"Should be at tha rooms soon." Arin turns a corner as you continue talking, and when Coravin asks about the rules again, she turns but is interupted.
"The Rules are the same as for any civilization. Don't steal, don't murder, etcetera. If you do, don't get caught. But you will get caught.. unless you are very good. These rules do not exist for any moral or ethical reasons - at least, not here in the school - Merely to keep order. Our Mister Priscus is very fond of Order.. what little is possible in such an environment as this." The speaker is a 7' tall ogre, his voice rough but his words well spoken. "Good day, Arin, I see you got Guide duty." He grins and extends his gigantic hand to the nearest student "My name is Mr Goran, I am a teacher here. As to the specifics on rules, we have one big one - Don't pick fights with people in a different class, and if you do pick a fight with someone, try to resolve it in the arena. Mr Priscus frowns upon having to clean blood out of the hallways and won't repay stupidity with ressurection. Where there any specific things you were wondering about whether the rules covered or not?"

Jamien reluctantly placed his mail clad palm in the strong grip of the otherwise eloquent Ogre. "I am Jamien de Chartes, it is a pleasure Mr. Goran. What do you teach here? I should hope to have the opportunity to spar with one of your size."
The boy Knight was of very strong body despite his young age, but somehow he felt that if the Ogre wanted to, he could have crushed his hand to goo. That thought stayed in the lad's head for only a moment, before a more pressing matter made him speak up again.
"Am I to understand that fights and acts of aggression are not uncommon between students of the same age? Must I be on guard as if I was camping on the battlefield?"

The Ogre chuckles at Jamien's comments and question "Only if you make a habit of angering others. Rash individuals who seek to disrupt things by getting into constant fights don't tend to last long here, but when two students do have a... difference of opinion.. well, those who come here do tend towards competetiveness, and such differences could be solved in a variety of ways - physical altercations being one. His grip is light as he shakes the knight's hand. "As to sparring, I'm afraid I'll have to pass - I am a scholar, not a fighter, despite my appearance. In fact, the class I teach is on overcoming preconceptions and.. how did that man put it.. 'not judging a book by its cover'. If you wish though, I have a cousin who teaches unarmed combat. Not a very eloquent fellow(He's only half ogre), but a good teacher nonetheless."

Jamien nodded with a reddened face. He did not expect the Ogre to be a scholar, and now felt like an idiot to assume solely on his appearance and race. "I would be grateful, although it seems that I would need to attend your lectures as well."
"Are the any regulations upon conjurations and summoning? I tend to do a good bit of that during lulls in my research, examining different traits to see what information I can glean from the planes from such creatures. Also, are there books in the library which details additional spells for an eager mind to make use of?"
Coravin paced his questions a bit slower this time, taking a small pause after the first to allow the question to filter into the minds of his guide and this teacher. He smiled faintly at the scene between the Knight and the ogre, the chivalrous knight making himself appear ignorant to the present company. It was ironic, no?

Aussir looks up at Mr Goran from between his feet."What good scholar be? No strength means no right. Strong best." The kobold pauses and stares at him for a moment.
