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

[Bront]

"No, not that natural. I mean understanding it. It's almost erie."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Eerie? I don't know, I've seen some pretty scary things. A gift of intelligence is a wonderful thing, especially for a race as short-lived as humans, as you don't have all that much time to learn magic, well, unless you learn enough to achieve some way to stave off death."

 

[Bront]

"I just hope she can learn to use it well," Vanitri says.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, I'm sure she will. You're here to help her, after all...Now then, where were we, mister uncle?" Misha brushes up against him as she leans over and takes a look at his notes and books to find the place, "So do you think you're going to be able to solve a flow diagram? It seems like something they would put on the exam to me, but it's just so hard..." she rests her head against his side.

 

[Bront]

Vanitri wraps his arm around her and smiles as he helps work through the work with her, occasionaly rubbing her back as he goes.

*Misha sighs and rolls back her shoulders sinking into his touch as they discuss theories. They still aren't able to get a good solution for how to solve the flow diagrams at any but the simplest of levels, though.*

*After hours of studying, talking, and sitting together on Vanitri's bed, happily unmolested by Dolder Vreemont, the door opens suddenly and Laynie comes walking cheerfully into the room.*

"Hey Mister Vanitri, whatcha doing?" she begins, than notices Misha, "Oh look, an elf girl!"

 

[Bront]

"Hello Laynie, this is Misha," Vanitri says. "What have you been up to today?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Reading books, and talking to Elektra, and stuff. Whatcha doing?"

 

[Bront]

"Misha and I are studying for 'Mysteries of the Six Towers'."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh, that thingy. It's pretty easy, though. Was it just to spend time alone together? Elektra says that people sometimes do that," Laynie posits, "Maybe I can help. Did you see my pictures of that class? There's a pony!"
