Academy of Drell, Part I

[Tokiwong]

Keith thinks for a moment, "A summary of the Discipline would be perfect..."

Perhaps I should help...

Keith helps Charlotte by grabbing hte hard to reach books for her, although an Elf he is somewhat tall for his species at 5'10"...

Why is she trying to help me... is that a sign of friendship? For that matter why did i go out of my way for her?

"There is so much information here..." he says as he reaches up to look through another book.

 

[Tokiwong]

BUMP!!!!

OOC: Just bumping did not display that I posted...

 

[GnomeWorks]

"There certainly are."

Why am I helping him? Because he helped me? But why, then, did I ask him to help me in the first place? ...

Charlotte continues to scan the titles of books, looking for something that might be of help.

"Astral Constructs: The Continuing Engima... Folding Space: Teleportation Explained... Learning how to Control Flames..." She pauses for a moment, before continuing.

"Hmm... ah, here we go - Psychoportation, A Beginner's Guide to. That might be of help."

Charlotte lifts the heavy tome out, and sets it on a shelf at shoulder height.

"Well, that was fun. Someone really should come through here and sort all these books. There are far too many to guess where what you're looking for is." She says, putting her hand to her head. "I'm tired from all that searching. Do you want to go sit somewhere in the library, or somewhere else?"

Define somewhere else, Charlotte, define somewhere else...

 

[Tokiwong]

Somewhere else?

"Well there is an emtpy table over there..." he pulls a tome from the shelf... "you might find this interesting... Lerning How to Control Flames," he carries it under his arm.

Perhaps be prudent and safe... besides this place seems peaceful enough no need for rumors to fly...

"Thank you for finding the book... that will be a start I suppose," he walks towards the table and places the books on it softly.

Keith offers Charlotte a seat and then sits down himself and looks over the Psychoportation, A Beginner's Guide to...

Did she really want to go some place else?

 

[GnomeWorks]

"Fine with me." Charlotte, says, walking over to the indicated table.

Next time, think before you speak, Charlotte. Think before you open your mouth!

"Thanks for picking that up for me," She says, indicating the Learning How to Control Flames book. "I was considering it, but I had already grabbed a book. I don't know how much I could have carried."

"You're welcome. I hope that it helps you in deciding what you're going to study next."

What the heck is that supposed to mean, Charlotte? Again, I'm speaking without thinking...

Charlotte takes the seat offered to her, opens up The Usefulness of Precognition in Combat, and starts reading.

 

[Tokiwong]

Keith nods as he peruses over the pages, "Well I saw controlling flame... and it made me think of... you... I mean your fascination and all."

That was well fumbled quite well. Get control Keith... you spent years learning to control your emotions.. your thoughts... like steel... poised and always ready... steady and strong...

Keith flips about the book reading... then looking to another section...

"Well I shall start by doing some of these mental exercises... and perhaps bout of meditation shall help... and these mentionings of psicrystals is interesting... do you have one?"

There you go, reign in your thoughts.

 

[GnomeWorks]

He's getting confused, too. His speech slipped up. He hasn't done that before. I'll remember that.

"That's very thoughtful of you, thanks." Charlotte says, looking up at him, and then returning to her book.

"I have a psicrystal, yes. It's in my room. I took it off when I meditated this morning after our spar. Do you want me to go get it for you so you can take a look at it?"

Slow, Charlotte, slow down... don't rush him. He can study psionics on his own, too - he's a bright boy. Don't make him learn faster than he's used to.

 

[Tokiwong]

Well I wouldn't mind...

Keith nods, "If it isn't too much trouble... I don't want to interrupt your reading. Just curious is all, but it can wait till a better time."

Don't want to annoy her with my constant prattle...

 

[GnomeWorks]

Charlotte nods her head.

"No, it isn't too much trouble. I've got all day to read. The psicrystal might be mentioned later in your book, so you might need to know some about it."

Charlotte gets up, and rushes from the library into her room.

"Okay, on the bed. There it is."

What now... oh, I see. You're talking to Keith, and he needs a psicrystal to look at. I'm not going to let you let him dissect me.

Yes, yes, I know. Just shut up. He won't take you apart, he's just going to look at you.

She grabs the psicrystal and accompanying necklace, walks out of her room and closes her door, and rushes back to the library.

"Here you go, Keith," She says, setting the psicrystal down next to the book he's reading. "Hope it helps."

Charlotte returns to her seat and starts reading her book again.

 

[Tokiwong]

Keith looks at the psicrystal with an appreciative eye, he holds it gently between his fingers, "Thank you..."

"It looks like a nomral necklace... what does it do?"

Go figure that a psicrystal would look like a normal crystal...
