Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 3197717" data-attributes="member: 7006">As Jango lies on the bed, his muscles unwinding, his body relaxing, his thoughts finally starting to slow down, he can feel the warm blanket of sleep begin to overtake him.That of course gets shattered when he hears his sister Jina scream out with a [COLOR=FFF66]"But FATHER!!!"[/COLOR] and a wail of tears.An eyelid opens on Jango, and the sounds of bootsteps can be heard coming down the hall to his door.  One quick rap on the wood is followed by the knob turning and Watchmaster Silversun strides into the room, wife and mother Morinda close behind, and a crying Jina in back."No sleep yet, boy.  We've got to have a talk first.  Sit up.  Jina, in here."With several sniffles, Jina moves past her parents and joins Jango on the bed.  Morinda moves behind Klim and puts her hand on his arm, and when he turns to her he sees the pain in her eyes.  He reaches out, puts his arm around her, and draws her to him in a sideways hug.  He then turns back to the two of you."To say that I'm very disappointed with you, is an understatment.  I have enough disobedience with the members of the Watch that I really don't appreciate having to deal with it at home too.  I know that you both thought you were invincible... and perhaps your mother and I were to blame a bit for allowing you to begin training in your specific arts and thus feeding this feeling of invincibility."  He looks straight at both of you."But I hope you both realize what your actions could have resulted in.  Jina, I hope you never forget the feeling you had when you woke up and realized your brother was gone from the forest.  And Jango, I hope you always remember what it was like being held hostage in that camp, with a dozen people who would do you harm not more than several yards away.  You are both very, very lucky."He releases a deep sigh, and you can see your mother wipe away a tear as her thoughts of what could have happened to both of you run through her head.  "You both need to be punished.  However, at your age just sitting in your room for a week is no longer a punishment as it is more of a welcomed respite.  So you both will have another one more fitting.  Work."He walks over to the bed and places his hand on his daughter's shoulder.  "Jina, it is time you learned what true swordwork is all about.  Tomorrow you will come with me to the militia training grounds and begin weapons training.  12 hours tomorrow and every day for the rest of the week.  And Jango?  You will see to your mother tomorrow morning and she will determine how your magical training will go.  But she will tell you that a quality mage spends full days within their study, pouring over books and tomes, creating admixtures, weaving spells.  I know your magic comes naturally to you, but you are also going to learn the practical side of magic as well.  Do you understand?"</blockquote>
