Books?

[... Not really. They're giant lizards. Giant lizards don't have libraries. Still, she can't say it's a stupid idea; she understands that's how the younger races study...]

The night elves have always been wary of outsiders. [She waves a hand.] They are prideful and insular. A show of good faith on your part may curry favor.

... But, I believe very little would be lost if the demonic horde just happened to demolish that particular village.

[... That doesn't make it better, Zeri.]

Still, the pursuit of knowledge is something I can appreciate. I can tutor you until the village accepts you, if you wish.

[gravitywell]

[ oh, no books. his expression falls, a bit, and he looks more than a little disgruntled. ]

They let that idiot Zelos in, though..

[ but whatever. a show of good faith - he can manage that much. after all, it's not so dissimilar from what he and raine had already been doing, but.. still. what a bummer, to have to deal with that even here! but - his expression brightens immediately at her suggestion. ]

Oh.. yeah! That'd be great! I mean.. if that's okay, if you're not busy or anything.

[mortalforged]

[Zerigosa is always busy, but he's a dragonsworn and a young one at that. She would be foolish to turn away someone with such potential.]

While I am making notes, is there anything else you need?

[gravitywell]

[ .. to ask or not to ask. ]

Um, well. [ DON'T CHICKEN OUT. ] .. a pillow or two might be nice!

[mortalforged]

A pillow?

[Oh. Bedding.]

Normally, dragons just make their own bedding. It seems I have made a kind of oversight...

[She considers, and then she waves her hand. Genis' bottom is now cushioned by a big plush blue pillow as big as he is.]

Will this suffice for the time being? I will make more available when I am finished with this list.

[gravitywell]

Oh.. um, well..

[ OH MAN now he's a little bit paranoid. make their own bedding? did he miss something? he's looking around, trying to think of an answer, when - poof! pillow! he looks surprised, then grins from ear to ear, both hands coming down to test its plushness. ]

W-wow..! That was really cool!

[mortalforged]

[She sort of forgot not everyone's a giant lizard. It happens.]

With practice, you may be able to conjure as well.

[gravitywell]

Really? Me? Do something like this?

[ i mean - he's more than accustomed to using offensive spells and things, but something like conjuring a pillow out of thin air --

-- well. that's a whole different realm. doing things like that.. could be really useful. he's already learning that magic here is completely different from magic at home, but wow.. ]

Well, if there's anything I'm good at, it's studying! I'll practice until I can do it in my sleep!

[mortalforged]

[Zeri blinks at him, not accustomed to people being so... cheerful and happy to learn. That hasn't happened for a while.]

Anything is possible with arcane magic. You need only learn how to weave what you want. There are risks, of course-- arcane magic is wild-- but tenacity and discipline will serve you well.

[gravitywell]

[ yeah sorry lady zeri, you've got a fully fledged childnerd on your hands here, now. offering yourself as a tutor might've been a.. really bad thing; he's bound to be insatiable. at least until he gets his hands on some books. ]

Anything..?

[ his eyes lift, wandering toward the ceiling again, where the bright threads of energy weave and bind and split and weave again. wild, she says, and that much must definitely been true - it feels so different from mana in many ways, but.. similar enough still that he's adept enough, for a beginner. ]

Well, magic is my specialty, back home! So, you got it. I won't stop 'til I've got it down to an art!

[mortalforged]

Anything.

[She'll think of something. Draconic culture-- well, it has books, but have you seen Atramedes' chamber? The books are dragon-sized.]

I thought you might have a gift. That is not the only reason we chose you, but it endears you to our flight.

[What's left of it, anyway. She can't help but smile a little, and then she catches herself and goes back to writing on the floating paper with her sparkling pen. The little tally marks might mean numbers.]

[gravitywell]

[ books are great and all and genis would probably have a lot of fun climbing around on a dragon sized book but.. for long term studying yeah no that's not terribly conducive.

but wow, anything.. genis worked hard back home to master his spells, to learn everything about magic that he could, but man, conjuring things out of thin air - anything he wants - now that's super cool.

and the way she says those things - a hundred questions pop up in his mind. why they chose him.. he could just as easily spend all day asking her a hundred thousand things, but she's definitely still busy, and he's getting sleepy anyway, so.. another time. ]

Right, well.. guess I'll have to think of some way to get them to let me into that village. Maybe I'll sleep on it.

[mortalforged]

Surely you can find some way to be of use to them. Catching food, a gift of healing salves, even clearing the forest of minor demons-- though, I do not recommend doing that alone. Any of these things would certainly be seen in a positive light.

For now... rest well. [He should, with that pillow.]

[gravitywell]

[ food, items, demons.. okay, cool, these are all things he'll tuck away in his wee little mind for later use. he looks thoughtful, for a moment, then nods and springs to his feet again, taking up the edge of the pillow to drag it off and away. ]

Okay, thanks! [ p-pause -- ] Um.. maybe sometime when you're not busy, you could, um.. h-help me with my magic, a little bit?

[ since like where are the mage trainers ]

[mortalforged]

[She nods patiently.]

Perhaps when you awaken. Which should be... ten hours from now, if my observations are correct.

I will be here.

[gravitywell]

[ wow already!! ]

Great! Thanks a lot!

[ OFF HE GOES ah how exciting.. ]
