Who I'm with- My otter!(@Grim Wraithe Stjerna amd Valian(@folclor


What I'm doing- he's hurt.


"You're hurt darling!" Violet shoved a nurse out the way and bent down by his side. "What would I do if you couldn't be brought back huh?" She looked really emotional. "Please be more careful okay... I know I'm just as bad." She smiled and rubbed his head gently. "But someone loves you now okay.I can't stop you from fighting and I don't want to. I just ask that you be more careful." She felt her voice break alittle.

Who I'm with: My teachers (@Grim Wraithe Stjerna) (@Pinkalyn) (@Mad Prince of Sanity) and the two about to fight (@shadowstrikr25) (@Happy Red Mage)/James (@TommyGun15) and Ivela (@Lunaria Silver)/My brother and his mate (@StartingOver)


What I'm doing: Announcing the next match/Talking/Reacting


Nishira grinned as she watched Frank collect his project. "Very good," she murmured. "The Arena will heal itself." And, indeed, as the headmistress spoke the arena filled in the holes, looking exactly as it had before any of the fights that day. "Next match. Reagan Deimos versus Iana Darkstraight!" This one would be very interesting, indeed.


---


Why'nn heard Reagan's name called and looked, momentarily, toward the pit. She soon turned her attention back to Ivela, though, guilt beginning to pool in her chest as a sickness. The girl bit her lip and looked away.


"I... I was lying. I apologize, Ivela. My mind is hazy and I cannot recall what happened over the course of the past few minutes." Why'nn glanced up at the taller girl. "Please forgive me."


---


Valian rolled his eyes at Violet's words. The sappiness was almost too much to bear. Behind Violet, poising himself so Grim would be able to see, he mimed choking. After a moment he stopped and chuckled.


"Okay, Violet, give him some space. It's not like he's been alone for the past 3 years or anything."
 
Shard


Location: Arena


With: Why'nn then Nishira and Frank @folclor @Pinkalyn


Action: Parting Ways, thinking.


Shard nodded to the girl, teleporting back to the teacher's viewing box once he was out of eyesight and chuckled to himself. His initial assessment proving true to him, in his own mind at least, that this was indeed a unique place full of wonderful.... if odd... people. Watching Frank and Nishira talk and plot making him almost want to snort, but he knew he doing so would not make the Keeper happy, thus he simply walked forward beside her and gently tapped at her shoulder "Pardon me Keeper, but I believe I have made a decision as to my... protege was it you said?" Shard smiled and continued after politely awaiting her reaction "Well then, I have made my decision... you." Shard's smile fell and he hummed "As I informed you earlier, my classes will no doubt put a strain on the plane itself, and while I will be instructing the students on how to properly cope with and battle this threat, it will do them little good if the woman holding the ground beneath their feet together is... unprepared. After all, weakness does not suit you Keeper, lovely and oh-so-magnificent as you are." Shard's voice rose an octave when he began complimenting Nishira, taking on a more... grandiose tone like someone had taken the grand, booming ostentatious-ness of a circus ring-leader who was unveiling a new oddity and condensed it to the level of a casual conversation perfectly.

Who I'm with- Valian(@folclor) and Grim (@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


What I'm doing- rolling my eyes.


"Somehow you're already testing my new found patience." She turned her head and looked at Valian. Her eyes narrowed into slits. "After I went out and bought you water."


She then stuck her tounge out at him before turning back to Grim. Her insults seemed less hate filled now.

What I'm doing: Refusing/Testing patience, apparently


Nishira glared at the shard of madness. "Shard. Your protege needs to be a student." She turned her attention back to the pit. "With the amount of different creatures here, the hormones, and what I'm subjecting them to, it's a bit presumptuous for you to assume I can't handle what you're going to do." She reached out and ran a finger down Delrick's arm. "Delrick, dear, go check on Manara. She's been gone too long for my liking."


---


Valian stuck his tongue out at Violet, then shrugged in a way that said, 'Well, I tried.'


"Look, Violet, I'm not kidding about him needing some air. I'm sure he likes that you're beside him, but he got beat up pretty bad. He needs a little room to recover a bit." 'Aw, man, I sound like someone's mom...'

What I'm doing- Growling.


"Would you like me to blast you now or later?" She asked not looking back. "Cause I will... Oh I will." She stood however and backed up standing next to Valian. "You're so annoying you know that?" She bumped him in the ribs. She walked away and grabbed his water bottle. She walked back and handed it to him.


"You're like an annoying older brother."

Who I'm with: Why'nn (@folclor ) and James (@TommyGun15 )


What I'm Doing: Nodding


Ivela didn't lose her smile at Why'nn's confession, in fact it widened a bit. Why'nn was an honest one. Ivela wasn't what one would call honest, but she never lied just for fun.


