be able to recoginize the dangers that something small could create. That way members can have an understanding of consiquinces that could come up If they share a certian knowledge." He spoke not peachy but instead it was soft and soothing.
She frowned, confused. "If you are from an order that preserves knowledge....or oh, right...hides knowledge that shouldn't be found? I'm not sure I entirely understand."
She blushed, her heart beating faster as she looked away. It had been a very long time since she'd had this butterflies in her stomach feeling about anyone.
"So you keep knowledge safe until people can be trusted not to use it to destroy everything...just a little of everything?" she asked, slightly breathless.
wait you mean I'm invited? thanks

"You're doing great. Now start building a wall around your own thoughts, leaving that little bit of open space for other thoughts to run through."
::First let's see what the book tries to kill us with. Then we can worry about rock hunting,:: he joked.
Kitty knocked on Michael's door. "Michael? I know you're in there....you weren't up all night working on experiments again were you?"
"If we must. Dying is so three days ago." He replies joking-sarcastically. "And you're sure that there isn't any more lava or magma or anything hot? Hot and I don't mix." He adds on a bit more serious note.
