IA: A Teacher for Laynie

[Bront]

"I don't know, Mr. Freefolk. Pranking Alden aside, based on age and your year at school, you are either too old or too young for me," Elektra laughs, "Is that the kind of thing that averages out?"

"Bah, age is in yer head. You'd be supprised how few of the 'folk realy pay attention to it. And either way, you're good with Laynie and seem to know your way around this stuff. I'm sure I wouldn't mind seeing you fairly often if and when I end up here."

"So, you never answered my question, what would you like me to call ya?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Whichever member of the set {Elektra, Lex} you prefer. I really don't mind either way. Personally, I usually call myself Elektra. Is that a good enough answer?"

 

[Bront]

"Well, That will work," Vanitri says with a smile.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Elektra nods and continues onward, turning the corner and nearly bumping into a blond-haired boy with a somewhat handsome face but a longish nose, which he turns up in a sneer.*

"Watch where you're going, you lowblood whore."

"Go screw yourself, Solon," Elektra replies quickly, bringing her hand to her pocket as Solon does the same, but then he just sneers again and walks past.

"Don't pay any heed to him. He's just a jerk. Hang on, just around the corner in this room, ah here--" she glances inside the room, "Excellent, there she is."

*She steps inside and motions for the others to follow, entering a reading room where a girl with auburn hair is resting on a divan, curled up with a good book.*

"Sarya, what good luck to find you here! I'm leading these folks on a tour of all the dormitories. Could you help let us into Sice?"

*The girl yawns and nods.*

"Sure, I'll escort you through," she stands up and stretches, "Let's go."

*She looks around at the trio of visitors, finally settling on Vanitri as the leader:*

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sarya Atropos. Who have we here?"

 

[Bront]

"I am Vanitri, this is Mearan and Laynie."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Pleased to meet you all. Follow me."

*Sarya leads the trio, plus Elektra, to a patch of wall with an intricate rune on it. She touches the rune and it glows and hums. Then she touches each of her guests.*

"Okay, now we can all walk through the walls. After you."

*Elektra nods and walks directly into the wall after motioning for Vanitri and the others to follow.*

 

[Bront]

Vanitri follows, a bit aprehensively.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Vanitri walks directly into the wall which ripples around him with a weird slurping sensation, and he quickly finds himself in a finely appointed hallway with beautiful carpets and candlebras that give it a nice ambience.*

*Sarya leads them down the halls, and eventually opens a door, leading into a richly furnished room with easily as much space as the doubles in the other dormitories, a beautifully-patterned carpet, a large king-sized bed complete with diaphonous bed curtains, matching ornate ebony furniture including an armoire and desk, a large vanity with a big gilded mirror, and a big plush divan, plus several comfy chairs.*

"Welcome to Chez Sarya. Do you have any questions for me? You've probably been asking poor Elektra all day, so I can answer a few and give you a different perspective."

 

[Bront]

"This certaintly is elaborate. Do you share the room with someone?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Nope. Just a single. Pretty nice, huh? It may not have an Imaginarium like Elektra's dorm, but there's another of those that's bigger for the whole school. All in all, we definitely have the nicest dorm."

*Elektra looks like she's about to say something, but she doesn't.*