"If we are being honest, Why'nn, I already knew you were lying. Don't take this the wrong way, but you should practice hiding your feelings." By that, she meant she should practice lying.


"Even if you can't always hide them you need to at least learn how to lie. I'm sure one day you'll need that skill."


After Ivela's boring speech about how lying was important, she turned to Why'nn's apparent memory loss.


"I am not entirely sure what happened either. Do you remember..." 'What was that boy's name? Reagan mentioned it I believe...'


"speaking to Connor?" If she did, it might be of some comfort to tell her it wasn't Connor she was speaking to, but someone else entirely.

Who I'm with: Why'nn (@folclor ), Ivela (@Lunaria Silver )


What I'm doing: Waking up


James slowly blinked his eyes open, looking next to him to find Why'nn talking to Ivela. It was always a bit inconvenient how he'd always space out when he was meditating on his spells. Nevertheless, he smiled at Why'nn, a bit surprised that he had a blue blanket on him for some reason.


"Hi Why'nn, Ivela. Sorry I spaced out there for a bit. Did I miss anything? Who won the last fight?"

"Oh, sweet! Water! Thanks, Violet!" Valian grinned and took the water. "Hear that, Grim? She called me an older brother! Clan's succeeding! Now we just have to add more people!" He began to radiate light again as he opened the bottle and took a swig. "Want some?" He offered it to Grim as well. Brothers share!


---


Why'nn shook her head. "I remember punching him, but not why."


She smiled at James and ducked under Pale Luna to sit beside him once more. "Grim won. And I believe Reagan is fighting next. I do not know what happened with me, but something did. I honestly cannot remember, though I know I punched Connor for some reason... Then the mad teacher visited my mind and gave me a shield there. It was quite fun." She thought a moment more. "He gave me that blanket. But colors are not mine to have so I gave it to you instead."

What I'm doing: Talking


James looked at the blanket for a moment or two, then back at Why'nn.


"It doesn't feel right taking this if it's meant for you... Wait, I think I have an idea."


James pulled the blanket off of himself and set it on his lap. Then he cast a small Cantrip Imalia had taught him, just a practice spell really. The sky blue of the blanket slowly faded to a light gray, warming a bit as if it was just our of the dryer. James draped the blanket over Why'nn's shoulders.


"Better?"

What I am doing: Talking


Why'nn wriggled a bit, then glanced back at him. A blush spread across her cheeks and she snuggled up, resting her head against his shoulder.


"Better." Her eyes closed and she nuzzled him. "You did not see what happened at all, though? Either of you? I would like to know... I do not know why I punched Connor. I feel terribly guilty for some reason."


Warmth. She stifled a yawn and opened her eyes halfway, looking over at Ivela.

James blushed as Why'nn snuggled up to him, but he didn't pull away. Instead he gave her arm a gentle pat.


"I'm sorry, but I didn't see anything. I was meditating on my spells for the next fight. But if you're feeling guilty, maybe talking about it will help you feel better. What exactly happened, as far as you can remember?"

Again, Why'nn shook her head.


"I got up and told you I would return... Then I went... At some point I must have found Connor, but I cannot remember doing so. The next thing I remember is being angry, punching him, and feeling his jaw crack. After that it is blurry until Mad Teacher entered my mind." She frowned and looked up at James. "I feel guilty. I do not know why. Why would I punch him? Why did I get up?"

James thought about what Why'nn said.


"Well, I remember after our fight you said that you were angry with Connor for giving up... As for the blurriness, that might be a symptom of mental manipulation. While I sincerely doubt that Connor would do something like that to you, it isn't a possibility to ignore."

What I am doing: Extrapolating


"I was. There is something different about it now. I do not know why." Her frown became a pout. "I do not want to assume Connor would do that. I believe he loves me. He is a good person. If he loves me and is a good person, even if he is an outlander, that means he would not wish to hurt me, yes?"


Now she moved, laying down with her head in his lap, staring up at him.


"Did I perhaps miss something? He promised he would never..."

Who I'm with: Why'nn (@folclor ), Ivela (@Lunaria Silver )


What I'm doing: Embarrassed


James blushed even harder when Why'nn laid her head on his lap, focusing on the conversation, and not on his feelings Why'nn that had been building since they'd first melded minds. That tended to happen with seeing someone on the mindscape, you either sympathized with them, or despised them, and melding only made it worse.


"Well... I'll be perfectly honest about Connor. Something felt off during the fight. You saw those crazy powers he started throwing out there. There's no way he just suddenly got those. I think that something odd is going on with him, but I don't know what. Until then, it might be best to simply stay clear of him."

