A Teacher for Laynie: Mystery at the Academy (Part 2)

[Rystil Arden]

"Well...we got into a fight because I was invited to a fancy celebratory dinner for the best students and he wasn't...I invited him as my guest, but he felt I was demeaning him for not being good enough at magic..." Kitty-Lex sighs.

Vanitri hugs Kitty-Lex "Well, when it comes to things like love and friendship, arent' little spats like that meaningless?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, then we got into a fight and he went out with Kitty, and I went out with you," Sarya-Lex explains, "And I guess it sort of escalated for a while...But now he's gone, and all I can think is that I should have tried to say something when I had the chance..."

 

[Bront]

Vanitri gives Sarya-Lex a hug, "All you can do is remember the best of him, and learn from your mistakes."

"But are you saying you only went out with me to get back at him?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"That and to help me feel better about myself...I mean, compared to Kitty, you know?" Sarya-Lex admits quietly, "Does that make me selfish and petty?"

 

[Bront]

"Well, I hope I made you feel better at least. Perhaps if you weren't so afraid of being youself and stoped compairing yourself to others. I know that at the moment, there's no other woman at the Academy I'd rather be with than you," He says to Sarya-Lex, "and you," to Kitty-Lex, with a smile.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well...I..." Sarya-Lex blushes, as does Kitty-Lex.

"What about Misha?" Kitty-Lex asks, "Do you say that to all the girls to make them feel better?"

 

[Bront]

"Misha was... well, Misha was different. In many ways, she didn't fit in well, like me. She was special, yes, but in her own way," Vanitri says. "Lex, I won't lie to you. I enjoyed spending time with her, and admitedly most of the female persuasion. But I barely got to know her. I've known you since before I was even a student. And if I had to choose between her and you, I'd choose you in a heartbeat. Remember, when I offered to give up my soul, it wasn't just for Laynie."

OOC: You have e-mail btw. You should reply to my home address too though.

*Both Lexes expressions soften and their eyes open slightly wider, an effect that looks extremely fetching on Kitty-Lex, and they flush slightly, almost in tandem. Then they both lean in at the same time from opposite sides and give Vanitri a kiss on either cheek.*

"That's so sweet, Vanitri!" Kitty-Lex says, touched, a small tear in one eye.

"Alden, and you too..." Sarya-Lex says quietly, "So many people willing to sacrifice themselves for me...it really makes me feel simultaneously bittersweet...but it strengthens my resolve. I am going to do something great some day and become a great wizard to help people. I owe it to everyone who is standing behind me and willing to whatever it takes to see me through. What do you think?"

 

[Bront]

"Indeed, you will Lex. You're already a wonderful woman, and you'll be a great wizards someday. You have the drive, the will, and the talent. I'm just glad I got to be a part of it."
