Welcome to Gaia! ::

A tall graceful woman with unusually long purple hair topped with a pink bow happened to watch the two of them disappear. She gave the spot a curious look but decided it was none of her business, though she made sure to note the spot and the description of the younger man. It might come in handy later. She continued walking towards the gym, her floor length pink dress flaring out behind her.

(Shall we time skip to the next school day?)

There was a slight woosh sound of displaced air as Redtail appeared, his arm around Celise, then the two went their seperate ways, Redtail to his Elemental Classroom, Celise to the gym, both of them being discreetly followed by UEF Marines in full Assault Mode GIBAS, stealthed of course.

(To clarify, only the Marines are stealthed. Celise is forbidden from turning invisible and Redtail thinks it's a waste of power.)

Redtail wasn't surprised when he entered his classroom to find it untouched. He figured Arkena either didn't have time or figured he had better things to do. He set a padd down in the table and turned it off, not wanting anyone to read what was on it till the right moment.

(Lol. They've always been there. Normally I'd mentioned the fact that their cloaking device also hides them from magic, but Redtail did mention that Arkena was powerful. And they did reveal themselves during the fight with the Shadowling. So we're good. XD)

Celise visually inspected each and every weapon and display case, to include the Mark-15, but they were all untouched.

"Of course. No one is that stupid."

She then removed all the desks and replaced them with long benches. The class would do VERY little sitting down today.

Redtail didn't even look up from the tablet on which he was writing.

"It is customary, and polite, to knock before entering someone's room. And it is also polite to introduce yourself. So...why don't you try that again. Then I'll acknowledge your statement and respond in kind. Exit, Stage Left."

He continued to write, the language in a flowing script unknown to this Universe.

Redtail continued to write, no part of his being making any sign he'd noticed what had just happened.

"Perhaps I wasn't clear. You personally, all of you, knock on the door, while it's closed, with you in the hallway. Then you wait for a response from the person inside. Once they give you some sort of verbal response, then you come in. And then you politely introduce yourself."

He turned the page.

"Now while my patience would allow me to play this game till the heat-death of this Universe, my schedule does not. So you can either do this the right way or vacate the premises. Because something that your son never picked up on, and I don't think you have yet, is either be respectful or polite. You're being neither. So...what will your next action be?"

The words he'd been writing had begun to glow with an icy blue color, though since the magic was in the book itself, it was unaffected by the outside world. But that also meant that neither Redtail nor his impolite, imposing guest, could tap it.

"Then leave. I do not remember summoning you here the discuss anything. You were the one that barged in on ME in the middle of a delicate operation"

He turned the page, the icy blue glow getting brighter and brighter. Obviously he was almost finished.

"And since you were the one that barged in, I am perfectly in the right to continue what I'm doing, especially since it cannot be interrupted. And...now I'm done."

He closed the book, then slowly stood up, facing his unwelcome guest. And when he spoke, it was obvious that there was a touch of anger in his voice.

"Under the laws of my birthpeople, I could have you executed for gross disrespect. My culture is based around respect, to the point where people were careful to watch what they say. Now, I am well aware of the fact that I cannot do that here, but it is something you should take under advisement. And as for your blatant insult of my honor..."

Redtail tapped a button on a remote at the edge of his desk, causing a massive holo-display to appear between the two. It showed the entire conversation between Redtail and Arkena the day prior, in which Redtail offered him a challenge. If he CHOSE to spar with Celise and won, Redtail would pass him and allow him to not come to class. If he chose not to accept, or was defeated, he would be required to attend class and actually participate.

"Tis hard to hear 'my side of the story' if you already have your mind made up. As the world can plainly see, your information is faulty. Whether you choose to believe this or not, this can and will hold up in front of any Board of Inquiry. So you can sit there and blather on about my perceived breaking of the rules all you want, but you will end up the fool. I've probably been doing this for longer than your family line has been around. So you take your pride, you take your full schedule that for some reason allows you to take the time to talk to me, and leave my room. Now. And if you don't, I'll have you escorted out under armed guard. And before you say that I can do that, my contract and diplomatic immunity says I can. If you wish to talk to me, do it during my off period. And be polite. Now, leave."

There was a rippling behind Redtail as a team of Marines formed up behind him in case they were needed. Redtail sat back down in his chair and began to go back over his notes, checking them for faults and discrepancies.
