[it isn't that she doesn't trust those Seelie folk. it's only that she doesn't see the point in associating with them for the time being. time will come to meet them, and she has little down it will be with them on the opposite end of her scythe.

in any case, she believes if people can ask after their friends and loved ones, after transport and expeditions, one more question cannot go amiss. she clears her throat, and the voice that comes out is calm yet stressing words in a somewhat theatrical manner.]

The beauty and fierceness that inhabits this land...oh, the words of the poets struggle to match up to what can be seen, to what exists in every breath. Let one be silent in that instance, and all the better for it to merely experience it all. Bringing such an obvious thing to notice is not my purpose in addressing this device and by extension all of you, however.

Since arriving here, much has intrigued me, from the hows and whys behind our new circumstances to our recent encounters with the worms to the overwhelming presence of magic in this world. The latter, really, has been most attractive to me, especially with the newly opened possibility of being able to wield it myself.

Yet I am not so prideful as to think I can achieve such a thing on my own. To that end, I am wondering if someone out there has the time and inclination to take on a pupil in learning the arts of magic. I can promise you I am a faithful and punctual student, and I would be sincerely in your debt.

Maybe two pupils?

[ hi grell she's glad you're not on fire ]

[erythristic]

[it's nice to not be on fire.]

I'll put in a word for you, darling. It'd be selfish to ask for a private tutor when I'm only a novice, anyway.

[boutant]

Thank you. I have no idea what I'm doing, and-- well, books can only tell you so much.

[erythristic]

A hands-on experience yields the most satisfying results, I've always found.

[boutant]

Are you going to learn anything specific, or as much as you can?

[dragmire]

Should I offer this, you will need to prove yourself worthy of such attention. I am not a man given to taking pupils. But under these circumstances... [He lets the word hang for a moment as if to consider it.] It may be to our mutual benefit.

[erythristic]

And what must one do to prove themselves worthy of you?

[dragmire]

Nothing so difficult. You prove you have discipline, wits, and a measure of strength. I have no time for idle fools.

[erythristic]

I can satisfy all three of those requirements easily.

[Oh hey it's the girl that Kano bragged about danced with Kano.]

Looks like a lot of us picked magic huh? Well, it's the most practical thing to fight with in a fairytale world right?

[erythristic]

It's also dreams come to life. Who among us didn't dream of having magical powers when they were small?

[concealingeyes]

Heh. I always wanted the ability to turn invisible. Or to fly, something like that.

[erythristic]

Ask, and you'll more than likely be given a way. Perhaps the secret is hidden in one of the library's books, if you're the more independent sort.

[gordianknots]

I'm a professor of magecraft back home. If you have a specific goal in mind, I can design you a curriculum around that, and offer instruction.

[erythristic]

A specific goal? I doubt that "learning as much as I can" would suit...though I'll be honest, I was hoping to learn more about offensive magic before anything else.

[gordianknots]

I can understand the learn everything sentiment. [Boy can he ever.]

So, okay, that's easy enough. The system I'm used to using requires a genetic factor, but having perused the library, I think that magic here doesn't have that component. So then, for me, the question becomes: what kind of magic would suit you best for that need? Which means that we'd need to do some preliminary work to see what you're comfortable with.

[erythristic]

That, I'm completely fine with. Everyone has something they're better suited to, in both the mundane and the mysterious. What would this preliminary work entail?

[boteillier]

[He can't help but comment, even if it's barely worth the trouble of having to converse with the Shinigami.] I do not think anyone would find you punctual in anything. [He may not like William, but they agree on one thing.]

[erythristic]

[he speaks. the little lord allowed him enough free time to peruse the network? and he chose to speak to her? goodness, he must miss her terribly.]

My dear, you are so woefully mistaken. One of the cardinal virtues for me is having a sense of timing, in work as well as play. And in recent memory, I cannot recall where I have failed to uphold it.

[boteillier]

Your servititude days would speak otherwise. [ More like circumstances here have made him anything but pleased.]

Regardless, I find it doubtful that your supervisor would aprove of learning other methods, considering how susicious he is of anything non-status quo.

[erythristic]

My supervisor is not here. His opinion on what I choose to learn matters little, if at all.

[and William's never faced being in a faerie war, absent from his original purpose. she's sure even he would understand that circumstances call for new methods.]

voice | i can late tag if i want

[duplicitoussight]

So you're learning as well? Does this call for a study session?

[erythristic]

Only if scheduling allows. Speaking of, you never let me know yours so that we could begin our lessons together.

[duplicitoussight]

Well, a boy like me's got a preeetty open schedule. There really isn't much to aside from moping about in the library.

[erythristic]

Collect your friends and let's set a date for...oh, how does two days from now sound?
