She nodded.
"I hope you're right, that it is just because she was the easiest to get to. But you'll have to excuse the parental paranoia. It's mandatory, especially in my family."
"I'm not really condoning assigned friends, especially not for Ephebe, but is there anyone you trust among her classmates who can help keep an eye on her? James means well, and he'll try, but you know how distractable he is."
Headmaster Ryo |
"Off the top of my head? No one that isn't family and would do it without being asked. Anyone we did ask would have to explain to her why they are suddenly hanging around, and sine she already has a stalker... someone new who is acting strangely around her might scare her. I can't imagine she'd scare easy, but she is already on edge."

"Her name is Belyu. I belive she would prefer someone who didn't want to be her friend to get close to Kamenwati. Not that there is a good chance of that happening [o]now[/i] though, not after he told everyone he was a cambion." The gray cat images.

She considered this.
"Yes, that could work. And would be easy to arrange without causing suspicion. All we have to do is ask Kam to invite Ephebe to sit in on a band rehearsal or two, let her get to know the other kids. Easy enough and we'll have to explain what's really going on to Taron and Kam as well. If this is a Hunter Taron and James will also be targets."Garble |

"Hey! Hey! 'Hunter' is enchanter?"
Garble |
She turned her droconic purple eyes towards the loud goblin.
"I do not think so. But possibly. Hunter is dangerous, and thankfully, not here. Are you looking for an enchanter? Because there surely must be many such options here...."
"No! I ain't fond, actually. Enchanting, nasty magic. Hunter ain't enchanter, then. What are 'empath'?" The goblin seems nervous, watching the draconic woman warily.

"Do you know what psionics are?" she asked with surprising patience (having learned a little about teaching from raising three inquisitive children) "Mind magic? An empath is someone who uses the power of the mind to read other people's emotions and sometimes change them."

"Um...no. Psionics? No. What is 'empaths' doing? Stalking? Hunters?" The goblin seems torn between his generally antisocial nature and curiosity. He pulls out a length of wire from a pocket, and fidgets with it uncertainly.
Sorry to slow things down. Consider it a recap. Or, if Aananda isn't in the mood for so many questions, a lesson in goblin edibility. :P
Garble |
She sighed. Clearly the fastest way to get the goblin to move on was to satisfy his curiousity.
"The Hunters are ruthless people who use the powers of the mind to hunt down and kill certain types of dragons. And that's as much explanation as you're going to get."
The goblin eyes Aanandareavekki, looking a bit confused. Suddenly, his eyes widen. "Oh! Gyaaah! Augh!" The goblin bolts.
Perceptive people (which probably means almost everyone present)will notice that Garble's eyes flashed white the instant before he panicked.
Would a spell to detect magic or magical creatures detect anything significant in this group?
And yes, that was a joke.
EDIT: Of course, it just occurred to me that there might be wards against such effects. If this is the case, ignore everything after Garble looking confused. :P

Hmmm...

Yes, teach how your body and mind works so he can use that in future flirting, I'm sure that will end excellently...
Oh it already is, my good tressym - you will note that as soon as I shifted the 'Zeppler Effect' back to her, she changed to her human form.
Positively resplendent, that.... ;D