Who I'm With: Why'nn (@folclor ) and James (@TommyGun15 )


What I'm Doing: Explaining


Ivela smirked a bit at the snuggling, raising one eyebrow before she stopped staring at them, deciding to share what she knew. "Well, I don't know if Connor would do that to you, however, the being that had control of him might."


Ivela paused, as if awaiting a response before she realized that she should probably elaborate. "James is right though. During his fight with Violet, I felt that his aura had darkness in it. At the time I did not find it alarming, as it seemed to be overpowered by light. But while he fought James, the darkness overtook the light. It was..." Ivela shivered slightly. "not pleasant. I could only feel darkness and shadows. Auras do not shift so drastically so quickly unless a person has multiple personality disorder, or something else has taken them over. Essentially, they are a different person. His aura was still in that state of darkness when I spoke to him last."

What I am doing: Conversing


"Mmm... we should snuggle, James." She smiled, her human and winding up to play with his hair a bit. Well, maybe hair wasn't bad if it was clean. James's felt soft. Why'nn sighed happily. However, Ivela's words temporarily drew her attention away.


"I cannot remember whether his soul had anything else with it when we were in the mindscape." She shook her head. "It is painful to be unable to properly remember."


Now, her attention turned back to James. Her hand ran from his hair to his skin.


"Soft... Snuggle?"

What I'm doing- ugh...


"Stop..." She rolled her eyes but giggled. "I didn't realize when I wanted Grim I got you as well." She looked around. "It looks like we claimed Why'nn so I move we claim Ivlea as my sister!" She looked to Valian. "We can go to class together, train together oh it'll be great."

James's face could've blended into the robes of a Thayan mage as Why'nn ran her hand across him.


"I mean... I guess we could..."


James gently wrapped his arm around Why'n and pulled her close to him, not really sure where he should be looking, or where it would be appropriate to place his hands. After a few minutes of deliberation, he simply let his hand rest on Why'nn's side as he watched the fight in the arena.

What I'm Doing: Being amused


Ivela stared at how red James was, before her shoulders began to shake in barely restrained laughter. Small snickers escaped from her as she turned to walk away. Only after she was a short distance away from the two snugglers did she begin to laugh a genuine laugh. A loud one, even if that wasn't her intention. She kept laughing for a moment, tears actually gathering in the corners of her eyes.

"Well, hang out and train, yes. But you're first year like Why'nn and boytoy. We have different classes." He shrugged. "I don't know how else to tell ya this: You're an underclassman. We graduate when you finish your second year. No idea what that means, but we do."


---


Why'nn let out a squeal, then shifted so she faced him as he held her. After a moment she seemed to decide this wasn't good enough, however, and sat up, moving to straddle him and wrap her arms around him. Her legs hung off the back of the bench as she laid her head against his shoulder.


"I am beginning to believe Mistress Zaltya and the others were wrong about outlanders," she whispered in his ear. "You are nice. Your soul is so bright and warm, so good. You are clean, despite having hair." At this, her human hand moved up to play with his hair a little. "Your laugh makes my heart happy." She grinned. "I like you, James."

Doing: Getting ready to fight


Reagan exhaled as her name was called. 'Round 3, here I come.' She walked into the arena and stretched out a little, looking through the crowd. She couldn't see Connor anywhere, but James was easy to spot. And he seemed to be cuddling Why'nn. 'I'll check on that after the fight. If he makes things worse...' Reagan exhaled and got into a similar stance of readiness that she had seen other fighters use. 'Alright, review. She uses magic and seems to like her opponents up close. Try to keep at a distance, use the Elec-wing MK II, and try out that new trick on her.' Reagan prepared herself for her opponent's entry, waiting.

James focused on the arena as Why'nn clung to him, too embarrassed to look at her. He spoke back to her in a soft voice.


"I like you too Why'nn... Although... This is a bit of an awkward situation... I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do right now..."


James saw Reagan walk out onto the arena and pointed her out to Why'nn, trying to change the subject.


"Hey look, Reagan's fighting. Go Reagan!"

What I am doing: Being confused


Why'nn pouted slightly and drew back, looking at him and, for the first time, noticed how red his face was.


"What is awkward? We are snuggling, yes? It is not as if this is a forbidden thing, is it?" She cocked her head to the side. "Is this about some outlander custom I do not yet understand? Does this have to do with Connor?"





However, he'd stated he felt awkward, so Why'nn sighed and climbed off of him, instead leaning her head on his shoulder.





"I bet she will fry her combatant alive. I have not seen her kind of arcana before. I like her. Reagan is a good friend."
